A bowl of rice noodles across the bridge
The baby told me that her classmate Ang Rong was from Luliang County, and she had to take the high-speed train when she went back. Wa's eyes widened and she said in surprise, Ang Rong told me that she had never eaten bridge rice noodles!
Cross-bridge rice noodles are a well-known snack in Yunnan. Especially in the past, when the two brothers of Qiaoxiangyuan did not have a lawsuit and had a conflict, Kunming was full of Qiaoxiangyuan shops. Business is booming. Each restaurant is full of guests, with two performances of folk dances every day, and there is even a queue for seats at noon. I remember that the advertising slogan at that time was, brothers together, its profit is gold, Jiang brothers Qiaoxiangyuan. It was very easy to listen to. It's really blooming everywhere, and it's in full bloom. It's a pity that the two brothers turned their faces and started a lawsuit of interest. As a result, business gradually declined. Nowadays, there are only a few in Kunming. It doesn't even seem to taste good.
But in its heyday, we still ate it often. Especially when friends from other places come, they must be taken with them. Serve a super scary bowl that will make your eyes wide open. It was filled with a large bowl of milky white broth, which was not hot, but it was too hot to touch with your hands. If you order a champion meal, the ingredients must be placed on a small table.
The taste is extremely delicious. The soup is also strong. It's very enjoyable to eat a big bowl. Even I, an outsider who is not interested in rice noodles, is willing to eat a bowl.
But the topic I want to talk about today is not a specialty of Yunnan. It's the baby's surprise. She grew up in the city, and we used to take her to eat rice noodles in the past. So in her opinion, it is really surprising that her classmates of the same age have not eaten cross-bridge rice noodles in Yunnan.
"What's this?" I talked to the child, slowly falling into my own memories. "I'm also from the countryside, and when we were young, our family didn't have the conditions to take us anywhere to play and where to eat. Although we are only 40 kilometers away from Changsha, we have not been to Changsha a few times. I haven't even been to Mount Yuelu. Including Hunan's famous snack land fire palace, I have never been to it. I've never tasted stinky tofu from the Fire Palace. Although I was born in Hunan, I hardly ever went to any of the tourist attractions in Hunan. ”
It really is. I was born in a rural area, and before I left home at the age of eighteen, the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen was the verdant mountains, green bamboo, and heavy snow in my hometown. Endless green rice paddies. A pond like a water mirror.
I haven't been to Zhangjiajie, nor have I been to Changsha Zoo. Where is Yuelu Academy, what is the head of Orange Island, Shaoshan Mao zhuxi
I don't know how distinctive the former residence is. However, we have the former residence of Ren Bishi and the former residence of Yang Kaihui in our local area. However, I often go to the school when I join the team and join the group. But because the scenery is so familiar, the preserved former homes are even more dilapidated than my house. There are also a lot of tables and chairs, old tables, and grandma and grandmother's house also have them. The kerosene lamp on the table was used when I was a child. Also because it was too cold in winter, I fell asleep next to the lamp while wearing a cotton jacket to do my homework. The kerosene lamp lit the sleeve of my padded jacket, and it was so baked that it smoked, and the smell of burnt paste startled my brother who was doing his homework next to me.
So, going to these places doesn't feel like a pleasure at all. It just feels like a door. It seems that it is still a family of relatives who are poorer than us.
Because that is the place where I was born and raised, the mountains and rivers haunt me day and night, nourish me, and nurture me. It's long since melted into my blood.
The deepest impression is just to take the oath under the statue of Yang Kaihui's white marble, at that time, looking at the tall white statue, I was very curious in my heart, wow, is this really white marble? Such a big piece of jade!
Then I was curious about the vendors who had a transparent fish tank on the side of the road. They're selling the kind of salamanders with red spots on a black belly, a bit like baby baby fish. We often go to the rocks next to the reservoir in the mountains to catch them, but it is not too interesting to catch them, and we forget about them after a few days. Can this also be sold for money? Who would want it? Won't you catch it yourself? Ten dollars a piece!
At that time, I was very curious and disdainful to think.
So, when I talked to the baby, the baby quickly understood. And said, I went with her to eat bridge rice noodles that day.
Yes, the environment in which it was grown is different, the resources are different, and of course the experience is different.
But everyone, as long as they work hard, can create the life they want.
Whether from the countryside or from the city.
