The top ten monsters in Shaanxi are actually a unique life.

as the saying goes, "a hundred miles is different from the wind, and ten miles is different from the customs." In this yellow land of Shaanxi, due to the influence of climate, economy and culture, Shaanxi people (Guanzhong people) have formed some unique ways in clothing, food, housing, transportation and east. Outsiders are very curious about this, and they are called "Ten Monsters in Shaanxi" (that is, "Ten Monsters in Guanzhong"): noodles are like belts, pot helmets are like pot benefits, chili pepper is a dish, steamed buns are sold in big bowls, bowls and pots are difficult to separate, Pappa wears them on her head, the house is half-covered, girls don't sit up, and singing and yelling.

here are the details

1. Noodles are like belts

"The pulled noodles are as wide as belts". Pulled noodles are also called ice-ice noodles (pronounced biang－－biang, which is not found in modern Chinese dictionaries). The ice-ice noodles made by authentic Guanzhong people are still different from the pulled noodles usually eaten by city people. Authentic ice noodles, the width of a noodle can reach two or three inches, and the length is about 1 meters. When it is thick, it is similar to a coin, but when it is thin, it is like a cicada. A noodle is enough for a meal, but for the Guanzhong people with a large appetite, it is easy to eat 8 Liang or 1 Jin at a time.

people in Guanzhong eat noodles, and they like to knead them hard, roll them thick and cut them wide. After this kind of noodle is cooked, it tastes smooth, soft, intense and strong when it is put in a bowl, whether it is poured with SAO Zi or chili pepper. Delicious and hunger-resistant. People stretch and shrink their necks, purr and swallow into their stomachs, eat and swell, burp a dozen times, and suddenly they are full of strength, pulling carts and carrying stones up the mountain, and they don't feel hungry for five or six hours.

Second, the pot helmet is like a pot cover

According to legend, when the dry mausoleum was built in the Tang Dynasty, the construction progress was often delayed and punished because of the excessive number of military craftsmen serving. So, a soldier put the dough in his helmet in anxiety, put the helmet in the fire and baked it into cakes. Now, Guo Kui has been in Shaanxi for thousands of years.

to make a pot helmet, the dough should be so hard that you can't rub it with your hands. You should use wooden poles to press and knead it, and then slowly bake it in a large pot with a diameter of more than 2 feet. In this way, the branded pot helmet is crispy outside in the morning, fragrant and delicious, and it will not go bad after ten or eight days. Guo kui should be counted as "Ganzhou (now Ganxian) Guo kui".

Third, chili pepper is a typical dish

As for chili pepper, most people think that people from Hunan and Sichuan can eat Chili. In fact, Sichuanese only regard chili pepper as a kind of seasoning, but in Shaanxi, "No Spice" is a serious dish. Even the front of every household in Xi 'an is covered with a string of gratifying red peppers.

"Oil Spitter" looks red, smells fragrant and eats spicy food. It can be used to mix noodles and eat steamed buns. People often say, "It's good to eat spicy ice noodles!"

fourth, selling steamed buns in big bowls

"selling beef and mutton steamed buns in big bowls" can be called "the first bubble in Shaanxi" and "the first bowl in Xi 'an". It seems to be a waste of time to go to Xi 'an without eating beef and mutton buns. And beef and mutton bread in soup is Muslim food.

People in Guanzhong pay attention to material benefits when eating. Meat is a big piece of meat, steamed buns are hard to hold, and bowls are big and old bowls that can hold 6 taels and 8 taels. The mutton bread in soup just served is very hot and steaming. When eating, use chopsticks to dial from around the bowl to your mouth and eat while dialing.

The methods of mutton soaking are mainly divided into cook the meat, boiling steamed buns, boiling soup, breaking steamed buns and boiling steamed buns. The meat should be cooked crisp and rotten. Steamed buns should be branded hard and yellow, but also insoluble in water and not rotten in cooking. The soup is made of beef and mutton bone marrow. Break the steamed buns as evenly as possible, then add the steamed buns, meat, vermicelli, onion, salt, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings, and cook them in a frying pan.

Because of the different cooking methods, mutton buns are boiled and stir-fried. The amount of soup added is different, which is divided into dry bubble (less soup) and water siege (more soup), and you can eat it in your own way. This kind of bread in soup is dry, hot and fragrant, which is very appetizing. Therefore, the Paomo Pavilion chose a large porcelain bowl made in Yaozhou (Yaoxian) to hold Paomo.

5. Bowl and basin are difficult to separate

Shaanxi people (Laoshan) like to eat with a white porcelain blue-and-white big bowl of nearly 1 feet made in Yaozhou, which is called "old bowl" by the locals. This kind of old bowl is even bigger than the small one, so it is often difficult to tell the bowl from the basin.

In the rural areas of Guanzhong, at the head of the village, in front of the village and under the trees, men are holding big and old bowls (a bowl of soup and rice plus two steamed buns is six or seven taels), squatting together and chatting with relish while eating. This is the famous "old bowl meeting".

In rural areas, people have a lot of labor intensity, work hard and eat a lot, so it is enough to fill it in an old bowl when going out, and there is no need to go home to fill it, which saves a lot of trouble.

Six, Pappa wears a handkerchief on his head

In the "western films" reflecting the life of Shaanxi people, it was often seen that old men and women wearing sheep's belly towels and double-breasted jackets wore (topped) a black or white handkerchief on their heads. If you are lucky enough to go to the Guanzhong countryside, the shape here is exactly the same as what you saw in the movie.

It turns out that Shaanxi province is rich in cotton, and local people are used to wearing handkerchiefs made of cotton on their heads. It can not only prevent dust, rain and sun, but also wipe juice and hands and wrap things. It is really economical, affordable and convenient.

VII. Houses with one side covered

Houses with one side covered can be seen everywhere in Xi 'an City and rural Shaanxi Province. What is a side cover? The roof of a general house is herringbone, but the house in Shaanxi is a curl of the herringbone. It is said that because Shaanxi is dry in the morning and there is little rain, the houses built on this side can let all the rain from Jane's stamp flow to her own fields, which is the so-called "rich water does not flow to outsiders".

Another reason is that in the past hundred years, the agricultural development in Shaanxi has been slow, but the population has increased rapidly. Families who lived together in rural areas had a limited land area, a large population and tight housing, so the history of "half-built" houses was formed.

Eight, girls don't keep to the outside world

It is said that the land in Guanzhong area is fertile, so few people travel to other places to survive. Therefore, there is a proverb, "Old people don't go out (Tongguan), and Sichuan is indispensable". Over time, not only men don't go out for long trips, but even girls don't marry far away.

9. Squat up without sitting

Because the men in Guanzhong have to squat for three meals a day and have an "old bowl meeting" together, it takes more than an hour to bribe them. In addition, people like to squat in the lee and sunny places in winter to "bask in the sun" or "lose the party" and play chess. As a result, Guanzhong people formed the habit of "squatting". Outsiders say this is "squatting up without sitting on the bench." In fact, it is a habit for people to rest after being tired.

ten, singing opera roared

singing opera refers to Shaanxi opera. It is characterized by high agitation and intense haste. In particular, the singing of the painted face is even more loud, and the locals call it "earning a broken head". Foreigners joke: "Singing Shaanxi opera, first, the stage should be strong to avoid collapse; Second, the actors should be in good health to avoid getting sick; Third, the audience should be bold, so as not to be frightened. "

The comedian blushes and has a thick neck, and yells "crazy", but as long as the audience cries "good", the comedian is as happy as winning any grand prize. People think that this is the real Shaanxi opera, which sounds "enjoyable", "satisfying one's appetite" and "burning too much (excellent)".
