Part 1: Evocative snacks of old Beijing

Today, my mother and I went to Niujie to enjoy the sweet and delicious snacks of old Beijing. The variety of snacks there is dazzling, including aiwowo, pea yellow, sugar roll fruit, cheese Wei..., haha! Come with me to taste the special snacks!

We first came to the "Niujie Hongji Snack Shop". The restaurant was crowded, and there were quite a few people eating. There are all kinds of delicious food. My mother and I ordered some snacks. After a while, the donkey rolled and was served. The donkey's roll is oval in shape and its surface is khaki. I couldn't wait to pick up a piece of donkey roll and put it in my mouth, wow! It tastes great! It feels sticky in your mouth after eating it, but it actually contains my favorite bean paste filling. I asked my mother: "How do you make such a good donkey rolling?" My mother told me that the outside is made of soybean noodles and the inside is wrapped with bean paste and brown sugar. My mother also told me historical stories about it! Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, Lafayette was tired of eating the palace dishes and asked the imperial chef to make a new dish for her. The imperial chef innovated by putting stuffings in yellow rice noodles and made the dish. When the dishes were finished and about to be served, the eunuch's little donkey happened to bump into the royal chef, and the new dishes fell into the yellow rice noodles. It was too late for the imperial chef to re-make the dish, so he had to bring the new dish that had fallen into the yellow rice noodles to Lafayette to taste. Unexpectedly, Lafayette also praised it and said: "This dish is really good. What's its name?" The chef thought that this was the little donkey's fault, so he casually called it "Donkey Rolling", which is how the name "Donkey Rolling" came about. Ha ha! This story is interesting!

Then, the waiter aunt brought us another snack called Aiwowo. Ai Wowo looks like a snow-white little rabbit, chubby. The taste of Aiwowo is quite good. There are fillings made of various foods, including peach kernels, sesame seeds, melon seeds, green plums, golden cakes, white sugar... As I looked at it, my mouth was watering. After eating Aiwowo, I wonder what the next snack will be? Just as I was thinking about it, a yellow thing was placed on the table. ah! It turns out to be peas! The appearance of pea yellow is yellow, the skin looks very smooth, and it is very refreshing and sweet in the mouth.

After walking out of "Hongji Snack Bar", my mother suggested taking me to eat cheese from "Cheese Wei". He said this was a famous palace snack. Cheese Wei is a small traditional-style shop. When you walk in, there are pictures of various flavors of cheese on the wall. We ordered two bowls of cheese, one bowl of palace cheese and one bowl of yellow cheese. My palace cheese was white and I scooped a big spoonful into my mouth. Wow! It's so cool, it's cool to the bottom of my heart. If you take a bite on a hot summer day, it will be extremely refreshing.

Because my stomach capacity is really limited, I cannot taste all the traditional snacks of old Beijing. Anyway, everyone must be full! Come with me next time to taste old Beijing snacks!

Part 2: One of my favorite snacks

There are many snacks in the world. Some people like to eat this, some people like to eat that, but I am the only one who likes to eat them. I only like Tianjin’s cannabis flowers. It brings back memories for me.

I remember one time, my aunt brought back a box of hemp flowers from Tianjin. I picked it up and looked at it. Just looking at it made my mouth water. There was a picture of hemp flowers printed on the outside. The middle is sprinkled with sesame seeds, and the twists are poured with honey. It looks delicious at first glance. I couldn't wait to open the box, picked up the twist inside and took a bite, wow! The whole person is like coming to a candy castle, extremely sweet.

I like Tianjin’s cannabis flower not only because it is delicious, but also because of its interesting origin.

As early as more than a hundred years ago, on the west side of Haihe River in Weihai, Tianjin, at the south end of the bustling Xiaobailou, there was an alley called 18th Street. It turned out that there was a small Mahua restaurant in the alley. Shop, the name is "Gui Fa Xiang". Eighteenth Street Twist is an innovation after repeated exploration. A crispy filling containing osmanthus, minjiang, peach kernels, melon sticks and other small ingredients is sandwiched between white strips and sesame strips. The fried twists are soft, sweet and distinctive, creating Assorted stuffed cannabis flowers. It is characterized by being fragrant, crispy, crispy and sweet, and will not lose its flavor, become soft or deteriorate when placed in a dry and ventilated place for several months. Domestic and foreign guests who come to Tianjin must bring a few boxes of twists to give to their relatives and friends before leaving. This is where twists get interesting.

This snack is still imprinted in the back of my mind.

Part 3: My Favorite Snacks

Have you ever tasted a kind of steamed buns? Although they are small, they taste really good. By the way, that’s Xiao Long Bao. If you want to eat Xiao Long Bao, you have to go to the authentic Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao shop.

One day, my father got up early and took me to taste Nanxiang Xiaolong. I set off with my father sleepily, mumbling: "What's so delicious about Nanxiang Xiaolong that you have to get up so early?" When we arrived in Nanxiang, we entered the restaurant and smelled the delicious smell. The aroma made us eager to order the xiaolong. Ten minutes later, the hot steamed dumplings were served. The skin was extremely thin and exquisite. The meat filling inside was looming and had a light green color. I learned that minced green onions were added to the filling. It looked so good. People salivate. I couldn't wait to pick up my chopsticks, pick up a small steamed bun, dip it in some vinegar, and open my mouth. When I was about to eat, I heard my father yell: "Slow down, be careful of it being hot. Before eating the steamed bun, you must first remove the food from the steamed bun." Boil it and suck it dry before eating the steamed dumplings.

"So, I followed my father's example, raised my mouth, gently took a small bite on the skin, and began to carefully suck the soup inside. When I had almost finished sucking, I immediately put the Xiaolong Baozi into my mouth. Inside. Slowly chewing the thin skin and flexible filling, it felt so delicious! After finishing one basket, I wolfed down the second basket, as if my stomach would never be full. Yes. Looking at the people around me, everyone is eating with gusto. Dad smiled and asked me, "Will you eat it again next time?" "Yes, yes" I replied hurriedly.

This is the well-known Xiaolongbao. It is small and exquisite, but the taste can make you intoxicated.

Four: Local snacks

As the saying goes: “Food is the first priority for the people. "Speaking of the delicacies in my hometown, there are countless, but when it comes to the "most beautiful" food, I would recommend the crispy fried oysters in our hometown. Crispy fried oysters are a famous snack in Maoming City. In the hotel , in food stalls and in seafood cities, they are often loved by people.

Oysters are caught from the sea, also known as oysters. The green and uneven oyster shells are filled with crystal and tender oysters. Oyster meat.

The surface of the cooked fried oysters is golden and mouth-watering.

During the winter vacation this year, my parents took me to the Electric City to try the delicious food and specially ordered the crispy oysters. The oysters on the plate were covered with a layer of batter, and there were faint stars of oil in them. I quickly picked one up with chopsticks and took a bite. It was so crunchy and fragrant. , The oysters inside are soft. "Don't worry," Dad said, "Watch it!" "I saw him pick out the quick-growing green vegetable leaves from the basket next to him, then pick up the fried oysters with chopsticks and put them on the vegetable leaves. Then he skillfully wrapped the fried oysters tightly and shook them in front of my eyes to indicate that they were ready to eat. I did the same thing and took another big bite. This way, I won’t get tired of it no matter how much I eat.

However, the crispy fried oysters are so delicious. How is it made? I sneaked into the hotel kitchen out of curiosity, and I saw a chef washing the oysters, drying them, adding salt, MSG, and pepper and marinating them for a few minutes. Mix corn starch and flour with water to make a slurry, add the oysters and coat with the batter. Finally, heat the oil and fry the oysters until they are hot and crispy. The waiter took away the fried oysters.

How about it? You must be salivating after hearing about the crispy fried oysters from our hometown, so come to Maoming and try the crispy fried oysters.
