Shanghai is a bustling metropolis. High-rise buildings, such as steel forests, have lost the hearts of vagrants; The flashing neon is like a fascinating flag. People with poor concentration can't help following it and never see it again. A rural girl like me can't stand such a toss, not to mention such extravagance and waste.
Whenever I am in a bad mood, I always think of my hometown-Wushan-the easternmost small county in Chongqing. It is said that it is a county town, but in fact it is also like a larger rural area.
When talking about Wushan with Shanghainese, their voices are unified: eternal amber. It seems that Wushan has nothing but clouds. I won't refute it, because it's a fact. Compared with a metropolis like Shanghai, Wushan is really nothing. However, people who live in luxury houses will never feel the simplicity and beauty of simple houses; Including taste buds.
Shanghai food is sweet. Accustomed to eating five kinds of miscellaneous grains, I can't adapt to such monotonous taste. Therefore, whenever you sit at the dining table, Wushan cuisine will pop up in your mind; The one with the most times and the strongest sense of the picture has to be "Juanjuan" in Wushan.
Wushan "Juan Juan" is a very simple food, that is, a piece of dough wrapped with hot dogs and a few strands of coriander (or onion seedlings), and a layer of Chili sauce is brushed on the dough; Bite it into your mouth, stir it with your tongue, mix it with saliva, and then roll it into your stomach. That kind of feeling is bright, transparent and satisfying, just like a dry sponge, sucking water drops wantonly.
After eating a "Juanjuan", there is still a strong and special "Juanjuan" fragrance between the lips and teeth. As soon as you speak, people will know that you have eaten Juanjuan.
The taste of food is determined by the raw materials. The "rolled" dough is hand-rolled, and the auxiliary materials come from our own fields, especially Chili sauce, which is made by vendors through multiple processes. China on the Tip of the Tongue has a fixed title for this kind of food made of special ingredients: gourmet. Although "Juanjuan" has no chance to appear on TV, it has branded this delicious food in the hearts of Wushan diners.
There are many delicious foods similar to Wushan Juanjuan, such as hand-grabbed cakes in Taiwan Province Province. However, there are no coriander and onion seedlings in the hand-grabbed cake, and lettuce is replaced. Although lettuce is nutritious, it is tasteless and difficult to swallow. The beauty of food has both nutrition and taste. With proper salty and spicy Chili sauce, Wushan Juanjuan should be both nutritious and tasty.
There are many delicious foods in Wushan. There are many kinds of triangle cakes and ladle cakes on the hundred steps ladder. I only like "rolling" Because it carries the memories of my high school days.
Students are the hardest "occupation". They dressed up as Dai Yue and snacks to get into a good university. If so, you must take pains and have fun. The greatest pleasure is to go to the gate of "seven schools in one" with my classmates after self-study in the morning and buy an "inner volume". The knowledge absorbed by morning reading is absorbed by the body along with the "volume".
There is a "2 1 day rule", which says that one thing will become a habit if it persists for 2 1 day. For me, "Juanjuan" ate 2 1 for many days. Three years in high school, over and over again, the taste of "curly hair" has taken root on the tip of the tongue.
In Shanghai, you can't buy "flower rolls". In my spare time, I try to make it myself, but it doesn't taste like that. For one thing, there are no suitable ingredients, and for another, personal skills are not in place. After several attempts, I finally gave up; But I haven't forgotten.
Back to Wushan the year before last, I ran to the door of "seven schools in one" at the first time, looking for traces of vendors and smelling "Juanjuan". It was not until I finished eating a "roll" that I suddenly realized: I really went home.
Now, there are Dicos, hamburgers and cokes in Wushan, and the students enjoy them. They look delicious. If they are willing to ponder "Juanjuan", they will realize that "Juanjuan" in Wushan is not worse than "outsiders" or even worse.
I prefer Wushan to Shanghai. She is such a small place, with no tall buildings and buildings. But there is a "quantity". Wushan and Wushan people, like a delicious "roll", are plain and fragrant.
