It’s National Day again, I’m very happy.

I am glad that I was born in China, living in Luoyang, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, and living in this place known as Tangcheng.

I feel deeply lucky to live in this great era, to be well-off along with the people of the whole country, and to have no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, I searched in the ancient capital, wandered in Tangcheng, and drank all the Luoyang Thirteen Soups.

I don’t know why, but I have slowly fallen in love with Luoyang’s sweet beef soup.

Is it because the taste has become lighter with age, or is it that the more I know about Luoyang’s sweet beef soup, the more I feel at ease with it?

The bowl of soup that sticks deep in my memory is a bowl of mutton soup.

The freshness of mutton soup is second to none among Luoyang soups.

The soup restaurant back then looked like a small storefront, with a large iron pot set up as a stove facing the street. The fire was strong, and the soup was boiling in the pot, with mutton and mutton bones looming inside.

When the villagers drink soup, in order to save money, they always bring home-baked cakes wrapped in handkerchiefs.

The chef put the broken dry biscuits on a spoon and helped the soup customer rinse them in the hot soup before pouring them into the bowl.

It was a black porcelain bowl, shiny and shiny.

In the soup bowl, put a few slices of mutton, haggis, and mutton blood clots on the softened cake, sprinkle with chopped green onion and coriander, add condiments, add oil and chili pepper, pour the hot mutton soup over it, put it in a black porcelain bowl

Immediately, a strange aroma overflows, and the red pepper, green coriander, and green and white green onion, stimulated by the hot mutton soup, all emit their own fragrances. When mixed together, it is immediately wonderful and fragrant.

It's so mouth-watering that you can't wait to drink it immediately for a full meal.

As the saying goes, you can't drink hot soup if you're anxious.

So, some people had to blow it with their mouths to cool it down and drink it while blowing it.

The black porcelain bowl, red peppers, white onions, green coriander, and the hot and fragrant mutton soup are the gourmet feast in my childhood eyes. They remain deeply on the tip of my tongue, float in front of my nose, and are engraved in my heart.

in my mind.

And this morning, when I was sitting in the spacious and bright Dongguan Qiaotou Yiguo Beef Soup Restaurant in Changxiamen, Taikang Road, facing the sweet beef soup that I particularly like to drink, it is difficult to describe it in words.

Luoyang sweet beef soup is unknown to outsiders and they think it is beef soup with added sugar. In fact, it is the original beef soup without salt. It should be due to the good water quality in Luoyang. It is named because it has its own sweetness. It is similar to Luoyang sweet noodles.

The name is exactly the same.

I know a female college student who came to Luoyang to work. When she first arrived, people from Luoyang offered her sweet beef soup. She was not used to it, but she was too embarrassed to ask. She held her nose and drank the soup. Finally, she learned that she could add salt to taste.

Later, she settled in Luoyang, got married and had children, and fell in love with Luoyang's beef soup.

I like to drink sweet beef soup. What I like most is its original flavor, which is an innate mellow flavor.

Take a sip of the sweet soup and gently enter your mouth. The unique mellow aroma of the sweet beef soup instantly ignites the taste buds on the tip of the tongue and mouth. Many familiar flavors will immediately come to your mind. Is it the taste of the sweet beef soup in Dongguan, Wan'an Street, Old City?

Is it the taste of Lao Ma’s sweet beef soup in Dongguan, Hanhe, and Xiangdong?

Is it the taste of Cimin beef soup on Qiming Road, Xianhe?

Or the taste of Beiyao Ginkgo Beef Soup?

Yes or no, it is a unique flavor of Xianhe in the old city of Luoyang.

I like to drink a bowl of sweet beef soup first, and then a bowl of salted beef soup. The mellow aroma of sweet beef soup and the fresh aroma of corned beef soup alternately stimulate the taste buds in the mouth. It has a wonderful feeling and a kind of enjoyment, and it lasts for a long time.

Neither hungry nor thirsty, so there is also a saying in Luoyang that "sweet soup nourishes people".

This bowl of sweet beef soup in Luoyang has a long history. Although there may be interruptions due to various reasons, the historical inheritance continues.

By chance, Mr. Zhang Yaojie, who has a special liking for sweet beef soup, got the Dongguan beef soup. This is his luck, the luck of Luoyang soup, and the blessing of Luoyang soup customers.

A bowl of soup, a city, a culture, a feeling.

When drinking soup in Luoyang, you can taste delicious food, taste history, feel the pride of the prosperity of the motherland, and also feel the beauty of life in Luoyang.
