? When I was studying in Nanjing, I often followed this beautiful Jinling girl to eat delicious food everywhere, such as the Lotus Lake Red Bean Lantern Festival in Confucius Temple and the fried stinky tofu by Qinhuai River ... The rare weekend time was consumed by both of us. It must be said that the profound heritage of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties also accumulated a full food culture.
? It is inevitable to mention the very representative osmanthus salted duck. In high school, a best friend came from Nanjing. Every time her parents visit the school, they always bring a big bag of salted duck and duck gizzard. Naturally, some of them eventually fall into my stomach. Compared with the same meals in the school canteen, the arrival of salted duck is undoubtedly a timely help. Duck meat is firm and not rotten, it tastes fragrant but not greasy, and it also exudes a faint osmanthus fragrance. After class, several people sat together, one duck wing and one duck neck, chatting while eating, which was simply a great pleasure in boring boarding life. Once, I was in a hurry to go to self-study, and the unfinished salted duck opened the bag and put it on the table. When I returned to the dormitory at night, I found only a plastic bag and a string of cat paw prints on the table. I was so upset that I cursed this short-lived wild cat thousands of times.
? Later, I went to college and was lucky enough to share a dormitory with Damei Niu Jinling. As gourmets, we are destined to share the same interests. My Su-style cakes and her Jinling specialties are often filled with small cabinets in the dormitory, and we were once worried about the soaring weight. Even so, I like the salted duck gizzards, salted duck claws, salted duck wings and so on that she brought from home. Once I eat them, I can chew them with relish even if I hold a duck bone for a long time. When I lose the bone, I have to sip my fingers back and forth.
? Duck blood vermicelli soup used to be my favorite, and I was even addicted. I felt uncomfortable if I didn't eat it for a few days. Soft and smooth vermicelli is put in a bamboo colander, washed back and forth in a boiling pot several times, and then buckled in a bowl filled with old duck soup. A spoonful of duck blood, a spoonful of duck liver and a spoonful of duck intestines, sprinkled with chopped green onion and coriander, and then dripped with hot sauce and sesame oil, the taste is almost rare to the eyebrows. After school, when my stomach was full of empty plans, I came to serve such a bowl, sweeping away hunger and fatigue, as if I had revived with blood.
? At first, the thick duck oil and duck smell in the back street of Andemen made me make a detour every time I passed by, but one day my deskmate slipped out of the school gate and brought me a freshly baked duck oil biscuit from the back street, which greatly jumped my feet and made me regret turning a blind eye to the duck oil biscuit stall. The palm-sized sesame seed cake was baked into a golden crispy crust, and the crisp fragrance floating from it was wrapped in bursts of hot air, which made people take a quick bite. The water and oil skin are distinct, the white sesame seeds are mellow, and the chopped green onion is fresh and fragrant. There is no duck smell as expected, but it is delicious beyond ordinary biscuits, which inadvertently brings surprises to the senses. After that, for more than a year, I became a frequent visitor to the booth of Backstreet Bakery. When I bought it, I started with half a dozen. After all, delicious food must stand up to sharing with friends.
? It has been more than five years since I left Nanjing in a blink of an eye, but I still remember the delicious food I met in the streets and lanes of Nanjing. I once laughed at myself to my best friend. Once I slipped and fell into the encirclement of Nanjing Roast Duck, I could never get out again. Of course, Nanjing cuisine ends with the above. I just take this opportunity to look back on the days when I studied abroad. These foods not only filled my stomach, but also indirectly filled my heart. Thank you for bringing me delicious food in this beautiful city, and also thank those lovely people for bringing me delicious food.
