Fried enemas without nutrition and bean juice that tastes like "lousy swill" have flourished for a long time, especially in old Beijing.
People like it. To this end, we visited four restaurants dealing in Beijing-style snacks and dishes, and compared the two kinds of Beijing-style snacks.

Less. It's just that there is no bean juice, which makes people feel a little sorry. If people who haven't eaten bean juice are not real.
Beijingers, then there is no bean juice in Jingweier snack street. It seems that there is more or less Beijing flavor. Fortunately, it's here.
Most diners in the restaurant don't order a strange bowl of bean juice. The enema tablets here are cut very thin.
At the dinner table, garlic juice was also put into the plate, which was very fine, but the overall taste was not authentic enough.
Snack Street not only operates authentic Beijing-style snacks, but also occasionally introduces local-style foods.
For example, Mala Tang (Sichuan flavor), Lamian Noodles and Hudou (Lanzhou flavor). No matter from the environment or service,
Si hexuan has nothing to say. The comprehensive taste of snacks is also very good, but it is not as authentic as eating snacks in the street.

Tripe in old Beijing [reposted]
Among all the snacks in Beijing, the most addictive ones are fried tripe and bean juice.
Fried tripe is the representative of China's diet, and a sheep's belly can be divided into food letter, belly plate (divided into yin and yang sides, called "plate core" after skin removal), belly collar (divided into "girder" and "silver ingot buckle", called "belly kernel" after skin removal), gourd and grass.
"The soup is slightly warm in an instant, the ingredients are complete, and the wine is a bottle." Liquor is a good partner for belly-popping. With white wine, it is a supreme enjoyment to eat crispy Sandan, mushroom head or beef and mutton belly. Of course, these samples are also expensive enough. It doesn't matter if you don't have a lot of money. Mutton tripe is the cheapest, and it's certainly not very chewy. You can only "swallow fruit raw".
Earlier, the belly burst was the belly burst, and there were no cows. The old man, Wang Fukui, said that it started with his father, Wang Fukui, and was inspired by Wang, who changed the oil explosion into water explosion and spread it.
The quality of fried belly depends on many aspects, such as material selection, washing, knife cutting, water explosion, seasoning and so on. If the blinds are black, it can be judged that it is a bad cow, and the "grass buds" on the stomach are yellow, which proves that the quality of the stomach varies with different foods. Gastric lavage quickly and cleanly, using cold water; Different parts have different knife methods; The water explosion time is accurate to seconds; Adjust the ingredients carefully, or you will fall short.
In old Beijing, tripe was the main thing, but now it's just the opposite. Most of the cattle goods are tender, and it is difficult to keep fresh after storage and freezing. Moreover, it is difficult to grasp the heat of different parts, while beef noodles are easy to store and have low requirements for chefs. So Beijing's tripe-fried restaurants have opened one after another. The whole thing is that "the radish is too fast to wash off the mud", and the skill level has not been shown for the time being. What's more, the cooked tripe is used to fool customers. Here are three old brands for you to choose from:
Shenglong Jin tripe restaurant: Beitucheng West Road 103.
Fried tripe restaurant: No.39, Lane 2, Qianmen Wailang.
Dongxingshun tripe Zhang: Qian Haidong Rock 17, Shichahai.

Recently, due to its popularity and difficulty in ensuring fresh belly goods, different regions have not supplied them as before. Besides being fresh, the frying time is just right, and the fried belly is crisp and fresh. If people who eat fried tripe can drink, they will always drink two or two and eat two freshly baked sesame cakes. Especially in old Beijing, there is a saying that "if you want to eat autumn, you must eat fried tripe". When you are in beginning of autumn, eating fried tripe is very particular.

Beijing snack
Anyone who has been to Beijing will be interested in Beijing snacks when it comes to eating, except Quanjude roast duck and steamed dumplings.
Snacks are different from snacks and meals. Snacks are foods to "fill your stomach" or eat and play before meals. The characteristics of flavor snacks are: first, rich flavor, distinctive local characteristics, distinct sweetness and saltiness, and obvious taste stimulation; Second, the texture is pure, either crisp and delicious, or soft and smooth; Third, the temperature is extreme, and some temperatures are extremely high. They only taste when they are hot, just like chop suey and hot fried cakes. Some of them are very cold, such as Jiang Mi Gao Liang and bean jelly. Fourth, the price is cheap, and they are all delicious and not expensive.
Beijing snacks can be divided into three types: Han flavor, Hui flavor and court flavor. There are various cooking methods, such as steaming, frying, frying, burning, frying, roasting, rinsing, soaking, frying, stewing and boiling, totaling about 100 kinds.
Friends who come to Beijing, I will tell you a few places to taste Beijing snacks: first, there are more than 70 kinds of special snacks in Nanlaishun, Xuanwu District, Beijing; The second is Long Fu Temple Snack Bar in Dongcheng District, which is famous for its halal snacks. Third, Fangshan restaurant in Beihai Park specializes in serving palace-style snacks; The fourth is the snack street in Donghuamen Night Market, which is a popular snack.
Some people compare Beijing snacks to the "living fossils" of the capital for thousands of years; Yi Shu, a famous writer, succinctly summarized the connotation of Beijing snacks with the phrase "snacks are great". There is a lyric that says "ninety-nine snacks in Beijing are not enough to eat." To tell the truth, I have lived in Beijing for more than 40 years, and I haven't tasted all the snacks in Beijing. I still have time to eat slowly.

Beijing quadrangles are regular and typical. Among all kinds of quadrangles, Beijing quadrangles can best represent their main characteristics.
First of all, the central courtyard of Beijing Siheyuan is basically square in plan, but some houses in other areas are not.
For example, the courtyards of quadrangles in Shanxi and Shaanxi are vertical rectangles long from north to south and narrow from east to west, while most quadrangles in Sichuan and other places are horizontal rectangles long from east to west and narrow from north to south.
Secondly, the houses in the east, west, south and north directions of Beijing Siheyuan are independent, and the east and west wing rooms are not connected with the main building and the inverted building itself. Moreover, the main building, wing room, inverted building and other houses are all on the first floor. There is no building, only the veranda at the corner connects these houses.
In this way, Beijing quadrangle has a bird's eye view from the air, just like four small boxes enclosing a courtyard.
In many quadrangles in the south, the surrounding houses are mostly buildings. In the four corners of the courtyard, the houses are connected, and the houses in the east, west, north and south do not exist independently. Therefore, southerners call the courtyard "patio", which shows that the courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River is as small as a well, which inevitably reminds people of the idioms of "frog in the well" and "sitting on a well and watching the sky".
Beijing quadrangle is a veritable quadrangle, spacious and open, with plenty of sunshine and broad vision.
In the feudal society, where the old and the young are in order and the pecking order is different, the housing allocation of Beijing quadrangles is very strict, and the first room of the courtyard with superior location should be occupied by the grandfather and wife of the older generation.
Only one of the three rooms in the North House is open to the outside, which is called the main room. The two rooms on both sides only opened the door to the hall, forming a suite and a bright and dark pattern. The main hall is the place where family members live, entertain relatives or worship ancestors in the New Year, and there are more bedrooms on both sides.
The bedrooms on both sides of the east and west also have the distinction of honour and inferiority. Under polygamy, the east is noble, the first house is occupied, the west is humble, and the wing is occupied.
East-west wing-can open the door alone, or communicate with the main room, generally used as a bedroom or study. The east wing and the west wing are inhabited by the younger generation. There are also bright and dark wings, with a living room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides.
You can also partition a room on the south side to be used as a kitchen or dining room. Back-built houses-quadrangles with medium-sized or above often have back military houses or back Gai Lou, which are mainly for unmarried women or maids.
