Most people go to the Normal University Night Market for the food, but for me, the Normal University Night Market is not only the food, but also a memory. After all, more than ten years ago, I was one of thousands of students at the Normal University. Never would I have thought that more than ten years later I would still wander around the school from time to time and taste delicious food. Now when I go to the National Normal University Night Market with my wife, I will tell her all the nonsense that happened when I was studying and living here, and I will also tell her about her in the past. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law never cares about the past. After all, I am hers now and do not belong to the "her" I once was.

Actually, I was doing errands near the National Normal University during the day. I passed by the side street (the street where the night market is) and suddenly remembered that I hadn’t been there for more than a year, so I decided to take my wife to go to the night market with me.

Normal University Gas Station? Abandoned

Is the building at the back built on the back? It was an old building when I was in school

This street will be traffic controlled at night? There are stalls on both sides

Big Banyan Tree Internet Cafe? I never went there once when I was in school? But the brothers in the dormitory became VIPs< /p>

On weekends when I was in school, my classmates in the dormitory would meet up to stay at Big Banyan Tree, or they would take their girlfriends out to stay overnight, leaving me alone to look after the house.

The night market is from 17:00 to 22:30? During this time, the road is closed and no motor vehicles are allowed.

In fact, Wenxing Street is not wide? Four cars It would be more compact if cars meet and miss each other

Due to epidemic prevention and control, it is impossible to park in the Normal University courtyard, so I took the car home in the afternoon and took the bus with my wife.

The Normal University Night Market in Harbin? It is already as famous as the Xingshun Night Market in Shenyang

The Normal University Night Market is located on Wenxing Street (Hexing Road-Hexing Xiao11th Road), Nangang District Street section), named after it is a street on the side of the Normal University. In the early years, this place was just for the convenience of students. There were many small vendors selling food and clothing on the street. Over time, it developed into a night market. Later, the government unified planning and set unified opening hours. During the night market, traffic was closed and only pedestrians were allowed to enter and exit

The Normal University gas station used to be bustling with traffic? Now it is abandoned

In the post-epidemic prevention and control era? To enter the Normal University Night Market, you still have to scan a QR code, and you have to scan another QR code to make a reservation to enter.

Does it look like freshly brewed beer? This is the most famous specialty drink in Harbin - kvass, a drink made from fermented bread. It is a bit sour, sweet and has the smell of bread paste. Some people are not used to drinking.

This is Normal University (Jiangnan Campus), the former main campus of Normal University. After the new campus of Normal University was completed around 2002, it mainly consisted of a few colleges, and its popularity was not as popular as before. Before the outbreak, it was safe and economical to park your car in the Normal University courtyard when visiting the National Normal University Night Market. (Illegal walking through the National Normal University Night Market during the night market is an illegal act equivalent to trespassing on a prohibited road, and the car is also illegal. You can't get in, and the surrounding auxiliary streets are quite narrow and can't accommodate the big guys of Dajiu.)

When I was in school, there were three things that made me happiest every month: one was that the school distributed food subsidies to In your meal card, you are as happy as if you are getting paid now. As a college student more than ten years ago, it was quite satisfying to receive a food subsidy of more than 70 yuan a month. The second thing is to buy back the two impurities "Computer Enthusiast" and "Microcomputer" every month when the journal is released. There were no smartphones or 4G back then, so I, a single person, relied on reading computer magazines to pass the time after class. This bookstall is still here after more than ten years. The 200 phone cards, IP phone cards, and IC phone cards in the dormitory back then were also the main products here. Nowadays, with the rapid changes in communication technology, those cards have long become exhibits in the communications museum.

Getting back to the subject, when it comes to night markets in the Northeast, grilled cold noodles are absolutely indispensable, and they are often one of the most crowded ones with the best business. Northeastern people’s love for grilled cold noodles is definitely beyond your imagination. This snack that once flourished in front of a school in a small city in Heilongjiang is now popular all over the country. Even when I went to Tianjin on business last year, the snack street behind the hotel was selling "Authentic Harbin Grilled Cold Noodles"

Garlic sprouts Lamb chops are definitely tempting for a carnivore like me

Water fried belly is also my favorite? It’s just that the portion is too small

Chicken tenders wrapped in pot. The famous dish "Guobao Pork" originating from Harbin is sweet and sour. Guobao Pork originated in Daotaifu, Harbin. It is loved for its sweet, sour and crispy taste, and it once became one of the famous dishes in Northeast China. However, Guobao Pork requires relatively high skills from the chef, and if it is not cooked well, it will be very unpalatable.

Xinjiang’s large skewers of red willow branches? Meat lovers can’t miss it. Fresh mutton is cut and grilled

Spicy skewers? It’s up to people to be thrifty? A combination of meat and vegetables? It’s a pity that I can’t eat anymore

Back to the kvass at the beginning. Eating too much food can cause bloating and indigestion. Kvass, a beverage made from fermented bread, has a very good digestive function. I couldn’t drink the packaged ones, so I ordered a cup of freshly brewed kvass to help digestion.

As mentioned before, motor vehicles are not allowed in and out of the night market during the opening period. Normal University also prohibits off-campus motor vehicles from entering due to the epidemic, and the side streets near the night market are relatively narrow, so driving in Dajiu It was quite inconvenient for this big guy to go, so he ended up taking the car home and taking the bus.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the nightlife in the south has just begun, but it is coming to an end here in the Northeast. After shopping and eating, I take the bus home.
