? Do you know a village called "Grandma's House in Shanghai"? That village is actually in Jiading, Shanghai! That village also has the reputation of "Huating family". That place is Maoqiao Village.
? I still remember a while ago, there was a micro-movie that showed you homesickness. One of the reasons for the development of Maoqiao Village is to create a homesick atmosphere < P >? Maoqiao village shows this homesickness by showing the old ways people used to work. That is the Maoqiao Workshop. If you want to reach Maoqiao Workshop, you only need to find a Sijun farmhouse restaurant after entering the gate of Maoqiao Village. (Sijun farmhouse restaurant is run by relatives. If you are not familiar with the route, you can ask the owner for directions.) Go straight along the left side of that restaurant and you will find Maoqiao Workshop. Maoqiao Workshop is divided into rice mill, flour mill, oil mill, wine mill, distillery, garlic mill, tofu mill and craft mill. Among them, the distillery is the one I visited the most. The big plaque of the distillery is on the side of the road. The distillery is just a small wooden house, but it has an antique feeling. As soon as you enter the house, you can see the counter and the small freezer next to it. Every time I go, I must buy the wine-brewed millet in the freezer and have a bite. The millet is soft, and the taste of wine and sweetness blend together, giving people a feeling of ice and enjoyment. If you are tired and want to have a rest in the distillery, you must have some wine dumplings. The wine dumplings there are very fresh. Take a bite, and the warm feeling will go straight into your heart, and the slight sweetness will hover in your mouth, which really makes people want to stop! The garlic shop is my grandmother's frequent place. She often goes there to buy a jar of soy sauce to brew garlic, which is something my grandfather likes to eat. They also try to make it by themselves. I think, if I buy a cylinder back, what a sentimental thing it is!
? There is also a place with great homesickness, which has also aroused my "sorrow". This place is a century-old house in Maoqiao Village. The century-old house has a long history, just opposite my country house. I remember when I was a child, I often went to that century-old house. There was a fierce dog in the century-old house, which barked at everyone. Every time I saw the dog, I was too scared to go in. At this time, the grandmother in the century-old house will stand up slowly and leisurely from the rocking chair in her yard, walk towards me, and accompany me in. There are still books here. Every time I go in, I will pick a few old books and read them, shaking my head and reading them in a confused way, pretending that I am a cultural person. Sometimes, the old woman sits in her rocking chair, fanning her fan, smiling at me and reading. Her smile and wrinkles on her face show me the happiness in her eyes, and a sense of happiness emerges in my heart. But then, I didn't go back often. When I went back this time, I did play a lot of interesting things, but my childhood grandmother, the fierce dog, could no longer be found. I could only see the small bamboo doorway and the dense trees around my century-old house. "Homesickness" suddenly came to my mind, and there was still a bitter feeling in my heart. When I thought about it, I felt a little sad unconsciously.
? After talking about the homesickness of Maoqiao village, of course, we should also talk about the simple folk customs and the gathered food characteristics.
? The folk customs of Maoqiao Village are the clearest in my mind. Their lives are neither leisurely nor busy. My grandmother is also like this. She often wears a straw hat to the fields to get rid of weeds and see how the vegetables she grows are. At the edge of the field, there is a wide river. She keeps many ducks in Okawabe. Every duck is fattened by her. Yesterday, I just brought back a duck my grandmother gave me to cook soup. The soup is very fresh. As soon as it enters my mouth, there is a warm feeling echoing in my mouth and heart. It's really delicious on the tip of your tongue. In her spare time, grandma will invite friends to play outside and play cards and mahjong in the hall at home. If tourists come to ask for directions, grandma will take pains to show him the way. The lives of many villagers in Maoqiao Village are as simple as grandma's, and they can attract many people, can't they?
? There are also several places to play in Maoqiao Village, and that is the grass opposite the workshop! On the grass, there are several paths with colorful lights beside them. These paths can lead people to a cafe "Maoqiao Cat's Home" and a Maoqiao stage. The big stage will hold activities from time to time, and there will be a grand concert in July this year, which is also the first show of the Maoqiao big stage! That night, the audience on the stage was so crowded that even the existing seats were not enough. The splendid lights on the stage lit up our eyes and also reflected the success of the development of Maoqiao Village. The link of answering questions and giving gifts in the program not only reflects everyone's enthusiasm, but also reflects everyone's familiarity with the old craft. The laughter and applause in the audience broke the silence around, and the passion brought by this stage was obvious! Maoqiaomao's home can provide you with drinks, and you can rest there. There are also items such as message boards and sand paintings, which can completely relax people. Moreover, the seats and interiors in the cafe are very delicate, and maybe once you go in, you won't want to leave.
? Just kidding, eating is the part that everyone expects most. This snack market gathers delicious food from all directions in China, among which the most unforgettable thing is the Begonia Cake there! A Ling's grandmother, who makes crab cakes there, is also a villager in Maoqiao Village. I have known her since I was very young. Her craft was also handed down to her by her mother. She cooked this crab-apple cake from small to large, and she knew every step by heart. The crab-apple cake she made was crispy and sweet on the outside, and had a charming burnt smell. The inside was white and chewy, biting into the center of the cake and overflowing with bean paste. After eating it, it was always full of fragrance. I was not tired of eating it for several days! In addition to the most impressive Haitang cake, there are Shaanxi bean jelly, Fuzhou meat swallow, Xi 'an biangbiang noodles, Hainan coconut jelly, Huating Four Treasures and other delicacies. It seems that as long as you eat all this market, you will eat all of China. How attractive it is!
? Although Maoqiao attracts many tourists through development, its own history and charm are also attractive enough. I will definitely remember this place: Maoqiao, my grandmother's home in Shanghai.
