Local famous dishes often represent the taste and decency of a city. On the other hand, street snacks represent the dietary wisdom of ordinary people.

the Millennium ancient town is a century-old tea soup brewed by Datong Lake, a street snack.

Wuhan people hold a bowl of Regan Noodles, Changsha people make a stinky tofu, and Guangzhou people sit down and taste a cage of shrimp dumplings. Tianjin, the capital of Midur, has never been very generous in snacks. Fried cakes, ripe pear crisp, pancake fruit. In the streets and alleys of Jingu, snack vendors from all walks of life competed with each other.

The most striking one is the Longkou copper pot on the tea soup stand. Tea soup is different from ordinary street snacks. From the beginning, it arranged a "sense of ceremony" for itself, so it remained firmly in the food memory of the old Tianjin people.

to find Tianjin, the most authentic tea soup, you must come to Yangliuqing, a Xiqing district with a history of thousands of years, a small town in Tianjin. There are many intangible cultural heritages of Xiqing on this stone road under the plaque of the ancient town of Liuyang Qing. Among them, there is Yangliuqing tea soup that has been circulating for centuries.

Yangliuqing tea soup can be traced back to Xianfeng period of Qing dynasty. At that time, Yangliuqing Town, as a water transport center in the north, was full of businessmen and fireworks. Yangliuqing tea soup is famous for its high-quality material selection and exquisite technology.

Today, the tea soup stalls in Wangji and Yangliuqing still appear in the streets of Liuyangqing ancient town, and the tea soup making technology of Wangji has been passed down to the fourth generation.

Wangji tea soup is mainly made of the most traditional sorghum rice, with rich auxiliary materials, such as candied fruit, raisins, melon seeds, brown sugar and white sugar.

The net weight of this big copper pot itself is more than 3 kilograms, including 4 kilograms of coal and 1 kilograms of water. It is not easy for ordinary people to pour water with a big copper pot. However, Wang Zuoshan, a non-genetic person of Yangliuqing tea soup, seems to be a master who is not only effortless, but also able to control the water flow properly.

As the bowl goes up and down, the tea soup gradually boils, but the water does not overflow. While rushing, the four fingers of the left hand cling to the bottom of the bowl, so that the bottom of the noodle tea in the bowl can be turned over to ensure that the noodle tea in the bowl can be cooked up and down. Finally, add the ingredients and the tea soup is ready. This effort itself is a visual feast.

Of course, Yangliuqing's tea soup can be popular for a hundred years, not only in the hands, but also in the bowl. Tea soup stalls are not uncommon, but why did Yangliuqing's tea soup last for a long time and eventually became a "non-legacy"?

first of all, the most important thing for Yangliuqing tea soup is the selection of materials. Don't underestimate this sorghum powder. Selecting whole sorghum rice, soaking in water, and then crushing and peeling to obtain sorghum kernel. After more than ten times of kneading and fine reed screening, sorghum powder with delicate export feeling can be prepared. Yangliuqing, a small town with a history of thousands of years, actually hides snacks from Africa on the street. In the aspect of ingredients, it is best to choose raisins, melon seeds, brown sugar and white sugar, and then sprinkle with secret sesame salt, so that the brewed tea soup is rich in flavor, smooth and non-sticky.

Day after day, before leaving the booth every morning, Master Wang has to go through such a complicated preparation process. In 214, Yangliuqing Tea Soup was selected into Xiqing Intangible Heritage List. For a mountain master like Wang, what he wants most is to leave the skill of Yangliuqing tea soup in our land of Jingu.

As the year approaches, Yangliuqing, an ancient town, will also have the most lively time. Hot Yangliuqing tea soup will also bring warm meaning to winter tourists. Time flies and people's tastes are constantly changing. But there are always one or two kinds of snacks that can stand the test of time and become a delicious landmark of a city. Yangliuqing tea soup and the iconic Longkou copper pot are destined to take root in the hearts of Tianjin people from generation to generation.
