When you go to Beijing to eat and drink, you should consider taking things home. When it comes to Beijing specialties, many people will definitely say to bring roast duck. Today, Bian Xiao has to say something different. Who says Beijing's specialty is only roast duck? Beijing is a big capital, but there are many delicious and portable specialties. Let's see Bian Xiao!

As a foreigner who has lived in Beijing for many years, it is essential to bring some Beijing specialties to his family and friends every New Year. Over time, I have summed up some small experiences and want to share them with you.

First of all, I want to say, don't bring roast duck. Beijing roast duck is delicious only when it is cooked. The plastic packaging you bought is really bad!

Beijing Qiuli ointment

A medicine in the court of Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Qing dynasty that the imperial doctor sent it to the court. Open the cold water, it tastes like My Sweetie, with a faint pear fragrance, because Qiuli itself has the functions of moistening lung, relieving cough, quenching thirst and clearing heart. Qiuli cream is made of other ingredients, and has a good effect on symptoms of excessive internal heat, irritability, cough and dryness-heat. If there is an elderly person or a child coughing at home, Qiuli Cream is the intimate choice!

Recommendation: Old brands such as Xinyuanzhai and Enjitang have secret Qiuli cream for sale.

Beijing crisp sugar

Beijing Shortcake is one of the three largest candies in China (Shanghai Milk Candy, Guangzhou Fruit Candy and Beijing Shortcake), among which Red Shrimp Shortcake is the best. Before liberation, some shops and workshops in Beijing used copper molds engraved with children's shapes to make shortcakes, so Beijingers often called them "children's shortcakes". The characteristics of Beijing red shrimp crisp can be summarized as "crisp, crisp, fragrant and sweet". Children at home must love to eat!

Miyun golden jujube

Eat three dates a day, and you will never get old! Miyun jujube has deep red color, small fruit, thin peel and sweet juice, which can be eaten fresh or dried. Dry jujube pulp is thick and elastic, and jujube stone is very small. Peel off the pulp, you can pull out a lot of golden sugar silk, which, together with Yali pear and walnut, is called Miyun Three Treasures.
