mutton in soup-this is a snack in Xi' an that people who have never been to Xi' an are very familiar with

In fact, the kung fu of mutton in soup is all about breaking the buns, and the quality of the buns directly determines the final taste. If you don't want to regret the last bowl of bread in soup, then work hard. To tell the truth, it's not so much breaking buns as pinching buns. It must be small. Like the first picture, what I broke out is not qualified enough, but I just have no patience. If it wants to be delicious, it must be at least half as small as mine. Well, it's not that easy to eat good food.

No matter which restaurant you eat, the process is the same:

1. The front desk tells the boss that mutton is still beef (because there are beef steamed buns, but they are not as delicious as mutton), high-quality or ordinary (I don't think it is necessary to be high-quality, just more day lilies than ordinary), and how many steamed buns (two men and one woman are almost enough, and the appetite is large) are needed. Take a seat with your bowl and start slowly "cultivating". When it's ready, take it to the kitchen door and hand it to the master. The master will give you a number plate, just wait for the call. When you are called, the master will bring it. Remember to order sweet and sour garlic and pepper (pepper is not spicy)

This is cold rice noodles with sesame sauce, which is definitely the product of cultural integration. There are many kinds of cold noodles, such as dough, rice skin, rolled dough, etc., with different marinades, and new varieties are derived. And cold rice noodles with sesame sauce, as the name implies, is steamed rice noodles with sesame sauce. As for the taste, different people really have different opinions. Just like all Xi 'an snacks, some people especially like it, while others are particularly unaccustomed to it. For example, the two girls I mentioned before are both from Shenzhen. One of them didn't like all the snacks in Xi 'an, so I wasted them all. The other one tried all the snacks in Huimin Street for two days while clamoring for losing weight.

this thing is called "sweet embryo", which is made from wheat kernels by incomplete fermentation. It has a light bouquet and a sweet taste. Especially suitable for summer heat. This thing is absolutely hard to find, depending on luck. An old woman pushed a car and sold it with a sign "Sweet Embryo", which is usually in Xiyang City.

If you want to eat soup dumplings, I recommend Xiaoliu soup dumplings, especially Xi 'an Faner. There are dozens of chain stores in Xi 'an, and there must be some near your hotel. If you book a hotel, you can use Baidu map to find it. Recommend this, for one thing, it's really better than Jia's steamed stuffed bun in name only, for another, it's cheaper, and for another, you don't have to worry about national customs, which means Xiaoliu baozi stuffed with meat.

meatball soup, according to my own research, is unique to Xi' an, because none of my classmates in Gansu and Xinjiang have heard of it or eaten it. Moreover, this thing is mostly returned to the square, followed by Xi' an city, and it is difficult to find traces when leaving the city. Besides, I had never seen this thing when I was a child. Hu spicy soup was first brought to Xi 'an by Henan people in the most horrible three years in China (you know). After that, there was such a kind of breakfast for Xi 'an people, and so far that version of Hu spicy soup is operated by Henan people. Later, the impression is more than ten years ago. It seems that overnight, Muslim meatballs and hot soup have mushroomed, which is completely different from the Henan version. However, with sufficient vegetables, powerful meatballs and spicy oil, it quickly won the stomach of Xi' an people. Since then, the halal meatball Hu spicy soup has completely exploded the Henan version of Hu spicy soup. It's really necessary to make a big book here, because few raiders mentioned this food, because it appeared too late, and it was only sought after among locals in Xi' an, so it has been relatively low-key. I hope you don't miss it. There are many people selling in Huifang, but there are not many main streets, which further shows that this is a local delicacy. You can find it in Xiyang market. If you want to eat more authentic food, you should dig deeper. Many shops in remote alleys, which look bad and have a bad environment, have outstanding tastes.

preserved beef and mutton has a history of nearly a hundred years in Xi' an, and it is one of the famous snacks in Xi' an. It has exquisite materials, excellent technology, complete auxiliary materials and proper fire power, and the marinated meat is crisp, ruddy, mellow and delicious. The preserved beef and mutton in Xi 'an has become a good gift for friends and relatives. You must buy some when you come to Huimin Street. Don't worry about the preservation problem. Kraft paper packaging will keep fresh for 3 days, and it will keep fresh for longer in winter in northern China. Vacuum packaging can generally keep fresh for about 1 days.

The picture above shows the old boy's preserved mutton in Xi 'an West Street, which is the most famous. According to legend, in 19, Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Xi 'an with Emperor Guangxu, and stopped to smell it. After tasting the old boy's preserved mutton, she was greatly praised. He also appointed Xing Tingwei, the division of Zhao Fuqiao, the minister of the Ministry of War, to write the word "stopping the slope" in calligraphy, and made a plaque to hang at the door. Since then, the old boy's preserved mutton has become famous far and wide. It has been prosperous for nearly a hundred years.

However, I don't think it's necessary for everyone to pursue this brand. If Cixi likes it, you may not like it. I think most of the people in Huimin Street are doing very well, and I haven't eaten any difference, so we can choose which one is pleasing to the eye. The simplest thing is to go to which one there are many people in line.

Mung bean cake

It's not that I advertise, it's that most of the products sold in Huimin Street are from his family, and the pictures are all found online. As a native of Xi 'an, I took pictures of mung bean cake, which is really stupid. It's a little cheaper in Xiyang market. A box of 12 yuan, 12 in six flavors per box. However, I recommend another brand in Xiyang market, which is sold by the local market, with good packaging and much better taste. But I'm sorry for everyone, I really forgot the name. Let's go to Xiyang City and ask the local boss which one is better (except the military), and I will usually tell you. That one looks like a cake shop, which is very formal. The same specifications as the army will sell for 16 boxes.

Steamed pork in Huimin Street in Xi 'an and steamed pork in Hunan cuisine are completely different, not only in different ways, but also in different tastes. Personally, I still like steamed pork in Xi 'an. Although it looks ordinary, it tastes soft, fragrant and slightly numb. Because it is a halal food, of course, it will not choose big fat pig meat like Hunan cuisine (seriously, no matter how fat he is but not greasy, just looking at that piece of meat is basically fat, I feel that I can't eat it). Therefore, foodies who are afraid of gaining weight should never miss the steamed pork in Xi 'an, which is made of beef and mutton. Oh, there is basically no fat. By the way, they still buy it in Xiyang market, which is usually a small shop, as small as a corridor, but it is definitely an authentic snack. Don't judge the "shop" by its appearance!

It's delicious. Naturally, this honey cold zongzi is more delicious than ordinary jujube paste zongzi, but since it is really cold, it is recommended to eat it in summer. If you have a cold stomach or a girl with a "big aunt" when you come to Huimin Street, it is still recommended not to eat.

There are many people selling this in Huimin Street, but the taste and appearance are also mixed. Because they are all mobile stalls, I can't recommend it for you. You have to look at the appearance before buying it. In recent years, the price has risen so fast that it was only one in 1 yuan before going to college, and this year it has risen to one in 3 yuan.

retort pouch

1. This retort pouch is different from the eight-treasure mirror pouch. In Huimin Street, there is only a small intersection in the middle of Xiyang City, and there is a "Southeast Asian retort pouch" selling it. Again, read "jing four tones, gao one".

2. My Guangdong classmates don't like it. They think it's just "glutinous rice+red bean jujube paste", which is nothing special. Therefore, this is a matter of opinion. If you can't accept the rudeness and casualness of Shaanxi people and pursue exquisiteness rather than taste, don't buy it. I don't accept wasting food at all.

Sour Plum Soup and Honey Rock Sugar Pear

Sour Plum Soup in Huimin Street is my favorite. My friend brought three kinds of plastic bottles of Sour Plum Soup back from a tour in Beijing. I don't like any of them, and one bottle tastes like beriberi potion (smells like it). Later, I took her to play in Xi 'an, and she also felt that Xi 'an was better. On the day of visiting Huimin Street, we ate there at noon and at night. As a result, the two of us drank 9 cups of sour plum soup and 2 cups of honey rock candy pears.

In fact, there are many snacks in Huimin Street, such as fried rice with sauerkraut, fried bean jelly, persimmon cakes, pot stickers, mutton and chopped green onion cakes and so on. At that time, let's find out for ourselves, so I won't go into details.
