Bean juice is a unique traditional snack in old Beijing, which has a history of 3 years according to written records. The following is what I brought to you for your appreciation.

: bean juice from Luanhe River

People who grew up on the Luanhe River love fishing, raising birds, catching crickets, and drinking bean juice. Almost everyone in the old Luanhe Street loves to drink bean juice. When one of the people standing chatting in the street mentioned bean juice, others began to suck their mouths. Before eating, they began to brew sour water.

The most famous bean juice is the old Beijing bean juice. Maybe the bean juice of Luanhe River came from Beijing. The bean juice of Luanhe River is no different from that of Beijing. They are all made of mung beans or miscellaneous beans. They are all thick, gray juice that seems to have fallen into the tower ash. The difference is that when Luanhe people drink bean juice, they sometimes add some millet to make porridge. Another thing is that Luanhe people will eat pies when they drink bean juice. Pickles and pies must be filled with leeks, unlike Beijing people who have to eat inby and sugar ears when they drink bean juice. As for pickles, Luanhe people eat shredded pickles with Chili oil, but they can't bear to get two pickles from the pickle jar, and they still eat them with relish if they don't pickle onions with salt water. And the range of pickles that Beijingers eat is wide. Isn't there a "six must live" in Beijing?

there is nothing else to eat pickles for the sake of drinking bean juice.

According to my estimation, after the Manchu entered the customs, the Manchu food culture spread to Luanhe Street in the same way, and Luanhe people learned, inherited and developed, so they got the drink of bean juice.

Zhang Bonian, an old Chinese medicine doctor in ZhangBonian Chinese Medicine Clinic in Luanhe Street, is an outstanding representative of the people who love to drink bean juice in Luanhe Street. From the time I can remember, to "",to learn carpentry as a sideline, to learn Chinese medicine from my father, until I opened a drugstore in the street, and now my son has married a wife.

You see, every day at noon, no matter whether it is cold or hot, windy or rainy, my daughter-in-law always holds the bean juice of a big rice helmet in a plastic bag. There are two pies on the lid of the rice helmet, and there are a small pile of shredded pickles with red Chili oil on them. No matter how many people came to see the doctor, how urgent it was. As soon as the meal arrived, Zhang Bonian made a code to remove the hand of the pulse from the patient's arm, slowly opened the plastic bag, took out the pie and bean juice as usual, and then did not lift his head. No one would let him eat.

Luanhe Street, the place to buy bean juice, is gone now, but how does Zhang Bonian, an old Chinese doctor, eat bean juice every day? Zhang Bonian lives in Luanhe Hotel Village, and the daughter-in-law

of Jiang Laosi, a neighbor, makes a thick, square bean product made of mung beans or miscellaneous beans. Luotuo is also an authentic Luanhe specialty, and the bean juice is a layer of juice that mung beans are ground into powder, fermented and floated on starch. Every time Jiang Laosi's daughter-in-law cooks, she has to leave a pot for Zhang Bonian, so Zhang Bonian can drink bean juice every day.

In the early years, there were two bean juice shops on Luanhe Street, which specialized in bean juice and baked pies, and the business was good. Later, the fast food industry developed rapidly, and the foreign fast food of Laomai McDonald's and Laoken KFC played Chinese fast food in a stagger way. In this era when the swing of the grass fell with the wind, how could the post-8 s, post-9 s and post- s people ignore the beans that were as sour as water, and wanted nothing but color?

Bean juice shops have disappeared in other places near Luanhe River. Die-hard bean juice lovers like Zhang Bonian bought them from vendors in Luotuo. Three yuan a barrel, I mean the price in the past 9 years. Now everything has gone up. I'm afraid I can't buy three yuan.

The bean juice of Luanhe River is quite famous. People from Chengde and Beijing often go to Luanhe River with plastic buckets to buy bean juice, driving big and small, not far from hundreds of miles.

in the past two years, the security situation here was a little tight for a while, and the police set up clips at all intersections in Beijing to check pedestrians. An elder brother in Beijing drove to Luanhe River to buy bean juice. When he went back to the checkpoint, the police at the checkpoint asked the elder brother, "What's in this bucket?" Answer: "bean juice" "then take a sip!" "Raw, can't drink." "You can't drink it. Why did you buy it?"

So my brother was taken to the prison to make it clear. It happened that the man in charge of the prison was an old Chengde, and he loved it. He knew the ropes and was released after a few questions.

Brother met Zhiji at this juncture and was very moved, so he poured out a half-poke for him to show his gratitude. Since then, bean juice has added another story.

A few days ago, I went to see my parents, and it smelled sour when I came in. It turned out that my father was drinking bean juice. When he came to see me, he gave me a bowl. The two of us kicked in and vomited, and a small pot of bean juice quickly bottomed out. My father also ate a head of green garlic, burped after eating it, lay in bed, and turned on the small radio to listen to Dan Tianfang's "Heroes with White Eyebrows".

: Take a break from busy time to drink bean juice

The period from the harvest of wheat to the coming of summer heat is a good time for villagers to take a break from busy time and have fun. Harvest is hard work, but it is also a dream. If the weather is good after the harvest and the farmers' corn is sown, it is time to catch a pinch of fresh green and jump out of the wet ground, greedily sucking a note of gold falling from the sky. The farmer's heart is also green and bright in Jin Shanshan, and grinding, cooking and drinking bean juice is already looking forward to it.

this time, I will go home and stay for more than ten days, waiting for the birth of my little baby. Unconsciously, my steps are much lighter, and my smile is inadvertently in the corner of my eye. My mother-in-law is going to be a grandmother soon, and her joy is beyond words and in the busy and tireless figure of her old man.

Mother-in-law said, "Let's have bean juice for dinner. It's nutritious and refreshing, especially freshly ground!"

My pregnant daughter-in-law and I have a long-lost expectation just like drinking fresh and tender hot bean juice immediately. To tell the truth, I haven't drunk home-made bean juice for a long time, and I've been busy in the city all day, almost forgetting the taste of home-made fresh bean juice. After what my mother-in-law said, my daughter-in-law and I were immediately full of interest!

in the afternoon, my mother-in-law began to soak soybeans, all of which are of high quality, about a catty. None of these soybeans have bug eyes, which were carefully selected by my mother-in-law. Mother-in-law said: "Homemade bean juice must be good soybeans, not eaten by bugs. Otherwise, there will be no fresh taste and enough nutrition. " These golden soybeans begin to swell as soon as they are soaked in warm water-about 5 degrees. The outer layer of skin gradually falls off, while the golden bean particles gradually increase, becoming more and more full and charming. The shell that has just been taken off, transparently suspended in the water, is very beautiful, but it has lost its main heart, just like losing its soul. If these bean coats, which are no longer of much value, are fished out and thrown to poultry, such as chickens and ducklings grabbing them, at this moment, these bean coats are showing off again.

after processing the bean coat, only the beans at the bottom of the potential basin are left. The golden soybeans are neatly arranged at the bottom of the basin, which is more and more bright and bright. The high-quality soybeans with blisters are almost transparent, which makes people itch. However, once the interest comes, I will touch them, and it seems that I am afraid of disturbing their dreams. I am sleepy and laughing, and I am dreaming a sprouting dream alone. I know that soybeans will break through the obstacles and grow green bean sprouts when the temperature is right and the moisture is right. I remember when I was a child, those naughty children who didn't return to the warehouse rushed to sprout in advance in the bean fields or grain drying fields that had just had a light rain, and stood in front of you overnight with a shy smile. These little girls seemed to be waiting for your inspection. If there was a slight breeze, they seemed to greet you in stitches! And every time I am at this time, there will be a kind of inexplicable happiness that has been hidden in my heart for many years, and I will climb to my face unconsciously.

I'm admiring the bean baby's space. My mother-in-law has scrubbed the small stone mill several times. This kind of stone mill is rare now. It is estimated that the whole Yinji Town is a pair. The small stone mill is carved from reddish hard marble, and there is a small stone ditch between the upper and lower grinding pieces for grinding soybeans and flowing soybean juice. This pair of stone mills in my mother-in-law's house has a radius of about eight inches and a single thickness of about three inches. One piece of the small stone mill is buckled on the next piece, and the next piece is fixed on the cement-poured grinding table. There is a deep nest ditch on the grinding table for the ground bean juice to flow out and then flow from the small hole in the nest ditch to the following basin. The upper piece of the small stone mill has a hole for feeding beans, and on the grinding side, there is a handle for human rotation. Matching with the handle, there is also a push rod connected with the handle. Pushing the small stone mill with the push rod can save energy and exercise.

after cleaning the small stone mill, my mother-in-law put in the soaked soybeans. I gently put a push rod around the handle to push the mill, and the small stone mill turned round and round, which made me happy. Rural people call the stone mill "turn", a word "turn", and then I understand the taste. A long, long push rod is sleeved on the handle, and the stone mill will rotate just by gently pushing it. I was quite interested in pushing it, but after a while it was a little hard, and my face was sweaty. The third master stood by me and said to me cheerfully, "I'll turn for a while, and you learn." Third Master's posture of "turning" the stone mill is indeed like "turning". Three yes is over seventy years old, and when he "turns" the stone mill, he looks like he is beating Tai Ji Chuan freely. The third master said, "You should keep an eye on the direction of the pause, and don't stop opposite, because it will be very tiring to start like that;" Stop on your right, and you will save energy when starting.

I did what the third master said, and it was really a lot easier. At this time, milky white bean juice flowed out of the grinding seam, which was very tempting, but at this time the bean juice was still raw and smelled of beans. At this time, although the bean juice is fresh, it is not very pure. If you want to drink pure bean juice, you must filter it with very dense gauze to remove the rough bean dregs. The so-called "removing the coarse and extracting the fine" is the most primitive explanation. After this procedure, bean juice is still not drinkable. The next step is to put it in a pot and boil it. You know, cooking is also a profound knowledge! Pay attention to the temperature. If the fire is too big, it will burn easily; Even if the fire is small, the bean juice will be tasteless if it is cooked for a long time. Medium fire is the best, and the cooked bean juice is neither old nor tender, which is very suitable for tasting and drinking.

when the bean juice is cooked, gently scoop a bowl with a spoon and drink it lightly without sugar. Such a good bean juice is not suitable for drinking, but for tasting. Clear, light, smooth, fresh and new, with all five senses. Among them, clear and transparent, light but not greasy, slippery but not floating, fresh but not stagnant, as new as a bud tip, is seeping into the heart and spleen. If there are these five realms, there will be great happiness. If you put sugar in the bean juice, it will only be greasy; As for adding salt, I don't know until I try it.

some people say that drinking soybean juice is good for physical and mental health. And I think, drinking pure natural soybean juice is clear, light, smooth, fresh and new, and enjoy it; If the desire is hard to fill, then everything is free. The bean juice ended here, and my mother-in-law put out a small amount of hot bean juice for us to drink freely. And the other part, my mother-in-law said to make tofu brain for us, wait!

: bean juice

If you haven't drunk bean juice, you haven't been to Beijing.

I watched the Peking Opera The Story of Bean Juice, namely Hongluan Jubilee, also known as Jinyu Nu, and a man who beat a fickle lover with a stick. I didn't know what bean juice was, but I thought it was bean curd paste.

When I arrived in Beijing, my old classmates in Beijing treated me to roast duck, barbecue and instant-boiled mutton and asked me, "Do you dare to drink bean juice?" I am a "hairy man who doesn't eat dusters, legs who don't eat benches, big meat who doesn't eat dead people, and small meat who doesn't eat flies". What's wrong with drinking bean juice? He took me to a snack bar, asked for two bowls, and warned me, "If you can't drink it, don't drink it. Many people vomited after taking a sip. " I picked up the bowl and finished it in a few mouthfuls. My classmate asked, "How's it going?" I said, "Another bowl."

Bean juice is the leftover of making mung bean vermicelli. Very cheap. In the past, people who sold raw bean juice pushed a wooden bucket with a lid with a cart and strung back streets and hutongs. There is no need to "call the head" to attract customers, nor to call. Because every day, wherever you go, there are always accurate times. At that time, a woman brought a container to buy. With bean juice, you don't have to cook porridge when you eat steamed corn bread this day. This is poor food. Jin Song, the father of Jin Yunu in The Story of Bean Juice, is a flower head, so there is leftover bean juice at home, so you can give Mo Jisheng a bowl.

The seller of cooked bean juice will set up a stall on the street. A copper pot, a pot of bean juice in the pot, boiled with a small fire. You can only use a small fire to boil the bean juice. If the fire is big, the bean juice will "bubble" as soon as it is turned over. There are shredded hot pickles on the bean juice stand-water bumps are cut into shreds and poured with Chili oil, sesame cakes and inby-similar to fried dough sticks, but they are made into circles and crispy. Those who work hard go to the stall and sit down, ask for several sets of baked wheat cakes, inby, two bowls of bean juice, and just a little spicy pickles, which is a meal.

pickles on the bean juice stand are not money. A fellow villager in Baoding sat down, took out two steamed buns and asked, "How much is a bowl of bean juice?" The seller told him, "Where are the pickles?" -"pickles don't cost money." -"Then give me a dish of pickles."

drinking bean juice often will make you addicted. Poor people in Beijing drink bean juice, and some rich people also like it. Mei Lanfang's family once took a pot of bean juice outside every afternoon, the size of the whole family, and each person drank a bowl. What's the smell of bean juice? This is really impossible to say. This thing is fermented by mung beans and has a sour taste. Those who don't like to drink are said to be like swill and sour. The drinker said: other things can't have this taste-sour! It's just like stinky tofu and Qisi. Some people love it and some people don't.

the bean juice sinks to the bottom, and it's hemp tofu. Stir-fried bean curd with sheep tail oil, and add a few green beans that have just sprouted, which is very fragrant. This family fried sesame tofu that day and had to measure an extra bowl of rice when cooking-everyone's appetite was opened.
