Looking at my hometown from afar, the mountains are far away and high, which makes me feel relaxed and happy.
It is difficult to write about hometown, because it is too familiar, without indifference and objectivity. Because love is deep, full words can't be shaken clean. After the hit of Zhao Lei's "Chengdu", I was somewhat gratified and somewhat helpless. I am glad that Sichuan's popularity is still high, but unfortunately, my friends around me have such a one-sided impression of Sichuan.
If you talk a lot, you should always speak slowly, so that you can speak anywhere you want.
Sichuan style
When it comes to Sichuan, it is inevitable to mention eating.
Chen Xiaoqing, the director of China on the Tip of the Tongue, once told a joke that when he traveled to Sichuan, his friend asked him to recommend a restaurant. He asked his friend: Is there a restaurant five steps from the right? Enter! It is said that my friend wrote an article praising the authentic taste of this restaurant after he came back.
This is the epitome of Sichuan: you can find delicious food in three or five steps, and you can also encounter delicious food by browsing casually.
If you tell your friends in Sichuan that Sichuan food is spicy, you will go to Sichuan to eat boiled beef and hairy cabbage, and you will be blackened by your friends before you finish.
There are many kinds of Sichuan cuisine, including rice noodles, wonton, jiaozi stuffed with meat, camellia oleifera, burning noodles, Ye Er dam, guokui, tofu, cold rice noodles, tofu gouache, bad noodles, fermented grains, steamed cakes and seeds, as well as Bazin, steamed bread and milk cakes in Tibetan areas ... A friend gained ten pounds in his spare time when he went to Sichuan to play. You really can't eat five meals a day.
The delicacy of Sichuan cuisine has something to do with the sharp mouths of Sichuanese. Every Sichuanese has his own dish, even the same dish, and every Sichuanese has his own version. Never discuss "what is authentic Sichuan food" with Sichuanese, even if you argue for three days and nights, you can't get the result. For example, the most common "cooked pork": how wide and thick the meat should be, whether the side dish is garlic sprout, colored pepper or leek, whether to add distiller's grains, whether to use sweet noodle sauce, and what kind of bean paste to use ..... Everyone has his own answer.
Sichuan snacks are small in quantity and varied in variety. I remember the first time I ate hot and sour powder in Beijing, and I was scared to death when I ate a bowl of powder the size of a washbasin. At home, we can have a bowl of noodles, a pot helmet and a maocai as a light meal. That's because you can buy one or two noodles. A pot helmet is as big as a palm, and maocai is just a small bowl. If you want to eat it completely, you can also eat a cold cake or ice powder to relieve boredom.
Every time I hear people say that Sichuan food is spicy, my heart aches. In fact, the tastes of Sichuan cuisine are extremely rich and colorful, including salty and sweet, spicy, salt and pepper, strange taste, sour and spicy, sweet and sour, fish flavor, homely, ginger juice, garlic paste, mustard, red oil, fragrant granules, litchi, douban, sesame sauce and so on. For example, there are many kinds of soup bases for making breakfast rice noodles, such as stewed chicken, kelp, bamboo shoots, peas, fat intestines and beef. When eating noodles, you should use red oil, bean sprouts, mustard tuber, peanut powder, sesame seeds, chopped green onion, coriander, kimchi, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil as seasonings, and add "SAO Zi".

Sichuanese speak like Sichuan food. You must do enough things to be satisfied.
Sichuanese love to talk, that is, chat. People in Beijing also like to chat. The so-called "talking about mountains" should be justified, condescending, far apart and interesting. The so-called "big", the topic should be big and the tone should be big.
Sichuanese chat in different ways. Longmen array, according to legend, comes from the array method created by Xue in Tang Dynasty, which is mysterious and unpredictable. And put it, it means layout. The dragon gate array of Sichuanese, like this array, is full of ups and downs and endless fun. Whether it is news, current affairs or gossip news, we should express it in a vivid and interesting way, just like unfolding a picture scroll, leaving blank space, connecting the past with the future and explaining it. As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water supports one side of the people, while Sichuanese talk, just like the mountains and rivers here, winding around.
Mr. Lin Wenxun's "Chengdu Man" describes the rhetoric of hawkers selling in Chengdu and vividly shows the "mouth strength" of Sichuanese: look at that northern man wandering the streets of Chengdu, riding a bicycle and carrying a basket of Henan steamed buns, all he knows is to stare and shout: "Steamed buns! Shantou! " Hard and dry ... Local vendors selling rat poison along the street sang: "Hey ... waste medicine, waste medicine, and you can't run away if you eat too much. Smell death, lick it, and it will turn into shit. Buy early, buy quickly, so as not to waste the baby in your home. Buy one pack, get one free, and make sure your whole family has a good sleep ... "Walking and shouting, singing and singing, full of rhyme and flavor, ups and downs.
Sichuanese describe a glib person as a drunk. Mouth is his representative, and his whole body is full of mouth, so much can be said!
When Sichuanese speak, they like to decorate the front and back of words, such as black, and we say "dark"; Soft and rotten, we say "sparse rake"; Smelly, we say "smelly".
We also like to use overlapping words, such as praising a person's watery and saying "good boobs"; Describe a sneaky person who says "ghost poke"; Say a person's nerves, say "God speaks"; Call names stupid, such as "rubbing", "stupid", "stupid" and "rubbing eyes". For example, when we describe the house as tidy, we say it is "nice and comfortable".
In short, the taste should be enough.

Beijing calls girls girls, Jiangsu and Zhejiang call girls Nanxi, Guangdong calls girls lonely fifteen, and Tianjin calls girls sisters. In Sichuan, our girls call themselves girls, girls, (Sichuan people can't say their voices! )! It seems that girls in Sichuan are the youngest children in the family and the darling of their parents. Their sisters love their brothers and take care of them. Sichuan sister, just like this name, is bright, lively and glib.
Sichuan sister baby has a sly mouth (note: describing her sharp tongue and lively words), which is fiercer than spicy. She can "rinse hot pot" with a smile. Although it is strong, it is not barbaric and rough at all. It can be sweeter than three kinds of mud (note: a sweet snack including glutinous rice, black beans and sesame seeds is fried with lard and brown sugar until it is muddy). Speaking is a bit insulting and coquettish, and being close to people is not artificial.
Sichuan girls speak with their own plum blossom sounds, which is especially obvious in Chengdu dialect. The plum blossom sound is [? 】 When this sound is pronounced, the mouth is wide open and the corners of the mouth extend to both sides. If you have heard Boss Shady's Sichuan dialect rap "I won't go to work tomorrow", the pronunciation of the word "Ban" is plum blossom, which means infinite coquetry and sounds very delicate. I used to talk to my mother on the phone, and my roommate said that you have a good relationship with your mother and you can be spoiled. I can only cry without tears, I'm not a coquetry, I'm talking normally!
When Sichuan girls speak, they also like to drag the end of sentences or the middle of words, and then add modal particles. The original monotonous words suddenly became interesting. For example, if you step on someone's foot on the bus and someone stares at you, "Ouch ~, it's too crowded ~ wordy, please be quiet ~ Let's all go home ~ Don't be embarrassed ~, don't come out and turn around ~" (this sentence translates into "too crowded?" I want to go back to my home quietly and don't come outside "). Another example is bargaining: "boss, how much is this thing?" "Don't be so rude ~, next door is much cheaper than yours ~ Oh, why not be so safe ~? Then I'll buy the one next door ~ "(translated into Mandarin)" Boss, how much is this thing? " A little cheaper. The store next door is much cheaper than you. Can't it be cheaper? I bought it next door "). The same meaning, plus modal particles, and then take off your eyebrows and shake your eyes, suddenly it is lively and "spicy".
Young girls in Sichuan are full of water and light, and there is little sunshine in Sichuan, which raises the white and delicate skin of Sichuan girls, just like being pinched with glutinous rice balls. Someone in Zhihu asked why Sichuan girls don't get acne when they eat spicy food, and replied: We are born with good skin.
It is such a mysterious confidence and pride.
