When I came to Confucius Temple Square by bus, people were shaking, and the waterfront pub on Qinhuai River was flashing neon. The four characters "Qinhuai people" lit up the Qinhuai River at night. Lanterns and boats moored by the river are swaying with the waves, and the reflections on both sides of the river are colorful, which reminds me of the grand occasion of "the sound of paddle lights is ten miles long, and the singing girls dance with the waves" in the Ming Dynasty. The purpose of my coming here today is not shopping, but-
Change the change and go to Confucius Temple.
Night finally came, and I made up my mind not to go home until I had enough to eat. No, I shouldn't stay there. I made full preparations, such as changing enough change, starving for a long time, keeping my feet strong, cultivating my mood, and then going to war!
According to my plan and all kinds of food information collected, I will go to a food building first. Since I am on the Qinhuai River, I will go to Qinhuai's family.
I didn't know it was a hotel until I came here. Like it or not, let's talk. I remember the history of Qinhuai River engraved on the wall in the hall. If I remember correctly, it was probably during the Six Dynasties that the Qinhuai River was singing and dancing, so the catering and entertainment industry was more developed, and it was more prosperous in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which has continued to this day and has become an important stronghold of Nanjing catering, especially snacks.
Jiaozi wonton
Under the enthusiastic recommendation of the young lady, I ordered five special snacks at once, which are small and exquisite, and one can be ruined in about one or two, but the price is not bad, hehe. ...
What impressed me the most were jiaozi and Wonton. The taste and packaging are always amazing. Jiaozi is not as big as wonton, but wonton is smaller than dough. It's so delicate and smooth that when I came out, I felt as if I hadn't eaten anything, but my taste reminded me that my desire had just begun.
Black rice bean jelly
Take out the timetable and the names of all kinds of food will appear in front of you. Where should we start first? Not far away, there is a small shop selling "black rice bean jelly". Black rice? What is this thing? You must try. I found no seats when I entered the door.
The first principle of tasting delicious food is patience. Wait, it's half an hour before I sit at the greasy table.
I'm curious about what black rice is. Bang, a bowl of black and thick things flew to me like flying fairy. Is this black rice? Not up to expectations, how dark, how to eat! In order not to waste these two dollars, eat. The first bite, no response; The second bite is ok; The third bite ... yes, in terms of experience, it should be steamed black glutinous rice with fire. It's nothing novel, but why does it taste better as you eat it? Described in eight words, it's tough, fragrant and Q. Then it's bean jelly. I finally know why this shop is called "black rice bean jelly", because everyone who goes in eats bean jelly after eating black rice. A small bowl of bean jelly mixed with salty and spicy sauce is refreshing but not greasy. It's a perfect match.
Duck blood soup
I felt a little depressed when I left the shop. I continued ... I read the main suggestions in my plan. Yes, I haven't eaten duck blood soup yet. The noisy crowd is flowing and noisy, and the air is mixed with hawking and the aroma of various lampblack, floating around. Seeing the signboard of Jinfang duck blood vermicelli soup, I rushed over excitedly, ordered two bowls and added duck liver. Bring it here and quickly press the shutter twice, then the left spoon and the right chopsticks move together.
First, I picked a piece of duck blood and sent it to my mouth. It's so tender and slippery that I can't bear to swallow it. Then I took a sip of soup and let the tip of my tongue wander in the strong taste. Take a closer look at this bowl of soup, the green coriander, the crystal vermicelli, the ups and downs of some small pieces of duck gizzards, duck intestines and duck livers, red and white, and you will be entangled in that indescribable temptation. Jinling people are really handy, so simple things can be done so exquisitely, and all kinds of flavors and customs make people intoxicated and obsessed.
Small dried fragrant beans and spiced beans
Then go forward, see Muslim snacks, squeeze in, and come out with small fragrant dried beans and spiced beans. I went to the square by the river and found a teahouse. I sat by the window by the river drinking tea. When the wind blows in, it feels very cold. When the window is closed, there is only gray-yellow sunshine, a cup of green tea, a plate of melon seeds, some breeze and some idleness. The gurgling river outside the window reflects many past events. In those days, Shili Qinhuai was extremely prosperous and smoky. A night breeze blows, take a deep breath and feel a thrill of the soul. Ha, the physical and mental load is zero, comfortable!
Steamed Bread in the Atmosphere/Xiao Zhao
Regarding the food in Nanjing, my favorite food is not the exquisite snacks in Confucius Temple, the famous salted duck or osmanthus salted duck, hot and sour blood soup, or duck oil biscuits. These are all good, but that's not what I want to say today.
What impressed me the most was the steamed buns in a shop near the pontoon bridge. It is said to be steamed buns, but it is not the same as the steamed buns in Shanghai. First of all, the steamed buns are much bigger, which may also reflect the atmosphere of Nanjing people. Followed by the face that has been sent; Once again, the meat stuffing is red meat with soy sauce, and there is a lot of soup, which is enjoyable. There are also two bowls of Mayday Sanxian noodles in the store, which are really "three fresh": there are egg flowers, shredded pork and chicken hair dishes. The weight of Sanxian noodles is enough to surprise you at its cheapness: only two and a half pieces. Unfortunately, this is the price a few years ago.
I'm afraid to spoil everyone's fun. I went to eat once last year, and I didn't feel as good as before. My friend in Nanjing said that everything from snacks to big ones has always been delicious. How did it taste bad in the end? Maybe our taste has finally become acute?
Eat crispy duck head at the movies/Murray
There is a shop near the presidential palace, and it is also close to the shop on the pontoon bridge. Crispy duck head is delicious, just think about it. The key is cheap. Ten dollars seems to be five dollars. Cut into 10 pieces, and every bone can be eaten. Before going to the movies, I said I wanted to buy something to eat, but my friend said forget it. You should be careful of other people's eyebrows, because they smell so sweet. Do you want to distract the whole venue from watching movies? That's really inhuman!
Half chicken and half egg/emir
There is only one kind of happy egg in Shanghai, and there is also one kind of phoenix egg in the south of the Yangtze River (it is said to be the name of Qianlong), which is something that is half chicken and half egg before hatching. Nanjing is different. This kind of egg is called "king egg" just like Shanghai's, but Shanghai's is spiced soy sauce, and Nanjing's is boiled in salt water, which is almost the same.
There is also a kind of "live beads", which are cooked only after 15 days of incubation. There is a famous one near the shop selling crispy duck heads. It's a pity that I didn't eat it last time. I heard from my friend that this is cooked or a bag of liquid things (maybe this is what live beads mean, but incredibly, they don't solidify when cooked). It's delicious ... this description has increased my desire.
