Detailed temple fair snacks
Fermented beverage made of ground beans.
Beijing's prestigious traditional snacks. It has the characteristics of gray-green color, thick bean juice and slightly sweet taste.
Bean juice is a unique liquid snack in Beijing in winter and spring. Especially the old Beijingers have a special preference for it. In the past, soybean juice was sold raw and cooked.
Most sellers push wooden bucket carts by hand and sell sesame tofu; Cooked people usually carry a bean juice pot on one shoulder and a bag of soft and hot pickles on the other.
Some people say that bean juice is the food of the old flag bearer. In fact, people who like to drink bean juice are not limited to ethnic groups, and there is no distinction between rich and poor. In the old society, people dressed up beautifully would be laughed at if they sat on a stall and ate enema or goat's milk sausage, but it was not shameful to drink bean juice on the stall.
As usual, the bean juice seller will bring raw bean juice from the powder room and pick it up in the temple to cook it on the spot. There is a long table in front with four large glass covers, one for spicy pickles; One put dried radish; A sesame seed cake with sesame paste, "horseshoe" (this is another form of sesame seed cake, which looks like horseshoe, hence the name. There are two skins of salt and pepper horseshoe and water horseshoe); A "little inby" fried fruit. The case was covered with a white tablecloth and hung with a blue cloth fence. The fence was tied with a pattern cut out of white cloth and marked with the words "X-remember bean juice". In summer, a cloth shed will be set up to keep out the scorching sun. The operator is usually one or two people. Keep shouting to tourists: "Please, where are you!" Hot biscuits and hot fruit, there are seats in it! "
Buckwheat cake with sweet sauce
Scones are small round lumps made of buckwheat flour and elm bark, such as sesame cakes, which are steamed in summer and put on ice. In winter, it is called hot oil cake when it is placed on the stove plate and heated with oil.
In summer, scones are mostly sold with bean jelly, including powder blocks, vermicelli and small fish. They are all immersed in a big wooden basin filled with cold water (the basin is oblate, two feet in diameter and less than half a foot deep).
Just like those who sell enema and bean juice, build a shed and set up a seat. There are seasoning cans on the case: soy sauce, sesame sauce, vinegar, garlic juice, mustard, Chili oil, shredded carrots and so on.
Wait until the customers come to eat, and then put these seasonings temporarily. There are only one or two operators, and they keep calling: "Please give me gluten stew cake and hot and sour bean jelly!" "
sausage
Enema should be filled with minced meat and starch in the large intestine of pigs, steamed, sliced and fried in a pan. For example, Houmenqiao Huaanju and Fuxingju all sell fine products. However, the enema sold at the temple fair is only made of starch and red □, cut into small pieces (that is, powder pieces), fried and branded in a pot with extremely bad soup oil to make it tender, then poured with garlic juice and salt water and dipped in bamboo sticks.
Goat milk sausage
The intestines of sheep are filled with blood, and the grease on the intestines is as white as autumn frost, hence the name "Frosted Intestine". In the past, only raw and exquisite mutton beds were sold, which were filled with sheep brains and spinal cord. After the vendor comes, process and stew. It looks like a little red dumbbell. It's really beautiful. Add sesame sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and coriander when eating. At the temple fair, vendors often use wheelbarrows to sit on the pot by the stove, and there are seasoning cans and bowls and chopsticks beside the pot. Customers can sit, squat or stand on the floor when eating.
Millet, flour and sugar porridge
Beijing traditional snacks. The tea soup is sweet and mellow, with apricot color and delicate taste. In "Du Men Zhu Zhi Ci" in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, there is "a bowl of sweet porridge in the morning, before eating tea and noodles". Old Beijing pays attention to gathering sources outside the front door, and Tianqiao tea soup plum.
Tea soup is fried millet noodles with brown sugar and boiled water. Camellia oleifera is made by frying flour with butter or vegetable oil, adding sugar and washing with boiling water. Tea soup and camellia oleifera have the so-called "eight treasures". In fact, it is to add some fruit materials such as hawthorn strips, green red silk, raisins, walnut pulp and melon seeds to make them sweet and delicious. Many people who run this industry are engaged in lotus root starch.
To run this business, it is generally necessary to set up a big copper tea soup pot to ensure that there is boiling water at any time.
Bean flour cake
Also known as "snowballing usury", it was introduced from rural areas to cities in the early years. This is a sticky cake. Its method is to steam yellow sticky rice noodles, spread them flat, sprinkle with cooked bean flour and brown sugar, and then roll everything up like a screw. Others wrap jiaozi the size of an egg with bean paste or brown sugar, and roll it with fried bean noodles. Put them on small plates, and some of them are poured with "sugar water". He shouted, "Come with bean cake and ask for sugar money!" " It's a roll of candy! Many Hui people who run this kind of business in temple fairs only use a trolley, and the polished copper on the trolley attracts attention and attracts business.
Fried liver
Fried liver is a Beijing snack developed from the folk food "Boiled liver" and "Fried lung" in Song Dynasty. It is made of pig liver, large intestine, garlic and starch. When I first started eating fried liver, I paid attention to sipping around the bowl and asked for steamed buns. Now I am not so particular about eating fried liver. At the temple fair, most of the sheds selling fried liver are engaged in steamed stuffed buns and sesame cakes.
Fried meatballs
This is a meatball fried with bean flour and shredded noodles. There are two ways to eat it. One way is to add clear soup with five spices and boiled in white, and add some fried tofu bubbles, which is called fried meatballs and fried tofu. Put some vinegar, coriander powder and Chili oil when eating. The other is to thicken it with cook the meat's soup and make it into stewed balls. Put some mashed garlic when eating. Because all the people who eat are working people, old Beijing calls this "rickshaw meatballs". The latter, some operate Shandong cauldron cakes.
Processed tofu
Usually, the ground soybean milk is put in a pot, and a proper amount of gypsum is put on it, and it becomes very tender old tofu (like south tofu). Then add sesame sauce, chives, marinated shrimp sauce, Chili oil and other seasonings.
The above-mentioned sellers of fried meatballs and old tofu also bear a lot of burdens, which are affordable and can be put down. When doing business, only one piece of wood is used to build a square umbrella shed.
Pea Cake
Pea yellow is divided into coarse and fine. Imitation meals in Beihai Park and Tang Yilan sell good pea-yellow children. Coarse pea yellow was sold at the temple fair. This is to boil peas into mud in a casserole, add dates, save them into powder balls, buckle them out, cut them into diamond-shaped pieces like cut cakes, and transport them to the temple fair for sale by handcart. Because most of them appear at temple fairs in spring. So people listened to their shouts: "Hey, this jujube is as big as a pea in Huang Er!" " I feel the meaning of the New Year. Because this kind of food is unsanitary, it is forbidden to sell. Now extinct.
Pea yellow, a traditional snack in Beijing, was introduced into the Qing Palace with kidney flowers. When dining in the palace, it is usually packed in exquisite boxes and decorated with golden cakes. Red and yellow. It is said that Cixi likes eating. The street vendors generally add dates and sell them piece by piece. Shouting "pea yellow-big!" Pea yellow is light yellow in color, delicate, cool and sweet, and melts at the entrance. It is a good summer product.

The glutinous rice used for Aiwowo skin has been steamed, and the stuffing is also fried with peach kernel, melon seed kernel, sesame seed kernel and white sugar in advance. After cooking, it can be eaten. Therefore, "Yan Dou Snack Miscellaneous Poems" said: "When white rice enters the steamer, assorted noodles are frustrated. Just like dumplings that don't need to be cooked, Muslims call them Aiwowo. " I also noticed: "Aiwowo, one of the foods sold by the Hui people, uses steamed glutinous rice, wraps various fillings, and rubs it with flour. Different sizes and prices, so you can eat it cold. "
People who sell love nests at temple fairs often sell Yuanxiao and rice cakes. This is Xinzheng gourmet aiwowo. Steamed glutinous rice is rolled into small cakes, wrapped with rock sugar residue, hawthorn cakes, sesame seeds and green plums, rolled into Yuanxiao shapes, and wrapped with glutinous rice flour to prevent sticking together. Generally, there are sugar, sand and jujube paste. In order to distinguish, they are all marked with red dots. People who sell Aiwowo at temple fairs often sell Yuanxiao and rice cakes.
In addition, there are noodle tea, almond tea, glutinous rice porridge, fried cakes, fried sausages, fried eggs and sugar peas with soup. Just a few examples. Most of these varieties, except a few varieties such as goat's milk sausage and coarse pea yellow, have been preserved and can be seen in the new "temple fair" of the Spring Festival in recent years.
