No soft articles, no pursuit of Internet celebrity stores, only memorable personal experiences with the changing epidemic policies. The traditional Shanghai time-honored meal that I have been thinking about for many days can only be thought of, and the evocative level of fat sausage and hoof flowers is also out of reach.
, not to mention the bowl of seafood noodles on the Hainan Danjia Fish Steak... I had no choice but to go out of Beijing... Nearby, I went to Chenji Braised Small Intestines in Qianporchang Ertiao. I ate here thirty years ago.
, more reliable than the "Menzha Hutong Hundred Years Braised Pork" sold all over the street.

You might as well try Yongning Ancient Town.
Yongning is part of Yanqing District, not far from the Badaling Great Wall. The ancient town has some history, but the main street is lined with renovated buildings.
But it’s still worth a visit because there are other attractions: ——Visit the market.
Different from the bulk goods sold in many wholesale markets in various markets, many of the products in the market here are homemade and sold by local farmers. It is difficult to find them elsewhere. Even if you don't buy them, it is quite interesting to watch the excitement.
——Buy specialty products. Locally produced hawthorns, and farmers’ homemade hawthorn cakes are also good.
Friends in the South probably don’t know what crepe is. It’s actually a kind of rolled-up fried pasta. It’s crunchy and is good as a snack or with wine.
——Take away special delicacies But Yongning is most famous for two things: tofu and fire spoon.
Yongning water is good, Yongning tofu is very famous, and the brine taste is very unique.
There is a village called Liugou not far from Yongning Town. The farmhouse is most famous for its tofu feast. For a fee, you can eat more than a dozen kinds of tofu dishes in unlimited quantities, using Yongning tofu.
Another of the most famous local specialties, probably even few people in Beijing have heard of it, is called... Fire Spoon!
Notice!
It’s a fire ladle, not a fire!
Half-risen dough, knead it into a small bowl, put a piece of dough dipped in oil, salt and pepper, bake it first and then bake it... This is the way to say it, but the locals call the method of making a fire spoon "a fire spoon"
.
After taking it out of the oven, you tear it apart, and there will be a crack in the fire spoon, and there is Chaigoubao smoked pork head inside, and the aroma is heavenly!
Why didn’t I say Chaigoubao bacon?
Because it is not a specialty of Yongning, Yanqing, but a specialty of Chaigoubao Town near Zhangjiakou, but it can be bought in Yanqing. After eating it once, it was amazing, so I bought it again and again.
Carrying a fire ladle and tofu, and those with children buying sugar paintings and riding a sheep-drawn cart, urbanites can also see the world.
