The first strange: sweet foam is not sweet.
To say Jinan's famous food, sweet foam is unique. But it also makes many people who come to Jinan for the first time a little dizzy. I once had a friend to play. In the morning, I said I would take him to drink sweet foam, but he said he wouldn't eat sweet foam. I can't help laughing. Who would have thought that a porridge called Sweet Foam turned out to be salty, which is definitely a strange thing in Jinan.
The second monster: there is no tea in the tea soup.
It is also a specialty of Jinan. Now there are fewer people selling tea and soup. There are only a few old hotels in Jinan, except the Temple Fair in Qianfo Mountain and so on. Tea soup is fried with millet flour. When ready, add sesame seeds, peanuts, sunflower seeds and walnuts, and add a spoonful of sugar. It tastes sweet and delicious, and is extremely rich in nutrition. I want to lick the bowl after drinking it.
The third monster of tea soup: it is wrong to see four doors in three mountains
There has always been a proverb in old Jinan: three mountains don't see senior officials, and four doors don't fit the throne. "Three Mountains Disappeared" means that there are three mountains in downtown Jinan, which we can't see clearly. Generally, it refers to Lishan Mountain, Tieniu Mountain and Ash Mountain. Mount Li here is not a thousand Buddha mountains, but a big stone, and now it's gone.
When Daming Lake was expanded, Ash Mountain was also hidden under water, and Tieniu Mountain is now in Jinan Confucian Temple. "Four gates are not straight" means that the four gates of Jinan City are not symmetrically distributed. Generally speaking, the east gate and west gate, south gate and north gate of a city are located in a straight line, far apart, or basically opposite.
The fourth monster: east-west longitude and north-south latitude.
In map orientation, "Jing" refers to north and south, and "Latitude" refers to east and west.
Xiang Mo Tang:
Xiangmo Hall is not a small shop, but a roadside stall. Every morning, he will appear in the alley next to Huaxia Bank, carrying a flag of Xiang Mo Tang, and the boss's family lives in the Qingqi factory dormitory inside.
The proprietress is a very clean person, even the stalls are very clean. This is a time-honored brand in Jinan. The stall features some breakfast, fried dough sticks, tea eggs and horseshoe biscuits. Of course, the most important thing is sweet foam. The sweet foam here is very authentic
