"Four Nine Cities" snack city is located in He Shili Tianqiao Market. There are not only many kinds of snacks here, but also the furnishings inside are built according to the appearance of the old Beijing teahouse. There is a big stage inside, with all kinds of special snacks on both sides. There are more than ten tables and benches under the stage, and tourists can watch the wonderful performances on the stage while eating snacks. Grandma ordered me some bean juice, beef stuffing, doornail patties and tripe ... "A table full of Beijing snacks soon made my mouth water. Old Beijingers said, "Take a sip of bean juice, eat crispy skin and eat pickles. It's really delicious. " Look at the bean juice in the bowl. It's different from the bean juice we usually drink. The color of the bean juice we usually drink is milky white, but the bean juice here is grayish white, which can smell sour from a distance. My uncle took a sip and said, "It's delicious." I took a drink with a grain of salt and couldn't help being curious. It tastes sour, sweet and smelly. It tastes terrible and I will never forget it.
After drinking the bean juice, I tasted the doornail patties. This doornail meat pie is said to be a favorite snack of Empress Dowager Cixi. It is made of fresh pork and fresh onion. The method is simple. First, take pork and shallots as fillings, wrap them in flour, and fry them on both sides until golden brown. Because it is about the same size as the doornail on the city gate, it is named "doornail patties". I took a bite and the soup came out immediately. It tastes salty and fresh, and the meat stuffing is very chewy. Then I tasted fried belly, braised pork, fried liver and other delicacies. My mouth is full of oil and my stomach is full.
