In Fengjie, the silhouette of the Black Mountain surrounds this brightly-lit small county, blowing like an air conditioner to the people who are walking in a hurry. I walked in the street, my legs kept trembling, but after being pulled into a hot pot restaurant by enthusiastic Fengjie friends, my frozen heart gradually warmed and settled down.
A hot pot with the size of a washbasin was stewed on the square table, and the dishes piled high. In front of everyone, there was a sea bowl, which was not as refreshing as the exquisite small dish bowl in the south. What was even more surprising was that it contained half a bowl of seasoning, including coriander, spicy sauce, fermented bean curd, and many others I didn't know. The richness of seasoning was eye-catching. There are two female guests coming. According to their husbands who came early, they are washing their hair. It will take a while. I don't eat haggis very much. I feel uncomfortable when I hear that there are sheep's heads, sheep's feet, sheep's bellies, sheep's intestines, sheep's hearts, sheep's lungs and sheep's livers, and I feel uncomfortable when I think of the smell of mutton in my mouth ..., alas, it's up to the guest, because it's their favorite dish to entertain guests, and it is said that I don't want to leave after eating it. Soon, two female guests came dressed up, and everyone ate enthusiastically when they got to the table. First, scoop a ladle of hot soup into the bowl, stir it with chopsticks, and a fragrant smell rushes to the nose, only to feel the stomach moving and the tongue producing saliva. I took a sip, and it tasted delicious, because I didn't put much hot sauce in it, but it was also light and delicious. As soon as I took a sip, there was a hot air flowing up and down from my stomach, which was so comfortable. Strangely, there was no smell of mutton that made me hate. Enthusiastic host kept adding sheep's feet and tripe to my mouth, which was fat but not greasy. The delicious soup and seasoning made my appetite big. I saw two female guests in Fengjie eating and adding hot sauce, and a bowl of clear soup was suddenly red and oily, and it was hot. They even took off their coats, and a thin layer of fragrant sweat covered their rosy faces.
the words on the table also increased with the happy eating. With the rush of money, everyone has lost the formality of coming here, talking about current politics and life. The boss is rich and the west is poor, and they talk about everything. A quiet lady talked in a pungent tone, saying that although the rich have money, they drive millions of BMWs and sports cars, so do we. They also want to eat this haggis hot pot, and we ordinary people can afford it. What's the big deal? Seeing me burying my head in eating, I proudly asked, not bad, eating this when it is cold will make you feel as if you have a small stove in your stomach, warm as spring, and warm from your hands to your feet. As she spoke, she added dishes from the dustpan, and introduced enthusiastically at the bottom, this is our unique moldy bean dregs. I saw that she poured a plate of bean curd into the hot pot, and suddenly the thick soup was immersed in the honeycomb bean dregs, which became soft and soft like a sponge. When I put a piece into my mouth, there was a faint musty smell. Because of the sheep juice soup, it tasted long and fragrant. I quickly ate several pieces, and the host provoked a smooth and bright wide powder, which made me guess what powder it was. I said it was rice flour, yam powder and mung bean powder, but I didn't guess correctly. It turned out to be water chestnut powder. I really haven't eaten this. It's said to clear fire and relieve dryness. I don't know how much I ate during the joke, but I felt my blood boiling and my abdomen bulging.
The guests and guests were so full that they suggested visiting the night market. Our group walked slowly along the street. At night, Fengjie City turns out to be colorful, with colorful lanterns spouting and spinning. Fengjie girls in the street are fashionable in dress and walk in a hurry. However, men follow closely behind them very gentlely, or carry bags or arm in arm. Compared with tall Fengjie girls, men are very modest and gentle.
It turns out that this is a new county town after the dam impounded water, which is completely different from the previous rural county town, and it really surprises the foreign tourists who have not been here for many years. I appreciate this modern city surrounded by mountains with great interest. In the specialty store, there are all kinds of fashion brands in big cities, most of which are loved by women, such as tea, Aileen, Elena, Iger, brother, famous poet Yuan, and even garment hangers ... There are so many clothes hangers that I wonder which fashionable city is parachuting here when I walk in the busy streets of big cities. A lady who accompanied me shopping was very particular about dress. Her hair was carefully done in the hair shop, rolled into a bun, pinned on a shiny crystal clip, and a short jacket with a narrow waist was decorated with shiny ornaments. The high-heeled boots are covered with small rhinestones, which are very energetic under the bizarre street lights and reveal the charm of women. From time to time, she pointed her eyes at me and asked me what brand a tweed was and how much it cost. I was speechless for a moment, because I never cared about the brand, only bought it when I thought it was suitable. When the price was not high, my eyes could not help but shine with pride. I admire it with trepidation, thinking that the beauty is nothing but a woman of integrity!
When I came to the square, there were many old people with winter coats and hats sitting on a row of stone chairs. Some of them were sitting quietly, as if immersed in memories, while others were talking about their families. It is strange that they are not afraid of the cold, and everyone is very affectionate and crowded together. Unlike other city squares, there are few people who dance fitness dances here. They just sit and enjoy the night view of the city and the people coming and going. These old men with hair of cranes, like a sign, prove that the history here is long, but it seems to have nothing to do with the noise around them. As Zhang Ailing said in "Love in a Fallen City", "They can't keep up with the huqin of life when they sing."
accompanied by enthusiastic people, I bought beef jerky, pickled mustard tuber, fermented bean curd, hot sauce and other specialties, and under their introduction, I bought a lovely big fresh orange at a very favorable price, which was really full of food.
Before I knew it, it was too late to disturb the hospitable Fengjie people, dragging myself tired and satisfied and bidding farewell to Fengjie Night Market. Thus, a fashionable and refreshing Fengjie city entered the dream and could not be waved away for a long time.
