China is a world-famous gourmet country, and ancient cities with a long history usually have a variety of snacks. This is especially true in Beijing. As an ancient capital with a history of more than 3,000 years, there are countless delicious snacks! See what your wonderful pen can write?

Since we want to write about flavored snacks, we naturally have to write about snacks that are familiar to us, or snacks that we were unfamiliar with but already know the details of. Moreover, we must understand a concept: the so-called "flavor snacks" are not "flavor snacks", nor are they "fast food", nor are they "snacks". You must not write about Peking duck, or about Mr. Tian’s braised pork, or about KFC and McDonald’s shrimp crackers, etc. This will make the teacher angry to death.

Once you’ve chosen a snack, think about how it was made, how it tastes, and why you like it—preferably with a little story. This story is meant to make the article you write more interesting and engaging for the reader.

We still follow the principle of using local materials. Think about what snacks you can come into contact with in life? For example, fried dough sticks, pancakes, spicy soup, etc. If you have come into contact with Muslim food, you can also think about mutton soup, cut cakes, mutton skewers, etc. When it comes to snacks, there are simply too many, but we must choose only one to write about, because writing more will make the article very loose.

After selecting the ingredients, write down on paper what you know about the characteristics of this snack. The reason why I write about the production characteristics instead of the production process is to prevent students from writing every step of the production step by step, which makes the article boring and very verbose. We only need to describe in detail one or several processes that are the most characteristic of the selected snacks.

The next step is to write about the taste of this snack. You can write it in the same way as a dish, from the three aspects of color, smell and taste, and use association and imagination to make the snack you write about alluring and delicious. write it down.

Finally, write about the cultural background of this snack, or write about what this snack means to you. There is no need to write too profoundly - it is completely impossible for a cold skin to contain world peace and prosperity for the motherland - the main thing is to express your love for this snack through your emotional narrative.

If you have not drank bean juice, you have not been to Beijing.

When I was a child, I watched the Peking Opera "Douzhi Ji" (i.e. "Hongluan Jubilee", also known as "Jinyu Slave", a "beating the weak lover"). I didn't know what "Douzhi" was and thought it was tofu. Pulp.

When I arrived in Beijing, my old classmates in Beijing treated me to roast duck, barbecue, and mutton-boiled meat, and asked me: "Do you dare to drink soybean juice?" I am a "hairy person who doesn't eat dusters and has legs." Those who don’t eat benches, those who don’t eat big meat don’t eat dead people, and those who don’t eat small meat don’t eat flies.” What’s not “dare” about drinking bean juice? He took me to a snack bar and ordered two bowls. He warned me: "If you can't drink it, don't drink it. There are many people who vomit after taking one sip." I picked up the bowl and finished it in a few sips. My classmate asked: "How is it?" I said: "Another bowl."

Bean juice is the leftover material for making mung bean vermicelli. Very cheap. In the past, those who sold raw bean juice used a cart to push a covered wooden barrel through the streets and alleys. There is no need to "call the head" (a loudspeaker to attract customers), nor to shout. Because wherever I go every day, I am always on time. At that time, a woman came out to buy some kind of container. With Douzhier, you don’t have to make porridge to eat steamed buns today. This is pauper food. The father of Jin Yunu in "The Story of Douzhi", Jin Song, is a "beggar" (beggar), so if there is leftover douzhier at home, he can give Mo Ji a bowl.

The seller of cooked bean juice has a stall on the street. A copper pot with a pot of bean juice simmering over low heat. You can only use low heat to boil the bean juice. If the heat is too high, the bean juice will be boiled and become "steamy". The Douzhier stall offers shredded spicy pickles - water knots cut into thin strips and poured with chili oil, sesame cakes, and burnt rings - similar to fried dough sticks, but made into circles and crispy. Those who worked hard walked to the stall and sat down. They asked for a few sets of sesame seed rings, two bowls of bean juice, and some spicy pickles, and that was a complete meal.

The pickles at the douzhier stall are not considered expensive. A Baoding fellow sat down, took out two steamed buns, and asked, "How much is a bowl of douzhi?" The douzhi seller told him, "Where are the pickles?" - "Pickles are free." - "Then give me one. "Plate pickles."

Drinking soy juice often will become addictive. The poor people in Beijing drink bean juice, and some wealthy people also like to drink it.

There was a time when Mei Lanfang's family went outside every afternoon to bring a pot of bean juice, and everyone in the family drank a bowl. What does bean juice taste like? This is really impossible to say. This stuff is made from fermented mung beans and has a sour taste. Those who don't like to drink it say it tastes like swill and has a sour smell. Those who love to drink say: Nothing else can taste like this - sour! This is just like stinky tofu and Keiji, some people love them and some don't.

The bean juice sinks to the bottom and is dry and mushy. It is sesame tofu. Stir-fried sesame tofu with sheep tail oil, add a few green beans (freshly sprouted green beans), very fragrant. This restaurant is frying sesame tofu today, and you have to measure a bowl of rice when cooking - everyone's appetite is whetted.
