I'm sitting at the intersection of Xushimiao Street in Xi 'an, only 5 meters away from Huimin Street, a gourmet street. As soon as I entered the shop, the boss greeted me: "Come on, brother, I'm accompanying my baby to class again! "Old count, good!" "A bowl of two buns, break it yourself!"
in this way, I didn't say a word. two buns and a big bowl were placed on the table, and the table and I were outside the store door, even if I started my big business of breaking buns.
breaking steamed buns is a necessary process for eating beef and mutton in Xi 'an. Many tourists who come to Xi 'an have heard of its name, but they dare not say yes after tasting it. It is because the most important breaking step is missing that the steamed buns cut by the machine lose their soul.
When you enter any steamed bun restaurant in Xi 'an, if the boss doesn't provide you with hand-made buns, just turn around and leave. This restaurant is not authentic. Eating beef, mutton and steamed bread in soup takes one hour, cooking for ten minutes and tasting for ten minutes. The greatest pleasure is to break bread.
I picked up the tray and split it into two parts, which is called chaos divided into two instruments, and then divided into four parts, which is called two instruments giving birth to four images. The two buns are divided into eight pieces, which is called the eight-array diagram. In fact, this is just my own name, to give myself a beautiful start.
In Xi 'an, there are two schools of breaking steamed buns, namely, wheat grains and flies, which are slightly different. I like to break wheat grains with soft food and fly heads with hard food, but there are not many people who can do it now. Who has time to break buns slowly? Maybe it's me today.
Break a grain of wheat today. The first sickle in Shaanxi in Tongguan has been opened, and the summer wheat harvest has begun. Hehe, look at my dress. This is not a summer dress. Long-sleeved trousers plus autumn trousers and autumn clothes, Xi' an's summer starts again 13 times before failure. I hope that the wheat harvest will not be too bad, but how many people care about it? I am a great Chinese, and summer harvest is the foundation of the world.
As the steamed buns, such as wheat grains, fall into the bowl, I take off my glasses and use my 26-degree myopia to close the distance with passers-by. Of course, the mobile phone can't be used. I finally put it down within an hour of breaking bread. I smiled faintly and helplessly.
I remember when I was a child, I went to town with my parents to eat steamed buns. It was definitely a big meal. My parents earned less money when I was young, and I couldn't eat steamed buns several times a year. It was definitely happiness. But I hate breaking buns the most. I smell the smell of other people's buns and watch myself break a small piece of buns. That's greedy. So I wanted to send it to cook if it broke like a fingernail, and my father gave me a good education.
In Xi 'an, it is too big to break buns, and the master of making buns doesn't cook them, for fear of ruining his reputation. When the steamed buns are in place, the master will take a high look. When cooking, the temperature is well controlled, the meat will be selected, and maybe a cigarette will be given to you. This is the rule. You can't mess around. If you want to eat well, do it yourself slowly.
It's only ten minutes' walk to the south from the Xushi Temple to Huimin Street, so many tourists walk in from here. It seems that they have done a raiders' strategy. Originally, this entrance was left to the locals themselves, and people looked at me from time to time, which was a kind of propaganda and an observation for me.
It's time to put away the pen, and the steamed buns are served. With sugar and garlic, the boss makes me barley tea and eats homemade steamed buns, which is happiness. Night in Xi 'an, you turn, I open!
