The day's plan is in breakfast, breakfast is in Wuhan.
Wuhan, by the god of food Cai Lan, as the "breakfast capital".
How amazing is the breakfast culture there?
Today, Chengduan takes everyone to see it together and "spend the clouds early" together.
Consciously prepare a paper towel (wipe your saliva) Oh ~
Wuhan people call eating breakfast "premature" and elevate a breakfast to the same important position as "New Year", "Festival" and "Birthday".
Cai Lan, the god of food, was premature in Wuhan and was deeply impressed, saying:
"Treating breakfast as a grand thing, which is rare nowadays, I like the way people in Wuhan live."
As a result, the importance that Wuhan people attach to breakfast can be seen.
After experiencing the epidemic last year, Wuhan has become the place where everyone wants to see it the most.
In addition to the Yellow Crane Tower and the Yangtze River Bridge, what everyone wants to walk into is the city's fireworks atmosphere and life taste.
At the beginning, many people thought that hot dry noodles were Wuhan, and Wuhan only had hot dry noodles.
But in the past two years, people who have followed Wuhan have found that hot dry noodles are just one of the premature members of Wuhan.
Wuhan, known as the "Thoroughfare of Nine Provinces", integrates the north and the south, undertakes the east and west, and brings together the cuisines of the world in one place.
The formation of the "premature" culture is inseparable from the important geographical location of Wuhan.
Wuhan is located in central China, surrounded by two rivers, nine provinces through the Ququ, in the history of playing an important role in the transportation hub, connecting the east and west of the water transport, radiation of the country's land transport, giving Wuhan a strong wharf cultural color.
Wuhan is composed of three towns: Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang, and Hankou has been a trade-oriented city since the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Every day, a large number of merchant ships gather, and the hundreds of thousands of dock workers hired have to get up early to work, and the physical exertion is very large, so they need more carbs, more protein, more calories, and more hungry food for breakfast.
At the same time, merchants from all over the world have also brought a variety of food cultures, and gradually formed a food culture that eats from north to south in Wuhan and has the characteristics of various cuisines.
Today, the special geographical distribution of the three towns in Wuhan has made people work, study and live in a large distance, and in the modern fast-paced life, the atmosphere of "premature" is even stronger.
Because of the tight time in the morning, Wuhan people have practiced a "unique job":
Standing in front of the store, crouching on the side of the road, resting in the back seat of the car, putting it on the trunk, walking and eating with it in your hands...
Breakfast that can be eaten on the road, no one wants to eat at home, people who are premature in the streets and alleys have also become Wuhan's unique city style paintings, the picture is full of color, vivid and fragrant.
A day in Wuhan, by the sentence "Are you too early?" "On.
What Wuhan people are struggling with is never what to wear tomorrow, but what to eat tomorrow morning.
Because of the breakfast in Wuhan, there are too many choices to choose from, frying, frying, steaming, boiling, frying eighteen skills are all used, to ensure that you do not even eat for 30 days.
Chi Li, a local writer in Wuhan, once took stock of Wuhan's breakfast in the novel:
"Lao Tong Cheng's bean skin, Cai Linji's hot dried noodles, Tan Yanji's dumplings, Tian Hengqi's paste tomic rice noodles, Housheng's assorted tofu brain, Yipin Xiang's yipin big bun, Lao Qianji's beef dried fried bean shreds, Minsheng Canteen's small tangyuan, Wufangzhai's Ma Rong tangyuan, Tongxing's oil aroma, Shunxiangju's heavy oil roasted plum, the people's sweet food juice wine, Fuqinghe's beef rice noodles..."
Hot dry noodles: the king of classics
It is said that the people of Wuhan eat 6 million bowls of hot dried noodles every day, and its status is so high that other members of the premature world are beyond their reach.
The essence of hot dry noodles is the alkali noodles of the elastic tendons, the second is the fragrant sesame paste, the third is the crisp and refreshing capers, supplemented by diced sour and spicy radish, green onions and spicy oil.

As the master pushes the pot and upside down the pot, it slowly emits a fresh fragrance, and finally sprinkles the special brine to dissolve the grease.

In Wuhan dialect, it is "in place, listen to the head!" ”
Noodle Nest: Chinese pasta
Noodle nest is one of the unique specialties of Wuhan, created in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, which can be described as a long history.
There is noodles in the name, but there is no noodles, but it is made by mixing japonica rice, soybeans, etc. into rice milk, adding green onions, salt and other simple seasonings and frying.

Burn plums. In all of China, only Hubei sells roasted plums, which are named because the skin is rolled into a plum blossom and steamed out like a blooming plum blossom.
Add diced meat, diced shiitake mushrooms and diced bamboo shoots to the heavy oil glutinous rice, mix in a generous amount of black peppercorns, salty and soft.

After planting so much grass, the only thing that needs to be pulled is that Hubu Lane and Jiqing Street are all foreign tourists, and Wuhan locals will not go at all.
Delicious premature shops must be around the residential area, pick a family of old shops, or follow the locals in pajamas, basically will not let you down.
A bowl of hot dry noodles kills hundreds of ghosts, and a pot of bean skin is hot for the gods.
According to incomplete statistics, the proportion of Wuhan people going out too early is as high as more than 90%, whether it is a hurried office worker, or a time-critical student party, even the elderly who retire at home like to go out too early.
Hankou's roasted wheat in order to wrap the oil cake can take a ferry to Wuchang in the early morning; Wuchang's for a bowl of beef noodles, regardless of the morning peak, forced to squeeze into Hankou.
There are many cities that value breakfast, but not many cities that have developed breakfast into a unique culture like "premature".
Only the enthusiasm and dedication of the city of Wuhan to breakfast can support the premature word "over".
For Wuhan people, the early morning is not just a city signboard, it is not only a part of life, but also an indelible mark of life.
Some people say that breakfast is the conscience of a city, diners from all over the world come to Wuhan, and their taste buds can be satisfied, from this point of view, Wuhan can be said to be very conscientious.
