There is a pedestrian street in Lanzhou is Zhangye Road, next to a small street called Dazhong Lane, the alley is a special snack, classic dishes. Among them: gentle and lovely gray beans.
Literally, ash, is talking about puffy ash. An edible alkali extracted from a plant unique to the Lanzhou region. Beans are peas. Pea soup with edible alkali added. Alkali is to make the beans soft, so that there is an indescribable aroma in the soup, not sweet but not bitter, a taste between the two, with the bean sand, as well as the jujube fragrance together, the beans did not completely become bean paste, that is too boring, it will have a slightly harder chewy feeling, sweet bean fragrance, it comes from this.
The ancient method is to sit on a coal stove with a thick casserole pot, the pot is always grunting with black and purple rotten porridge, and scooping a spoonful of paste dun dun dun in a coarse sand bowl, thick and dense gray beans. Standing or squatting to drink, the temperature of the gray bean will not burn the mouth, it is warm, just the temperature that the mouth can accept, can not be hot or cold. In the past, wives who had watched the play and played cards would call for a supper or a snack, which must be the gray beans on the stall on the street corner with a dim kerosene lamp.
