<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > love-hate relationship about a snack box</h1>
Who remembers the snack box when I was a child.
The dim sum box is a must-have New Year's goods for the New Year in the north in the past, and it is necessary to carry things in your hand when visiting relatives and friends during the New Year.
At that time, I was still young, wearing my sister's old corduroy pants, and I still ran all over the street with a runny nose, always looking forward to the New Year, always thinking that the days were so long.
I always look forward to the New Year, the new clothes at the New Year are the most solemn, and in my memory, my new clothes for the New Year seem to always be vulgar red, because I can't be the Lord.
Then there are the various pastries in the dim sum box.
On the beam of the north room, a large wooden hook hangs down, on which hangs a small bamboo basket, and the memory of the delicious bamboo basket is still new, as if it happened yesterday.
Inside the bamboo basket was a snack box, and the lid of the box was covered with red or pink decorative paper with auspicious patterns, and then tied horizontally and vertically with paper ropes, and a handle was also played on it.
The scenery of the bamboo basket is only available during the New Year, and the bamboo basket contains a snack box, which is always hung high, and the fragrance of Wu Zi is emitted there.
At a young age, I was very stunning, almost frozen in my childhood.
The bamboo blue hanging really high, just standing under the bamboo basket, the whole person's mind is slightly lazy, obsessively falling into that sweet, it is simply the lover woman in the past years, seduced in the incense of opium.
There is another woman like this, that is, Zhang Ailing, she wrote: When I was a child, I often dreamed of eating cloud cakes, and while eating, the thin cakes became paper, in addition to astringency, I also tasted an embarrassing pity.
After the New Year, all the relatives who walked through it could get a little bit of food
However, I still miss the past, Lu You has a poem: white hair mercilessly invades the old world, and the green lantern tastes like childhood. Childhood memories are the purest and most intimate, and as those memories fall back, with traces of inexplicable melancholy, more like old movies in black and white, there are unforgettable moments whenever they are remembered.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > dim sum box is a memory of the New Year. </h1>
A traditional and exquisite dim sum box is the sweet taste of Chinese.
Old Beijingers love pastries. Watching relatives, meeting friends, and even mentioning marriage and marriage, reconciling disputes, it is inevitable to carry a snack box in your hand.
The dim sum box in old Beijing is very evocative, the dim sum box is about one to two long, the shape is similar to the box containing shoes, the box is made of horse dung paper, and the outside is printed with "Danfeng Chaoyang", "Fulu Shou" and other patterns. After the dim sum is installed, press a big red square paper, the snack box is trapped with a paper rope and how you lift it will not be scattered, and the snack box or snack pack of the big red cover paper makes people look happy.
There is a folk song in old Beijing that says: "Send a snack box to Pu Bao'er, and the relatives are our two families." Pu Bao'er refers to meat and fish wrapped in puddle grass, and on the outside of the dim sum box is affixed with the "red ticket" printed on each house.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Beijingers call pastry shops gluttonous shops. In the earliest days, the dim sum in the dim sum box came from the dumpling shop. </h1>
The term "Rao" began in the Yuan Dynasty, is the Manchu people for a variety of noodles collectively, with the Manchus into the Central Plains, also brought this custom into Guannei, became a variety of snacks in the Beijing area, such as "Saqi horse", "donkey rolling" and so on has become a famous snack. After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, major cities had dumpling shops, making all kinds of dumplings, and the more famous ones were "big eight pieces" and "small eight pieces".
There are also rao rooms in the Qing Palace, and the Qinghui CanonIcal Examples, The Internal Affairs Office 23, rao room backup: "Set up an inner rao room, an outer rao room." Deng Yunxiang's "Customs and Customs, Palace System and Palace Flowers": "Wu Zhendi has a record in the "YangjiZhai Series": The rao room makes all kinds of cake bait, including muffins, five-color fragrant pies, and five-color plum blossom puff pastry. ”
When the most prosperous shop was the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, the shop selling northern pastries was called the North Case, and often hung a wooden sign of "Manchu Han Point". Correspondingly, there are halal vegetarian cases and nanguo shops specializing in southern flavors.
The custom of Beijingers to take a dim sum box as a gift during the New Year has also been fixed since then, and has gradually become a necessary dim sum box for the New Year in the north.
It took hundreds of years to reach its peak, but it only declined in a few decades. In the midst of the storms, the most famous shops of that year turned and retreated into the curtain of history, leaving only nanguopu Daoxiang Village left behind, which became a symbol of Beijing.
It is no wonder that when southerners who are accustomed to eating delicate refreshments today come to Beijing, they will sigh like Zhou Zuoren a hundred years ago: "I have been in Beijing for ten years, and I have never eaten a good snack."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > recipe: date paste</h1>
I don't know the true face of jujube mud, but I haven't encountered it yet.
Jujube paste, which began in the Sui and Tang dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, is one of the famous points in the "Manchu han full table". According to legend, Empress Dowager Cixi was tired of eating the taste of mountains and treasures, so the imperial cooks racked their brains and made the golden jujube in fine detail, from the beginning of washing, soaking, boiling, peeling, pitting, sieving, stir-frying to the finished product, etc. The whole process, each small link did not have the patience, care, and intention to make a date mud cake. After Cixi ate, she was full of praise.
The date paste made of pure jujubes, with a simple jujube fragrance, not mixed with a little peculiar smell, is so charming, no wonder the old people always like to look for it in the jujube paste filling, looking for the authentic taste of their childhood.
