Walk the streets
Caoshi Street and North Avenue are close together, one end is the intersection of Xinhua Avenue Wenwu Road, and the other end is the North Gate Bridge. It is a section of road that is very familiar to the old cheng, and it is also a necessary section of road for me to read before.
Caoshi Street, as the name suggests, this street is chengdu in the past to buy and sell hay market, that era did not have Simmons, every household basically used straw mats, but the modern Caoshi Street is gathered a lot of furniture stores and Chengdu's earlier fashion stores.
North Main Street is the main thoroughfare after the traditional North Gate Bridge enters the city. The former North Street was divided into three sections, and because the street was expanded, some sections were demolished, so today's North Street is shorter than in the early years.
Chengdu's famous snack "Guo Tangyuan" started from this area in the early years, and the founder Guo Yongfa sold washed sand dumplings here in 1923, and in the 1940s, he opened a shop on North Avenue. Nowadays, there is a lot of food here, and I think it is also inherited such a gene. (According to Yuan Tingdong's "Chengdu Streets and Alleys")
Coming in from the Stove Temple Street next to the Peace Cinema, there is a huge food court. The Zaojun Temple on The Zaojun Temple On the Street is long gone, but it has also retained this old street that is tens of meters long. On the street, there is the Jinsha Nunnery, which was built in the Qing Dynasty, which is a famous nunnery in the old town of Chengdu.
Next to the "Sanya big meat noodles" a few steps away, the meal time is always queued, the signature big meat noodles, the big meat that melts at the entrance, can't get tired of eating.
At the end of the year, at the intersection of Xinkaisi Street and Yuquan Street, the sausage bacon of the mother-in-law and grandfather of the old community has also been hung out. "Uncle Wang sausage bacon" is at the entrance of the community on the street of Xinkaisi Temple, the sausages are dried in a staggered manner, and the seller looks at which string of Uncle Wang takes the pole and takes it down.
Here, Uncle Wang has been doing it for more than ten years.
The "Tian Po Po Bacon" next to Uncle Wang is also a bacon stall belonging to the level of Internet celebrities. Although the store is not large, but the category is very large, coupled with the fame is not small, so many customers from other places have directly booked a direct courier here in Tian Po.
Every day, she sits next to her stall and lays out her homework with her neighbors, new and old customers.
The opposite door of the net red bacon is the food court just mentioned.
Stilt-foot beef, Wanzhou grilled fish, dry pot stir-fry, hot pot skewers, Sichuan-Chongqing style restaurants, all here. There was a time when I was particularly obsessed with dry pots, dry pot rabbits, palm treasures, fat intestines, chicken wings, shrimp, often changed to eat.

"Legend of the Dry Pot" is popular in this food court, in addition to the dry pot there are also home-cooked dishes, accompanied by a sweet and sour lotus white and tomato omelette soup, appetizing and greasy.

In winter, Chengdu people love to eat mutton soup, but this "Dragon Chef Zheng Fat Lamb Shabu", there are also many diners patronize. Probably because of the northern cuisine, the portion size is also super real, and the key is that it is cheap. Not to mention the freshness of the thing, the taste is also very pure.

"Mouth fragrant chestnut ice powder" should also be open for many years of old shop, this season there are chestnuts and sugar gourds in the store, small in size, but the shell is very thin, peeled off, the taste is sweet and sticky.
It's hot, and it can't be matched this season.
In the old city, there is no shortage of cake shops and bun shops, where there are "Huizhou big bags", "Harbin scones" and "battle flag buns", and every home has its own characteristics.
"Battle Flag Bun" is the mother's favorite, the original when I lived in Gulou Street, every three to five have to buy something back. Just like many grandparents now go to pick up their grandchildren from school, they always have to buy a few when they pass by.

Fresh meat, sprouts, sugar, sesame seeds, I don't know how to eat for many years, good taste with time will always add points. When I was a child, I liked to eat sugar, and my favorite was white sugar sesame seeds, but now that I am older, a fat person is not eligible to eat it again.

"Huizhou big bun" is not the same as the traditional bun in Chengdu, such as the sauce meat bun, the skin is relatively thick, the filling in addition to the meat gaga, there are tofu blocks, the bun pleats are also very good-looking.
Moving forward is the intersection of North East Street and Zhengtongshun Street, and "Ni Douhua", which won the title of "Less Famous Snack" in the 1980s, is still the strength of this street. Bean blossom is a favorite dish of Chengdu people, the essence of bean blossom is in the seasoning, Chengdu people's bean blossom seasoning is very exquisite.
The signatures are bean blossom noodles, bean pollen and chutney bean blossoms. Bean blossom has always retained the family heirloom homemade practice, the noodles are also specially cut noodles, and the oil spicy seeds are also a family heirloom method, which is particularly fragrant. The signature bean blossom noodles are also uncountable for the memories of many Chengdu people. A bowl of bean blossom noodles, plus 1 yuan of cheeks, and then a bowl of bean blossoms, is definitely a senior way to eat.
Diagonally opposite the Second Hospital (formerly the Eighth Hospital), it is the Tan Duck Blood Hot Pot that has been red in half the sky this year. The shop is not big, but the business is very good, and every time you pass by, you see a lot of people. Tang gong duck blood, brine fat intestines, secret lunch meat... These are the signature dishes that many foodies are familiar with and can no longer be familiar with.
On the side of North Avenue there are also two old qualified shops, a hot pot and a skewer. "Bashu Mansion Gate" and "Yuan Ji String Incense" are more than ten or twenty years old brand, although the new products are very fierce now, but as an old brand, the strength is still not to be underestimated.
As the main road between the north and south of the old Chengdu urban area, it has a deep historical heritage, and walking here will always find some memories of the old times.
