【Wenjun Jing Chat】Drilling the "Daoxiang Village" in the eyes of the Beijing people
As soon as I arrived at the New Year's Eve, I couldn't help but think of Daoxiang Village, the king of Beijing pastries who was "sweet Mososo".
With a few large boxes as gifts: send the elderly, send relatives and friends, see relatives and friends, Tira will leave. As soon as the first year of the new year passed, the whole world was full of the masters of the tiara dim sum box. Even adults and children, crowded with all buses, blocked the main road.
Once upon a time, a dim sum box of "Daoxiang Village", a pocket of various fruits, and a guest who went to anyone's house to drink small wine were quite face-saving.
There are old people and children around the edge, untie the paper rope and open the lid, peach crisp cake honey three knives, choose any one as a snack greeting.
I remember clearly that the dim sum shop in my early years was not just "Daoxiang Village", but "Daoxiangchun" in the Andingmen Gate and Pingli area.
At that time, the "Daoxiangchun" was famous and boss. Far and near tens of miles in all directions, every New Year's Festival is upside down there. The long formation "twitters around", and everyone has patience to bother, etc.
The distribution of nanwei food is the business card of "Daoxiangchun" that can enjoy a good reputation in Beijing.
Xuanwei ham, Sichuan-style sausage, rice wine stuffed rice, sauce and wax products, Su's pastries, white rabbit milk candy, East Sea sea laver, northern Sichuan winter vegetables, dried and fresh seafood, various kinds of altar yellow wine, all kinds of southern pickles. It is almost before the festival, and the southern food of "Daoxiangchun" is even more flavorful and colorful.
The elders in the family are typically pure southerners. Although I live in Beijing all year round, I can't always do without the temptation of the unique taste of the south. Hemp, spicy, pickled, waxed, brewed - after years of cultivation, has become a daily habit.
Buy wine to brew a jar of rice wine, and my mother will brew it early before the Spring Festival. Buying Sichuan northern winter vegetables is a must for eating on weekdays: garnish in wontons, flavor in buns, and protagonists in noodles.
The hottest red pepper, the most hemp big red robe; especially the hottest spicy sausage, the mother will line up to buy a big pot to steam for the New Year.
"Ina Xiang Chun" - my young children, for a long time will not easily dissipate the memory of close family ties related to food.
Later, it was accompanied by loneliness. I left the lively atmosphere of "Daoxiangchun", and "Daoxiangchun" also left the grace of the most popular years. So he was still alive, and indeed he was surviving.
The business locations of "Daoxiang Village" are all over the capital and even other related cities. "Village": Almost became a specific symbol of food in a city, or became an endorsement of "Jingwei'er" pastry.
I have had a lot of dealings with "Daoxiang Village" about Nianguan. The group has purchased many times, including boxes, lanterns, tangyuan, and mooncakes. I have also purchased countless privately. Watching this food "village", it is flourishing step by step.
You can have not eaten Peking duck, you can not drink Beijing bean juice, you can not visit Wangfujing, but if you have not eaten Beijing "Daoxiangcun" dim sum, it is old soil!
In front of my eyes, every time I entered the door of "Daoxiang Village", my face would involve the deep twitching of affection in my soul. Mom and I have been involved in Daoxiang Village for decades.
When I was a child, my mother held my hand; when I was in my prime, I took my mother's hand; when my mother was old, she pushed a wheelchair into the walk.
Walk slowly and look slowly, how many varieties are the favorite of the elderly. Buy whatever you point to. From taking cash to WeChat payment, I want the elderly to love to eat and eat.
Garlic sausage, mud sausage, ham sausage, all kinds of soy products; rice noodle meat, button meat; pickle shredded; rose cake, beef tongue cake, honey cake, date mud cake, black sesame cake, red and white moon cake, sachima, prawn crisp, black hemp crisp, nougat, tangyuan, Lantern, all kinds of baked cakes.... Mom chewed contentedly, and I looked at it with two words: "Happy"!
Every New Year's Festival, I can't see enough snack boxes!
Mom drove the crane west. For more than a year, I have never been to "Daoxiang Village" again. Empty in her hands, my mother's wheelchair also followed a long way...
