Kong Yiji of Hutong Vice Food Shop (1)
Yesterday mentioned the performance of "Shining Red Star" protagonist Pan Dongzi Zhu Xinyun. At that time, their family was not eligible to live in a single-family house, and at least one neighbor lived in the south house. The family opened the south gable and opened a small side food store, which greatly facilitated the surrounding residents to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and it was a holy place with all kinds of flavors in my childhood memories.
At that time, there were no iron fences or roller shutter doors in frontage homes or shops. To cover the doors and windows, you have to rely on the door panels. The door panels rarely use whole pieces, the old man said that it is unlucky, only the coffin board is made of whole material. In fact, it is not affordable.
The door panels are spliced together by several relatively wide wooden strips, generally more than one person wide. The height of the door panel depends on the height of the door and the height of the window. Most of them have nails on the door frame or window frame, and the door panel is hung on it.
In my impression, the shop closes every night, and every morning the door panel is removed and opened is very ritualistic, as if the sesame seeds have opened the door.
Now in Douyin, there is often a state-run food store located near Gulou Street, saying how delicious the 28 sauce there is and how the master of the sauce is skilled, in fact, similar scenes are common in the street and alley of old Beijing when I was a child. It's just that things are scarce and expensive until now.
I don't have a good memory of playing yellow sauce, because it is not only salty, but also a common dish at home. If my parents were busy at work, my brother and I would have to find an onion or cucumber and eat it with a sauce. It's still a bit heart-wrenching to think about now.
But it is also a sauce, and the sesame sauce should be the favorite of all children. Especially mixed with a little white sugar, take a sip with chopsticks, that delicious even if I give me mountain treasures and seafood flavor will not change.
Of course, at that time, all the side dishes were rationed, and every household had a small yellow book the size of a palm, which was changed once a year and occupied by one side of the book every month. Each side is a pre-printed form and text. Each column is marked with a type of food, sesame paste, sesame oil, alkali noodles, etc., including soap. It seems that only yellow sauce and soy sauce are served openly. Probably because Beijing has Liubiju and Tianyuan.
