Casserole fish, casserole rice, casserole rice noodles, casserole noodles, all kinds of casserole delicacies satisfy the taste buds of diners from all over the country. Walking into the various hotels and restaurants in Yingze District, the delicious food with casserole as the carrier is always evocative and warm.
Walking through the streets, through the glass windows, you can see people sitting by the windows one by one, and you can see at a glance that this is a thriving restaurant. The diners by the window are leisurely tasting the delicious appearance, which can't help but make people curious, and when they look up, it turns out to be a casserole house. Winter, casserole, perfect match!
"The casserole in this store has the most homely taste, don't believe you try it......" Walking into the store, the customers behind them are enthusiastically recommending the food in the store to their friends. If you want to sit down and eat, you need to wait in line. There are young couples, friends who accompany each other, white-haired couples, and families with their old and young. The lively scene seems to be a silent proof that the casserole not only makes the south and the north reach a delicious consensus, but also captures the taste buds of men, women and children with its simple and mellow taste.
Casserole stew, casserole tomato tofu, casserole mutton...... Choose your favorite dish from a wide range of dishes and wait for it to be served. A steaming casserole was served, and there was soup and vegetables in the small black casserole, and judging from the appearance alone, I didn't think there was anything special.
Take a sip, fresh and fragrant enough, without the slightest greasy, which is particularly light compared with foods with rich ingredients and heavy ingredients. Drink a mouthful of soup, eat a mouthful of vegetables, do not hurry to lift chopsticks, drop the spoon, the more you eat, the more fragrant you eat, the more comfortable you eat, and you don't feel salty when you reach the bottom of a pot. The effort of a meal leaves the cold of winter behind, and the warmth is transmitted to the whole body, clearly feeling the comfort of winter. Come to think of it, this is one of the reasons why casseroles always attract people to come and try them.
The casserole is both a tableware and a cookware, and the characteristics of uniform heat transfer and slow heat dissipation make it always show excellent heat storage and freshness locking function on the table, and many restaurants take advantage of this advantage to make the taste of food more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
When you come to Zhonglou Street, you can walk into a casserole shop, the red lanterns on the roof complement the warm yellow lights and classical decoration in the store, and the characteristic decoration with folk flavor is very eye-catching, but to gain a firm foothold in the rivers and lakes where Zhonglou Street is full of food, it is obviously not enough to rely on decoration alone.
Dishes served in casseroles are served in turn, and some of them cannot be uncovered, so they need to continue to simmer under the pot with an alcohol lamp lit for a while. At each meal, the restaurant is full of diners, there are large and small tables arranged in an orderly manner, the large number of people sit around one large table, and the few people face each other, sitting on both sides of the small table, and it may be less than an arm's length away from the other table. The delicious food in the pot gradually bubbled in the beating of the flames, and the sound of conversation was heard all around, just like the scene in a casserole, lively but not noisy.
Pick up a chicken claw and take a bite, the chicken claw that was still intact immediately became soft and glutinous, almost separated from the bone by the wayside, just waiting to be chewed. Mellow and soft beef, fried eggs soaked in soup, tender and flavorful bean curd...... All the food is like a casserole, showing a solid and long taste, satisfying different taste sensations. Bowls of steaming casserole dishes reflect the most simple and thick fireworks in the world, constantly narrowing the distance between people.
The New Year is approaching, and for many people, the memory of the New Year's flavor is also in a casserole. Sliced pork, frozen tofu, croquettes, fried potatoes, cabbage, vermicelli...... Spread the ingredients in a casserole in a circular circle, pour the soup on top, cover the lid, light the fire and simmer slowly. When relatives and friends sit around and the atmosphere is warm, the food is also good. As soon as the lid was lifted, the steaming heat enveloped the thick fragrance, and it couldn't wait to overflow from all around. The flushed face showed a smile in the white mist-like vapor, sitting around and eating a casserole, the heart seemed to be closer, and the warm feeling spread to the body and heart.
In winter, sitting at the same table, savoring the delicious food in the casserole, chatting about all the things that happen in life, in such a "slow pace", injecting warm power into life, and using food to keep some warm memories for this winter.
