The crowd looked for it a thousand hundred degrees, and suddenly looked back, but the delicacy was in their own hands. Love food, love to explore the shop, love to make breakfast after the second child of the 90s mother. Hello everyone, I'm Zhu Zhu. "
If you talk about doll noodles and car noodles, most people in modern times will probably think of a certain brand of instant noodles, or 711 car noodles, but in the eyes of old bacon like me, there is a subtle feeling of nostalgia.
When I was a child, my parents often needed to leave home to work, so I would always stay at home and watch one by one, such as "Sakura", "Diga Ultraman" and other anime needless to say, Jackie Chan Zhou Xingchi's Hong Kong films would get up in the middle of the night to watch, especially obsessed.
When it comes to Hong Kong films, the most familiar to everyone is probably Jacky Cheung's La You emoji in Carmen in Mong Kok, but for me, the story contained in it is an empathetic sense of powerlessness, too depressing.
It was just that when I got up in the middle of the night, my stomach was hungry, so when I saw Brother Wu Fei (played by Jacky Cheung) selling fish eggs and car noodles, I felt that my saliva was about to flow out, and even after the fish egg car was dragged away by the police, there was a feeling of empathy.
That was probably my earliest memory of Hong Kong, with a little rough prosperity and the struggles of little people.
Chezai noodles, also known as doll noodles, were born in such a complicated society. In the 1950s, chezi noodles were born exactly as its name suggests, with illegal itinerant vendors pushing simple wooden carts around. A few points of noodles in the hot water, cooked and paralyzed in the rooster bowl, if it is a rich person can also add a few more fish eggs, pig intestines and the like to support the stomach.
But it's more of a poor stowaway or a poor person who will fill their stomachs with a few mouthfuls of noodles. If you encounter a city manager who comes out to inspect, the boss will not want the bowl, and will push the cart straight away, leaving only the tourists scattered in the place.
Zhou Xingchi gave money to hold the noodles and did not eat a few bites, and the situation of the shop owner "walking ghosts" running away was not a picture created by hilarity, but a real portrayal of Hong Kong in that era.
The Chezai noodles born in such an environment are naturally based on efficiency, and the series of instant noodles of the doll noodles have the name of "cooked in three minutes", and the Chezai noodles can be eaten in bowls in only a few tens of seconds, which is quite popular with people.
Most hong Kong people in that era relied on the chariot noodles of this small cart, and the doll noodles spent the hard years of their lives. Rao is many years later, the "out of the front one" brand snatched its name, but countless Hong Kong people will still eagerly call it doll noodles, and its veteran movie VTB is a tireless promoter doll noodle and car boy noodle picture and name, quite a kind of King's cultural brand.
The local chezai noodles are quite civilian, noodles are not limited to doll noodles, but also have many choices such as pho, udon, rice noodles, etc., and the ingredient list is also rich, fish eggs, pork skin, radish, large intestine and so on. The soup depends on the preparation on the car, if you are lucky, you can choose from the belly juice, curry juice, clear soup, bad luck will be on the sauce soup to eat it.
Now, the management of hygiene and the standard of living are becoming more and more stringent, and such car noodles have gradually disappeared. Chezai noodles have also gradually entered the fixed façade, large restaurants and commissaries, etc., of which 711 is further standardized and modeled, the taste is more refined, the ratio of ingredients is gradually increasing, and the production pays attention to hygiene and style.
The rough noodles that used to hide and run on the street have now entered various high-profile occasions and become elegant and decent, but the only constant is probably the rough taste of the culture and memory, which makes people feel a subtle nostalgia.
