The weather is hot and the taste is poor, I don't know what to eat, go back to the old city, right? Looking back at the hometown, it is estimated that it should be able to solve the appetite deviation caused by the weather, in the past, the old city people solved the taste problem in this way.
Old Luoyang people call people like me: "eat mouth essence", diet picky, good to eat enough, Lai's death does not eat, today's children's description is: "foodie", I am also considered "old foodie", it sounds not very elegant, right?
At present, there are four areas in the old city that are the paradise of "foodies", the West Street Lijingmen, the Old Market, the Democracy Street and the night market "Soul" in front of the Octagonal Tower. I don't like many people, or choose a relatively quiet democracy street to shop, here is the closest to my hometown, close your eyes can also say one, two or three,
It should be said: the sauce meat, roast chicken, button bowl here are all well-known old brands, unfortunately, we are old, has been "digestive difficulties" can not eat, want to drink sweat detoxification ball soup, mutton soup seems to not meet my taste standards... A two mouth selling burritos aroused my interest, there is no doubt that he is an authentic old town man, the quality of the bread bun is quite OK, several old city flavors of pickles plus a little seafood is quite good, this is the taste of our grandmother to make ah, come to two parts, survived the addiction ah.
The "fruit oil tea" on the east steps of the road hooked my soul, and the snacks issued along the "Old Lin Family" property are really authentic, and the incense hidden in the taste of the old people is too hooked, regardless of the crowds and noise, come to a bowl.
Fruit oil tea in the old city is called: "shell bubble" oil tea, fruit oil tea is the scientific name of people, we have to be called: "shell bubble", this method of rolling bread buns, two stacks, pulling, cutting into a small square type, but also sprinkle some sesame seeds, hot oil cooking ... The golden bubbles that bulge in an instant, the special temptation, not the old city people, it is difficult for you to say this "shell bubble" sound accurately.
Flour stir-fry incense is an inevitable process, peanuts are not crushed to see the red skin is particularly refined, people do not put sesame sauce, but I still let the little boss add the sauce aroma that has been missing for a long time.... A bowl of belly, the aftertaste is long, this is the taste of the old city, this is the taste of the old city.
The decoration of the small shop is not luxurious, but that authentic flavor can stay in my mind for more than forty years and linger for a long time, is it homesickness? Or is it hard to give up the sense of taste? All of them....
Some people say: Oil tea originated in the south, but we feel that there is a big difference from the taste of our Luoyang, people's natural flavor we also like, but what really stays in our minds is the "shell bubble" oil tea made by grandma and mother, and the "pot oil tea" that the fat grandmother pushes the cart to drink.
"Oil... Tea..." Fat grandma around liang for three days, the sound of the beautiful afterglow still echoes under the Wenfeng Pagoda, a pot of fragrant oil tea drunk for generations, let people remember her poor words, excellent character, craftsmanship of the small traditional pasta... Where she lives and how she makes this delicacy, no one has inquired, but that loud voice mixed with that special taste is still fluttering in our minds....
