Tianjin this trip, we took the time to go to Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan is 15 kilometers away from the center of Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, 1 and a half hours from Tianjin is a high-speed rail, busy sneaking this trip to Shanhaiguan, although the time is a bit rushed, but it is still very worth going. Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the east of the Great Wall, and is an important military town in China that chokes the throat of northeast China and north China, and has been a place where soldiers and families must fight since ancient times. But now it is already "the clouds of war are far away, and the glory is still there", so that our descendants continue to think about the grand situation of building the amphibious Great Wall in the Shanhaiguan area.
Enter the ancient city of Shanhaiguan, because it is not the peak tourist season, so the streets are a bit deserted, in the middle of summer and summer, it should be crowded here. Once into the ancient city, the sign on the sign in addition to the places of interest, impressively written "four buns" signboard, it can be seen that this bun in Shanhaiguan is quite famous, of course, I must taste it, and this trip to Shanhaiguan is about 10:30 a.m., more than 2 p.m. to go, basically there is no time to eat dinner, I plan to see what to eat on the road.
Probably in the low season of tourism, many restaurants are closed, some doors can be pushed in, but there are no customers, and I don't know if it is open, so the whole street looks slightly depressed.
There are green onions and cabbage on the street wall for sale, this green onion is so big, much longer than what we sold in the supermarket, the price is asked, but now I can't remember, all in all, cheaper than the south, because my mother who buys vegetables every day said: This green onion is cheap! It is said that the meat filling of the four buns is made of pork and green onions growing on the hillside, is that the kind of green onion?
New varieties of Cabbage, the leaves are green, only sell 1 yuan a pound, the seller also told me, this dish into the pot boiled, soon soft, hot pot can be delicious! I really have the urge to buy and take home, but all the people object to the statement that I have to walk in Tianjin for a day tomorrow, so I won't carry two cabbages to catch a plane, right? So I gave up the idea of buying cabbage.
I walked through a shochu shop again, I wanted to buy two to try, the store door was open, there was neither the owner nor the guest, the sign said that the shochu sale was not a sell, but a whole cage sale, I think or keep the stomach to eat four buns, just give up and did not go in.
Finally, seeing four buns, quaint northern characteristics of the bungalow, two lions standing at the door, we went in to eat some buns, by the way also take a break, after all, with my parents and two old people, from the train station to here has not rested.
Four bun gates to a close-up view, there are still a lot of guests inside, if it is in the high season, there is a long queue, and we are now in, there is no need to queue at all.
The pot dishes and noodle tea I ate in Tianjin in the morning were still not digested in the stomach, I just symbolically ordered buns, millet porridge and a plate of vegetarian dishes, pickles and garlic are free. Bun one yuan a piece, as such a famous local snack, this price is really not expensive, millet porridge is 2 yuan a bowl, vegetarian dishes are 7 yuan a dish, a variety of varieties to choose, I chose celery leaves mixed with peanut rice.
Shijo Bun Shop is a long-established company that opened in 1958 and got its name from the street named "Shijo" in the ancient city of Shanhaiguan. He has won the "Hebei Provincial Cooking Technology Competition", "Hebei Famous Food Gold Award", "Hebei Hebei Ji Cuisine Exhibition Competition", "Hebei Famous Food Golden Tripod Award", the first "Top Ten Famous Foods" in Qinhuangdao, the first "Tourist Famous Food" in Qinhuangdao and other honors. A friend of Shanhaiguan left me a message saying that when I was a child, I could eat four buns like the New Year, which was so delicious!
And now when I taste four buns, the evaluation of it can only be general, the appearance is general, the dough is not necessarily delicate, the meat filling is not surprising, my mother said: Probably you bought just half cold, if this bun is just out of the basket, hot and hot, probably will be a lot of delicious.
Many friends see here, will definitely say that we eat a small amount, I also think, the next few tables of people, buy buns that are one person a large plate, a plate of more than ten, and we in the Jiangnan area of each only taste one, but really only taste one on it feel enough.
2 yuan a bowl of millet porridge, slightly added a little alkali, very thick and smooth, on the side dishes, the taste is very good.
Celery leaves mixed with peanut rice, cold mixed vegetables, with millet porridge just right.
Free pickles and raw garlic, pickles are too salty a little, and raw garlic we southerners are not used to eating, the husband tasted one, said it is too spicy! This meal only cost 13 yuan, and my husband joked: You sent the four of us away with such a little money?
Four buns came out, opposite three dumplings, about three or four were the name of the road, but the door was closed, and it seemed that there was no business.
Here I also have to mention that when we boarded the Shanhaiguan and went to the old dragon head, when we rushed to the train station at two o'clock in the afternoon, we bought a pound of fennel stuffed dumplings at a Fukai dumpling restaurant near the train station, about 30 for 18 yuan a pound, I ordered a pound, and the store said that the four of you were probably not enough to eat, right? I said hurry, we just ordered hunger, just ate four buns. Because the dumplings are freshly boiled, my parents and I first went to the train station, my husband then waited for the dumplings to be cooked and brought, the store carefully divided into four packing boxes for us, my parents because they are southerners, the first time to eat fennel stuffed dumplings, praised, said never ate such delicious dumplings, the skin is soft, the meat filling is large and fragrant, one person a box of 8 large dumplings is enough, and the price is too affordable. The only regret is that we hurriedly ate the dumplings in the fast food box at the train station and got on the high-speed train, I didn't take a picture of them, even my mother blamed me, why didn't you take a picture of this photo?
The last one is the first time I ate Nanguo pear, I think this fruit is really delicious, the name or asked netizens on the Internet to know, rich in Liaoning Anshan, sour and sweet and soft, slightly with a little wine aroma, sold 4 yuan a pound in Shanhaiguan, I bought eight to eat, before getting on the train and bought eight to Take to Tianjin to eat, and then asked in Tianjin the price is actually 14 yuan a pound, which is also too much difference, right? I don't have this fruit in my hometown, but thanks to the convenience of online shopping now, I bought another box when I got home.
