The wave is in the ancient city of Xi'an, eating in the ancient city of Xi'an, less does not seem to be perfect. On a trip to Xi'an 35 years ago, I ate a powder soup of sheep's blood at the South Courtyard Gate. Decades have passed, and I always remember it and relish it. At that time, an old bowl of flour soup sheep blood 4 cents, plus two cakes, the soup is fragrant, eating is really addictive.
After that, whenever you have the opportunity to go to Xi'an, you must eat a bowl. After retirement, he often lived in Xi'an, and he had to eat once every three to five. However, for decades, from Xiguan to Dongguan, from the southern suburbs to the northern suburbs, from Muslim Street to Bailuyuan, eating and eating, eating many places, but never eating the taste of the first time 35 years ago. Some friends said that time has changed, do not blame people's powder soup sheep blood is not authentic, only blame is your taste is high, but also told a "pearl emerald white jade soup" story to me. If you think about it, maybe that's the point. As the saying goes, "if you are hungry, you will eat chaff and you will not be hungry and meat will not be fragrant."
Speaking of powder soup and sheep blood, it is actually one of the many flavor snacks in the ancient city of Xi'an, which is a very simple home-cooked meal. It is not complicated to do, cut the boiled sheep's blood into strips, with a few pieces of tofu slices, grab a pinch of vermicelli, pour a thick soup made of lamb and lamb bones, and then add spicy oil, spices, coriander, garlic seedlings, etc., full of flavor and appetite. When eating, pay attention to a bite of baked bread and a mouthful of soup, and must not be soaked in the bowl to eat, that is a perfect match. If you soak the burnt cake in soup and eat it, you are not from Xi'an at first glance.
One day in early winter, the weather was quiet, and I suddenly wanted to visit the park around the city. So from the west gate to the light gate, and then to the small south gate.
I was tired at noon, and my stomach was a little hungry, and I wanted to eat powder soup and sheep's blood. I really wanted to come to what, when I looked up, I saw that there were several small restaurants in the streets and alleys of Bao'en Temple at the root of the city wall, and the business was flat. Only one family has a small façade, but people come in and out, so they are lively. Take a closer look, selling powder soup sheep blood, as well as spicy garlic sheep blood and so on. There were four or five small tables in the store, and the diners were full, and small tables and stools were temporarily placed outside the door, which were still full. Although I have never eaten authentic mutton blood vermicelli soup in recent years, I have different advantages and taste. So he was overjoyed, and immediately asked for a bowl, plus two pieces of bread. After standing and waiting for a while, there was an empty seat to sit down, and the soup was also served, steaming hot and fragrant.
After only one bite, I suddenly felt that the taste was different, it seemed familiar, and I suddenly remembered that it tasted exactly the same as the one I ate 35 years ago. So I was quite surprised, three times five divided by two to eat a fine light, a full burp, lips and teeth left fragrant. Suddenly, I realized that what time had changed, what tastes had changed, and the story of the "pearl emerald white jade soup", which was not the case at all. It turned out that this authentic powder soup sheep blood had never disappeared in the ancient city of Xi'an, but it was hidden in the back streets and alleys under the roots of the city wall, so many years, it was easy to find! If it is really "the crowd looks for it a thousand hundred degrees, suddenly looking back but in the middle of the lights"! So I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
While sighing, I suddenly understood that these years are not high taste, but I have not eaten the most authentic. Nowadays, although the blood of the sheep in the powder soup can be found everywhere in the ancient city of Xi'an, it seems that it is not easy to eat the taste of authentic tradition. Think about it again, in addition to powder soup and sheep blood, Xi'an snacks are numerous, I am afraid there are no less than a hundred kinds. Especially in tourist attractions, how many are from Zhengyuan? Traveling in Xi'an, eating in Xi'an, how many tourists can eat authentic? In this regard, foreign tourists will not know in any way, and Xi'an people know, especially the old Xi'an people know best.
