"The face of Qianzhou's pot helmet Qishan, the skin of Qinzhen around Chang'an."
When it comes to Qin Zhen, it seems that there is always a bowl of rice peels. The mipi of Qinzhen is famous far and wide, and no matter where you go, you can always see the mipi shop with the signboard of Qinzhen.
Whether each shop is authentic or not is impossible to verify, but people who have eaten Qinzhen mipi are always full of praise for it, and in the long run, the signboard of Qinzhen mipi is getting louder and louder, and the fame is getting bigger and bigger.
But about Qinzhen, how much do people know... The glorious scenery that was once here is no longer there, and although the prosperity of the past is no longer there, the old street of Qinzhen today is also a different flavor.

The long-established Qinzhen Mipi
Since Qinzhen and Mipi are closely linked, when you come to Qinzhen, you must eat a bowl of the most authentic rice pi without regrets.
What is authenticity? Even if you come to the birthplace of Qinzhen Mipi, you will still feel dazzled, just crossed the Fenghe Bridge, and have not yet entered the old street of Qinzhen, a variety of Mipi shops will come into view, the first one in the bridge, Xue Ji, The Ding family... A full street looks like a mipi shop, the same sign: old brand! Same slogan: Media Promotion!
It turned out that even in the local area of Qinzhen, the mipi shop could be so rolled. Many people are indeed admiring for a bowl of rice peel, but in the matter of eating taste, everyone has their own unique views, and there is no need to deliberately cater to the public and retain their original flavor, that is the most authentic Qinzhen flavor.
On the contrary, the old shops on the street are more like the same works of deliberate marketing.
Today's Qinzhen Mipi has actually achieved a real sense of going out. According to the local old shop in Qinzhen, as long as you want to learn, go to the Baojiao Baohui. As a result, there is also a prosperous scene of rice peel shops blooming everywhere in Qinzhen today.

A bowl of human fireworks
Cross the new street and come to the old street of Qinzhen. The historical features of the old street are relatively well preserved, and many buildings have signs of "general immovable cultural relics" in front of their doors.
The two shops in the old street are also the terminal points for many people to go to Qinzhen. A Lu family, a Xue family, two shops are famous, attracting many people to eat that bowl of rice peel.
Even within the week, the business in the store is still hot, the order needs to be queued, and how long the queue is uncertain, because it is very likely that the person in the front of the line will say: Boss, come to fifteen, take away ~
The rice peel is indeed very fragrant, dipped in chili oil and stirred evenly, it is soft and sticky but elastic, and it is eaten with bean sprouts and green vegetables in a bowl.
Compared with the rice skin, the meat sandwich bun is not satisfactory, ordinary and there is nothing remarkable, after all, it is a good thing to see the store take out a large bag of sealed packaging wholesale electric scones from the refrigerator, so it is okay, there is no expectation or disappointment, just when the ordinary meat sandwich steamed bun with a Sanqin set menu to eat very good.
If you don't want to eat steamed buns, then Qinzhen's sugar cake is really worth a try. It looks very small but the filling is very sufficient, which is not the same as what you usually buy. There are brown sugar, nuts and several different fillings, but on the street and at the end of the street, you will definitely eat two different flavors.
Which one to eat which taste is like opening a blind box, all by luck. It is estimated that the same is true of the rice pi shop in Qinzhen, each store has its own advantages, if the shop that enters randomly happens to be the favorite taste, it is also a kind of luck!

A few life ups and downs
Qin Zhen's trip, more surprising to me than the bowl of rice peel, is the kind of slowing down life.
The shops that open in the old street, like this row of old houses, have been precious for some years. Although I didn't come forward to talk, from the storefront alone, I felt that this was an old shop older than me.
Different from those "old-fashioned mipi shops", these shops do not have those catchy signs, but they still stand here for decades, along with this old street, accepting the polishing of time, witnessing the traces of time, and accompanying generations to grow and grow old.
The owner of the street optical shop is old, gray hair, and also wears a pair of glasses, the store is not large, but it is also carefully displayed. The town is like this, even if there is no traffic, there is still that persistence, usually do not think, but if you need, the small shop has always been.
There is also the master of the watch shop, even if the street is noisy and crowded, he still does not raise his head to concentrate on the work at hand.
I also happened to encounter a barber who retained his traditional skills and was shaving the faces of his guests, and between three strokes and two strokes, a breath of relief was carved from the tip of the knife under his hand.
Of course, there are many shops that do not sell rice peels, but they are closely related to rice peels. There are also pots and pans, special pots and pans for steaming and cold skin, and special utensils. It seems to give people a kind of illusion, as long as the set is complete, I can also make the illusion of Qinzhen Mipi...
In addition to the hot rice peel sugar cake shop, no matter what type of shop, it seems that there is a common feature, that is, slow.
As if they don't have to worry about turnover, the front is the shop, the back is their own yard, all the way over, many shopkeepers do not stay in the store, even the shopkeepers in the store are also leisurely lying on the recliner, fanning the cold fan, sipping new tea ~
I have to sigh that on this old street, everything is so slow and leisurely, there is not much pressure of life, everyone has experienced the ups and downs of the years, comfortable and peaceful.

The west bank of Fengshui still looks at the present dynasty
Qindu Street has a history of more than 1600 years, is the bustling traffic merchants of the past dynasties, the former prosperity is now difficult to see, so that the people of Qinzhen proud of the ninth floor thirteen forts are also the glory of the past.
What the future holds, it is still up to the people of Qinzhen to write it personally. For some reason, for a long time, everyone has been looking forward to this, hoping that this place can be developed into a complete tourist resort, one is to develop the economy, and the other is to protect the monuments.
However, it seems to be deaf to the sounds of the outside world, and it is methodically walking slowly at its own pace. There is no rush, and there is no deliberate attempt to break that tranquility.
In this way, let it "grow freely" and only need to "prune regularly".
If you ask the locals, where is the fun nearby, the enthusiastic uncle will definitely recommend you to Fenghe Ecological Park, and then enthusiastically introduce to you: newly repaired drops, big very, after two or three hours of shopping!
From the proud tone of the uncle, it seems that you can feel the love of the Qinzhen people for the Fenghe River, and the Fenghe River must have heard the stories of the Qinzhen people.
Nowadays, the Feng River next to QinZhen is very different from the past, and the repaired Feng River is full of modern atmosphere, and it is estimated that the enthusiastic uncle cannot find the appearance of the river in his memory here.
On both sides of the river, anglers sit here for a long time. Like Qin Zhen, they were all waiting, waiting for an uncertain future.
