Walk the streets and alleys of Chengdu (6): flowers from the Botanical Garden, bean blossom noodles from Tianhui Town

I heard that the flowers in the botanical garden have bloomed several stubbles, the plum blossoms have withered, and the purple leaves and plums have also blossomed. In The spring of March, the peach and plum fangfei begonias are in full bloom, riding the spring breeze and enjoying the flowers.

It is also strange to say that as a Chengdu native, I actually set foot in the Botanical Garden for the first time. The weather was a bit gloomy, but a group of enchanting "aunts" and "uncles" carrying long guns and short cannons on their shoulders made the gloomy sky bright.

Not far to the left after entering the gate of the botanical garden, there is a purple leaf plum forest, most of the flowers are withered, and the wind of these days has taken the petals away from the branches, allowing them to settle on the lawn, forming a large piece of pink floor mat, which is beautiful.

"Third sister, come on! The begonias above are all open, so look good! Looking for a voice, an aunt was greeting her sisters, and the place where she stood was snow white, pink, and crimson into a sea of flowers, and the ladies dressed in beautiful, or enchanting, or elegant clothes wandered through it, and the laughter made the flowers laugh even more.

"Oh, what should I do?" An aunt was a bit reserved and didn't know how to pose. "Oh, I'm afraid of what! It all looks good. You have to do this and this, and this and this. "Saying that, another aunt came over, and various actions taught the aunt who was a little embarrassed how to pose." Don't worry, wait a minute, I'll help you put on lipstick. "Another attentive aunt." Oh, that's it! How beautiful! Each of us is more delicate than a flower! A few aunts were under the flower tree, laughing loudly, and they didn't feel that the corners of their mouths were also rising. Cough, what's going on today? If in the past, I would only think that they were "noisy", but today I think this is also a very beautiful thing. A few old sisters, traveling together, beautiful together, living freely, happy to lean forward and backward, which cares about the eyes of others?!

Keep walking. After passing by the camellia garden, I suddenly saw a large area of dense white "forest". In a trance, I thought it was Magnolia, and I grabbed the tail of Xin Yihua and hurriedly ran in that direction. Walking into a look, the tall and old trees are dotted with flowers, clusters and clusters, white as snow, lively but not ostentatious: it turned out to be pear blossoms! It is really "a thousand snow plants in the botanical garden, ten miles outside the town." ”

Tianzi Lingxiu, not with the group of pear blossoms in full bloom, beautiful and quiet, elegant and clean, lining other pink and red flowers into vulgar powder. "Bright and quiet as a cage moon, the fragrance and cold did not chase the wind." The peach blossoms shone on the ground, and finally they were laughed red. ”

Under the quiet pear tree, a quiet aunt looks at the scenery through her lens. I looked at her through my lens. At any time, you can enjoy yourself, which is an attitude of life.

"Well, you're in that position!" I think it's very good to see ha! An aunt hurried forward for a while, stopping, her red face full of happy smiles. An uncle carrying a bag, straddling a water cup, half-squatting and seriously taking pictures of his wife.

"Come, see if I'm taking a picture of you?" If it doesn't look good, I'll shoot you again. Under the pear blossom tree, an aunt sang and danced, and her old partner recorded a video for her. After recording, do not forget to let your wife and children "check and accept". The two men's heads were pressed close together, discussing and discussing. The breeze is gentle, and the petals are scattered, like snow-white butterflies lingering around the two.

Su Dongpo has a poetry cloud: "The pear blossoms are pale white and the willows are deep blue, and the flowers are full of flowers when the willows fly." A snow plant in the east fence, life can be seen clearly. "They should have already looked down on the ups and downs of life and understood the true meaning of happiness, right?" Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son: No matter what you do, you have me by your side.

Bid farewell to the ancient trees and pear blossoms and lively them, stroll through the happy forest and the large lawn, listen to the birds chirping, watch the new green germination, and feel the spring.

Tired of shopping, hungry, day back to town to fight tooth festival!

Heaven returns to heaven, taking the meaning of the return of the Son of Heaven. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji traveled from Xi'an to Chengdu to escape the Anshi rebellion, and continued to hurry after Ma Songpo endured the death of Yang Yuhuan, and when the imperial driver just saw the city of Chengdu, the news of the victory of the counter-rebellion came. The 71-year-old Li Longji suddenly had mixed feelings, had no intention of playing, and immediately turned around and returned to the capital, and Tianzi returned to Luang. Tang Xuanzong turned back, and this nameless town where he had only rested on his feet had a name that had not changed for a thousand years.

Most of the stories of Li Jieren's "Backwater Breeze" take place in this small Tianhui town: "Just between Chengdu and Xindu, just twenty miles away, in the guangye of Jintian embroidery, there is a town and city that is neither big nor small. From the dust curtain of the main road, you can see in the distance in the shade of some large black trees, like rocks, a pile of gray-black tile houses; from the beginning to the last, all closely followed, there are no gaps. In the gray and black tile houses, also like the peaks in the sea, high and protruding a few majestic buildings, although only some yellow glass and blue glazed tiles can be seen, but you must guess that this must be the Guandi Temple Fire Temple, or what palace and what view of the hall and stage. This town is a famous Tianhui town outside the north gate of Chengdu. ”

The town of Tianhui described in the book no longer exists. The old street that left countless people nostalgic and full of memories is now torn to pieces, leaving only the red brick houses with broken walls. Bustling crowds wander the slightly dilapidated streets: this is still the "field" that old Chengduers like to "catch up" the most. It was noon, and the stalls on both sides of the street were still bustling. It could just be a few tarpaulin pockets on the ground and a few handfuls of vegetables; it could be a three-wheeled car pulling a cart of fruit; it could be a few poles hanging a few rows of clothes... The sun is roasting, people are lazily bargaining, and life seems to have not changed, but it seems to have changed again.

Fortunately, the old taste of Tianhui is still there. Wooden tables, wooden benches, dim corridors, three or five tables, family management, noisy diners, typical "fly restaurant", full of human fireworks, I like it! The white-noodle pot helmet is freshly roasted, the skin is slightly crisp, the inside is soft and chewy, and it is sandwiched with hot tamales, coriander and green onions, and the slightly spicy beef and the sweetness of the white-noodle pot helmet complement each other. Another bowl of beef offal kelp soup, well, five full.

"Boss, three pot helmets, pack ha!"

"Get! Sister Zhang, you want to cut the bean blossom noodles Wow? ”

"Oh, it is."

When business is good, I have to choose to share the table. "Boss, beef 2 two!" "Boss, don't want sea peppers for three or two." "Howler. The master methodically cooked the noodles, silently remembering the order and the taste of each one. Across from me sat a pair of old couples, watching them wait silently, and from time to time the two of them would laugh. "Two 3 twos over here! That beautiful woman's one 2 two..."The boss ordered methodically. The old two people on the other side ate the noodles, and I looked over to the boss, who saw it and said to me across a few tables: "Beauty, you have to wait for the next pot!" "Well, young boss, good memory. The bean blossom noodles of the heart have finally arrived! Tender bean blossoms, red oil, green onions, beef cheeks, water leaf noodles, crispy soybeans, these foods are mixed together, I want to say, I want 2 beef bean blossoms, not enough! When I huffed and huffed and ate the noodles, the old two on the other side were replaced by an old sister. The landlady greeted: "Sister, you are still 2 two beef, don't want peppercorns less soup Wow?" "Oh, yes!" Well, the family business has been booming for more than 40 years, and there is a reason.

Chengdu's northward reform is in full swing, and this Tianhui Town, which can still catch up, does not know how long it will last. A hundred years ago, Li Jieren's heavenly return was full of fun; a hundred years later, the heavens returned to a slight wave. The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the heavens will eventually be reborn.
