I love to read and write books from my childhood.
A Beijing writer wrote that he went to the maternity hospital to find his mother (because it was the third child), and the hospital should have been changed by which ancient royal palace, one into the courtyard and one into the courtyard.
I found the nurse, who told her to go straight north, bed 21.
The writer asked: Which direction is north?
The nurse said: You Beijing people don't know which side is the north?
"I came in and got dizzy."
The nurse pointed it out to her while laughing and shouting around, "This girl can't find the north." ”
The image of the nurse in this passage, the hospital reformed by the royal palace, and the obsession with direction are all in Beijing.
Dumplings are of course the eternal theme of food in the childhood memories of northern children, especially the dumplings stuffed with leeks, and a friend who hates leeks likes summer very much, because spring leeks are the best, "night rain cut spring leeks, new cooking room yellow sorghum", the family always changes the law to do.
But when it came to Futian, she finally stopped eating, and Grandma said that the leeks stink when they arrived in Futian. So I changed it to cucumber, patted cucumber, cucumber dipped sauce, pickled cucumber, cucumber shredded and cut down in the fried sauce noodles.
Children do not like to eat fish very much, because there are many thorns, and the family is afraid of getting stuck in the throat. Tianjin children's summer does not have this problem.
"Fish is a donkey that drives rice", this is a sentence that Grandma Guo Degang, a child in Tianjin, said to him, which is very vivid, which means that when eating fish, people can eat a lot of rice.
Tianjin people eat seafood called "borrowing money to eat seafood, not counting and not passing.". Now young people in Tianjin will also buy fish, freeze in the refrigerator, and eat it slowly after the day falls.
When I was a child, I listened to the cross-talk on TV and said, "There is a lama from the south, carrying five pounds of tama in his hand." "I never knew what I was talking about, but the Tianjin children knew that it was the fish (tama fish).
Futian is the best time to eat the fish, first through the oil, and then with ginger, green onions, soy sauce and sweet noodle sauce to burn, this fish is a thorn on the body, very suitable for children to eat. The color is beautiful when burned with sweet noodle sauce, and Guo Degang himself said: "Red is not strong."
When it was hailing in Tianjin, someone heard the child next door shouting: "Shaved ice!" It can be seen that Tianjin shaved ice is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This kind of ice sweet food is the favorite of children. But shaved ice is not a child's food. When Puyi was in Tianjin, he liked to eat cheeselin's cold drinks - cream ice cream and fruit shaved ice. It may be an upward and downward effect, and now Tianjin is also full of shaved ice stalls.
In the winter, you can also eat, Beijingers travel to Tianjin, Hotels in Tianjin are generally cost-effective, and there are not many things in the city that need to take a long time. Lying in a warm hotel, ordering three different "toppings" of shaved ice takeout, and digging with a plastic spoon is a very comfortable and relaxing thing, similar to eating frozen pears indoors in the northeast winter.
There are shaved ice stalls next to the school, and parents can't control it, so they can only comfort themselves: the old bottom shaved ice is not perfumed. Indeed, the fruit of Tianjin shaved ice includes sour apricot red beans, honey pickled pineapple yellow peach fruits, piled on top so that the white shaved ice below cannot be seen. In the summer, parents also sit in front of the stall to eat, where can they fast their children?
Collective memories of childhood food in Places like Tianjin, Beijing, and Shandong must mention meat dragons. Meat dragons are rare in the south, but when mentioned to friends in these places, they can hold back to the kindergarten with a stick.
In the northern pasta, meat dragon is the simplest one, and can do a lot at a time, so kindergartens often do it. The method is to make the noodles, roll out a large skin, spread the meat filling on top, and then roll it up and steam it.
When steaming the meat dragon, because it is long, it is coiled into several bends in the pot, and it can also be cut into sections and steamed. There is no fixed method. The meat dragon does not have the excitement of other pasta at all, so it is also called lazy dragon, which is the Ge You paralysis in pasta. Some families will let children order two dates on it and say, "You can't eat a blind dragon."
It is very interesting for a family to eat meat dragons, some people eat with chopsticks, some people eat with their hands, some people eat more, and some people eat less. Lazy dragon has its own advantages - even meat with staple food, fast to make, but also has its own disadvantages, that is, the combination of meat and skin is not very tight, children can not hold, the meat stuffing will slide to the ground, if the family has a dog, it will quickly enter the mouth of the dog.
The child began to cry, and the adult pulled out the meat filling in his hand to him. At this time, there is a lot of warmth.
When the locust flowers bloom in April and May, you can also make the locust flower meat dragon, that is, replace the meat filling with a small fat diced meat, spread it with sugar, and then spread the locust flower. Steamed out, it is completely different flavors from bacon dragon. It is better to have an older brother and uncle in the family, and you can go to the tree to eat the locust flowers.
It is also from the beginning of May that children in Shandong can eat pu cabbage. In the most popular years of Zhu Gege, a poem by Xia Yuhe on the shore of Daming Lake was sung throughout the country: "The grass is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transfer."
Shandong children are happy, because the dried grass of this tender grass is the cabbage they often eat. The poem is almost realistic. Pu cai is as fat as zi bai and not as fat as zi bai. In 1934, Yu Dafu and Wang Yingxia went to Jinan in August, when they had not encountered a hot current in 60 years, when they ate yellow river carp, green rice and pu vegetables for tribute. They eat clear soup and puddle, which is fresher and more elegant, and they can get rid of the heat even more.
Watching the spring water, watching the reflection of the Thousand Buddha Mountain, eating pu vegetables, this summer is also quite comfortable.
Jinan is now more famous for its milk soup pu cai. Inside, add "green onion and pepper Shao wine", crush the peppercorns, cut the green onions into fine minces, mix the wine wet, chop into a fine puree, and then wrap the green onion puree and peppercorns in gauze and soak them in the rice wine for one to two hours.
It sounds like a big dish, but it's also very convenient to make at home. Boil the soup with ham and bamboo shoots, then sauté the wheat flour and add it to the soup to cook the puddle, and the meat flavor and flavor are available. It can also be used to make dumplings or buns. The family makes buns, the child eats a few bites and says that it is full, and the old man will say "the little child can't hold up again."
Shandong's famous Fukuyama ramen and Kagi fish soup made of Penglai small noodles, after May 1st, there are also pu cabbage toppings.
When drinking porridge with pickles in the summer, cooking the remaining radish peels, cabbage gangs, can be pickled, pickled for a short time, called pickling, there is no need to buy outside, people who cook their own food know this kind of benefit.
The north is dry, and Chinese medicine often advises people not to drink cold. Then drink some warm porridge, Guo Degang said: "Watch with such a narrow small strip of fish, fried to adjust a bowl of sweet and sour sauce, and then boil a pot of porridge, steam a little dead noodle roll, you remember, dead noodle roll, fried cooking small striped fish, with a pot of porridge, these three things together is a perfect match."
And the children's favorite is to take the five-spice powder and pepper to rub the radish, make radish strips, with some steamed buns, a bite of steamed buns, a bite of radish strips, and eat the northern summer day, gobble up.
