And now I'm called bubble bun (revised draft)

Have friends from afar, are you happy? Then ask him to grab a bowl of beef and lamb steamed buns!

Originated in the Song Dynasty, it is said that the beef and mutton steamed bun was invented by Zhao Kuangyin in the early years of Huazi Zhao Kuangyin, and has been the glory, pride and pride of Shaanxi people for thousands of years.

During the Republic of China period, who voted for me, a bowl of beef bubbles. From this kind of canvassing statement and tone, it is not difficult to see that beef and mutton steamed buns are definitely a bowl of delicious food that people diligently seek in their daily lives.

Winter is the peak season for steamed buns, but people who love to eat steamed buns do not care about spring, summer, autumn and winter, just to prepare him with air conditioning.

It is said that the Shaanxi writers group is called beef and mutton steamed bun pie. And as far as I know, Chen Zhongzhong, the character who carries the top of the literary world, especially loves to eat beef and mutton steamed buns. Before Chen Became famous, he rode a heavy two-eight, and took his own son or daughter, and when he ate the steamed bun, he gave the pitifully small two or three pieces of meat to his son or daughter, but he ate the steamed bun and drank soup. Probably all parents in the world are like this.

There is a saying: eight hundred miles of Qin Chuan dusty, thirty million sons and daughters roared in unison, a bowl of beef and mutton steamed buns were full of joy, but there was no spicy but muttering.

It can be said that Xifeng wine, line spicy seeds, dry tobacco, beef and mutton steamed buns and Qin cavity are the five indispensable elements of Shaanxi farmers' lives.

The first four are material food, and the last one is spiritual food. And two of these five belong to the eight monsters in Guanzhong, one is a line spicy and the other is a beef and mutton steamed bun, how is it a strange method? A dish of spicy seeds in oil, beef and mutton steamed buns are sold in large bowls!

There is a popular song, sung by the young man, and there is such a sentence in it, Xi'an people can't go anywhere without eating steamed buns.

At the time of the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng entertained the guests with beef and mutton steamed buns. And Yang Hucheng, Guanzhong Pucheng people also.

As far as I know, there are more sellers of beef and mutton steamed buns with pure flavor in Xi'an. There are only two kinds of steamed buns: sheep bubbles and cow bubbles. But beef and sheep bubble steamed buns, think of it, may also be there. I always believe that there is a person in the world who buys something and sells something, and there is a person who sells something and buys something.

Beef and mutton steamed buns are playing with those two or three pieces of meat, why do people love to eat steamed buns, isn't it just to eat those two or three pieces of meat? And beef and mutton this thing, far from the sixties and seventies of the last century no one at all to eat, no one wants, because at that time, pork is authentic, and pork to be fat and fat to be thin and thin, and fat and thin, and mutton, beef chewing can not be chewed, pork can be said to have no shortcomings. As for dog meat, it is even less elegant.

So in the 1960s and 1970s, beef and mutton and their launches were cheap for two or three cents a pound, and no one wanted it.

In the early 1980s, for fifty cents you could cook a bowl of red meat, red meat is pork, and red is colored by braising. And beef and mutton steamed bun was also a bowl of fifty cents at that time. If you brew three steamed bread buns, then in addition to a large old bowl of coarse porcelain, there is also a small bowl attached.

But today, there is only one bowl for steamed buns, and this bowl is not as big as the old bowl of coarse porcelain in the past. Moreover, such a bowl of steamed buns actually cost about 20 yuan.

Since the middle of the last century, beef and mutton steamed buns have been genuine, affordable, fast and economical, and inexpensive, and are a popular meal loved by the people. However, since the 1980s and 1990s, because the profits of bubble steamed buns are very promising, coupled with the fact that black-hearted merchants have cut corners to make profits from them for the rich, so bubble buns have been hyped up. So that to this day, steamed buns have finally become an unbearable meal that the masses of the people cannot afford to eat and fear.

Although the name is beef and mutton steamed buns, there are often cattle without sheep, and even cattle are substituted for sheep. And the soup of the steamed bun is neither broth nor bone broth, even if there are bones, the bones are boiled to no different from wood, to put it bluntly, it is simply boiled water. The bun is also smaller, thinner, and less flexible ( pliable ) , all in all , not the slightest flavor. Although there are pots full of butter and sheep fat, I am reluctant to put it in the bowl for you. The pitiful two or three pieces of meat, small and thin, and gray rats, can't bite, can't chew, can't swallow, can't spit out, simply insult this line of authentic good sellers!

Moreover, the black-hearted boss, the boss lady, the cook, and the female doll who eats the meal of youth are all snobbish little people looking at the guests below. You are dressed fashionably and stylishly, and they are very upset with a smile, so that the quality and quantity of your meals will be good. On the contrary, if you do not trim the edges, behave rudely, and talk vulgarly, then you will find that there are few steamed buns in your bowl, and the slices of meat are small, thin and black, and you can't chew and swallow. As the saying goes, the customer big deceives the store, and the store deceives the customer. Horses are good to be ridden, and good people are deceived. Paying 20 yuan and not being able to eat enough is probably too unjust.

It's been decades since I've eaten steamed buns, but the number of times I've eaten steamed buns in decades has been pitifully small. Because the sellers who eat it are different, the taste is also very similar. And good steamed buns can always give up meat and oil. The meat is beef mutton, and the oil is beef and sheep fat.

Xi'an people eat steamed buns against the fragrance, while we rural people come to the big old bowl of coarse porcelain. The people in the city like the taste, and the country people seek to eat enough. Therefore, the quality of xi'an steamed buns is high but the quantity is small, and the rural people can't eat enough in one bowl, and they have to be full of three bowls. Most urban people are engaged in mental labor and have a small amount of food, and most of the rural people are engaged in heavy physical labor, so the amount of food is large. If you can eat it, you can eat it, and if you can do it, you can eat it. Xue Rengui is the most typical example. So don't suspect that people eat too much. The amount of steamed buns sold in the countryside is large, but the taste is not as good as that of Xi'an. All in all, for steamed buns, urban people pursue taste, while rural people pursue fullness. If a farmer spends nearly 20 yuan to eat steamed buns and has not eaten enough, then the hearts of the operators of such steamed buns are too dark.

Therefore, a good steamed bun should be filled with a large old bowl and just thickened...

Therefore, a good steamed bun should be made with a large old bowl, which is full and thick. When the girl who serves the bowl comes to you, the bowl should be piled up into a hill, and the heat and fragrance should be rushing to the nose. At this moment, add a small amount of spicy sauce and coriander, take them deep into the bowl, and gently stir a few small strokes to make it even. At this time, the bun is white, the tendon is, the meat is red, rotten and painful, the soup is yellow, the oil is oily, the vermicelli is silver soft and hard, moderate and fragmented, and the garlic seedlings are green, crisp and flavorful. At this time, you pull the steamed bun into your mouth, and from time to time you will have sugar garlic, pickled millet peppers or bamboo shoot strips.

I remember that time, I took my son to eat steamed buns, but my son said that he was not hungry. It just so happened that four side dishes came up (spicy sauce, coriander, sugar garlic, kimchi), I sandwiched a lettuce strip (because the kimchi was finished, the store replaced it with lettuce strips), fed the son, the son just put it in his mouth and immediately said that it was very spicy! Because the lettuce strips were stained with small green peppers, and he fed them, he refused to eat them. The steamed bun came up, and there was a small bowl of soup, and I wanted to feed my son meat, but he refused to eat it. I fed him a slice and he threw it up without chewing it. I devoured and ate very happily. The son climbed up and down on the chair and played around the table. I did eat deliciously, eating hot and sweaty. Because I haven't eaten beef steamed buns here for a long time. Although there was no kimchi, the lettuce strips were not bad, crispy, sour, especially the embellishment of those few small green peppers, which made my appetite increase greatly, and if there were two or three more small red peppers, it would be even better. Lettuce strips are really good, I used lettuce strips to feed my son, but he was not too spicy, I fed him several in a row, he seems to have tasted it, so he ate very well, there was no intention of refusing at all.

And the failed beef and lamb steamed bun is a bowl of paste, and the more it is stirred, the more sticky it is, and what about the fans? Fans have long since become part of the paste. Such steamed buns can only be poured to pigs and dogs to eat, and I am afraid that even pigs and dogs are reluctant to eat.

In fact, the delicious foodies who love to eat steamed buns, even if the weather is hot, they can also eat correctly, at this time, fans, air conditioners, wet towels and napkins should be absolutely ready.

As far as I know, many homes that sell bubble buns are reluctant to give free napkins that are not worth two cents to diners. That's not a good thing to say! It should be known that loyalty does not fold the cost, meanness does not make money.

When the steamed bun is about to be eaten, the expressionless baby girl will bring a small bowl of soup, which is a relatively salty beef and mutton soup, which will bring a perfect end to the meal.

If you can eat steamed buns once a week, then such people are happy. After eating such a steamed bun, the sound of "khaoru" is fragrant, not to mention the breath like a blue.

Although the steamed bun is delicious, it cannot be eaten every day, and a good meal is afraid to eat three times in a row.

Nowadays, it is the rich who can eat the steamed buns, and the vast number of sentient beings cannot afford to eat them.

Because of the cutting corners and constant speculation of black-hearted businessmen, the popular cuisine of beef and mutton, which has long been economical, inexpensive, genuine, fast and good, has long since parted ways with the masses of the people.

Where can you, who love to eat steamed buns now, serve a bowl of genuine steamed buns with good color and flavor?

Alas, you damn tempting steamed bun!
