A few days ago, Xi'an ushered in the first heavy snow of the year, the temperature plummeted, and I took off my usual sweatshirt and changed into a heavy down jacket.
This year's snow came earlier than usual, because the snow is a mega year, so the early snow always gives me a sense of happiness. The snow fell overnight, and the window was opened in the early morning, and the outside was already white. The silver wrapping in front of him made Chang'an City save some poetry.
"Chang'an snow is like spring return, and the accumulation of su condensed and condensed" It's rustic, but it's fresh and flexible.
At noon, through the frost on the office window, watching the traffic on the Second Ring Bridge, I began to think: What should I eat at noon?
When it comes to eating, I'm still relatively particular. I eat and drink more about the seasons.
For example, in winter, I like to eat noodles, eat steamed buns, drink soup, drink hot porridge;
And in the summer, I like to eat rice, eat cold skin, eat rice noodles, drink mung bean water, drink drinks;
In the summer, I like to drink some beer, cocktails on the street;
And in winter, I like to drink some white wine and red wine at home;
Because I think that eating and drinking should be neutral with the body, if you drink more liquor in the summer, there will always be a special heartburn.
Follow the company's colleagues downstairs, discuss for half a day, colleagues proposed to go to a casserole shop on Gaoxin Fourth Road.
I wondered if the casserole with snow was quite appropriate, so I gladly accepted. Because of the snow, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and soon we came to this shop.

In fact, this is a self-selected fast food restaurant, the negative second floor mainly sells stir-fried fast food, and the negative layer sells casseroles.
The store decoration is very simple, the standard fast food restaurant counter, on the top is the menu. To the left of the counter is a drink display case with a TV in front. There are 6 to 7 tables in the store, which are uneven. Above hangs a Chandelier with European characteristics, which is very similar to the lamp in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The menu of the casserole shop
I asked for a casserole hemp. There may be many friends from other places who do not know what is called hemp food, a brief introduction:
Hemp food, also known as "MaShi", "Ma Shi Zi" or "Ma Shi Zi", is a traditional Han snack in the northwest region (especially Xi'an). It is a type of pasta, shaped like a thumb nail cap-sized gnocchi, slightly thin in the middle and upturned at the edges. The north calls it "hand skimming noodles" and "twisted noodle rolls", and the southerners call them "cat ears" and "hollow noodles". Originally known as "Bald Mashi" or "Bald Ma Shi", this pasta can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty court cookbook "Drinking and Eating Zhengyi" includes "bald and hemp food", which is interpreted as "hand skimming noodles", and the preparation method is to use "six pounds of white noodles, one foot of lamb, fried charred meat beggars", and then "with a good broth, stir-fried onions and evenly, garlic cheese and coriander." "
The Ming Dynasty gastronomy huang Zhengyi also explained in the book "Things Group Pearls": "Bald hemp food is a small burrito made of noodles, cooked into stir-fried gravy food. "
Hemp food
After a while, the boss brought a steaming pot of hemp food. In an instant, nothing was blurred on the glasses, only a strong fragrance could be smelled.
Steaming casserole hemp food
Unlike ordinary rice containers, casseroles can lock in the heat of food very well. The red oil is soaked in the soup, and a spicy fresh fragrance is emitted.
The contents of the pot are not simple, there are kelp shreds, tofu skin, spinach, bean sprouts and hemp food. A variety of ingredients, immersed in a rich soup. We call this cooking technique "braised".
I ordered casserole hemp food
Pick up the spoon, scoop a spoon, blow a blow, hemp food with soup, one time into the mouth, hemp food and the tip of the tongue collided, a mouthful of smooth and tender, another mouthful of chewy.
In fact, the casserole of this shop has 2 advantages: it is delicious and generous.
Flavor: It can be because of the long cooking time, plus a unique recipe, the soup is thick, and the taste is still remarkable.
Generous portions: A slow pot is enough for me to eat a full meal for someone with a large meal.
In the cold wind of winter, purring a few mouthfuls of hot hemp food, is there anything more satisfying than this?
This shop is not conspicuous, very ordinary, not an internet celebrity shop, not an ancestral signboard, why I want to record it, is because of its simplicity, it can bring me a full sense of happiness in winter.
Not necessarily a century-old store is good, the Internet celebrity punch card is good, for ordinary workers, as long as it is delicious, can eat enough and cheap food is the best.
