The past in "Bubble Buns"

When it comes to Shaanxi cuisine, no matter how you talk about it, there is always a place for lamb steamed buns. Lamb steamed bun has a long history, and in the continuous development, a variety of different ways of eating have gradually formed. The most common way to eat it is the "water siege city" with wide soup and large boiling, with steamed meat in the center of the bowl and surrounded by fresh soup. If you want to eat a heavy mouthful, you can choose "mouth soup", and after eating, there is a mouthful of soup left in the bowl. If you feel that it is not too addictive, then go directly to the "dry bubble", the soup has been completely integrated into the bun, and the porcelain porcelain is solid in a large bowl. In addition to these three, there is also a way to eat called "single walk", steamed buns and soup are served in two bowls, the steamed buns are broken into soups to eat, and after eating, drink a bowl of fresh soup, each with its own taste.

In addition to the difference in eating methods, because each family has a different method of cooking, each family has its own taste, including many outstanding ones. For example, Yi Pin Zhai, Tong Sheng De, Feng Xiang Zhai, Hui Fang Zhai, Bo Sheng Zhai, Lao Sun Family, Lao Mi Family, Old Bai Family, Old Yang Family and so on.

And I only love the people on the western electronic mall pedestrian street in Xi'an Yanta District, the decoration is elegant, the service is warm, the taste is authentic, the most important thing is that it is not as noisy as the beef and mutton steamed bun restaurant on The Muslim Street. Of course, another reason I like the people in the workshop is that it is a book city 300 meters away.

I usually love to read, others say "books can not be read without borrowing", for me, but it is "books can not be read without buying", I like to read the books I buy, in addition to buying online, in addition to buying at some discount bookstores or used bookstores, I am not tired of it, and I am known as "Taoshu". The book city near the people is called the Western Book City, the venue is not small, literature, social science, art, popular science and other types of books, complete categories, good quality, the most important often have discount promotions, from 50% off to 30% off. When I was in Xi'an, this place became a good place for me to eat after meals and have fun in my spare time. Every time you go to the book city to go to the people in the bookstore, or the people in the workshop go to the book city after eating, there is always no omission, the spiritual life must be, but the appetite is also indispensable, Feuerbach (the 19th century German philosopher) did not also say: "There is affection in the heart, there is thought in the first, there must be something in the belly first."

There are beef and mutton steamed buns in the shop, and I prefer to eat some lamb steamed buns. Most of the time, I will choose to break by hand, sometimes lazy, and I will let the shopkeeper cut it with a knife, which is inevitably a bit bad in the eyes of professional eaters. I have to say that to eat the authentic taste of the steamed bun, you really have to break it by hand, although it is very troublesome, but the taste of the punch is worth it! Remember, every time people in the workshop eat steamed buns, it takes more than two hours to cook steamed buns and eat steamed buns for about an hour, and the remaining one hour is almost used to break steamed buns. Breaking bread is really a big project! Before breaking the bun, first clean the hand, two buns to pick up one, break in half, take half of them along the edge with the fingertips little by little pinch into small particles, some people say pinch into the size of the small thumb cover, I think this is all big, it is best to pinch into the size of a soybean, there is the so-called "crushed like a bee sprinkled (head)" said, so that it is more flavorful. After the steamed bun is broken, you can let the waiter bring it to the back kitchen to cook, dry bubbles, soup, water around the city, as you like.

Eating steamed buns, if you are a person, lazy to break, find a shop knife to cut, deal with it can also be, although the taste is not as good as hand breaking, but it is not too bad. But if it is a group of two or more people, it is recommended to break the hand well, break the steamed bun for this hour, just everyone pulls the talk, pulls idle, the hands move up and down, the mouth spits out lotus flowers, is not wonderful! However, the premise is that everyone has a good relationship, if you look at each other and get tired of it, you want to pat your ass and leave (don't speculate or look at each other with disgust), or want to buckle your steamed bun bowl to the other person's face.

There are really such people who do not measure up, are overconfident, have friends chasing girls, asking people to eat light meals, thinking repeatedly, choosing people on the square, he may also be as I said, such a long hour, with people to talk well, show a little to learn, chat about common hobbies, and then have feelings, I am interested. As a result, the scene of a drill, full of not so, the situation has changed, the atmosphere has not risen, the awkward encounter because of this endless bun, it seems even more embarrassing. Later, I don't know how this bun was broken, as for the steamed bun that day, is the juice thick? Soup or not? Is the meat rotten? Crispy or not? Even more so...

Later, this friend met me and said that there was something wrong with what I said. I said he was a crooked-mouthed monk who had recited the sutra.

The people on the shop have not been there for a long time, and they don't know if it is still there.

By the way, there is also the Western Book City not far from the people on the square, after the transformation, the taste has changed greatly, and I have never been there again.
