Chapter 61 Come to the Paris market for something to eat

Visiting the open-air vegetable market in Paris is a kind of enjoyment. The clean ground and the orderly arrangement of vegetables, fruits and melons will make people who love all the little things excited.When the weather is good, although the sun is bright, the dense sycamore trees on the side of the road can shade the top of the head, making it more interesting. In the vegetable market, the fruit stalls and cheese shops attract my attention the most, because the packaging is very pleasing.The fruit stands are full of beautiful things, all kinds of delicate and plump berries and delicate grapes, and the cardboard boxes contain cute red currants. As a fruit lover, I want to scream.Raspberries and red currants are very cute. Finally, I bought strawberries and blueberries and went back to my residence to wash and eat them. Berry lovers said that the price is much better than domestic ones.

The main colors of the cheese shop are white and light yellow, and there are dozens of hundreds of kinds of cheese, either fragrant or smelly, soft or hard, white or yellow, expensive or cheap, fresh or moldy.The French say "feet smell like cheese" when they say "foot smells like cheese", but this cheese is cut into beautiful little pieces and packed in elegant wooden boxes. In southern France, olives are very important crops.Pickled and fresh olives, including olive oil, are widely used in French cuisine.There are far more olive oil flavors than in other countries, and interesting flavors like black truffle.Olive oil in tin jars with colorful labels and various flavors, black for black truffles, orange for oranges, green for basil leaves... In addition to the functionality of the food packaging itself, it also adds a masquerade effect, Make passers-by feel that the content is worth looking forward to and stop and look at it slowly.

I also met the famous French dessert macaron, like a beautiful and reserved girl in the window of the bakery.Macaron is the favorite pastry of Louis XIV. It originated in Italy and flourished in France. It is a masterpiece of French desserts and is born with aristocratic demeanor.It is a biscuit made of whole protein. Because it does not add flour, it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is known as "the girl's crispy breast".Macarons are one of the most popular desserts in China now. It seems that there are not a few plump macarons in the afternoon tea of ​​a five-star hotel, and it seems embarrassed to say hello to people.But after leaving Paris, the macarons I had eaten seemed to be dry, and I could no longer find the amazing feeling I remembered at first.

French buns can be seen everywhere. This is the closest friend of the French. It is equivalent to rice in the south and noodles in the north. It is the most indispensable staple food on the table.Authentic French buns are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are a little dry in the mouth when you eat them, but the more you chew, the moister they become, and they exude a unique salty aroma.François has very few calories (in other words, no fuel), and is the perfect fit for the French who are trying to stay in shape.Holding a kraft paper bag, half of the baguette is exposed inside, and a few green vegetable leaves are floating out, which is the most common and beautiful scene on the street.

At the vegetable stand, I saw an artichoke lying on a wooden board outstandingly. Some people call it "French lily", which looks like a much enlarged asparagus head.When eating, it must be peeled off one by one to taste the sweet and delicious taste like snow-capped mountains and sweet springs. As for the cooking method, whether it is grilled, fried, boiled, or even made into salads, it is very sweet.Endive has a slightly bitter taste and is often served in salads with other vegetables.Parisians don’t put all kinds of sweet and sticky salad dressings in their salads. They just add some white vinegar and mix it. It is also a healthy food with low oil and salt, which is good for fitness.

I just walked into the most common vegetable market, but I gained a lot of persistence and respect for small things.Probably the locals will think it’s all a fuss, but in my opinion, all kinds of small details correspond to a saying: Parisians don’t think about whether it’s practical or not before doing something, but whether it looks good or not.Even when it's what you end up eating, they use downright aesthetics to make the whole thing look respectable and elegant.
