Chapter 31 Midnight Diary · Autumn and Winter

There are countless wonderful products, but the food that makes me feel the most is Yuanxiaoye. The old lady first said "soaked in cold", so she moved into the Nuan Pavilion, and later said "The night is long, I am a little hungry", and Sister Feng replied that there is Duck porridge.The old lady said to eat light, that's all.But the words "duck porridge" are unforgettable. It is also the night snack in Yuan Dynasty, and it is prefixed with "cold soaking".Eating duck meat porridge at this time has a special advantage: Although duck meat porridge is cold tonic, the duck meat can be boiled into the porridge.Comparing it with cold soaking, it immediately warms people's hearts.

Midnight snacks in spring and summer are very different from those in autumn and winter.I used to go to Guangzhou, and when I went barefoot and wore flip flops to eat sausage rolls and roast goose, I thought of Wan Ziliang encountering a female ghost, Anita Mui.Or it may be affected by this scene, the taste of Cantonese snacks is rare, but it is not as exciting as Lao She's so-called "eating sweat".The return journey is in Suzhou, autumn has turned to winter, and the weather is cool.In the evening, I found a mutton soup restaurant that also sells skewers in unlined clothes. While complaining about the cold weather, I ordered a casserole with sliced ​​scallions covered with radish and mutton.Immediately, I felt "well, the feeling of midnight snack is back".

Summer night snacks in the south of the Yangtze River are usually refreshing and delicious, such as all kinds of river seafood, snails, etc., which can be served with rock sugar rice wine; autumn and winter night snacks should be more bold and unrestrained.Originally, supper was a very private matter, and the lights were out of control. During the day, I still calculated the mood of "eating a bite of meat is equal to how much fat is equal to how many minutes of jogging". It's gone.So a midnight snack is much more common than three regular meals.What's more, it's cold in the middle of the night in autumn and winter, and it's "soaked in the cold". Don't believe that ducks with goose feet are chewy.Both warm and full, is king.

In autumn and winter, the atmosphere is very important.It wrote about a Beijing tavern, the night outside was cold and the north wind was cold, drinking, eating pancakes, and making a lot of noise in the room. In the end, Xiangzi bought some mutton buns, which made me salivate.There are often guerrilla small fried stalls everywhere on the streets of Shanghai, and every hundred meters away there is a sound of explosions of chili peppers, oil, and spatulas.Stir-fried noodles and fried rice, Kung Pao chicken and other home-cooked dishes, bored otaku wandering around in the middle of the night, migrant workers, and uncles who are tired from playing mahjong in the community eat ping-pong-pong.The taste is ordinary, but the oily fragrance is heavy and hot, which can seduce the stomachs of those who are clear at midnight in a radius.I have eaten at Northeast restaurants in Beijing in winter. Tofu skin, sauce, and scallions are all served together. It is very delicious to eat when rolled, but it is a bit cold.Another order is a pork vermicelli, the container is as huge as a washbasin, steaming hot, and the serving is very majestic.Under the dense white clouds, the energy was taken away, even if I didn't eat, I felt full of the momentum of the midnight snack.It gets dark late in Urumqi, even in winter.Therefore, it is always at midnight that people feel that "it's dark, it's time to act".Under the night, the army of grilled skewers is vigorous and vigorous, and the flames are peeling off. All kinds of spices are pungent and pungent, even cold and exciting.

Only rich families can afford duck porridge.We are small people in Shengdou, and it is the season of autumn and winter, and we want to be quick and agile when we eat and eat. Therefore, things that can drive us away from the cold are most suitable.A friend verified that Sichuan Dandan Noodles was originally a great invention for snacking.Ladies are tired of playing mahjong at night, hungry or want to gossip, ask the street to make dan dan noodles, minced meat, noodles, soup, easy to make, rich and delicious.Jiangnan also has something similar, which are small wontons.Now it is pushed by a cart. It is said that picks were popular in the past, which can be traced back to the Song Dynasty.The situation changes with the situation, but the general pattern of wontons remains the same: all kinds of wonton fillings are wrapped in skins, and another pot of very thick and fragrant soup is used. If you want to play mahjong, just pass a bowl of wontons under the soup.In fact, how many wontons with fillings and skins can be had, and it is more for drinking the soup to keep warm.

For a midnight snack in winter, eating hot pot around the stove is naturally the best.But Beijing shabu-shabu is always not right to eat alone, it is better to find stewed pot and cook it on fire.The same applies to steamed buns and Xinjiang shredded naan mutton soup.Small hot pots in Chongqing are a bit better. Both Chongqing and Chengdu have the habit of drinking beer at night, but it is extremely cold in winter, and drinking beer alone can make your teeth shudder, and you can’t warm it like Jiangnan rice wine and add shredded ginger.Back then I lived near the Chengdu Auditorium, and every night I would go down the mountain, find a small hot pot, cook forty or fifty skewers, and use the fire to keep warm.Relying on the heat and spiciness, the fox pretended to tell the boss, "The beer needs to be iced."This is the advantage of Chongqing hot pot: eating it alone will not look sad and withered or pitiful.After eating and drinking, his belly was burning, and he went up the mountain drunk, taking two steps and taking one step back. Lu Tisha felt like going to Mount Wutai with dog meat in his arms, probably one or two out of ten.
