Chapter 38 Fried Eel Noodles Crossing the Bridge

I lived in Hu Qingyu Hall in Hangzhou. Hu Qingyu Hall is located at the northern foot of Wushan Mountain in Hangzhou. There is a large group of magnificent and resplendent ancient buildings. It was built by Hu Xueyan, a famous red-top businessman in the late Qing Dynasty. year created.Hu Qingyutang is known as the king of medicines in the south of the Yangtze River. He inherited the prescriptions of the Taiping Huimin Heji Bureau in the Southern Song Dynasty, widely absorbed the traditional prescriptions of famous doctors, and carefully prepared Qingyu pills, powders, ointments, pills, and Jishining people.Living here, there is a vague feeling of living in history.

The right hand of Hu Qingyutang is Dajing Lane, and the left hand is Hefang Street.Today's Hefang Street is an antique pedestrian street, except for In addition to selling some antique handicrafts, the rest are teahouses and restaurants. I like to wander here in the morning or at night. The summer in Hangzhou is also hot, but there is a cool breeze in Hefang Street. A person holds a pot and pours out the residual tea.In short, in Hefang Street, you will vaguely find some interesting feelings or old-fashioned mood.The sour plum soup in summer is also good. I still feel that the crepes of the small steamed buns in Hefang Street are like plum blossoms. I compare it with the crepes of Wuhan Xiaolongbao and Kaifeng’s soup dumplings. The crepes of the buns are more casually twisted. Ruuo umbilical, Kaifeng soup dumplings have 32 neat layers of crepes. Compared with the crepes of Hefang Street Xiaolongbao, the crepes are better.

Hangzhou is the ancient capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, so the leisurely taste of Hangzhou people is not inferior to that of Kaifeng, Xi'an, Beijing and Nanjing. They usually go to Hefang Street for breakfast at about 90 o'clock in the morning. It is said that in summer, they will hide in a big teahouse for a meal All day tea.I think it's better to go to Xixi or Yuhuangshan for a picnic.I have tasted many snacks in Hefang Street, and I vaguely remember that Liang Shiqiu likes the ones in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so I will eat them. Fried eel noodles refers to a type of noodles. If it is moved elsewhere, it is noodles with fried eel back noodles or toppings. There are two ways to eat them, fried eel noodles and fried eel noodles.For fried eel noodles, put the fried eel back directly in the cooked noodles. The fried eel back that crosses the bridge of the fried eel noodles is not directly placed in the noodles, but put on another plate separately. When eating noodles, put the fried eel back from the plate Pick it up and eat it, this is called crossing the bridge.There is a saying that Feng Zikai believes that crossing the bridge is a mistake of over-pouring, and over-pouring means not putting the topping in the noodles.

Do as the Romans do, and I also learn how Hangzhou people eat. I want a bowl of fried eel noodles to cross the bridge, a bottle of West Lake beer, drink the West Lake beer first, and eat fried eel back.It is said that the Chinese drink beer in one year and drink four West Lakes. Judging from the water area of ​​the West Lakes, drinking four West Lakes is not too much, and drinking one Yangtze River is not a huge amount.West Lake beer is a refreshing type. After chilling, it is cool and refreshing. The fried eel back is made of thick and live eels, which are cut into eel slices, fried in vegetable oil, fried in meat oil, and poured in sesame oil until the eel Until the back is yellow and crisp, the taste is crisp and tough, chewing to taste the taste of water.Love Hangzhou, eat fried eel, something to enjoy in heaven on earth, and this kind of drinking is also one of them.

After drinking a bottle of West Lake beer, I’m not thirsty anymore. Pour the remaining half plate of fried eel noodles into the noodles, and then simmer until the noodles are simmered. The eel fragrance is scattered in the noodles, and I eat the noodles carefully. Hangzhou people eat elegantly. And Sven, the decibel of the voice is not very high, like fish eating under the lotus in summer, the small voice of popping pops permeates the water vapor, and the mist of West Lake is given to Liu Feng.I think that the doctors in the Southern Song Dynasty lived here in peace, so they probably didn't think about the Central Plains.Wang Jingzhi, a famous lakeside poet in the last century, formed a lakeside poetry society in West Lake, known as a lakeside poet, and wrote many lyric poems. Wang Jingzhi's masterpiece "The Wind of Hui" is so lyrical:

loh's wind where is it blowing The wind of the cymbidium— The warm wind of Cymbidium? Cymbidium locked in the garden, Yi was full of resentment. Yidiyouxiang sneaked out of the garden, Go recruit Die Er, whom Yi loves. Elegant butterfly, Kaoru in the wind: he was intoxicated; I want to find Yi. How could he find the imprisoned Yi? He is only fascinated by the idyllic wind, Bearing this wretched and sweet sorrow, Flying drunkenly.
