Back there again the taste of Nanjing
Three years ago, in a bleak Suimu winter day, I finally decided to leave Nanjing for Shanghai's development. That time, mind, and not the slightest nostalgia, in which only a new life full of longing and the uncertain future of nervousness. Later, although the frequent travel, but never the opportunity to return to this ancient city. However, in Shanghai rush of life and work of the gaps, they often recall the period in Nanjing, simple and happy days and over and over of the avenue of Nanjing ... ...
This time, finally have the opportunity to travel Nanjing, of course, is the main can be also something that is not a point in my mind inexplicable emotions at play. Almost three years, Nanjing, this I have lingered at the places where, you all right?
Out of the Han Fu Street station, is the Yangtze River Road, a tree-lined on both sides remains the same, a little west to go two steps forward, the tall red walls set off in front of the presidential palace suddenly now. Was like an instant, on the Nanjing clear up vague memories of a sudden, I was returned to this I had measured the city with a bicycle!
Suddenly the sky rain Piaoqi can be under the protection of large crown, only a little stained drops. Opposite the Presidential Palace has already become a big lawn, the former little cottage has been as time away. Slowly walked over, Jiangsu Art Museum, Jinling Library also keep quiet there, as if waiting for my next time to come. Everything is the same as the original may be all they have changed.
After this official, on the bus heading for Zhongshan South Road hotel. To go through Hongwu Road. This road, just when I walk the expansion is good, then this is not a broad shade of a tree surrounded by narrow streets, and both sides of the street surrounded by towering trees, the look is very different, almost no pedestrians on the street in summer, speed quickly, both sides are no shops. Now is the powerful blocking has become the driver in the eyes of the terrorist zone! Three-kilometer road on the opening 20 minutes. Road on both sides have been many more stores, and even saw a "vintage."
Years before they are heard now Nanjing popular eating a small lobster cuisine, to the, they learned that there is almost overwhelming in. On both sides of the street are often flash "Lobster Special ... ..." and so the words, "× × Lobster City" is also occasionally seen in such a large. Asked the driver-to-know rumor is true, I eat them a few well-known place for the evening we will have to wait in line, only I do not know the people of Shanghai may have to queue up to eat Xiangla Xie flourishing?
Tour the world beauty, taste human food, is this world two very good thing, although the trip is not wasted. To the hotel, check on the phone looking for a place around the end Chike from an old father learned a "Nanjing cooked food stalls" The place is said to be authentic northern Jiangsu's Hongze Xuyi lobster, you can also order over the phone bit (this point Dao Shi Xiang Laxie than a human face ﹞, so reading about the one in Nanjing, friends, ready to go at some gluttonous.
... ... ... ...
Hotels in Hunan Road, near the Lion House. Memory Hunan Road, Nanjing is a famous commercial street, especially the night market is famous. After dark, a quartz lamp burning a small Taner, on both sides of the road that stretches to open, and could be a scene in Nanjing. Stalls mainly engaged in general merchandise, homemade clothing, etc., and the seller are mostly laid-off workers are also more affluent buyers, sellers and buyers what they need, each with the proceeds, but also the achievements of the lively night market. When we go, days not all black, did not see the night market, feeling a lot of spacious streets, roads on both sides are to a variety of shops and a variety of flavors of hotels. Is very far to see the "Lion House" a big sign that we want to go to "big slot" on the signs next to the pedestrian street of the. Walking Street is, in fact, called Food Street is more appropriate, Jie Liangbian a variety of restaurants, fast food shops, tea Square, in the majority, although not, and the size of Nanjing Road, but also some additional scenes. Line to a half, you see the "Nanjing cooked food stalls" the flagship, and in the afterglow of sunset, the tall arches, red lanterns, ancient appearance, suddenly attracted our attention, He does have the "arrogant" in style.
The restaurant was divided into two layers. Downstairs is a spacious hall, scattered in them the red paint, large or small, wooden table seating is also a dark red small wooden bench. All roads lead to the next curtain hanging ceiling beams, written in popular dishes. Hall is a variety of side dish, dessert, snacks Ming stalls, fancy Which will lead to table numbers tell the waiter, while wearing a jacket Duijin came, the waiter had on. On the second floor are private rooms, with large and small, across the sub-bamboo, and the voices downstairs in comparison, here is more suited to a small shallow drinking discretion. The most interesting thing is that there are side rooms overlooking the downstairs living in which both the quiet rooms of spacious, but also to share the excitement of the first floor of happiness would have been a people appetite bar.
Choose the right seat, we have had came, the small lobsters. Here with me (written down from the Internet to give you a long exposure): the small lobsters, crayfish scientific name, multi-growth in the river mud Chak, since a head on both sides, there is a large claws, so named, but also because of its lobster-shaped feeding frenzy of the sea, so many people called crayfish. Jiangsu Xuyi lobster because of the aura by Hongze Lake, a long, heavily hypertrophy, sediment less. One local dishes: "Shi Sanxiang lobster", known as "spicy crawfish," Chinese medicine is to cook lobster with Shi Sanwei formed, its delicious smell of incense, import spicy suitable sliding tough shrimp, shrimp Huang refreshing, is indeed a rare dining. Nanjing is a popular dish of this.
This is a small lobster, in fact, was once given me a bit of childhood joy. Childhood home, though not constraints, but a son of the table we want to make a pattern to, but it also is not easy. This is a small lobster, mud pond at home was very common, because of its covered with dirt, few people draw upon for food, the market price low. My grandmother is a very clever woman will be housekeeping, and she occasionally bought from the market will be its after careful handling and cooking, this "monster" has become our taste of competition for these kids! Eaten, but not enjoyable, we are pestered around the big kids in the summer afternoon, took us secretly slipped out off Jigen bamboo, river fishing in the ponds and small lobster. The impression that the harvest is small, go home again and ultimately endure a few slap can be with ease, but also wishful thinking forward to the day can be a rewarding experience, in the big one back to the people in front of scenery. Later, the grandmother, the heir to the family gradually off, they rarely bother to do a dish. I also go out to school, work, and a blink of an eye seems to have no contact with more than ten years of this gadgets. Usually at the street stall you can sometimes see it, can be several times because of health reasons, be abandoned.
Let me say the taste of lobster in Nanjing. This store shrimp appears to be authentic, where much of the head of the prawn, shrimp yellow accounted for half of the shrimp is also very tasty, indeed one drinks the good food, look around 4, almost one table has a large basin (This is also the characteristics of Xuyi crayfish Sheng law). However, the theory of taste, but it is less than Xiangla Xie, and even firing homemade grandmother is also compared with the rival. However, this meal can evoke happy memories of my childhood, its significance has far more than I enjoy the complex. I do not know, Nanjing who habitually reasons, is there also have my so complex?
