As a renowned carbohydrate paradise, even if we don't know it now, countless people in later generations have visited it.
Although there aren't as many snacks now, and beef and mutton aren't something you can just eat whenever you want, there are some foods that every state-run restaurant has.
Take biangbiang noodles, for example. The character for this word cannot be typed in pinyin; it can only be written using Wubi input method. However, the restaurant sign is written in chalk.
This character is said to be the Chinese character with the most strokes to date, making it the most complex Chinese character.
The pronunciation of the word “biang” and the phrase “biang-biang” are onomatopoeic.
The dough makes a biang-biang sound on the work surface during the rolling and stretching process.
When the noodles are put into the pot, they make a biang-biang sound on the edge of the pot;
The noodles made a biang-biang sound as they were being scooped out and seasoned.
When the noodles enter your mouth, they make a biang-biang sound.
The children's rhyme about biang-biang noodles from Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province goes like this:
"A little bit goes up to the sky, the Yellow River bends twice."
The character "八" (eight) opens wide, and the character "言" (speech) moves inward.
You twist, I twist; you lengthen, I lengthen.
Add the character "马大王" (Ma Da Wang) in the middle, with the radical for "heart" and the radical for "moon".
"Hang a ding-ding (a type of male ornament) on a horse-drawn carriage, and ride around Xianyang."
So for our first meal today, I brought my brothers to try the legendary biangbiang noodles.
Imagination alone isn't enough; we need pictures!
Actually, she felt that this noodle dish was similar to the oil-splashed noodles in Shandong Province, except that the noodles were as wide as belts.
The three siblings can all handle spicy food, so they also ordered two cold dishes. Worried that one bowl of noodles wouldn't be enough for their brothers, they also ordered five roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers).
A big bowl of noodles costs only one cent. Each bowl contains two ounces of noodles, topped with bean sprouts, greens, meat, chili powder, and finally drizzled with oil. It's fragrant and delicious.
The roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) cost one mao (0.1 yuan) each, and it was bigger than her hand. It was filled with chopped green peppers, slightly spicy, and refreshing.
The steamed bun is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it crumbles when you bite into it.
A plate of spiced peanuts and a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes are appetizing and perfect with rice.
Good heavens, this meal cost six liang of grain coupons for noodles and two liang of meat coupons; five liang of grain coupons and three liang of meat coupons for roujiamo (Chinese hamburger); two mao for a plate of peanuts and eight fen for shredded potatoes. The total cost was 1.08 yuan. One jin and one liang of grain coupons and five liang of meat coupons were used. Vegetables did not require coupons.
Xiao Jiu hadn't eaten much for breakfast, but managed to devour a bowl of noodles and a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) at the same time, making his brothers beam with joy.
"That's exactly how you have to eat! Look how thin you are, your face is all sunken, you need to get back in shape!"
"I'm skinny? Dude, I'm the fattest guy in our dorm."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but show off her chubby cheeks, saying, "They always love to pinch my cheeks."
"Why are you pinching my cheeks? You have no flesh on your own face, so you're trying to feel it? I won't let them pinch my cheeks next time!"
Tao Zui muttered to herself, then couldn't resist squeezing it with her hand. "I must say, it feels really nice."
Xiao Jiu rolled her eyes at him, which amused him so much that he got up to buy his sister a bottle of soda.
"No, brother, I'm full, I really can't drink anymore."
"Let's go, we've paid the bill, let's digest our food, go shopping, and buy something if we get thirsty."
To be honest, prices these days are really touching. Apart from not being used to counting these bills, there's really nothing wrong with them.
The streets were bustling with the sounds of gongs and drums in the morning, but it quieted down a bit around noon. However, the five-star red flags hanging outside, along with colorful paper flags and banners with various slogans and banners, and the unique and elegant Song-style calligraphy, were a distinctive form of propaganda in this era.
"Shall we take a picture? Today is National Day, such a special day, I think we should commemorate it!"
It is especially precious that the siblings gathered together in Xishi to study.
The two brothers thought they were going to a photo studio, but to their surprise, Xiao Jiu simply took a camera out of his schoolbag.
"I borrowed this photo from a classmate's photo studio, bro, let's take it ourselves!"
While enjoying a drink, he made sure to find some particularly famous angles to capture the city walls and ancient building complexes in his camera, so that they would be valuable historical materials to look back on in the future.
The three siblings went to the West Market Railway Station Square one after the other, stood at the front of the parade, and excitedly shouted "Long live Chairman Mao!" They also took a group photo by the city wall next to a bus. Afterwards, they went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the entrance of the Military Medical College, and the entrance of Northwestern Polytechnical University.
Unable to take photos themselves, they asked others to take photos for them, thus fulfilling a special mission on this special day.
In the evening, they ate rice noodles and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) at a state-run restaurant and drank Bingfeng soda. They had a fulfilling and happy day.
"Brother, I should go back now. You two should eat well and not neglect your health. You'll have a lot of health problems when you get old."
I'll have someone develop the photos and send them to you later.
The two brothers delivered the small bottle of wine to the school gate and watched her wave and go inside. As she turned around, the camera was sent into space.
They check personal belongings upon entry, and cameras are a very sensitive issue, especially since this is a military unit.
She was also carrying some pastries and snacks that her brothers had tried to make up for by giving her money; she had no idea where they got the tickets.
Anyway, we spent a lot of money on her, including canned food and malted milk powder, so we didn't shortchange her at all.
"Let's go!" Only after they were out of sight did Tao Ran turn to look at Tao Zui, only to find his eyes red and his face full of reluctance.
"No way, brother, didn't I say we'd come out in a week? You're making it sound like a life-or-death situation."
