Shijing breakfast photography

What I never forget is the breakfast snacks full of fireworks in the city.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, it was still dark and hazy between heaven and earth, and a bright crab shell appeared on the horizon in the distance. Pedestrians appeared in the street in dribs and drabs, and the whole city gradually woke up in this weak voice.

Breakfast shops set up stalls very early, and the big bone soup in the cauldron has been cooked for a long time, and the air is filled with rich fragrance. The steamed bread in the drawer exudes hot air. People who are doing morning exercises to buy food are crowded in a small storefront, shouting, man, a bowl of cooked soup and some steamed buns.

This soup is called in our local dialect and should not be limited to our local area. There should be many cities in the whole Jianghuai area that have this taste, and everyone should do it only slightly differently. We used boiled bone soup or chicken soup as soup stock there, and then rushed into the broken eggs with spices such as pepper and coriander to have a drink. It was delicious.

Small breakfast shops, like clouds, have been operating for many years and even passed down from generation to generation. They snuggled up in the corner of the county seat and were out of tune with the brand-new community that was gradually updated around them. The tables, chairs and benches in the shop are also dilapidated, not to mention the coarse porcelain bowls that are almost extinct in the market, full of wildness.

The shop selling fried dough sticks is a couple's shop. Neighbors almost grew up eating from childhood. Old customers often come and go, sometimes without even saying hello, completely helping themselves. The frying pan stood at the door, twisted the shiny shelf to pick up some fried dough sticks, turned to one side, took a bowl of wax soup, strolled leisurely to an empty position, and buried his head in the sobbing cloud.

Speaking of wax soup, it seems that there are some regional characteristics. This wax soup is rich in ingredients, but its cost is low. Wash the gluten, kelp, daylily, inextricably linked, chopped peanuts, and add water starch to make a thick soup. Simple vinegar with fried dough sticks is delicious.

We also have a kind of fried pasta similar to fried dough sticks, called gluten bubble, which is shorter and fatter than fried dough sticks, golden in appearance, soft inside and strong outside, and more popular than fried dough sticks. It is also the best match for pickled soup. Every time I take my husband back to my hometown, I must eat out of the wall at the breakfast shop.

Besides, breakfast shops, beef mutton soup, fried dumplings, Lamian Noodles noodle soup and steamed stuffed bun wonton greatly enriched everyone's breakfast choices. In the morning when you are full of food and drink, you will feel a simple joy and satisfaction by rubbing your full stomach and drilling out a simple shop and walking on the road of Chaoyang.

Wandering in big cities these years, it is increasingly difficult to see snacks that represent urban life spread early, and people's choices are getting narrower and narrower, and some people don't even have time to eat breakfast. Go to the company hungry until noon, or simply eat sandwiches, bread and milk. I can't help but feel a little bitter when I think about it. I don't know whether this is an improvement or a decline in living standards.
