Shopping and eating in Baoding (1)

? After staying in Baoding for nearly a year, I spent a lot of time thinking about where to go to satisfy my appetite in my spare time. After all, food is also the soul of a city. During this period, I relied on the spirit of "no trouble and no fear of trouble" to not only step into the trap of the highly touted "Internet celebrity store", but also went to the inconspicuous store to eat at the so-called fly restaurant. In the world of fireworks here, I have not only tasted Baoding’s private dishes with outstanding appearance and excellent taste, but also queued for a long time on the curb on a hot day, just to taste the spirit of “doing only one thing in life” food.

Based on the reputation of local people, I have summarized several unique Baoding delicacies, hoping to share a piece of the pie with you.

1. The first recommendation in summer: Li Kuo's hand-caught lobster

? Summer nights and barbecue skewers complement each other. If we talk about the relationship between barbecue and summer, You can borrow the recently popular "one-sentence copywriting for announcing a relationship in the circle of friends": You are here with Xia Tian. Grilling shrimp together with friends is the right way to start summer.

? There are many places to eat crayfish in Baoding, but this one is the most popular. According to the introduction of the store, this store moved from Guijie Street in Beijing to Baoding and has a history of almost 20 years. When I arrived at around six o'clock in the afternoon, there were already many people queuing up. Both the waiters and the cashiers in the store seemed careless. Customers have to bear the responsibility for poor hospitality. Maybe there are delicious places. Be proud of yourself.

? The crayfish in this store is sweet and spicy, so it is more than just "spicy". In terms of ingredients, this store also does a good job. The crayfish are tender, even in size, and plump in color. The word "fresh" can be tasted. There is also oily bean skin in the crayfish. The oily bean skin soaked in the lobster soup is no longer as soft as usual and takes on a different texture. After eating the shrimp, you can use the soup to soak the noodles. The taste of the noodles is often enriched by the sweet and spicy taste of the soup. This is also different from the hot and bland soup noodles I have eaten in the past.

? Commonly ordered are clams and snails. A large plate of clams is full of meat and there are usually not many empty shells. I personally feel that although the tail of the snail has been removed, it is not easy to suck. Maybe it is because I don't have the talent for snoring snails. So if I want to recommend, I think crayfish and clams should be must-orders. There are also cold dishes and stir-fry dishes in the store, and the barbecue dishes usually start with five skewers, and they all taste pretty good.

2. Cooling tool: delicious snowflake cheese

< p> ? When the temperature rises, snowflake cheese stalls are everywhere, but this snowflake cheese shop has its own reputation and signature in Baoding. Usually, when the sun sets, customers start to queue up, often waiting twenty or thirty years. It only takes a minute to get a cold bowl. Although the flow of people at other times is not so large, there is always an endless stream.

? The standard configuration of this snowflake cheese is to first put a layer of milk ice at the bottom, and then add hawthorn cake, barley kernels, melon seeds, raisins, crushed peanuts and red bean paste one by one. On top, finally cover it with a spoonful of milk ice, and customers can choose what to add or not to add according to their own taste. The milk ice in this store is smooth enough and fine enough, and the red bean paste must have been made by the aunt herself. It is not watery, not dry, and not overly sweet. These all help this bowl of snowflake cheese have its own label.

? Because I often go there to eat, I also listened to many chats between customers and my aunt. My aunt has been making snowflake cheese here for more than ten years. Many Baoding people eat there from school to marriage, and then bring their children here. Although eating is just an indispensable food, the delicious food on the tip of the tongue is passed down from generation to generation through it.

Before the holiday, my friends and I braved the heavy rain to eat at this snowflake cheese shop. After all, only after eating this bowl of snowflake cheese can we say with satisfaction: See you next semester.

3. Appetizer exclusive: Youda Noodle House

? "A bowl of pickled fish can conquer the world" can be used to describe this restaurant. It also has chain stores in some other cities. Generally, when people come here, they will order a pickled fish noodles and choose a few of their favorite dishes. Paired with soda or soy milk, it's more than enough for two people.

? I have eaten here many times, and after ordering it, I still feel that the gluten buns and fried dough sticks floating on the soup and the noodles soaked in soup are the soul of this bowl of pickled fish, with a spicy and sour taste. The soup is neither fishy nor greasy no matter what it is paired with. As long as the weather is a little cooler, this restaurant will become my favorite.

? The lighting in the store is dim and warm, suitable for chatting with friends on rainy days, or as a late-night canteen at night. Time becomes lively in the ticking sound, and comforting and kind in the night.
