Northeast cute

Harbin is a city that perfectly combines history and modernity. Here, you can experience both advanced fashion and artistic sense and simple historical charm. Harbin Laodaowai is a living witness of the city's changes. You can see it everywhere here. It is a folk house and authentic snacks from a hundred years ago. Although many buildings are old and dilapidated, they have a unique flavor. When walking in the quaint streets, through the long and winding alleys, imagine who has stepped on the hot land under your feet like yourself.

Seeing the scenes in front of him, Li Lingxi finally understood why people would always unconsciously add the word "old" in front of "outside the Tao". Everything here is old, and in some places it is even described as decay Can't be overemphasized.

Some streets here are lined with vegetables and fruits carefully arranged by vendors, and there are even long queues in front of some special windows. The place is messy and dark, the roof has caved in, and the peeling debris of the wall skin extends along the root line of the wall. Looking from the half-upright and half-tilted wall to the courtyard, there are abandoned sundries, dilapidated; The place is preserved intact, as if returning to the starting point of the story a hundred years ago. Everything here is either prosperous or prosperous, or incomplete, and the strong contrast completely presents the mixed flavors of the city.

"Do you find this place strange?" Wu Yi couldn't help asking curiously beside Li Lingxi, walking with him outside the old way, which itself had a strong contrast.

"Why do you say that?" Li Lingxi asked back.

"Some places here look like a clean and luxurious palace, while others are dirty and messy residences. How can there be such a big contrast on the same piece of land?" Wu Yi pointed out the doubt in his heart.

"Yeah! How can there be such a big contrast? Some buildings are carefully cared for while others are left to fend for themselves. If they are consciously protected, why should they be treated differently? Do these relics that bear witness to history also need Through our artificial choice to decide whether it will go or not? But before time, they are equal!" Li Lingxi thought in his heart, he didn't tell Wu Yi about these thoughts, and he continued to think: "There is still What's even more strange is that there are still people living in some dilapidated houses. I think the windows are broken. What kind of people will live in them? And what kind of people will choose to continue living there. The dwelling place of the earth..."

Wu Yi looked at Li Lingxi's ecstasy, he knew that Li Lingxi must be thinking about something at this moment, he didn't interrupt Li Lingxi, he also stopped talking, and continued to watch the people and scenes on both sides of the street.

"I heard that there are many snacks that have been passed down for hundreds of years, let's experience it!" A short period of concentrated thinking did not bring Li Lingxi the answer to the question he was curious about, so he decided to "say goodbye" to this topic for the time being. So he brought up a topic that both of them were very interested in - eating.

"I think it's okay! Tell me earlier, after walking for a long time, I'm starving to death!" Wu Yi was much more excited than Li Lingxi when talking about this topic.

In fact, when it comes to eating, Li Lingxi is more rational than Wu Yi. Taking the matter of "famous snacks" as an example, Wu Yi will simply think that which place is crowded and where there are many people queuing up. Whichever place has a good reputation, whichever place has a longer history, the food from this place will definitely be delicious, at least it can be guaranteed not to be unpalatable.

But Li Lingxi's thinking is obviously better than Wu Yi's. He believes that Wu Yi only saw the appearance of the problem, but did not explore the essence of the problem: if eating is regarded as a kind of behavior to satisfy hunger or desire, Wu Yi Such behavior is desirable and even wise, but when eating is regarded as a spiritual experience, the situation and choices people face will be completely different, just like a person who never wants to eat tortillas If you suddenly fall in love with eating one day, there must be a story in it, and the story is often mixed with many emotions.

"There are so many delicious foods, what shall we eat?" Wu Yi asked Li Lingxi.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat everything!"

"Uh..." Li Lingxi smiled and said, "Choose one or two, we can try it, but if we try them all, it's probably too much!"

"It's too difficult to choose! It's not difficult to choose two things you want to do out of many things you don't want to do, but if you can only choose two things out of many things you almost want to do, it's the worst Yes!" Wu Yi vividly expressed his psychological activities.

"It's okay, we can come here a few more times if we like, we can't run away anyway!" Li Lingxi comforted after hearing Wu Yi's very tangled answer.

"That's right! That's right!" Wu Yi thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong, and then said: "It's not right... I still want to get it done at once..."

"Haha! Don't daydream, you won't be able to finish it!" Li Lingxi said: "Why don't we go to Zhangbao Shop to buy two steamed buns, and then eat the big bone sticks? I heard that the big bone sticks here are very authentic."

"Okay!" In fact, Wu Yi doesn't have too much opinion. When someone helps to choose two things to do from the many things he wants to do, the person concerned will readily agree. The premise is to ignore the entangled choice. process.

When Li Lingxi and Wu Yi walked into the bag shop, they could clearly see that the business in the shop was extremely hot. Wooden chairs, this century-old store has welcomed many diners. Perhaps the psychological satisfaction of realizing the wish of "coming here because of the name" far exceeds the comfort and delicious food enjoyment brought by eating buns themselves.

Li Lingxi and Wu Yi lined up to buy four steamed buns of different flavors, packed them up and went straight to find another delicious food.

"Do you think his steamed buns are really better than the steamed buns on the side of the road? How much worse can they be steamed by my mother? Why are so many people eating them?" Wu Yi spent nearly half an hour looking at this to get it. The four buns in hand said.

"What you eat is not buns, what you eat is fame!" Li Lingxi expressed her opinion.

"Alright then, I'll make my mom famous as soon as possible! Maybe the ones I buy are even more popular than theirs... At that time, haha..." Wu Yi started joking again.

"At that time, you will become the general manager of Mama Wu's Baozi Shop. Under your leadership, you will eat delicious big white buns for three meals a day for 150 years..." Li Lingxi followed Wu Yi's words and continued joke.

"Uh... this has become a longevity bag that you will never get tired of for a hundred years or a thousand years! When you are old, I will call every morning, old rhinoceros, get up! Get up and eat buns!" Wu Yi said intentionally Keep your voice down as much as possible to sound like an old man.

"Stop! Stop! If you keep talking, I don't even want to eat these four buns. How delicious are the buns made by your mother! You can eat them every day for more than 100 years without a break! I guess by then There is nothing else in the eyes, the garlic has to be eaten as a steamed bun..."

Wu Yi laughed from ear to ear after hearing Li Lingxi's words, imagining the scene where a head of garlic was swallowed as a bun.

"It's almost here! Just turn another intersection." Li Lingxi led the two people forward, and came to a secluded alley. The surrounding environment of the shop was not elegant, not even basic cleanliness.

"Why did you choose this store here? How..." Wu Yi said in a disgusted and puzzled tone.

"Let's go in and have a look! Maybe it was a different situation before!" Li Lingxi continued to walk ahead.

"Wouldn't such an environment affect his business? Why didn't the store move? I really want to know what the owner thinks. Such a unique store must be visited. It would be even better if I could get to know the owner of the store." , he must not be an ordinary layman." The more Li Lingxi encountered such a situation, the more curious she became, and this series of psychological activities whetted Li Lingxi's appetite.

After the two entered, they looked around and the tables were already full of customers. Fortunately, the two of them came just in time for someone to check out and leave. After Li Lingxi and Wu Yi were done, they heard the proprietress say The wandering customer said: "There are no seats now. If you have time, you can come in and wait. If you are in a hurry, let's talk about it next time!"

The shop is not big, and the overall look is very compact. The room is filled with the hot air of the big bone sticks, and the hot air is very attractive with the fragrant smell floating in the air.

"I know why his family didn't move! It's such an authentic and nostalgic place, I really don't want to leave." Wu Yi chatted with Li Lingxi while waiting for the food.

"That's right! Look at their decoration, it doesn't look like it's deliberately dressed up, everything is natural and comfortable."

"Big bone stick! Please use it slowly." The waiter brought two plump bone sticks to the table. The straight white bones are covered with shredded meat with clear texture, and the tops of the joints are crispy tendons. There will be a creaking sound in the mouth.

"Put on your gloves and start eating!" Wu Yi couldn't wait.

Li Lingxi put on the gloves after arranging the buns and began to enjoy the feast. The texture of the meat is delicate, it is not so harsh to chew, and even the fatty meat is not too greasy to eat, with a layer floating in the soup Large and small round oil spots.

"This bone stick is good, give me a bun and I'll try it!" Wu Yi spoke highly of the food on the plate, and almost ate it in two bites after taking the bun.

"How about Baozi?" Li Lingxi asked.

"I don't know, I haven't tasted it, my mouth is full of the smell of big bone sticks!" Wu Yi pouted, chewing his mouthful of food.

"Have you ever heard of Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit? What can you taste after swallowing it in two mouths?" Li Lingxi teased.

"It's okay, here's another one!" Wu Yi took out a steamed bun from the plate, this time he restrained himself a lot while eating, deliberately searching for the taste of the steamed stuffed bun left in his mouth, and then said: "The meat is still delicious. !"

After Li Lingxi was amused by this sentence, he lowered his head and began to gnaw on the bone. He sucked hard into the hollow bone marrow of the straw and made a sound of "哫哫", enjoying the feast.

Wu Yi also imitated Li Lingxi's appearance, even his expression was very vivid, and he made the same sound. The two looked at each other, looked at the empty plate, and said loudly at the same time: "Waiter! Two more indivual!!"

When Li Lingxi and Wu Yi came out, their stomachs were almost full. Like many Northeast dishes, the big bone sticks are too big. Two servings per person are definitely overloaded for their bodies and appetites.

"Let's walk for a while and then go back by car! Otherwise, we'll have to vomit." Wu Yi suggested.

"Okay, yo eat. I won't do this again next time, I've eaten too much!" Li Lingxi rubbed his stomach and said.

"Put it down, I bet you won't be able to control it next time you meet something delicious!" Wu Yi retorted Li Lingxi.

"Not necessarily!" Li Lingxi answered decisively and added a slightly humorous suffix, "The key is to see how delicious it is..."

"Ha ha……"
