First of all, noodles are like belts
Guanzhong, commonly known as "eight hundred Li Qinchuan", is rich in wheat. Wheat has become one of the main foods of Guanzhong people. Noodles are the main diet of Guanzhong people. People in Guanzhong eat noodles and like to knead them hard, roll them thick and cut them wide, which is called "biangbiang noodles". After this kind of noodles is cooked, whether it is poured with meat or pepper, it tastes smooth, soft, spicy and strong in a bowl. Delicious and hungry.
Second, a pot helmet is like a pot cover.
Guo kui is a kind of cake made of wheat flour and baked in an iron pot. It is not only the staple food of Shaanxi people, but also the dry food that people carry with them when they go out. There are always different opinions about the origin of Guo Kui. Some people say that Guo Kui was invented by Zhuge Liang after he was young and set fire to Bowangpo to help Guan Yu stabilize his army. Some people say that when Ganling was built in the Tang Dynasty, the construction progress was often delayed and punished because of the excessive number of soldiers and craftsmen serving. So, a soldier anxiously put the dough into his helmet and baked it into a cake in the fire. Because it is made of a helmet, it is called a pot helmet. Guo Kui has been in Shaanxi for thousands of years anyway. Shaanxi people can't even pinch a pot helmet with their hands. They can only rub it with a wooden barbell and all the strength. After being pressed into round cakes, they put them in an iron pot, roast them slowly with wheat straw and simmer them with a small fire. The pot helmet branded in this way is crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, and it won't be bad if it is put on for more than ten or eight days. The iron pots in rural Shaanxi are very large, and the diameter is generally more than two feet, so the branded pot helmet is big and thick, much like a pot cover. This is probably also the performance of Shaanxi people's simple personality and tolerance.
Third, pepper is a dish.
Shaanxi is rich in peppers. Pepper in Shaanxi is red, with a long head and spicy taste. Locals commonly call it "pepper" or "red pepper". It is exported to foreign countries and is called "Qin Spicy". It is generally believed that people in Hunan and Sichuan can eat Chili. In fact, people in Shaanxi eat Chili much more delicious than people in Sichuan, Hunan. People in Hunan and Sichuan only use pepper as seasoning, while people in Shaanxi actually eat pepper as a dish. People in Shaanxi eat peppers, first remove the stalks of peppers, dry them with a warm kang, then pound them into powder with a ladle, sieve them, add fine salt, and finally pour more boiling oil, which becomes the famous "oil chili pepper" in the local area. This kind of pepper looks red, smells sweet and tastes spicy. It can be used to mix noodles and eat steamed buns. This pepper is rich in fat, protein and inorganic salts, and has the functions of appetizing, eating and stimulating appetite.
Fourth, paomo is sold in big bowls.
"Beef and mutton buns are sold in big bowls" can be called "the first bubble in Shaanxi" and "the first bowl in xi 'an". It seems to be a waste of time to go to Xi 'an without eating beef and mutton buns. Beef and mutton buns are Muslim food.
Guanzhong people pay attention to material benefits when eating. Meat is a big piece of meat, and steamed buns are difficult to hold. Bowls are big and old bowls that can hold 6 Liang 8 Liang. The mutton bread in soup just served is very hot and steaming. When eating, use chopsticks to dial from around the bowl to your mouth and eat while dialing.
The methods of mutton steamed bread are mainly divided into cook the meat, steamed bread, soup, broken steamed bread and steamed bread. The meat should be cooked crisp and rotten. Steamed bread should be branded hard and yellow, but also insoluble in water and not rotten. The soup is made of beef and mutton bone marrow. Break the steamed bread as evenly as possible, then add seasoning such as steamed bread, meat, vermicelli, onion, salt and monosodium glutamate, and cook in a frying pan.
Because of the different cooking methods, there are two kinds of mutton buns: boiled and fried. The amount of soup added is different, which is divided into dry soaking (less soup) and water siege (more soup). You can eat it in your own way. This kind of soup dumpling is dry, hot and fragrant, which is very appetizing. Therefore, the Paomo Pavilion chose a large porcelain bowl made in Yaozhou (Yaoxian) to hold Paomo.
Fifth, the bowl is difficult to divide.
Shaanxi people (Laoshan Mountain) like to eat with a large white porcelain blue-and-white bowl made in Yaozhou, which is nearly 1 ft. The locals call it the "old bowl". This kind of old bowl is even bigger than the small one, so it is often difficult to distinguish the bowl from the basin.
In the rural areas of Guanzhong, at the head of the village, in front of the village and under the trees, men are holding big and old bowls (a bowl of soup and rice plus two pieces of steamed bread is six or seven liang), squatting together and chatting with relish while eating. This is the famous "Old Bowl Club".
In rural areas, people work hard and eat a lot. It is enough to use an old bowl when going out, and there is no need to go home to serve rice, which saves a lot of trouble.
Six, dad put it on his head.
Shaanxi Guanzhong is rich in cotton, and the local countryside has long had the habit of spinning cotton. The local people like to weave this kind of homespun made of cotton into black. Therefore, in the rural areas of Guanzhong, most of the clothes owned by middle-aged and elderly people are black. This is probably related to Qin Shihuang's legacy of taking water as virtue and subliming black. Almost all the elderly women in Guanzhong rural areas wear a black or white handkerchief on their heads. Outsiders don't understand why. In fact, this kind of Pappa is very practical, which can prevent wind, dust, rain, sun, sweat and hands, and can also be used to wrap things temporarily.
Seven, the house is half covered.
In Xi city and rural areas of Shaanxi province, houses built on one side can be seen everywhere. What is a side cover? Generally, the roof of a house is herringbone, and the houses in Shaanxi are herringbone curled. It is said that because Shaanxi is dry in the morning and there is little rain, the houses built here can let all the rain of Jane stamps flow to their own fields, which is the so-called "rich water does not flow to outsiders."
Moreover, in the past century, Shaanxi's agricultural development has been slow, but its population has increased rapidly. Families living together in rural areas have limited land area, large population and tight housing, thus forming a history of "half-built" houses.
Eight, the girl is not foreign.
Guanzhong plain has fertile land and convenient irrigation. As long as there are seeds in the field, you can basically eat them. So few people go to other places to survive. There has long been a saying in Guanzhong area that "an old man will never leave Tongguan (Tongguan) or Sichuan". Over time, not only men don't travel far, but even girls don't marry far away. The main reason why girls don't marry far away is that they can take care of each other with their parents' families, and both of them are relatives and easy to move around.
Don't sit up.
Because Guanzhong men have to squat together for three meals a day to have an old bowl meeting, and they have to squat for more than an hour. In addition, in winter, people like to squat in the leeward and sunny places to "bask in the sun" or "lose the edge" to play chess. As a result, Guanzhong people formed the habit of squatting. Outsiders say this is "squatting up and not sitting on the bench."
X. Singing and Shouting
Singing opera refers to Shaanxi opera. It is characterized by high excitement and extreme haste. In particular, the singing voice of Hua Lian is even louder, and the locals call it "earning a broken head." Foreigner joke: "singing Shaanxi opera, first, the stage should be strong to avoid collapse;" Second, actors should be healthy and avoid getting sick; Third, the audience should be bold and not be scared. "
The opera "The Howler" blushed and shouted "enchanted", but as long as the audience shouted "Yes", he was as happy as winning some grand prize. People think that this is the real Shaanxi opera, which sounds "enjoyable", "enjoyable" and "excellent".
