As a southerner, what did you learn when you went to the North?

I come from Changsha. Because I love traveling, I have been to Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin and other northern provinces and cities last year and a few years ago. I didn't know these things until I arrived in the north.

A, eat and eat vegetables without bowls and pots, or even directly use a large iron pot as a dish bowl. Seven or eight people eat around the iron pot. Later, the waiter told us that it was called a pot-stewed dish. Later, I went to many northern cities and ate a lot of pot-stewed vegetables. I actually like braised dishes. However, the stewed dishes in different places have different tastes and names. There are also "Northeast Stewed Dishes", "Henan Stewed Dishes", "Shanxi Stewed Dishes", "Hebei Boiled Dishes" and so on. The prices of restaurants are different, and the ingredients of pot-stewed dishes are different. The most common braised dishes are sliced meat, vermicelli, tofu, Chinese cabbage, beans and so on. The four of us sat in front of a big iron pot with tortillas on the side. The pot is full of colors, and the color, smell and taste are all good. The food is almost finished, and the delicious tortillas are baked. Eating two or three tortillas is delicious and nutritious, and whole grains are of great help to the nutritional balance of the human body. I didn't know this until I went to the North Hotel for dinner.

B, there is no food, not even noodles, except mutton or mutton, which is only available in the north. May 20 16, because my cousin's branch was in a county town in Inner Mongolia, he specially invited my husband and wife to drive with his nephew to accompany us to visit the Ordos prairie after arriving in Yulin, Shaanxi. When having lunch in Ordos prairie, he specially invited us to a herdsman's house for dinner. This Mujiale has three big yurts. It is equivalent to the "farmhouse music" in our south. There is a big garden table in a huge yurt, and the dishes served by the Mongolian boss and his wife on the other side of the yurt are mutton, sheep hoof and lamb chops cooked in clear water. There are neither vegetables nor rice, plus a small plate of biscuits and goat's milk. We asked the boss for bowls of noodles. This is the original ecological life of the Mongols. Southerners are definitely not used to eating meat without eating a grain of rice. But look at those Mongols. They eat beef and mutton every day, and they are as strong as cows. I didn't know this until I went to the north.

C, Qishan whistle noodles, you can eat more than a dozen bowls at a meal, and the delicious whistle has been stored for half a year. I didn't know until I tasted it in the north. 2O/KLOC-In August of 0/4, I went to visit my nephew Shaanxi Machinery Maintenance Company, and he specially invited me to Qishan to eat whistle noodles. Qishan, a place name, is famous for the chapter "Qishan in Feng Ming" in the List of Gods. Eating authentic whistle noodles in Qishan is really a different delicious experience. 10 and his party drove to Qishan town, and dozens of noodle restaurants in the town were listed as "Qishan whistle noodles", and some of them were added with the attributes of "authentic" and "most authentic". We found a noodle restaurant with convenient parking at random, and each person only had 30 yuan. According to the boss's wife, Shao Zi (code name in Changsha) killed a big fat pig in the twelfth lunar month, then boiled the fat pork into half a pot of lard, and then chopped the lean meat into fine particles. Add five spices, pepper and other ancestral spices to lard and cook it with lean meat. When making soup granules temporarily, add ingredients such as black fungus and carrot. The surviving whistle is sealed with a small ceramic cylinder, and the upper layer is sealed with white lard, which will not be broken for half a year. Every guest, take out his whistle, add ingredients to the pot and make soup. The unique way to eat Qishan whistle noodles is a noodle bowl, which is only the size of a bull's eye. Each bowl can only hold a small chopsticks and noodles. If you count, at most seven or eight noodles and a chopstick. A table full of cold dishes, then a bowl of whistle soup, and finally a small bowl for each waiter. Pour the noodles into the soup bowl to taste, then finish eating, and add another bowl until the stomach is round and can't eat. According to reports, noodles are made of various raw materials, such as mung bean noodles, Qiao Mai noodles and pure wheat noodles. Fine, not only tough, but also delicious, a bowl of whistle with good color and fragrance is wide open. The waiter went round and round, and everyone ate five or six bowls. The "big guy" with the most peers actually ate ten small bowls. It is really "unique". Usually southerners don't like pasta, so I made an exception and ate five bowls, just a few chopsticks. This kind of experience is only known in the north.

The above are all kinds of experiences about food culture, which I didn't know until I arrived in the north.

Please pay attention.

In fact, northerners don't know that "one mouse kills three chickens" and that delicious rat meat!

There is no "Xiao Qiang" flying in the north.

1, about eating

Southerners pay attention to exquisiteness, and the requirement of setting the plate is to leave blank, so that they have an artistic sense.

Northerners want to eat well and have style. The purpose of their treat is to "eat whatever you want."

2. About onions and garlic

Southerners use onions and garlic as seasoning, usually cut into minced onions and garlic and eat them with vegetables.

On the other hand, northerners will dip onions and garlic in the sauce.

3. About buying food

Southerners buy food by meal.

On the other hand, northerners usually buy by the ton.

4. About drinking

Southerners drink gracefully, chatting while drinking, and pushing a cup for a change in a slightly tipsy atmosphere.

And northerners drink. . .

That is to win by quantity.

5. About bathhouses

When a southerner first walks into a public bathhouse in the north.

He felt that his outlook on life was gradually disintegrating.

Why not a single room?

Why are there no partitions and curtains?

What is even more frightening is that when they are standing in the corner taking a bath, …

6. About cockroaches

Northerners have a deep misunderstanding about this: "What is there to be afraid of? It is not as small as a nail. "

At this time, the southerners passed by: "Ah? What did you say? "

7. About direction

When someone asks, "Grandpa, how can I go to the toilet?"

Grandpa: "Go straight and turn left."

Go east first, then turn south, meet a crossroads, then go north, then look southeast, and you will arrive.

8. About snow

When southerners first saw the snow with goose feathers.

Next second. . . .

9. About winter

In the winter of northerners, it is freezing outside.

In winter in the south, the room is freezing cold.

10, about dialects

There is no communication barrier between northerners' dialects.

Southern dialect with encryption function.

In fact, the so-called North-South difference is nothing more than some ridicule of life.

Both southerners and northerners are loving families.

The lack of water in North China and Northwest China sometimes exceeds the imagination of southerners. For example, the "river" in the north is just a ditch in the eyes of southerners, especially in winter.
