Video of buying cold noodles at night market

When I mentioned the word "Night Market of Normal University", I couldn't help but recall the trip to Taiwan Province Province, China Province in 16, which was also a night market trip, including roast chicken chops and noodles in Shilin Night Market, "Agai" fried tofu and cuttlefish in Danshui Night Market, sesame chicken in Ningxia Night Market and braised pork rice in Liaoning Street Night Market. ...

... and, of course, the night market of Taiwan Province Normal University.

Coincidentally, Harbin Normal University also has a famous Normal University night market, but there is no "é-ā fried" or salty crispy chicken here. Instead, the roast cold noodles, pot-wrapped chicken and even all parties in China are sacred, from Chongqing's meat buns and roasted brain flowers to crab soup buns and bridge ribs.

According to unofficial statistics, there are about 3-500 merchants in the night market of Normal University, where Wenxing Street stretches for hundreds of meters. If you want to find your favorite berth, you need patience and concentration, because it is all kinds of temptations to just open your nostrils and smell it.

I heard that the market opened at five o'clock, and we arrived at four o'clock, preparing to scout the environment and find the target vendor in advance, but the streets of Wenxing Street were empty at dusk. It turns out that the bosses are waiting by, and the mobile booths are lined up in the open space in front of the surrounding houses, just like the F 1 sports car waiting for the green light "start" signal on the track.

I didn't check Beijing standard time synchronously, and I didn't hear a gunshot, but "drivers" invariably "started the engine" and "stepped on the gas pedal". Suddenly, there were cars all around, and the rumble of hundreds of small wheels was superimposed on the terror in Skyquake. There were quite a few battles in Qian Fan.

Let's go aside so as not to hinder others from doing business. After the army passed, I suddenly noticed that not only were mobile booths neatly filled on both sides of the road, but there were also several businesses in front. I don't know when and where they left.

The order of pulling weeds was already arranged, but the plan could not keep up with the change. We played it by ear and found that we would go to crowded places. Not far away, it's very lively. It turns out that they are waiting in line for seven pots to wrap chicken fillet, which is the number one person on our task list and one of the famous "five wonders".

Seeing this, we immediately plunged into the vast sea of people, but we have already ranked No.31.

Previously, I had tasted this famous local dish in an old chef who was recognized as the birthplace of pot-stewed meat. I don't know what the secret recipe of the old chef is, but the practice of Qizi should belong to the simplified version.

Pat chicken fillet with dry powder instead of hanging paste, skip the re-frying step after once oiling, put it directly into the preheated sweet and sour sauce pot, and then put it into a bowl for guests to eat.

To put it bluntly, chicken fillet wrapped in pot is ordinary fried chicken with unique flavor. The glittering fried clothes are not crisp, but they are not heavy, and they are especially fragrant because they are fried now. The heat also makes the sweet and sour sweet and sour sauce volatilize at will, which is very sultry and only prepares for the next round of waking up the stomach.

While waiting for Qizai, we sneaked into another booth to queue up to buy tickets, but we forgot which one. We may have chosen Sanhe Grilled Cold Noodles, another specialty of Longjiang and the "Five Musts" of Normal University.

As one of the early pioneers of the night market, this store has a good reputation and a steady stream of business. In the scene of three rivers swallowing mountains and rivers, the "assembly line" runs smoothly and ten pieces of dough are processed at the same time. The female boss asked who didn't want coriander, onion and garlic.

Then pour the egg liquid from one side to the other, spread it evenly with a spatula, turn each piece upside down, and add many materials, including several powders, sauces, auxiliary materials, and different sausages selected by customers.

Then open a corner of each skin and squeeze some oil on the iron plate, which will arouse the sound of "zi zi" and the smell of burnt eggs to fill the senses. After the folded cold noodles are brushed with sauce, they are handed over to the male boss, who cuts them into regular small pieces under his neat double shovel and turns them into things in the bowl.

This pork sausage roasted cold noodles can see red sauce, yellow eggs and green leaves, and the greedy insects are hooked out; When you put it in your mouth, you will get the standard sweet and sour taste, the special texture of spicy garlic, bitter coriander, salted sausage and burnt glutinous rice.

Colorful and balanced, although it is a "mass-produced" cheap snack, it can capture the heart, and the night market in other places may not be found.

Speaking of foreign night markets, iron squid is almost everywhere, so I skipped Liu Jia squid, but Niuyidou, which is also a "five-stop" next door, needs to try. After all, the destinations of this trip to Harbin are all formal facades, so we can only rely on the night market to taste "cheap goods".

The sunset glow is slowly floating over the night market, and the red heating tube in the baking tank is full of horsepower. There are boiling gravy oil bubbles on the surface of the ingredients, which exudes attractive burnt fragrance.

Signature lamb chops and kidney with garlic moss. Although due to the management requirements of the night market, only gas or electric stove is allowed, and the finished product lacks charcoal fire, the seasoning at the right temperature and time is enough to suppress odor and odor.

The skin of the kidney is burnt, but the tooth feeling inside seems to be comparable to that of egg soup. However, lamb chops are even more gratifying. A piece of brown mutton with two green garlic seedlings is golden. Each bite must be accompanied by two kinds. The latter is used to modify and improve the taste of the former, and the fat and fragrance complement each other.

Fighting loudly is really "eight fights high in taste."

Another loud presence is Yan Shouyi, even louder. I heard it was a visitor from Xiangfang Night Market. Later, it was discovered that Yan family blossomed everywhere in Harbin. In addition to franchise stores, there may be some fake stores that play the edge ball. I don't know the origin of this stall in the night market of Normal University.

I also ordered kidney and lamb chops with garlic moss. The kidney is fragrant but slightly over-cooked, and the fat in the mouth is not enough;

Lamb chops have a lot of face, garlic seedlings are sweet and crisp, mutton is tender but not greasy, both of them are in the mouth, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, which makes people want to stop. Happy, no loss in a fight, half a catty.

At this point, our task has been completed, and the rest of the time and belly space are free to move. Not far from Yan Shouyi is Kong Yi's stinky tofu. I have seen this font name in some raiders. Since it is nearby and there are many people, let's go and have a look.

The inspiration of the name is undoubtedly Lu Xun's Kong Yiji. While waiting, he asked the boss if Shaoxing stinky tofu. Seeing that other customers had just left, he quietly but frankly replied "yes, but not authentic".

"Not authentic" is the truth. Most of the stinky tofu in domestic night markets is stinky tofu in Changsha (a Wenheyou old Changsha stinky tofu mobile dining car is parked at one end of Wenxing Street), but Shaoxing stinky tofu is also very popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. As far as the snack form is concerned, it has been tasted in Wuzhen Zhaxi Scenic Area and other places, and it often appears on the table.

Just before the release of this batch of Harbin food records, I had a rest in Shaoxing for a period of time, and met Kong Yiji restaurant, looking for authentic Shaoxing stinky tofu, which was really far from authentic.

We ordered a small bowl of garlic-flavored stinky tofu. Other styles, such as spicy, are available, but this one is different from the sweet noodle sauce and Chili sauce on Shaoxing street. In fact, it is more like imitating Changsha stinky tofu.

Under the superfluous embellishment, the golden appearance of tofu can't be seen clearly, and the sauce quickly erodes and softens the crispy skin, partially drowning the "soul" endowed by the stinky amaranth stalk.

But then again, authentic and delicious are two different things. Qi Fei smells musty and garlic. The strong taste penetrates the mouth, and the stimulation and sweetness of onion and coriander ripple at the chewing place. No wonder it is still notorious for its "stink" in the night market of Normal University, which is full of fragrance.

There are several places that serve fried tripe, but we didn't find anything that all mankind are pushing, so we visited Cui Ji in old Beijing and complained bitterly. The big red house was very eye-catching.

There are sheep tripe, tripe and tripe kernel to choose from, and choose the most expensive one. The belly kernel is a peeled belly collar, and the small meat tube in the rumen can't produce a few grams on a few kilograms of sheep, which belongs to the top grade of fried belly, just like crescent meat in fish.

The common method of soup explosion/water explosion is to quickly cook cooked food in soup for three or two times, then give it to the next person and sprinkle with sesame sauce, spicy oil, coriander and other seasonings.

The abdomen should be a small cylinder, which is crunchy to bite. I don't know how to slice it, and I can't even tell whether it's a belly or not, and it's also mixed with several common sandan. The delicious food is not hard, and I didn't bite my teeth.

Repeated bombing of heavy snacks will inevitably lead to dry throat and lips. We have helped the colorful music bar twice and tried two cool small champagne sodas brewed by Ice City.

In today's era of developed e-commerce, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy it online, but many on-site foods can't even be bought, so if you want to bake cold noodles and sip small champagne, you have to be in Harbin!

For the old Harbin people who can get cold noodles at hand, it is estimated that there is no motivation to join in the fun and avoid potential health risks. But for tourists with limited time and opportunities, the night market of Normal University is a shortcut to taste local snacks.

PPS: It was September, and most of the food in the picture was short sleeves. However, when it is cold, it seems that the night market will gradually become deserted, and some stalls will enter a "hibernation" state, so be careful not to fan the air.
