But in my mind, Fuyang is a very northern city, and more and more northern.
Food: very chaotic, very rich
The beauty of Fuyang snacks, all lies in the richness of this chaos, and then simple snacks, the flavor of all to have many layers.
South people eat rice, North people eat noodles. It is necessary to strictly key words, inevitably biased, but said that this is a big trend, basically no problem. Fuyang's food, mostly noodle-based, I loved to go to the grain store when I was a child, not love those rice and white flour, is like to see the spectacular deep-fried deep-fried noodle cakes placed there, a golden plate, yard like a small mountain, the oil fragrance overflowing, and now I see the word "rice rotten storehouse", will be very unreasonable to think of that scene.
Later, I realized that deep-fried noodle cake is the invention of the minority brothers, and it is still the main character in the food of Eid Festival, and it is so popular in Fuyang, which has something to do with the fact that it's a multi-ethnic city. A lot of food in Fuyang has a kind of exotic atmosphere as if it has to be found in the northwest. When I was a child, I went to the night market with my parents and saw the wooden signboard of "Halal Gate" in addition to vapor lamps on the picks of snacks. Later, the wooden sign gradually disappeared, thinking about it is melancholy. A few years ago, I went to Kaifeng, where the food stalls and see such a wooden sign, like childhood again, and the ecstasy of reunion with the deceased.
Although that sign rarely hangs out, but Fuyang's food, more than a non-Han rough and rich. For example, Gera strip, rolled out by machine, a kind of like noodles, more round and thick pasta, outsiders hit the side of a look, always do not understand what this thing is good to eat, but I miss the taste of home, the most remembered, is this low-key simple Gera strip.
The flavor of the grappa, have to match the colorful ingredients and toppings can be reflected. The main ingredients are chili oil and sesame sauce. The spicy chili oil and the sesame sauce are mixed together to create a spicy and aromatic combination. Ingredients are no certain rules, but also the most important thing to determine the success or failure of a salad bar store, usually for the beans and bean sprouts of the genus, to be more sophisticated, it will add a lot of reasonable and unexpected things. I often go to a small town, more than a crushed peanut rice, it seems very common, but the strength and taste of the grappa itself, bean curd and bean sprouts with different textures of fresh and crisp, are on the soft side, the only crushed peanut grains fragrant and slightly hard, it is just right so a little bit of dialing, because of the fine crushed and do not steal the limelight ten into the wind. Will be all of the above, put together to chew, is a kind of beauty of the world are between the lips and teeth of the rich, at least at that moment, I am satisfied with life.
The beauty of Fuyang snacks, all lies in the richness of this chaos, and then simple snacks, there are many layers in the flavor. Sesame sauce with special flavor ability, active in a variety of snacks on top, I eat cold skin in Hefei often feel bland, is because of less sesame sauce mixing, chili oil and soy sauce vinegar they go their own way, can't form a sense of mastic in me and me in you.
Fuyang is always deliberate to the simplest, do not simple, I read when the school gate sells eight treasure porridge, but a few cents a bowl, but there are lotus root powder sesame wheat kernel raisins rose and other dozen kinds of raw materials, sell eight treasure porridge woman, very patiently, playing in front of the bottles and jars to take out, put into a small ceramic bowl, and then will be a long spouted copper kettle of hot water slowly blended into the lotus root powder into translucent paste, colorful, colorful, and so on, and so forth. The colorful ingredients fall into it, seeping into each other, losing themselves, becoming a charming scenery in our mouths and tongues.
Generally speaking, the city is more and more no style, these two years back to Fuyang, but see its northern characteristics more and more intense, my good friend took me to the Fu Wang Road area to eat snacks, surprisingly, sheep's head and hooves, a good piece of boiled in an iron pot, hot steam, to eat on the now Sheng up. Although I did not dare to ask, but in the cold weather, sitting in the oil smoke smoked pitch-black store, looking out at the road outside the flow of people coming and going, as well as farther away on the Qinghe Square that is babbling Yu opera stage, for a time, there is a kind of far away in a daze. Yes, life is elsewhere, when we are far from home, in a foreign country to survive, was again and again looking back at home, also became worth savoring elsewhere.
The beauty: the tough women
I know Fuyang women, there are a lot of very tossing women, life goes on, tossing more than.
After talking about food, it's the turn of beautiful women. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find the best way to do this, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to do this, and I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to do this. Then our director helped me to popularize the knowledge of statistics, I saw the largest number of beautiful women in Fuyang because I stayed in the city for the longest period of time, and if I could take the number and divide it by the time accurately, I would find that it is not so.
But in any case, walking in the streets of Fuyang, you must not feel lonely, perhaps relatively close to the Huaihe River, the two sides of the stragglers come and go, the advantages of the combination of north and south is reflected in the appearance. The girls in Fuyang, generally speaking, skin and features hardware are said to pass. On the other hand, although Fuyang is a small city, but very concerned about dress. Half a year ago, the publishing company's planning and I went to Fuyang book signing, a raised his eyes to see a specialty store, very surprised, according to him, is in Beijing, only in the more upscale shopping malls, you can see the figure of this specialty store. Writing here I think of one thing, the old people criticized me after marriage and children do not repair, and was deteriorating trend, in fact, my image of the index is low, not necessarily related to my family life, more likely, is that I left Fuyang more and more years, it is more and more influence on me less and less.
In any case, the appearance alone, excluding personal feelings, Fuyang women are not much more special than women in other places. Personally, I thought, my country women win in character, of course, every place has a variety of personality, I said, or my personal experience, or, on my sight within the more prominent group.
In Fuyang, there are a lot of women like my mom who are kind of warm and gentle, and perhaps also occupy the majority. However, you know, like my mother this kind of person is nothing to write about, the color of the body is too light, living too flat, playing small I am interested in with my mother is completely different from the class, how to describe them? With people say my male hometown Cao Cao's words: the rule of the world's capable subjects, the chaotic world of the lords.
This type of woman is characterized by outstanding looks, smart and capable, if you meet someone very lady, they are absolutely out of the hall under the kitchen of the perfect housewife, big and small can play around with the smooth. However, because they come with some excellent temperament, there are more expectations for life, if you meet someone who is not good, "marry the chicken with the chicken marry the dog with the dog" this sentence for them, is simply a ridiculous reason, they will never go with the flow, willing to be at the mercy of fate, that fight reflected in the eyes of others, into the two words called "The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
I know the Fuyang women, there are many very tossing women, life is not endless, tossing more than, they must cohesion of all their energy, see all the dreams are shining. They are also generally not willing to be stuck in a small town, the goal is always in the distance, in the dry into a career at the same time, but also tend to leave a lot of topics for others, not long ago frequently on the entertainment headlines of Pan Wei you know it? Seeing the photo I just remembered, this is not our Fuyang woman, often looking for my brother Danyu photographed that beauty? Her relationship problems we do not discuss here, look at the media reports, she loves golf, good cooking, like to clean up the house, often put a book next to the bed, that the upward trend, but the full show Fuyang women's true colors.
Beautiful scene: the garden of Commander You
The garden of the You family, is a You commander built, and the You commander, and my family still have some of the eight rod may be able to play to the relatives.
Next, it is time to talk about the beauty of the scenery, although I very much want to show off the beauty of our hometown, thought of a good Baidu, and then I am good at rhetoric, the data and nouns become beautiful, but a writer's conscience prevents me from doing so, think again and again, I have to admit, my hometown, is not a place where the scenery is good.
I remember when I was in elementary school, the teacher took us on a spring trip, the first year was Qingying Park, the second year was Kuixinglou - we called it a three-story tower, the third year was Wenchangge - we called it a seven-story tower, and the third year was a trip to the West Lake in Yingzhou. --The above, all some very roadside scenery, the local literati may be able to carefully search the history, put together a gorgeous article, but in every county-level city in China, you can find the scenery is not close to it.
Going back to my elementary school days, this is not the fourth year, there is no place to go locally, the teacher deliberated and deliberated, and decided to take a chance and take us on a trip to a nearby county, Yingshang County, where I was born, to visit the Youjia Garden there.
Yingshang County was part of the then Fuyang region, now Fuyang City, and I don't think it's too far-fetched to include that landscape in my article. It was a place of fish and rice, near the Huaihe River, with water branches, and my father even wrote a poem about it, the exact lines of which I forget, but in any case, more than the urban area of Fuyang, that is.
Today's Yingshang County, just like a tourist attraction, Xiao Zhangzhuang, eight miles of river, a tourist season, in the major newspapers to brush out the ads, but these are later built in my distant childhood, a talk of going to Yingshang to play, the Youjiajian Garden is the first choice.
You family garden in Yingshang County, a few kilometers west of the city, flowers and leaves, grass and trees, as a child do not know what it is good, just to see a lot of rare plants, collected a number of uncommon to the fruits, go back to the small partners, but also the same lovely gift.
Later, I heard my grandma say, this Youjia Garden, is a You surname Beiyang Commander built, and this You Commander, and my family still have some of the eight pole may be able to play to the relative relationship it. I'm very proud of what I've heard, so I asked my grandma to tell me more about it, but she couldn't, because it's a relative of my grandpa's side of the family. Go to ask my grandpa, he said, not relatives at all, but does have a bit of relationship. When he was working in the Yingshang County Public Security Bureau, Commander You, as a detained prisoner, often went to help them to take care of flowers and plants.
Listening to my grandfather said, after the liberation of the seven counties in western Henan, served as a "commander of the bandits" You Yinxuan because of conceivable reasons, was arrested and sentenced. But fortunately, he had a son, and he took a different path, in the Ministry of Water Resources or somewhere as a key position, he did not have to suffer the pain of detention, in the Public Security Bureau of the compound pruning flowers.
Commander You is a bit like a flower like life in the fall, it seems that not yet to liberation, he has been reclusive, the military life into the back of the mind, only that a garden of flowers, is his life depends on. Because of this, the conversion of the situation does not let him how painful, he was in the Public Security Bureau compound, peacefully, wholeheartedly guarded the flowers and plants, as if to find the soul of the place of security.
My grandfather, they also have flowers in the office, just not so carefully, and sometimes go to the countryside to do a case, ten days and a half months to come back, the delicate point of the flowers and plants on the half dead. The first time I saw this, I was able to get the money to pay for it, and I was able to get the money to pay for it, and I was able to get the money to pay for it.
Listening to my granddaughter, I thought, how can I say, at that time, you commander is also still considered a body with a crime, even dared to talk to my public security police, in addition to his son's relationship, probably more because of his love of flowers and plants, so that he could not care about the other right.
I asked my grandpa what Commander You look like, he said, is a little old man, but looks particularly clean, spirit, so I saw in that huge garden, a particularly clean, spirit of the little old man, and his little flowers and plants to look at the eyes, eyes far away, love deep long.
Such a man, why would he go to the army, and what made him put down his weapons and pick up the flower hoe, there should be a very special story behind it. Perhaps one day I will be able to understand the ins and outs of this story, and then write it down.
One more thing that I would like to mention is that Yingshang, which is the background of this story, has left me a complete impression of the county in addition to the natural scenery.
In the early years, I walked with my grandma on the street, three steps to meet an acquaintance, all the way to say hello, exchanges of parents and shortcomings.
Narrow alleys, there is always a banging stone road, and more let me feel a certain kind of poetry can be called timeless, is the county of those mornings. At the bottom of the steps of the department store, there were old farmers squatting there to sell something, or a few onions, or a wisp of tobacco, all sold for just a few cents, so small a business that when I think of it now, I can't help but think of the saying that what they were selling wasn't something, it was loneliness.
