What kind of experience is it in Sichuan?

If you go to a new place, where do you like to go best?

Whenever I go to a new place, my favorite place is the local vegetable market.

However, in Sichuan, if you happen to meet the local Rush, it will be a wonderful thing.

Sichuan, Luzhou, Lantian.

Today, we still keep the habit of rushing to the scene every morning on the first, fourth and seventh day of the lunar calendar.

It's winter in Luzhou, and it's a little late at dawn. In this way, after 8 o'clock, Lantian will gradually become lively and last until noon.

The attendance rate of Lantianba is mostly concentrated in several streets around Niu Niu Kans. Attendance day, although most of the people who come to attend attendance are old people, also makes these streets lively immediately.

Vegetables and fruits are always the main theme of the market. Zhang Ailing once wrote: "If you can't see eggplant in the countryside, go to the food market and have a look-it's so complicated and oily purple; New green peas, cooked peppers and golden gluten are like soap bubbles in the sun. " Nowadays, the transportation is convenient, and the ingredients are no longer limited to the original place of origin, and the scope of circulation is far and wide.

In Lantian market, not only local seasonal fruits and vegetables are sold, but also jackfruit in Hainan, cabbage in Yunnan, potatoes in Inner Mongolia, radishes in Northeast China and persimmons in Shaanxi have begun to appear here in black and pink.

Most local farmers sell fresh vegetables and eggs in their fields. The price will also be cheaper than that in the supermarket.

Just in time for the olive season, I bought a catty for 5 yuan, threw one in my mouth and chewed it slowly. This bitter and sweet taste is really charming. Is it like our expectation of life?

This kind of plant with small purple flowers is called Mujiangcai locally. When you pick it up, it tastes as spicy as mint. Locals often use it for seasoning and dipping in water, especially when eating tofu pudding.

The middle-aged boss of bamboo products shop is not good at words and is not keen on soliciting business. Goods are placed along the street. If he wants to buy, he needs to make an inquiry in front of the boss with something. Most of the time, he kept his head down and sorted out bamboo products such as backpacks, bamboo stools, baskets and bamboo baskets that were common in Sichuan's daily life for decades.

As a wine city, Luzhou is naturally occupied by various private wineries in the market. The price of these wines ranges from a few dollars to dozens of dollars per catty. Distiller's grains are piled up in front of my house, and the smell of wine is floating all over the street. And "it is baked and sold now, but processed with imported materials" is a selling point, attracting many people to visit. Taste the wine before you buy it. Sometimes, I am really afraid that if this restaurant drinks, I will get drunk in this morning market.

Bundles of tobacco sold attracted my attention. The consumers of these cigarettes made by drying tobacco leaves are basically elderly people. For decades, they have always preferred the rich flavor of tobacco leaves.

The old man stuffed tobacco leaves into the hookah, took a deep breath and said with a smile, "This kind of tobacco leaves only taste when smoked."

Sichuanese like to sit in teahouses, and Luzhou is no exception. The spectacular scene of drinking Baba tea like this can only be seen in Sichuan and Chongqing! Here, as long as you pay 5 yuan for a cup of tea and make a bowl of tea, you can chat and play cards all over the world like this group of old people, and your life is so comfortable.

Strangely, most of the people in the teahouse are elderly men, and seldom see the old ladies. So I asked the boss curiously, and the boss smiled and said, "Because all the aunts went to play mahjong!" "

There are many vendors selling herbs in the market. These plants, which I can't name, whether dry or fresh, are classified and placed, and are endowed with magical healing power. Older people seem to have a soft spot for these plants, and they can often be seen carefully selected in front of the booth.

"This is money grass. It is very helpful for treating stones. " The old man who bought herbs told me.

Here, you can always see all kinds of "magic doctors" with stunts and wandering among the people.

Rapeseed oil squeezed by indigenous method has a special taste, which is called "green taste" by the people. Some people don't quite accept this taste, but in Sichuan, many families eat this oil. In the small workshop of indigenous oil production, rapeseed oil is poured out of the machine in Huang Cancan, and the oil residue is pressed into khaki flakes and piled aside, which can be sold separately, so it is a good fertilizer for flower cultivation.

The shopkeeper lit an oil lamp at the gate of the oil mill to show off his excellent oil products.

Most of the mutton in southwest Sichuan is local black goat, with skin and firm meat. According to local customs, mutton is best eaten only in winter. A pot of steaming mutton in red soup, stuffed with a handful of finely chopped parsley, is definitely the warmest existence in winter.

At this time, it is the season of making bacon in Sichuan, so there are many vendors selling meat. Compared with Beijing's meat, Sichuan's pork feels fatter, and sausage bacon made of this kind of meat is naturally more delicious.

Large pieces of pork are thoroughly decomposed, coated with salt and spices, and hung high in the shade to dry, which is a unique scenery in Sichuan this season.

If it's too much trouble to make sausages and bacon yourself, there are naturally finished products to choose from. The shop is full of dried ribs, dried pig's trotters, dried chicken, dried salted duck, sausages and bacon.

There are freshly slaughtered chickens and ducks for sale in the market. If you think the whole thing is too big, you can just eat half of it. Fresh-cut chicken breast, chicken legs and chicken wings are your choice.

The vendor put some salt water in the stainless steel bowl and poured the blood of chickens and ducks into it, which quickly solidified into blood. Blood fields are sold by bowls, 2 yuan/bowls. This kind of blood tofu tastes much smoother than the blood tofu bought in the supermarket on weekdays.

Luzhou is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Tuojiang River, and it is naturally rich in fish resources. Besides grass carp, carp and silver carp, some rare fish can be seen in the market.

Buying fish here, the fishmonger can not only help you kill the fish, but also slice or chop it according to your needs.

The fishmonger is skilled, only to see that his hands are full of knives. After a while, a big fish was broken down and turned into a fish fillet wrapped in a plastic bag.

When you visit the market, you will always get some laughter. For example, this kiwi brand took me a long time to understand. Its creator is an aunt. When I looked at her brand and smiled, she laughed with me, revealing a childlike innocence and innocence.

When you are tired of shopping, sit down, spend a few dollars and eat a bowl of tofu pudding rice.

Tofu pudding is tender and soft, but it is "complicated" but not greasy when dipped in water: spices such as pepper, soy sauce, pepper powder, rapeseed oil and chopped green onion are placed on the table in turn, and litsea nut oil is the finishing touch, and guests can mix it according to their own tastes.

Vegetarian tofu pudding is baptized with red oil and eaten with water. There are many customs. Sometimes you can eat a big bowl of rice just by dipping in some water.

Rice cake is one of the famous snacks in Luzhou. In the market, 1 yuan can buy 3 yuan. Sweet and sour, soft and waxy, with a faint bouquet after fermentation. Definitely worth a try.

Ba Huang is also a unique local snack, made of glutinous rice and brown sugar. Golden color and strong aroma. It is unique in that the packaging material is beam, and the fragrance comes from the aromatic oil contained in beam. Ba Huang, which has just been steamed, smells fragrant. After cooling, it can be sliced and fried, or boiled in boiling water, which has a special flavor.

There are also some magical things in the market, for example, the elder sister who can watch the futures meeting, the elder sister who can watch the water bowl, the elder sister who can burn eggs, and the geomancer who has been handed down for eight generations.

Watching the meeting should be a local saying in Sichuan, which is equivalent to what we call "watching the day" on weekdays, but I really don't know what the operation is to burn eggs and watch the water bowl.

The young man with dirty pigtails on his head was selling his handmade ornaments in the market, and the aunts also bought them and chose them happily.

The fire in the vegetable market is in full swing here recently. In front of all kinds of clothing stalls with banners such as "factory clearance" and "jumping off a building for sale", the aunts who love beauty gathered around and expressed their love for life with their aesthetics.

In these ancient streets in Lantian, interesting things are far more than these. The taste of rice, oil and salt is on the left, and the whimsy is on the right. Common elements and minority styles get along well in the market, and you need to appreciate the excitement in person.

This is the most authentic human fireworks, lively and smart, just like the nerve endings of this city.

Gu Long once said: If a person is desperate and wants to commit suicide, let him go to the vegetable market. If this person is lucky enough to catch up with a show here, not only has a steaming human touch, but also a down-to-earth dinner, it should be difficult to be unhappy again!

I'm Ann Su Ran, a veteran fan of The Good Life. I am willing to share with you the tiny happiness in this world.
