Shichahai there is much more delicious.

The mention of Shichahai in Beijing is very kind to the indigenous people in Beijing. In the past, the Three Seas were forbidden areas, and it was really difficult for residents in the city to find a place to escape from the summer. Some are too far away, and some have been abandoned and need not be repaired. Only Shichahai is located in downtown, and summer is a rare place to cool off in the city. With the passage of time, business clusters have become a summer market.

The whole water area of Shichahai was collectively called Haizi in Yuan Dynasty. The front is close to Beihai Palace Wall and the east is close to Di 'anmen, which is the location of Shichahai Market. The central part is called Houhai, with excellent scenery and a large mansion. Then diagonally to the northwest, across Desheng Bridge, is Jishuitan.

This part of Shichahai is not large. Near the city, weeping willows are planted along the banks. In summer, the sun is shaded, and the breeze is Xu Lai. Lotus root and water chestnut are planted all over the lake. In midsummer, the water near it is light green. Lotus is in full bloom, and the roads and houses in this area are soaked in bursts of lotus fragrance. It can be described as a clear rhyme, and the dust breath is unique. Near the shallow water of the levee, there are many reeds and the shore is covered with reeds. In autumn, it is full of rustling feelings. Now that it has become a fair, it may be ok at first, a little cold. Later, the market was full of dramas, gongs and drums, and tourists jostled each other. Its attraction lies in the teahouse. In addition, there are lotus roots produced in this lake pond, which are now on sale. There are also several kinds of snacks unique to Shichahai, which are not available elsewhere.

Shichahai tea sheds are all among the lotus bushes in Lu 'an. Build a shed above the bank with reed mats. Below is a strong wooden support, inserted in the river mud, covered with boards and covered with reed mats, like a high platform by the water. The edge of the high platform, reaching out to the water, overlooks the lotus pond, and is in the fundus. This is a "scenic spot" for Shichahai tea shed to enjoy the cool. Although the reed shed is poorly equipped, its internal layout is comfortable. More elegant, with rattan chairs and white cloth on the table, single tea is not expensive. There are no fewer than ten tea sheds along the embankment, and they are often full. Let's talk about Shichahai's special snacks again.

It is said that the meat produced in Suzhou comes from the Qing palace and is a home-cooked dish of the Qing palace. After the Qing dynasty, the original chef spread this rule to the people, and from then on, there was meat produced in Suzhou in Beijing. It is said that this meat is cooked with two kinds of soups. One is soup stock, and the other is soup made by Sue. Soup stock is the original soup of cook the meat. Degreasing and sealing after use can be used step by step year by year. When in use, fresh water and seasoning are added daily, and the old and the new are mixed. The longer it gets, the stronger it tastes, so it is called soup stock. There are many famous sauces in Beijing that use old soup. Su Zao Tang is a soup made of drugs, spices and soy sauce, and it is also replaced by adding new ingredients every day. It is said that its medicinal materials and spices are originally divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter. The main ingredients are just cloves, cinnamon, licorice, Amomum villosum, cinnamon and cardamom. Cook the meat, soup stock, is cooked thoroughly with Suzao soup, which is also called Suzao meat.

The raw materials for meat production in Suzhou are nothing more than pork and internal organs. All the liver, intestines, heart, lungs and stomach are cooked together and put on the edge of the pot, so that anyone can choose and evaluate the price according to the quantity. Then cut into small pieces, pour the original soup, add seasoning, serve with wine or eat with a fork. It is a famous dish in Shichahai market, and everyone who likes it is regarded as a delicacy. This kind of food is still available in Beijing at present.

The market in Shichahai sells meat made in the Soviet Union in a shed, like a small restaurant. There are wine and vegetables, and there is a kind of "meat pie". It is a thick cake with meat stuffing and eggs embedded in between, made of multiple layers of meat and eggs, deeply fried and sold by weight. Rich in oil and water, soft and fragrant, with both egg and cake fragrance. It's delicious.

Most of the stalls in these small restaurants are located on the west side of the sidewalk, and behind the stalls is the direct western sun. At three or four o'clock in the midsummer, sitting in a steaming summer mat shed, eating greasy pig offal, drinking spicy mouth knives (sorghum wine) and chewing profusely is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Lotus seed porridge. Another specialty of Shichahai is lotus seed porridge. The porridge is cooked properly with glutinous rice, and the lotus seeds in the porridge are all floating on the porridge surface, and then decorated with various candied fruits. Add sugar, smooth and sweet, impressive. So it's called babaolian porridge. Because it is summer, there is no need for hot porridge. Most of them are cool and palatable, and they won't sweat after eating, so they are famous. At first, it was a porter, but later it developed, and it also set up a shed and a seat to send it outside. If you drink tea in the tea shed, you can order takeout.

Lotus flowers, cruise ships, men, women and children fishing and walking around the corner ... all this seems nothing special, especially in various bars around Shichahai, where many foreigners gather.

The compatibility of classical and modern, the collision between tradition and avant-garde, the wine tasting overlooking the lake, the breeze blowing head-on, the sparkling lake, the willow trees on the cruise ship, whispering ... it really has a unique taste. This is one of the famous bars and streets in Beijing.

The joy of the market and the fragrant red wine live in peace, and the ancient courtyards and fashion trends are in their proper places. Shichahai is indeed a "Beijing feature". Bar guests who come to Shichahai pay attention to quiet in the middle of trouble. It's fake to come here to drink, but it's true to change your mood, so many bars are decorated with great care, and the ordinary courtyard of "Shuaifu" has an iron horse spirit; The "Buddha Bar" between square inches has a religious charm; "Little Wang Fu" in Qianhai has more personality. "We are looking for feelings for those who take money. No matter how rich we are, it doesn't meet our requirements. We don't serve. " The most touching thing about Shichahai Bar Street is that you can enjoy the scenery: standing on the "Yinding Bridge" and listening to the erhu on board is the most charming taste; There is also a water wax lamp, and the Iraqi people are fascinating.

Yinding Bridge is a north-south single-hole stone arch bridge, located between Houhai and Qianhai at the southern end of Dai Yan Xiejie. It is named because it looks like a silver ingot. When the weather is fine, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the western hills by standing on the Yinding Bridge. Revolutionary Wang Jingwei murdered Regent Zai Feng here.
