What "delicious food" has disappeared in Beijing?

If we must set a background for Beijing snacks, it must be Hutong, a warm city. The picture can be a warm stomach of ordinary people in winter, or a side dish of the government. With the collapse of hutong in Beijing, high-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. In this stubborn and time-consuming competition, Beijing snacks have gradually faded out of our lives and even been forgotten with the passing of generation after generation. In fact, this is the last thing to be forgotten. Because it used to be the most accessible memory in our life.

In the memory of many old Beijingers, until the 1980s, men carrying burdens could still be seen selling instant noodles, jiaozi. On one side of the bag is a thousand-layer box, and that person sells it while steaming it, which is very fast and the "stuffing" is very neat. But the profit is low, it is difficult to start, and with the continuous renovation of hutong, the craft is gradually lost. There are many Beijing snacks that you remember or can't remember, such as our children's cakes, hard cakes, crispy knife meat, goat's milk sausages, drooping kidney beans, crispy fried fire and so on.

Green sauce meat comes from "pork strips"-old Beijing used to call pork shops "pork strips". The most famous "Pork Bar" is the "Pig Market Street" in Dongsi District, among which Puyunlou, located at the entrance of Chaonei Vegetable Market, is the best at curing pork. Pork tastes good. It tastes fragrant but not greasy, and the sauce is rich. So this so-called green sauce meat, "green" has no meaning, and "sauce" refers to yellow sauce. Since 1952, the sauce meat industry has been troubled by the intermittent supply of pigs, and the production of green sauce meat has also been suspended, so it has been at a loss.

Many authentic old Beijing snacks are gradually declining or even dying out. There are only hundreds of years of numbers left, which is really embarrassing. If you have time, go to the streets to find out if you can still find these old flavors, otherwise you will never eat them again.
