anchor reads classics and says good night with you! Hello everyone, this is "Lightning Night Reading". I am Ma Lin, an anchor of Ningjin Media Center. Today I will share with you the article "The Smell of Autumn" by Lin Haiyin .
Autumn is coming, and I naturally think of that place - Xidan Archway.
No matter which direction you come from, when you arrive at Xidan Archway, in autumn or dusk, you will first smell the smell on the street. The fragrance of fried chestnuts permeated the prosperous crowd. He quickly looked towards the familiar place and the guy from the Lanhao was stir-frying chestnuts in front of the door. Helan sells pastry, and fried chestnuts are not famous, but because it is the most eye-catching on the corner of the street, I can't help but go in and buy it.
, come one pound! The hot chestnuts have just been fried, so wait and pour them into a basket to sift out the sand wrapped in sugar juice. While waiting to weigh the bag, another fragrance wafted by. It turned out that on the fruit stalls on the corner of the street, dates, grapes, , crabapple , persimmons, pears, , pomegranate ... were all on the market. The fragrance is mostly emitted by pears and grapes. The grapes in Shaying are yellow and transparent, and they are both sticky and do not flow through water, so they are nicknamed "rock sugar bag". Jingbai pear , fine and tender, without any scum. "Daer Guang" is as soft as tofu. Date is the most common fruit, and Langjiayuan is the most famous place of origin, so there are no jujubes to Langjiayuan. tiger eye , gourd date , sour date , each has its own shape and taste. "Drink honey persimmons" will have to wait until winter, and the green-skinned crisp persimmons will be launched in autumn. The crisp persimmons should be sweeter if they are taller. Haitang had half a red face, and the pomegranate smiled so hard that it showed a row of pink teeth. These are all the fruits of autumn.
, holding a packet of hot chestnuts and some fruits, walked from Xidan to Xuanwumen , thinking about returning home on the square table in front of the window, with a little light in the twilight, the family sat around and peeled these delicious foods and couldn't help but speed up. There was a clang of trams behind me, and the No. 5 train was about to reach the end of Xuanwu Gate. After passing Rongshi Hutong, the smell of barbecue came from the air again. It was at the mouth of Aner Hutong that was low and narrow barbecue seemed to be a man.
There is a halal mark hanging in front of the door. They are one of the many famous Islamic temples in Beiping . Starting from autumn, Peking is the world of Islamic temples. The short and fat old fifth person cuts beef and mutton on the case, and his elder brother greets the seat at the door. His two sons, who are healthy and bright in their eyes, fully demonstrate the spirit of Muslim youth, are helping and learning the techniques of picking and cutting meat. The smoke filled the Chizi, making the originally unknown light dimmer, but in this low, smoky hut, there was another warm and intimate feeling, making people want to go in and stand next to Chizi, lifting the two big chopsticks.
Laowu is fair, so he gives people a particularly friendly feeling. It turned out to be just an bun shop , which is for selling nearby residents and passers-by to some mutton buns. Gradually, barbecue became famous, but it did not change its attitude towards customers because of this. For example, they only have two roasted chickens, and they can only surround one or two dozen people in total. However, when dusk comes, batches of guests come and there is no place to sit. It is not time to eat. Lao Wu will tell the guests that if they wait for more than twenty or thirty, then the guests will go to Xidan Pailhouse to make a turn and come back. Without a registration book, they remembered the order of coming first and coming later. Without scrambling for the first place, it is impossible to go to the line. Everything is followed by Lao Wu's arrangements. He did not have any difference because the visitor was taking a car or driving an rickshaw . This is his fairness and kindness.
Cut meat in one hand and settle accounts in the mouth. It is Lao Wu’s ability and art. He added the amount of money one by one, and did not falsely report it, and the price was fair. There, although the house is small, it is comfortable to eat. Lao Wu doesn’t smile much, but he gives you a sense of honesty and simplicity. There will be no such thing as eating to make you angry.
Autumn is the ancient capital in the north, and what represents the changing seasons is the smell of beef and mutton and the fragrance of fried chestnuts!
