Although the summer is stuffy and hot, there is always one benefit: this is a good season to eat food stalls.
Ladies can temporarily put down their image in the food stalls. Anyway, when they are young, they always have to wear both hands, right? The big men can even ignore their image on the streets late at night. Some people even just bare their backs and throw their arms around and pick up skewers and drink beer. This is a privilege in summer.
No matter which city, food stalls are always popular
Is there a night market in ancient times? If so, how did the ancients practice stalls? It’s hard to get hot summer. In summer evenings, I’m blowing the air conditioner and eating watermelon at home. Teacher Fay will travel with you~
Friendly reminder, I’ll take you, you’ll bring your money!
Poor people of the Tang Dynasty
I will not take you to the Tang Dynasty because there were no night markets in the Tang Dynasty and before. (Spread your hands)
The business hours of shops in the Tang Dynasty are basically limited to the morning, and they gradually dissipate after noon, and a curfew is imposed at night, except for the three days of the Lantern Festival. The curfew system in the Tang Dynasty was very strict. The poet Wen Tingyun once had a night because of drunkenness and "being tied to Yuhou, and his face was broken and his teeth were broken."
: Wen Tingyun looks good—— (scratching her head, I don’t know how to describe it) is more at will, and people at that time gave him the nickname “Wen Zhongkui”. It’s not his fault to be abstract, but it’s his fault if he doesn’t like to dress up. The old Tang Book said that he “don’t clone his outfit”, while the new Tang Book said that he “has no graphic”. Now that I can’t see the image and face that are not very good-looking is beaten up, and I can’t see it anymore. Wen Feiqing, Wen Feiqing, I’ve lost all my face.
In short, the people of the Tang Dynasty were quite pitiful in this regard. They could only stay at home obediently at night. If they were hungry in the middle of the night, they wanted to find a friend to eat and drink - that was basically impossible.
is embarrassing, but Wen Feiqing's poems are pretty good
Why did there be night markets in the Song Dynasty
Until the late Tang Dynasty, the curfew gradually relaxed, and there were sporadic night markets and morning markets.
Northern Song Bianjing (now Kaifeng ) is very different. As the country's political and cultural center and trade hub, Bianjing has developed economy, prosperous industries, and rich and colorful urban life. At that time, Bianjing was already a big city with a population of more than one million, especially in the Song Dynasty, which broke the boundary between cities and fang. There were various shops in residential areas, so life became more convenient. According to records, there are more than 6,400 shops in Bianjing City, and more than 20 commercial and catering markets of varying sizes.
On April 13, the third year of Qiande (965 AD), Taizu of the Song Dynasty issued an edict, "It is ordered that the night market in the capital have arrived to the Sangu, and it cannot be banned." (I really understand the voice of foodies, moved) From then on, the food night market began to appear and became increasingly prosperous. Even if there are heavy snow and snow in winter, the night market will continue to operate.
It turns out that with reasonable urban planning and practical business policies, the market will prosper. This is how the Song Dynasty started to have night markets, and they became more and more popular every day.
Every time I read "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", I really want to go shopping in the Song Dynasty
Go and visit Zhouqiao Night Market
Otherwise, I will take you to visit? The famous night markets in Bianjing City include Zhouqiao Night Market, Maxing Street Night Market, and night markets such as the center of the street, Panlou Hotel, and Tushizi Congxing Gujiao. We walked around nearby - from Yujie Street to Zhuque Gate, outside Zhuque Gate, the area between the north foot of Longjin Bridge and the south foot of Zhouqiao, this is the famous Zhouqiao Night Market.
: There are all kinds of snacks such as rice, porridge, dried jerky, etc., and there are stalls on the street, which is very attractive. And most importantly, the price is not expensive! ! ! The famous Meijia and Lujia sell geese, duck, chicken, rabbit belly, lung eel buns, chicken skin, waist and kidney, chicken crushes, etc., all sold in the famous Meijia and Lujia, are 15 yuan (15 articles)! All are fifteen yuan! All fifteen yuan! (The boss ran away...)
The fresh snacks sold at the night market also vary according to the season. In summer, there are appetizers and cool desserts such as roe chicken skin, erotic powder, vegetarian sticks, sand sugar, ice and snow cold yuanzi, crystal horns, raw water papaya, medicinal papaya, licorice ice and snow, and other appetizers and cool desserts (I couldn't help but eat a popsicle when I talked about this); in winter, it is served with nutritious meat such as rabbit, roasted pork skin, wild duck meat, drizzle, crystal horn, fried horn, and pig dirt. (I really want to eat it...)
Zhouqiao Night Market not only sells snacks, but also sells them with tea and drinks. It can be said to be a diversified business.
zhouqiao Night Market, probably like this
Maxing Night Market has no mosquitoes
If you want to talk about the largest and most lively night market in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is Maxing Street. Maxing Street Night Market is a hundred times more prosperous than Zhouqiao Night Market. It is not until the third update that it gradually disperses. Note that this is just the first batch. When the fifth update, the second batch of night owls arrived, and the night market opened again, and it is unceasing.
Only at the third update of the night market in Maxing Street, people who carried a water bottle to sell tea came out for a walk, because at that time, people often had to be busy until midnight to go home. The nightlife of the Song people was very special and quite rich.
Maxing Street Night Market is the most suitable place for practicing stalls in summer. Why? There are no mosquitoes there! " Tieweishan Congtan " by Cai Jian of the Song Dynasty records, "The world is bitter and mosquitoes and gnats, but there is no such thing as Dumaxing Street in the capital. Maxing Street is the night market in the capital, and the restaurant is very prosperous. Mosquitoes and gnats are noisy, while Maxing Street is noisy and the lights shine on the sky. Every time the four drums are over, mosquitoes will never be eliminated."
- The lights lit up all night in the night market and the oil smoke produced by cooking dishes make it difficult for mosquitoes and flies to stay. Friends who recruit mosquitoes can grill skewers at home and stir-fry dishes. Don't turn on the range hood, which may be a good recipe for mosquito repellent. Although
sounds a bit exaggerated, you can imagine that the grand scenery of the night market back then is probably comparable to the current Beijing Guijie , Shanghai Nanjing Road, and Taipei Shilin Night Market.
famous gourmet Su Shi teacher must also love practicing stalls. More than 0 years later, he recalled affectionately: "The horse's lights are remembering the past"
I really want to eat cold drinks in the Song Dynasty
"The streets are buying and selling day and night, and the three or four drums are exchanged at night, and tourists are becoming rare. The bell rings at the fifth hour, and those who sell morning markets open again." Ah, from " Menglianglu ", we see that the size of the night market in the Southern Song Dynasty Lin'an (now Hangzhou) is much higher than that in Kaifeng. Let's go and have a walk.
The Southern Song people can also eat it, such as the fried white intestines in front of the tile, the pyroacid stuffing in the west market, the Chengsha dumplings in Xiaorenfang, the ten-color flower candy in Zhong'anqiao, plus mutton fat leek cakes, roe sheep hooves, roe crabs, spicy lung filling, vegetarian powder soup, clear juice field snail soup, and sheep blood soup... Standing on the street, looking over, there are a wide variety of snacks, you can all play stand-up crosstalk on the street to sign up for the dish.
But the most attractive thing in this season is of course cold drinks. We just ate cold drinks such as sugar ice and snow cold Yuanzi, crystal horn, raw water papaya, medicinal papaya, licorice ice and snow at the street stall in Bianjing. But don’t eat too much. There are many cold drink stores in Lin'an Night Market! (What a good person in the Song Dynasty who knows how to live!!!)
reminds you to eat carefully and eat it carefully. The cold drinks in the Song Dynasty are made of natural ice stored in kilns and ingredients, and are not that clean.
Either it is a slurry drink made of juice, honey, milk, red beans, mung beans and other condiments. It is not much the same as what you often eat now, but they do not have pigments or other additives; or they use Chinese herbal medicines and honey, and then boil the ice pads and ice it underneath, by the way, it is Jiaduobao of the Song Dynasty; friends who don’t drive, have prepared a better sweet fruit wine with ice for you... But don’t get drunk, why should I take you back?
