Many nights, I think about life in Tohoku. What is "hometown"?Later, I realized that what I couldn't go back to was my "hometown"!
I have lived in the Northeast for 20 years, and I have tasted the "hardships of wind and frost" in the Northeast, with material scarcity and strong folk customs. But it has also achieved a very characteristic group of people - Northeast people.
The "winter" of the Northeast is a "frozen" world. Everything is related to "freezing". Dumplings, frozen in a yard;Frozen fish and meat in large vats. In the past, material scarcity, fresh fruit did not have, "frozen pears" and.
Frozen persimmons" became delicious.
More than 20 years have passed, and I seem to have forgotten the taste. Until this winter, I saw the booming "Harbin Ice and Snow World", saw the "Southern Little Potato" conquer the entire "Northeast", and even squeezed through the "bathhouse" to experience the ...... of "bathing culture" in the NortheastIn the cold and freezing of ** street, I experienced the "Modern popsicle" and the Northeast frozen pear, and suddenly evoked the nostalgia and reluctance.
The hotel in Harbin, in order to show the friendship of the landlord and the warm and thoughtful service, cut the "frozen pears" in the northeast and put them on the plate, so that the small potatoes in the south can be tasted. As everyone knows, doing so will only backfire and be criticized. The reason why "Southern Little Potato" came to the Northeast is to experience the extreme cold, the ultimate beauty, and the difference between regional culture and the difference between the north and the south. What they need is the original taste, and what they need is the "correct way to open the frozen pear". Your service can be perfect and attentive, but be sure to follow customs and eating habits.
Why do Northeast people like to eat "cold" things in winter?For example: popsicles, frozen pears.
This is because although it is cold outside, the houses are very hot and have heating. Moreover, the Northeast is rich in resources, and the wood used for burning fires and coal are relatively cheap. Therefore, the "winter" of winter is only manifested outdoors. The room is warm like spring, with more than 20 or 30 degrees above zero. In addition, I eat a high-calorie diet such as pork stewed vermicelli and pig-killing vegetables, so the internal heat is very serious. Eat something "cool", comfortable and comfortable!
How did we eat frozen pears when we were kids?
Frozen pears are not kept in the refrigerator, but in the outdoor warehouse. A large vat (anti-rat, that is, mice. The surface of the tank is smooth, and rats can't climb on it), or cardboard boxes. Take a few into the house and put them in a basin of water to "slow down". This is a "physical principle". Due to the low temperature of frozen pears (properly frozen, there are always minus 20 degrees) and the high temperature of water (tap water, not lukewarm water), frozen pears release "cold" energy, which is absorbed by water, and gradually forms ice in the water basin and around frozen pears. About half an hour to an hour, you reach into the icy water and fish out a "frozen pear" with frozen stubble. Crack the ice shell, and a dark and shiny, soft and glutinous "frozen pear" is held in the water. At this point, you take a hard bite, the juice overflows, and a "cool air" runs from the back of your head to your heels. That's called a "cool".
This kind of pear is not like the snow pear in Hebei, its raw material is the "flower cover pear" produced in Liaoning. Not particularly still eaten. But the strange thing is that once it is frozen by nature, it is "gorgeously transformed", becoming both sweet and full of juice, which is simply amazing.
Therefore, when the small potatoes from the south come to the Northeast, the Northeast Hotel should be like this: take a basin of water, soak a few frozen pears, take them to the guests' rooms, and tell them how to "suck" the frozen pears, instead of cutting them and putting them on the plate. Such a "rough" and "bold" way of opening is the way that the southern friends want to really see and experience. Instead of the so-called "bells and whistles" and "nondescript", in that way, it will only misguide and mislead people to misunderstand that frozen pears are "just like this"!
