The snack bar here is suitable for three or five friends. The storefront is small and the decoration is old, but there are always a few small dishes that make people memorable.

Fried enema without any nutrition, bean juice that tastes like "spoiled swill", has flourished for a long time, especially in old Beijing.
People like it. To this end, we visited four restaurants dealing in Beijing-style snacks and dishes, and compared the two kinds of Beijing-style snacks.

The unique decoration of Beijing flavor makes diners feel refreshed. The variety of Beijing snacks here is not complete, but it doesn't count.
Less. It's just that there is no bean juice, which makes people feel a little sorry. If people who haven't eaten bean juice are not real.
Beijingers, there is no bean juice in Jingweier snack street, which seems to have lost some Beijing flavor more or less. Fortunately, it's here.
Most diners in restaurants don't order a strange bowl of bean juice. The enema slices here are cut very thin.
When serving, garlic juice was put on the plate, which was very fine, but the overall taste was not authentic enough.
Snack Street not only operates authentic Beijing-style snacks, but also occasionally introduces local-style foods.
For example, Mala Tang (Sichuan flavor), Lamian Noodles and Grey Bean (Lanzhou flavor). No matter from the environment or service,
Sihexuan has nothing to say. The comprehensive taste of snacks is also very good, but it is not as authentic as eating snacks in the street.

Suggestion: Beijing cuisine is mainly greasy, and more dishes with light taste are introduced.
Tripe in old Beijing [reposted]
Among all the snacks in Beijing, the most addictive ones are fried tripe and bean juice.
Deep-fried belly is the representative of China's diet. A sheep's belly can be divided into food letter, belly plate (divided into yin and yang sides, peeled as "plate core"), belly collar (divided into "girder" and "silver ingot buckle", peeled as "belly kernel"), gourd and grass.
"The soup is slightly warm in an instant, with complete ingredients and a bottle of wine." Liquor is a good partner for belly-popping. With white wine, it is a supreme enjoyment to eat crispy sandan, mushroom head or beef and mutton belly. Of course, these samples are also expensive enough. It doesn't matter if there is not much money. Mutton tripe is the cheapest, and it's certainly not very chewy. You can only "swallow the fruit raw".
Earlier, the belly burst was the belly burst, and there were no cows. According to Wang Tou, the water explosion started with his father Wang Fukui. Inspired by Wang, he changed the oil explosion into water explosion and spread it.
The quality of fried belly depends on many aspects, such as material selection, washing, knife cutting, water explosion, seasoning and so on. If the louver is black, it can be judged that it is a bad cow, and the "grass bud" on the stomach is yellow, which proves that the quality of the stomach varies with different foods. Gastric lavage is fast and clean, with cold water; Different parts have different knife methods; The water explosion time is accurate to seconds; Adjust the ingredients carefully, or you will fail.
Old Beijing was dominated by tripe, but now it's the other way around. Most of the cattle goods are tender, and it is difficult to keep fresh after storage and freezing. Moreover, it is difficult to grasp the heat of different parts, while beef noodles are easy to preserve and have low requirements for chefs. So Beijing's tripe-fried restaurants opened one after another. The whole thing is that "the radish is too fast to wash the mud", and the skill level will not be displayed for the time being. What's more, the cooked tripe is used to fool customers. Here are three old brands for you to choose from:
Shenglong Jin Tripe Restaurant: Beitucheng West Road 103.
Fried tripe restaurant: No.39, Lane 2, Qianmen Wailang.
Dong Xing Shun Niu Du Zhang: Qian Haidong Rock in Shichahai 17.

According to the abdominal part of the sheep, see the customer's choice. The cooking time varies with different parts. Recently, due to its popularity and the difficulty in ensuring fresh belly goods, it has not been supplied anywhere as before. In addition to being fresh, the frying time is just right, and the fried belly is crisp and fresh. If people who eat fried belly can drink, they will always drink two ounces and eat two freshly baked sesame cakes. Especially in old Beijing, there is a saying that "if you want to eat autumn, you must have fried belly". When you eat fried belly in beginning of autumn, you are very particular.

Beijing snack
People who have been to Beijing are interested in Beijing snacks when it comes to eating, except Quanjude roast duck and steamed dumplings.
Snacks are different from snacks and meals. Snacks are foods used to "fill your stomach" or eat before meals. The characteristics of flavor snacks are: first, rich flavor, bright local colors, distinct sweetness and saltiness, and obvious taste stimulation; Second, the texture is pure, or crisp and delicious, or soft and smooth and refreshing; Third, the temperature is extreme, and some are extremely hot. They only taste when they are hot, such as white soup chop suey and hot fried cake. Some of them are really cold, such as Jiang Mi Gao Liang and bean jelly. Fourth, the price is cheap, and they are all delicious and not expensive.
Beijing snacks can be divided into three types: Han flavor, Hui flavor and court flavor. Cooking methods include steaming, frying, frying, searing, frying, roasting, rinsing, brewing, frying, stewing and boiling, and there are about one hundred kinds.
Friends who come to Beijing, I will tell you a few places where you can taste Beijing snacks: First, Nanlaishun, located in Xuanwu District, Beijing, has more than 70 kinds of special snacks; The second is Long Fu Temple Snack Bar in Dongcheng District, which is famous for its halal snacks. The third is Fangshan restaurant in Beihai Park, which specializes in serving palace-style snacks. The fourth is the snack street of Donghuamen Night Market, a popular snack.
Some people compare Beijing snacks to the "living fossils" of the capital for thousands of years; Yi Shu, a famous writer, succinctly summarized the connotation of Beijing snacks with the words "snacks are great". There is a lyric that says "ninety-nine snacks in Beijing are not enough to eat." To tell the truth, I have lived in Beijing for more than 40 years and haven't tasted all the snacks in Beijing. I still have time to eat slowly.
I suggest you go to this website:/bjlife/nosh.htm.
Beijing quadrangles are very regular and typical. Among all kinds of quadrangles, Beijing quadrangle can best represent its main characteristics.
First of all, the central courtyard of Beijing Siheyuan is basically square in plan, but some houses in other areas are not.
For example, the courtyards of quadrangles in Shanxi and Shaanxi are vertical rectangles long from north to south and narrow from east to west, while quadrangles in Sichuan and other places are mostly horizontal rectangles long from east to west and narrow from north to south.
Secondly, the houses in the east, west, south and north directions of Beijing Siheyuan are independent, and the east and west wing rooms are not connected with the main building and the inverted building itself. Moreover, the main building, wing room, inverted building and other houses are all on the first floor. There are no buildings, only the veranda at the corner connects these houses.
In this way, the Beijing quadrangle has a bird's eye view from the air, just like four small boxes enclosing a yard.
In many quadrangles in the south, the surrounding houses are mostly buildings. At the four corners of the courtyard, the houses are connected together, and the houses in the east, west, north and south do not exist independently. Therefore, southerners call the courtyard "patio", which shows that the courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River is as small as a well, which inevitably reminds people of the idioms of "frog in the well" and "sitting in the well and watching the sky".
Beijing quadrangle is a veritable quadrangle, spacious and open, with plenty of sunshine and broad vision.
In the feudal society, where the old and the young are in order and there are differences in seniority, the housing allocation of Beijing quadrangles is very strict, and the first courtyard in a superior position must be occupied by the old grandfather's wife.
Only one of the three rooms in the north room is open to the public, which is called the main room. The two rooms on both sides only opened the door of the hall to form a suite, which became a pattern of light and shade. The main hall is the place where family members live, entertain relatives or worship ancestors on New Year's Day, and there are many bedrooms on both sides.
The bedrooms on both sides of the east and west also have the distinction of honour and inferiority. Under the system of polygamy, the east side is distinguished and occupies the first house, while the west side is humble and occupies the wing.
East-west wing-can open the door alone, or communicate with the main room, generally used as a bedroom or study. Both the East Wing and the West Wing are occupied by the younger generation. The wing is also light and dark, with a living room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides.
You can also separate a room on the south side for use as a kitchen or restaurant. Back-built houses-quadrangles of medium or above often have back military houses or back Gai Lou, mainly for unmarried women or maids.

imperial capital
The Forbidden City in Beijing, also known as the Forbidden City. Located in the center of Beijing, it is the imperial palace of Ming and Qing Dynasties. It took 1407- 1420 years for the Ming emperor Judy to recruit skilled craftsmen and servants from the north and south of the Yangtze River. The plane is rectangular, with a length of 96 1 m from north to south and a width of 753 meters from east to west, covering an area of more than 720,000 square meters.

There are four gates in Miyagi, the meridian gate in the south is the main entrance of the Forbidden City, the Shenwumen (Xuanwu Gate) in the north, the Donghuamen in the east and the Xihuamen in the west.
From 1420 to19 to 49 1 year, there were 24 emperors (Ming Dynasty 14, Qing Dynasty 10) from Judy, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, to Puyi, the last emperor of Qing Dynasty. There are more than 9,000 halls in the palace, all of which are wooden structures, with yellow glazed tile roofs, blue-and-white stone foundations and bright colored paintings, with a total construction area of 6.5438+0.5 million square meters. The Forbidden City consists of an outer court and an inner court. The outer court is centered on the Hall of Supreme Harmony (Golden Hall), the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe, and flanked by the Hall of Wenhua and the Hall of Wuying. It is the place where the emperor handles government affairs and holds major celebrations. The Forbidden City is centered on Gan Qing Palace (the emperor's bedroom), Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace (the emperor's wedding bridal chamber), with Dongliu Palace and Xiliu Palace (the palace) on the east and west wings, supplemented by hall of mental cultivation, Fengxian Palace, Zhaigong Palace, Yuqing Palace, Ningshou Palace, Cining Palace and Imperial Garden.

They are the largest and most well-preserved ancient buildings in China, the only magnificent buildings with Chinese classical style and oriental style in the world, and the largest palaces in the world. The Xinhai Revolution of 19 1 1 overthrew the rule of the Manchu Dynasty and ended the feudal dynasty of more than 2,000 years, but the abandoned Emperor Boyi still lived in the second half of the Forbidden City. 19 12 years, Chaochao was turned into an "antique exhibition place". 1924165438+1On October 5, Feng Yuxiang expelled Boyi from the palace, and Lu. 1925 10 The Palace Museum was established in June 10. 1948, the Antiquities Exhibition Hall was merged into the Palace Museum.
