In Chengdu, I don't eat a cold mug every day, as if I am sorry for this day. So the place where the mug is cold is often the hottest, and it can be left overnight, as if you don't have to go to work the next day. In fact, I feel very comfortable when I go home to sleep after dinner. Otherwise, you will be heavily in debt overnight. This is called suffering.
Eating cold mugs is not a taste, nor a culture, but a kind of heat. Drink five or six cups on weekends, get together with friends, and always have a cold cup. Go to an apricot and eat it in the imperial city. It's delicious, but it lacks some mass revelry. There is a cold mug less than 500 meters from home, which is convenient for everyone to get together. It is not impolite for the person who sits down first to call beer, edamame and boiled peanuts, and drink slowly first. A friend came and said, "I didn't wait for you, but it's full ..." So he crossed his legs and asked the boss to serve braised dishes such as pig's feet, pig's tongue, pig's waist, pig's ears, pig's tail, beef, beef tendon, chicken, duck, goose and rabbit according to everyone's preferences. There are no fewer than ten kinds of cold dishes, such as cold cucumber, bitter gourd, bean sprouts and rabbits. When everyone arrives, shout "boss, an old snowflake!" " "Then we ate and talked, and those who didn't give up, or those who didn't finish drinking last time, began to drink. Then, look at "little sister, open the wine! "At this time, shouting barbecue is inevitable. After drinking, someone started to make phone calls and answer the phone. Familiar people came running after taking a taxi. The table is added, the glasses are set, and a new climax is entered. This is just as Mayakovski said: Banquet is connected with banquet. At this time, there was a bottle on the ground, wine on the table, and the ice was frozen. That "cool" starts from the vest and goes all the way to the abdomen.
At this time, the unpretentious man buckled his glass and said, I can't drink any more, but everyone kept eating and drinking, and he couldn't help it. He just broke the ring, filled the cup and circled it, which made him feel a little enjoyable. Some people talk loudly when they blush, and some people sing loudly when they are drunk. They can dance and fight with each other, and everything will be resolved in the wine.
This scene seems chaotic, but it shows the coolness of summer. Because we are not friends, we have no leisure to sit together and have a cold cup. Needless to say, the more we eat together, the happier we will be. If you meet the World Cup or the top ball game and shout loudly and forcefully after others, the scene can be described as shaking. Che Fu said in "Old Things in Jincheng" that as early as the 1920s and 1930s, eating cold cups and listening to pipa music were popular in the new South Gate area, which must be no different from watching football matches today.
Between drinks, dishes are served plate by plate, and occasionally there is a barbecue. The boss looked at the excitement here and couldn't help coming over for a drink. If he is happy, he will definitely come over and say, try to drink today, free of charge. Not that he is a hero, but that he is really a playful person. Maybe he will be friends now, so do you have to eat less cold cups? It made everyone a little embarrassed, but the wine was full, and everyone seemed to forget what they had just said, so they drank hard.
So eating and drinking, mostly a few hundred dollars a night, is very comfortable. Then drunk and singing away, watching beautiful women like clouds, street lamps so charming, there is heaven on earth, where can you compare with the comfort of Chengdu; In a good mood, I made an appointment with a friend to change the venue and continue my summer date. Milan Kundera said that my life is from one glass to another. I wonder if there are as many cold cup stalls in Prague as in Chengdu? It's easy to overlook such a night.
In summer, Chengdu people have become beer lovers, so foreign breweries have come to Chengdu to attack the city, and Chengdu people do not refuse foreign beer. It is rare for foreign breweries to close down at a loss. This also strongly proves that Chengdu people attach importance to eating, drinking and having fun, which is rare in the whole country.
Eating cold mug is generous and lively. Just like Chengdu people, they love their lives narcissistically. It is not easy to live a fragmented life, nor is it easy to eat the feelings of the universe in a cold mug. But Chengdu people don't care about those, there are drinks and cold cups, and it's nothing if the weather is hot. (Text/Zhu) The process of understanding a city is like reading a woman. With the deepening of your investment, she will show you more and more real and personalized side. In fact, from the simple material shell, the semiotic meaning of all cities and all women seems to be the same: expanding and constantly filling objects. But the truth of a city and the face of an individual, just like there are no two identical women in this world, are also completely different and distinct. To taste a city, you can use your eyes, feet and heart, but as for Chengdu, I feel that it is a place that you can read clearly with your mouth. Reading a city with your mouth is not a patent in Chengdu, but perhaps only here can you read everything about a city and its vicissitudes with your mouth. Her leisure and hobbies.
The most suitable "book" for reading Chengdu with your mouth is the cold mug in Chengdu. This is not only because you can see the sign of "cold mug" in front of restaurants in Chengdu, but also because you can see a row of spectacular tables filled with large and small plates filled with all kinds of cold dishes at the door of restaurants. Moreover, judging from the name of this dietary custom, its authentic identity is also closely related to the mouth: the correct name of "cold sip cup" should be "cold sip mouth", and the latter word is pronounced as Chengdu dialect, which is close to the sound of "cup".
Chengdu people's leisure is famous all over the country, and the first feature of leisure is "putting a dragon gate array". This feature makes Chengdu people's leisure have a certain salon atmosphere. But the salon in Chengdu is always hot, and a "cold mug" condenses all the charm and characteristics of the salon in Chengdu: cold represents its tepid and carefree; Hey, it represents its peace and simplicity, and it is happy with it; The word "word of mouth" is more vivid. Two people are opposites. There is wine in the cup, one for each person and one for you. Wine is used to entertain and help talk about capital. In drinking and chatting, there is both affinity and tolerance.
Although the consumption of "cold mug" is cheap, its status in Chengdu seems to have nothing to do with the title of civilian diet. The person who leads the car can eat meat in large pieces and drink in large bowls here. Successful white-collar workers can also get together here and have a drink. "Cold mug" is neither noble nor cheap. Its moderation and tolerance make it a street nightclub in this city in summer.
Northerners often say that Chengdu men are feminine and lack the pride of Zhaoyan people. I lived in Yulin Community for a period of time, which is a famous catering center in Chengdu. On the evening of summer, when I was walking, I often saw the lineup of "Huaxing fried egg noodles" and another restaurant's "cold mugs". People who ate "cold mugs" even put their tables on the side of the road across the street. People eat, drink and laugh loudly here. Due to the lack of lighting, the roadside tables have to be lit by candles. Under the shady scene, the wax is shining and people are crowded, but many men are naked, drinking beer and being free. This kind of scene, that kind of heroic spirit, at the critical moment, the average person can't know.
"Cold mug" is a street nightclub in Chengdu. It is down-to-earth, approachable, and has no arty imitation. It insists on its own marketism, so that all diners who patronize it, whether working girl or a pawn, are feasting here. It makes the men who patronize it take off their shirts, show their ribs or fat, sit confidently in the street and be exposed to the public. (Text \ Good Rain \ Chengdu Evening News)
