Sichuanese say that Sichuan poetry is not as good as my hometown in the distance.

No sooner had I returned to Paris from home than I fell into infinite lovesickness.

Looking at my hometown from afar, the mountains are far away and high, which makes me feel relaxed and happy.

It is difficult to write about hometown, because it is too familiar, without indifference and objectivity. Because love is deep, words can't be shaken clean. After Zhao Lei's Chengdu became popular, I felt relieved and helpless. Originally, I was glad that Sichuan's popularity was still quite high, but unfortunately, friends around me had such a one-sided impression of Sichuan.

If you talk too much, you should always speak slowly and say where you want.

Sichuan style

Speaking of Sichuan, it is inevitable to mention eating.

Chen Xiaoqing, the director of China on the Tip of the Tongue, once told a joke that when he was traveling in Sichuan, his friend asked him to recommend a restaurant. He asked his friend, is there a restaurant five steps from the right? Enter! It is said that after my friend came back, he wrote an article praising this restaurant for its authentic taste.

This is the epitome of Sichuan: you can find delicious food in three or five steps, and you can also meet delicious food by browsing casually.

If you tell your friends in Sichuan that Sichuan food is spicy, you will go to Sichuan to eat boiled beef and Maoxuewang, and you will be hacked by your friends before you finish.

There are many kinds of Sichuan cuisine, including rice noodles, wonton soup, meat dumplings, oil tea, burning noodles, Ye Er Ba, Guo Kui, bean curd, cold rice noodles, bean curd gouache, dregs noodles, fermented glutinous rice flour, steamed cakes and melon seeds, as well as Bazin, steamed buns and milk cakes in Tibetan areas ... A friend went to Sichuan to play and gained ten pounds in his spare time. You really can't eat five meals a day.

The delicacy of Sichuan cuisine has something to do with the sharp mouths of Sichuanese. Every Sichuanese has his own dish, even the same dish, and every Sichuanese has his own version. Never discuss "what is authentic Sichuan food" with Sichuanese, even if you argue for three days and nights, you will not get the result. For example, the most common "cooked pork": how wide and thick the meat is, whether the side dish is garlic sprout, colored pepper or leek, whether to add distiller's grains, whether to use sweet noodle sauce, and what kind of bean paste to use ..... Everyone has his own answer.

Sichuan snacks are small in quantity and varied in variety. I remember the first time I ate hot and sour powder in Beijing. A bowl of powder the size of a washbasin scared me to death. At home, we can have a bowl of noodles, a pot helmet and a maocai as a light meal. That's because you can buy one or two pieces of noodles. Guo Kui is as big as a palm, but maocai is just a small bowl. If you want to eat thoroughly, you can also have a cold cake or ice powder to relieve boredom.

Every time I hear people say that Sichuan food is spicy, my heart aches. In fact, the tastes of Sichuan cuisine are extremely colorful, including salty and sweet, spicy, pepper and salt, strange taste, sour and spicy, sweet and sour, fish flavor, homely, ginger juice, garlic paste, mustard, red oil, five-grain flavor, litchi, watercress, sesame sauce and so on. For example, there are many kinds of soup bases for making breakfast rice noodles, such as stewed chicken, kelp, bamboo shoots, peas, fat sausage, beef, etc., while eating noodles should use red oil, bean sprouts, mustard tuber, peanut powder, sesame seeds, chopped green onion, coriander, kimchi, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, etc. as seasoning, and "SAO Zi" should be added.

Chuanhua

Sichuanese speak like Sichuan food. You must do enough to be satisfied.

Sichuanese love talking, that is, chatting. People in Beijing also like to chat. The so-called "talking about mountains" should be justified, condescending, far apart and interesting. The so-called "big", the topic should be big and the tone should be big.

Sichuanese chat differently. Longmen array is said to come from the array set by Xue Bu in Tang Dynasty, which is mysterious and unpredictable. And put, have the meaning of layout. The dragon gate array of Sichuanese, like this array, is full of ups and downs and endless fun. Whether it is news, current affairs or gossip, we should use vivid and interesting ways, such as spreading a picture, leaving a blank, connecting the preceding with the following, and explaining it. As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water support one side of the people, and Sichuanese speak, just like the mountains and rivers here, winding and winding.

Mr. Lin Wenxun's "Chengdu Man" describes the rhetoric of Chengdu hawkers and vividly shows the "mouth strength" of Sichuanese: look at the northern man wandering in the streets of Chengdu, riding a bicycle and carrying a basket of Henan buns, all he knows is to stare and shout: "Steamed buns! Shantou! " Hard and dry ... Local vendors selling rat poison along the street sang around: "Hey ... waste medicine, waste medicine, and you can't run away if you eat too much. Smell it to death, lick it to death, and it will turn into shit when eaten. Buy early, buy fast, so as not to waste the baby in your home. Buy one pack and get one free to ensure a clean sleep for the whole family ... "Walking and shouting, singing now, full of rhyme and flavor, ups and downs.

Sichuanese describe a person who has a glib tongue and is called a drunk. Mouth is his representative, and his whole body is full of mouth, so much can be said!

Sichuanese love to modify the front and back of words, such as black, and we say "dark"; Soft and rotten, we say "sparse rake"; Smelly, we say "smelly".

We also like to use overlapping words, such as praising a person's watery and saying "good chest"; Describe a person sneaking around and saying "ghost poke"; Say a person's nerves, say "God speaks"; Swearing is stupid, such as rubbing your eyes. For example, when we describe the house as tidy, we will say that the house is "very comfortable".

In short, the taste should be enough.

Mei Chuan Waal

Beijing is called Girl Girl, Jiangsu and Zhejiang is called Nanxi, Guangdong is called Lonely Fifteen, and Tianjin is called Sister. In Sichuan, we girls call ourselves girls, girls, (Sichuan people can't speak their own voices! )! It seems that the girls in Sichuan are the youngest children in the family, the darling of their parents, and their sisters love their brothers and care about them in every possible way. Sichuan sister, just like this name, is cheerful, lively and glib.

Baby, a little sister in Sichuan, has a sly mouth (note: describe her as sharp-tongued and lively), which is fiercer than spicy. She can "rinse hot pot" with a smile. Although powerful, it is not barbaric at all. It can be sweeter than three kinds of mud (note: a sweet snack including glutinous rice, black beans and sesame seeds, fried with lard and brown sugar until it is muddy). Speak with some insults and coquetry, and be unpretentious and close to the people.

Sichuan girls all speak with their own plum blossom sounds, which is especially obvious in Chengdu dialect. The plum blossom sound is [? ] When this sound is pronounced, the mouth is wide open and the corners of the mouth extend to both sides. If you have heard Boss Shady's Sichuan dialect rap "Lao Zi won't go to work tomorrow", the pronunciation of the word "Ban" is plum blossom sound, which is a bit of infinite coquetry and sounds very delicate. I used to talk to my mother on the phone, and my roommate said that you have a good relationship with your mother and you can be spoiled. I can only cry without tears. I'm not coquetry, I'm talking normally!

When Sichuan girls talk, they also like to drag them to the end of sentences or the middle of words, plus modal particles. The original monotonous words suddenly became interesting. For example, when you step on someone's foot on the bus, you are stared at: "Ouch ~, it's too crowded ~ wordy, please be quiet ~ Let's all go home ~ Don't be embarrassed ~, don't come out and turn around ~" (this sentence translates into "too crowded?" I want to go back to my home quietly and don't come outside "). Another example is bargaining: "boss, how much is this thing?" "Don't be so rude ~, next door is much cheaper than your home ~ Oh, why not be safer ~? Then I'll buy it next door ~ "(translated into Mandarin)" Boss, how much is this thing? " A little cheaper. The store next door is much cheaper than you. Can't it be cheaper? I bought it next door "). The same meaning, plus modal particles, and then take off your eyebrows and shake your eyes, suddenly lively and "spicy."

The little girls in Sichuan are more watery, and the sunshine in Sichuan is less, which raises the white and delicate skin of Sichuan girls, just like being pinched with dumplings. Someone in Zhihu asked why Sichuan girls don't get acne when they eat spicy food, and replied: We are born with good skin.

It is such a mysterious self-confidence and pride.
