What is the most representative of the "Ji'nan on the tip of the tongue"?
4 month 28 noon on 28 noon, a train from Qingdao stopped at the JiNan Railway Station. In the middle of the travellers, a tall and exotic face is very attractive. The American named Brian has just arrived in China, and this time he was invited to Ji'nan to travel. Mr. Yang, a citizen of Ji'nan, is invited to Brian. In order to let this foreign "eat" friend know more about Ji'nan, Mr. Yang has done a lot of homework, but the more he tries to collect it, the more he can represent "Ji'nan on the tip of the tongue", it seems not so much.

ask the American "eat" to taste Ji'nan's traditional food
Mr. Yang, 28 years old, told reporters that he has been working in Ji'nan for several years. As a literary and historical enthusiast, Mr. Yang often read books on Humanities and Social Sciences in his spare time. He has been longing for exchanges between different cultures.
last month, when Mr. Yang went to Qingdao to attend a classmate's wedding, he met American Brian and talked with him very happily. When the wine was hot, Mr. Yang invited Brian to play in Ji'nan, and the latter agreed and agreed on the time. After returning to Ji'nan, Mr. Yang began to prepare a plan for a foreign friend, not only the famous scenic spots in Baotu Spring, Qianfo Hill, and Furong street. He wanted to let foreigners know Ji'nan deeply - to taste the traditional food of Ji'nan.
reporter learned that, as a senior "food", Brian and his American compatriots are different: most Americans do not eat viscera, do not love spicy, eat sweet food, and fish and shrimp are eating prickly, shelling, but the Brian does not refuse, the only requirement is: good. "Delicious" is also one of the few Chinese words that Brian has just arrived in China for two months. "Brian's work in Qingdao is a teacher at an international school, and he likes to travel around the world. If you can make Brian eat authentic, delicious old Ji'nan dishes, you can definitely publicize them through him. Mr. Yang said.
at noon, when Brian just arrived in Ji'nan, Mr. Yang pulled him to a Ruihua restaurant in the East Lane of the county to taste the nine turns of large intestine, stir fry the waist flower, the milk soup, and other dishes of Shandong cuisine. Mr. Yang is gratified that Brian likes nine large intestine.
by the edge of eating, the American "food" Brian has a preliminary understanding of the traditional food and Shandong cuisine in Ji'nan. He said he should learn more about Chinese and eat more authentic Chinese food in all places in China, instead of eating the transformed "fake Chinese food" in the United States.
what can represent the "Ji'nan on the tip of the tongue"?
"to tell you the truth, Shandong cuisine can best represent the cuisine of old Ji'nan." Mr. Yang said. He told reporters that he chose to come to the hotel and the dishes, which he finally decided after he had consulted a lot of information, which took a lot of effort. "Jinan people like to eat barbecue and drinking beer. No matter how horns they are in the summer, they are everywhere. But barbecue is not the old Ji'nan tradition. Mr. Yang said.
reporter learned that although outsiders were coming to Ji'nan in the summer to look for barbecue and graving, it was only in the last twenty or thirty years that the barbecue was in Ji'nan. Mr. Yang's colleague, Mr. Sun of the old Ji'nan told reporters that the start of a barbecue in Ji'nan was Xinjiang people. Later, the local people reformed it, and then gradually developed the brand effect from the first latitude nine, and then moved to the city of Ji'nan.
as for sheep soup, meat and so on, they are also imported from the field and firmly rooted in the root of the food. On behalf of the old Ji'nan, the Huiquan Hotel, Yan Xitang, Jufeng, and so on, all due to various reasons, gradually fade out of the people's view, those who have the teachers of Shandong cuisine are also scattered to the streets and alleys, there are many difficulties.
as for the most famous snack oil in Ji'nan, it is facing more problems. "I see from the business newspaper, the oil spin teacher bearing the most authentic one is looking for the store, and the full street oil spin is self - called authentic, eating taste is common, let foreigners eat, people feel 'but so' can be bad." Mr. Yang said.
, according to the so-called old Ji'nan cuisine recommended by netizens, Mr. Yang tried several times, but he thought it was not very ideal.
"old Ji'nan" food for a couple of meals?
after the lunch, Brian started a trip to Ji'nan with satisfaction, and he and Mr. Yang visited Hibiscus street, pearl spring, Wang Fu pool, Daming Lake, all of which made the American guests exclaimed, but one side of Mr. Yang could not be completely happy - how to continue the meal The pure Ji'nan? This is a problem.
in Mr. Yang's view, the most authentic Ji'nan table banquet was eaten on the first hand, and then faced with the embarrassment of "subsequent fatigue". "With my own strength, not professional eating culture, I can only think of eating such a meal, and then eat an oil spin, sweet foam, straw bag, more is also no way." Mr. Yang said.
that night, Mr. Yang and his friends entertained Brian in an open barbecue stall, and American guests were very fond of this unique barbecue. For Brian, who is keen on beer, the local Ji'nan draft beer, which has a mild taste, also gives him the best light. Although both the guests and the host are very happy, Mr. Yang still feels that his shortcomings are "perhaps the pure old Ji'nan flavor".
second days in the morning, a simple and hearty breakfast took all the traditional snacks in Ji'nan. By noon, Mr. Yang had to turn to his friends and get a suggestion to eat in a fashion restaurant. In fact, many of the dishes in these fashion restaurants have been learned from western food, and Brian has also eaten a lot of them, so Brian shows a state of familiarity rather than surprise for these things that have been made in China.
Brian may have seen Mr. Yang's thoughts. He suggested that he would like to eat hot pot in Sichuan at night. He said: "Sichuan hot pot has been adapted to the taste of the Jinan people, let foreigners eat the two hands, or even three hands on the dishes, think of some funny and some sad."
two days of itinerary soon ended, American "food" is very happy, he likes Ji'nan also likes the food here, but as the master, and a little real Mr. Yang knows this trip is not perfect. "Now it seems that it is very difficult for us to produce more authentic Ji'nan dishes that are really in line with the public taste." Mr. Yang said some regretfully.
