I've heard about the delicious food in Suzhou Shantang street for a longtime, but I've never tasted it. This Spring Festival, I finally have a chance totaste this delicious food which is praised by people.
After two hours' drive, we finally arrived at our destination. When Ilooked out of the car window, I suddenly thought of Suzhou sweet maltose,delicious plum cake, crisp Begonia cake I have been immersed in delicioussnacks, but I forgot that I was still in the car. Fortunately, my motherreminded me to get out of the car, so I stepped out of the door happily, but Iwas stunned by the sight in front of me. In front of me was a farmer's market.There are three big characters on it, Shantang street. My mood is like 100degrees of boiling water, but after a second it becomes minus 1 degree. I yelledto my mother, "how can Shantang street be a farmer's market?" my mother said,"don't worry, go around and have a look." I ran around the farmer's market for along time, but I still couldn't find the legendary Shantang street, so I wasdisappointed and said, "it turns out that Shantang street is a farmer's market.There's no delicious food." An old uncle next to me laughed when he heard mywords: "little girl, Shantang street is not a farmer's market. If you go 200meters to the right and then turn left, you will find Shantang street." Mom saidthanks to the old man. Then he said to me, "if something happens in the future,don't draw a conclusion in advance, or you'll make a big joke."
According to the old uncle, we found Shantang street. As soon as I steppedinto the street, there was a fragrance. I walked along the fragrance and saw ashop with three characters of plum blossom cake on its front. There was a longline in front of it. It seemed that I was pulled by a kind of magic force. Afterstanding in line for more than half an hour, I finally bought a fragrant and hotplum blossom cake. I can't wait to take a bite. It has the sweet smell of redbean paste and the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus. It's really delicious!
Then, my mother bought a box of maltose for me to eat. My mother first tooka piece of maltose and put it into my small mouth. She also ate one of them.Then she couldn't help sighing: "decades have passed, it's still the taste ofchildhood. After listening to this, I asked curiously, "Mom, did you eat maltosewhen you were a child?" my mom said with a smile, "maltose is as popular aslollipop when we were children. It's just that you can't eat it from time totime. Only on Sundays do you occasionally meet the bartender's sugar changingburden, and take the toothpaste shells, bad slippers, and all kinds of wasteproducts collected by your family to the sugar changing burden. The bartenderknocks two to three pieces of maltose of different sizes according to thequantity and quality of waste products. " After listening to my mother's words,I thought silently, "I am much happier now than when my mother was a child!"
Then, my mother and I tasted crab rice, fox yogurt, Suzhou three freshnoodles, marinated duck gizzard Time flies. In the twinkling of an eye, it'sevening. We are going home soon. My mother asked me to buy some souvenirs, so Ientered a jewelry shop specializing in dough kneaders. Some lifelike clayfigurines are carefully selected and given to his cousin in his hometown, sothat he can enjoy Suzhou's exquisite handicrafts.
Suzhou's Shantang street is worthy of its reputation. I don't want totravel here.
