In the apocalypse of natural disasters, she has a universal APP

This July is destined to be a month of heavy work for air purifiers.

Maybe because I eat something sweet every morning, the snacks I use to snack on while lying down tend to gravitate towards salty and spicy flavors.

Recently, she fell in love with spicy noodles again.

Actually, it’s not quite accurate to say that I fell in love with it “again”. I just haven’t eaten it for a long time. Before, I only occasionally bought some and kept them at home. I don’t have the ability to eat them whenever I want like now.

It was also because I was flipping through videos one day and randomly saw a blogger who was reviewing snacks. He happened to be filming a special issue of "Childhood Memories", which contained a lot of spicy strips.

When I was young, the small shop next to the school sold a variety of spicy strips: long, rolled with bean skin, thick slices, thin slices, silk, and a row to be torn...

This kind of food, which is essentially flour or beans, is processed into gluten and tofu snacks that are heavy in oil, spicy, and chewy. They are also collectively named spicy strips and have become the favorite of many children and adults in this country.

She still remembered that when she was a child, those spicy snacks were packed in transparent plastic packaging. The plastic was soaked in oil and greasy, and she could smell the spicy and mouth-watering smell without tearing it open.

She also remembers that at that time, snacks were worthy of being called real junk food. Not only were they unhealthy in themselves, but many of the packages looked like three-no products.

If she were an adult now and had never eaten spicy strips, she would really hesitate to put it in her mouth when faced with such crudely packaged food.

However, children don't care so much. Even if I don't eat it and someone else buys a bag to eat in the classroom, I don't even have to take the initiative to share it. The taste is enough to attract children.

What spreads the fastest among children? It was not gossip about news, but the taste of spicy strips, which was spread from one person to another, and finally everyone met at the canteen with their pocket money in hand.

Everyone bought something different, and finally returned to the class. Everyone contributed a bag, and they exchanged it with each other and judged which one was the best.

From that moment on, one's taste for spicy strips begins to take shape.

Some people like gluten-filled spicy strips soaked in spicy oil that ooze oil when bitten, others like hard spicy strips rolled in bean skin, and still others like a whole sheet of thin paper-like spicy strips;

Some people like sweet and spicy food, some people only like spicy food; some people can't eat salty food, some people hate too much oil...

She watched the blogger in the video eat until his fingers were covered in red oil, and her own saliva had already turned into a river.

She originally thought that this kind of ancient snacks would have been lost in the torrent of time. Now the most popular brand on the market is also the regular spicy strips brand.

Well, it's quite famous.

What she often buys are this brand's square-shaped thick gluten spicy strips and small bags of spicy konjac. Occasionally, she has a piece of the spicy strips to satisfy her cravings. The konjac is a magical snack that is hard to stop eating.

However, as soon as you open the Golden Finger replica online shopping APP and search for "Childhood Spicy Tiao" and "Ancient Spicy Tiao", a bunch of big gift packages will come out.

Looking at the detailed pictures, they are all spicy strips that I have seen or never seen before, but what remains unchanged is the familiar oily plastic packaging bag, various strange names, and a tasteless packaging design. .

She quickly bought some from several stores and took them out, because this stuff was really oily and she didn't want to get it on the bed, so she simply took away the bed and made a large space to create a relaxing area for sitting on the floor.

A picnic mat was spread on the ground. It was in a red and white checkered pattern, waterproof and oil-proof, and had a hard texture. She spread it out, flattened the overlap marks, and poured all the spicy strips on it.

Around the picnic cloth, she threw a few soft cushions and fluffy pillows, which mainly served as a decoration. She herself sat on a floor-standing beanbag.

After everything was laid out, she looked left and right and felt dissatisfied. It seemed like something was missing, so she took back the space one by one and spread a grass-green carpet on the ground.

It was a shag carpet, and it was quite childish when disguised as a lawn. She restored the furnishings one by one, looked at them, and replaced the pillows with huge flower-shaped pillows. Only then was she satisfied.

Because she was sitting shorter, she lowered the projection position appropriately so that she would not have to raise her head to see the projection, causing visual distortion.

The video on the projection was still paused on the review blogger. She paused it and stopped watching it. She studied the newly bought ones by herself.

Some of them are very familiar, they are impressive names that I have seen before, and some of them have the same spicy strips appearance as in my memory.

What surprised her was that she actually saw one of the contestants who she personally rated as her top three favorite spicy strips.

It is a small thick disc-shaped soy product spicy strip. Many discs are connected together to form a large piece. Each disc is surrounded by a black circle and a light brown color in the middle——

In fact, if you look carefully now, there is no doubt that the surrounding circle is black, but the color in the middle seems to be the color dyed by spicy oil, right? It should be leaning towards the white side.

She put on her gloves and couldn't wait to tear open the package, and the strong spicy flavor that stimulated the taste buds immediately escaped.

Her mouth started to salivate. She tore off a small round piece and put it directly into her mouth. She couldn't help but let out an "emmm" sigh.

This is the smell! The taste of childhood in my memory, the top contestant in the spicy bar selection contest!

The greasy aroma of oil, the sweet and spicy seasoning, and the oily and chewy texture of the spicy strips themselves brought her back to her childhood days of hiding in the hole in the table to secretly eat a slice during class.

The spicy strips need to be paired with the stimulating carbonated soda. A can of Coke is ice cold. As soon as you enter the warm room from the space, water drops start to fall from the outside.

She wore a glove on one hand, so she opened the can with the other hand and took a deep breath of air, half drink, half carbonic acid. The aftertaste of citric acid and bitter medicine rushed into the oil of the spicy strips. , shaking his head with joy.

In addition to this one, she also saw a pack of familiar spicy strips called roast duck. She didn't know why it was called roast duck. No matter from the ingredients or the shape of the spicy strips, she couldn't tell that it had anything to do with roast duck.

But she remembered that this was the most expensive spicy strip in the store, because it only came in large packages, so you could only buy one large package.

At that time, it seemed that several people would each pay some money to buy a bag together, and then eat it quickly.

Now that I think about it, the idea of ​​joining together has sprouted so early.

The shape of the spicy strips inside is difficult to define. It feels like a crumpled ball of paper, but the person who kneaded it didn't take it very seriously, so he just rolled it into a ball casually twice, but it didn't form a ball.

She originally thought that this group of spicy strips was shaped like roast duck, but when she looked closely, it didn't look like that. It was just such a wrinkled spicy strip.

So, could it be that the taste replicates that of roast duck?
