Zhang Jiajia is a storyteller and designer. Nanjing 19 12 block is an old building complex and a famous nightlife area. Passing Through Your World occupies a tall building with the style of the Republic of China in the block of 19 12. The building is three stories high, with a high roof, a high gate and a gray exterior wall, which makes the whole building look heavy. The exterior wall is covered with Parthenocissus tricuspidata, and these swaying spirits devour the gray bricks and bluestones bit by bit, slowly hiding the whole restaurant in the green.
Passing Through Your World is actually a chapter in Zhang Jiajia's works of the same name. Many stories in the book, though with different plots, always revolve around youth and several key words. Wandering, traveling, falling in love, laughing and cursing are all what youth should look like. The mixed feelings and ups and downs in just a few years are not meaningless. Moths can be as dazzling as meteors.
"Kind lunch" is a fried beef. A rose-red flower is placed on a black tray, and the spoon gently strokes mustard, which looks very pleasing to the eye. Beef tastes like Chili. It's western-style, but the meat is tender. Although the color is not light, the taste is not so heavy. Old Love Letters is a very interesting dish. Yellow pancakes are printed with vague handwriting, or black trays, chopped green onion, and pancakes are placed in bowls. When you enjoy it, the pancake in the shape of letter paper is rolled with blue and white filaments and stuffing, just like the years when it is rolled together. "pig's head love", cook a sweet Dongpo meat with a few light sushi. Although this novel way of eating is a bit confusing, it tastes novel and creative.
Passing through your world, I thought it was a light dish, but I didn't expect it to be full of red peppers. Like firecrackers in the dead of winter, this dish contains duck feet, pig feet and even horseshoes. Is it really "passing by"? Is it an unforgettable place? There is an extremely beautiful name in the "passing by" menu, "First love is a person's confusion", which is actually a compound juice with onion flavor. Because there are blueberries, they are blue and purple. At first, I thought onions were hot and strange, but later they tasted sweet and slightly sour. I really shuddered, just like the delicate and unspeakable first love cherished in everyone's heart.
Passing by your world, books, restaurants, or these imaginative and creative dishes? Is interpreting the meaning of youth. In this small world carefully constructed by Zhang Jiajia? Only one thing is eternal, and that is memory. There are many stories in the book, and you can always find the one who feels the same; There are many situations in restaurants, and the price can always find the one that looks familiar; The dishes have many flavors, and you can always taste the touch that reminds you of the past.
In this restaurant, there is always a familiar smell, just like in a book, there is always a story, a character who is very similar to himself. Although everyone's memories are different, there are only a few themes of youth, wandering and traveling, grief and anger, just like the cup of "first love is a person's shuddering", there are many memories, and no one will help you remember them, leaving only your own thoughts.
