Ⅰ.阅读理解
Some people have glibly (轻率地) called it the “Chinese burger”. But roujiamo, a food that has its origins in northern China's Shaanxi Province, is different from what you'd order at a fastfood restaurant, with a far longer history that dates back 2,000 years. Roujiamo is a thing of beauty — a soft but chewy bun filled with small pieces of braised (炖) pork.
Most amazingly, some customers might show their respect for the pork in this little bun, which was just bathed in the soup that is older than them. Among a sea of tough competition, Lijiarongxi, a restaurant recognized as the best roujiamo place in town, should owe its success to the soup used to slowcook its meat, which has been braised on the stove since the founder, Mr Li, first braised it 27 years ago. In fact, most restaurants of good fame have an exclusive heritage recipe (家传秘方) for their soups that often date back to decades ago. The soup in Fanji Roujiamo, one of Xi'an's bestknown roujiamo restaurants, is believed to be more than 80 years old!
You might eat the bun quickly in seconds, but like all good things, it should be given time to enjoy. Chefs braise the pork in its decadeold soup for hours and let it sit overnight, making the meat more tender. Such tenderlycooked meat is what lends this dish the nickname “lao han xi” in Xianyang. That's because the best roujiamo meat is so soft that it should melt in your mouth without having to chew it — imagining the elderly customers in question, without a perfect set of teeth.
It's also worth noting that like most types of regional Chinese food, roujiamo varies depending on the city and community. Buns come baked or panfried, and for the meat, some communities in Shaanxi often use beef, while people in Ningxia usually choose lamb.
