印象中的老成都

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

武侯祠的边上新建了一条街叫锦里,是模仿老成都的样貌修的。今年国庆时回家走了走,确实还有些老成都的感觉。

成都代表性的建筑风格就是青石瓦房。

窄窄的街道,有点云南丽江的味道,连酒吧也取名叫四方街,最能体现成都人最赶潮流的心态。不过,皮影戏和老烟枪还是保留了老成都的味道。

成都的小吃

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

这次回成都,发现最最传统的成都风味小吃确实是大不如从前了。最令人失望的龙抄手、钟水饺和赖汤元,找遍全城,找不到当年令人垂涎的味道。究其原因,大概是因为老成都们已经不再追捧传统,而来成都访问的游客们又比较容易糊弄的缘故吧。但是我在陈麻婆豆腐的一席饭还是让我大快朵颐,忍不住把这些好吃拿来和大家分享一下。

最最正宗的麻婆豆腐:豆腐上的花椒面足以让你头皮发麻,但是这正是这道菜的妙处。

麻婆豆腐

夫妻肺片:最正宗的吃法是肺片夹锅盔,类似陕西的肉夹馍

最好吃的宫保鸡丁:鲜香和麻辣的至尊级统一,连每个花生米都酥到了骨头里

还有的就是我热爱的凉粉、凉面和煮凉粉。所谓煮凉粉,就是用水把大米做成的色泽金黄、形似豆腐的、看似凉粉的东东煮过,然后加以佐料伴着吃,热乎乎,辣嘻嘻,冬天或阴雨天吃着是莫大的享受。阿姨身后那一摞摞的碗里就是煮凉粉了,凉粉在她身后的电饭锅了烫过后,加上她身前碗里各种佐料一拌,就成了美味可口的佳肴。

大快朵颐的样子:

The long Tail

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

The Long Tail explains why the new internet era means comsuming less of more and why the 80/20 rule doesn’t hold for a lot of goods distributed through the web. The forming of the long tail is dependant on three (3) conditions:

  • the democratization of tools: e.g. the blogging tools made personal publishing easy and affordable for a lot of individuals;
  • the emergence of internet: the internet makes marginal  cost for storagenegligible and dramatically decreased the distribution cost;
  • the filtering capability provided by search engines: the search engines made it possible for web consumers to find what matters to them efficiently and effortlessly. When there is an easy way to separating the wheat from the chaff, we become less concerned with the mounting chaff.

The question to me seems like which tool I would like to democratize most if I still have the chance…
