As long as you stay in Nanchang for a period of time, you will find that Nanchang has a very special place. Nanchang has many small streets and alleys, even the busiest Zhongshan Road. The road can be busy, but as soon as you turn around and enter a small alley or street, you will find that it is very quiet and small. Such an alley is only enough for two people to walk across, and the old bluestone slabs and the small surrounding shanty houses are telling their history. However, in these narrow streets, you can always see small merchants holding wooden barrels waiting for customers along the street. Inside the barrels are actually the "fu" soup that Nanchang people could only eat during the Chinese New Year. Because they are hawking along the street, they will not provide seats and benches. People who eat are just holding a disposable plastic bowl and spoon in their hands to eat. So often in the time before going to work every day, you can see a wooden barrel surrounded by office workers carrying "fu" soup to eat. I think this is definitely a big folk landscape in Nanchang!
In fact, the name is my own imagination. In Nanchang dialect, it is called "fu soup". The word "fu" is pronounced the third time. I asked many people how to express this word in words, but few people said clearly. Later, I finally asked a person in the suburbs of Nanchang. He said that the word "fu" actually means "paste". I was right when I thought about it. There are various ingredients in this soup, and it is made into a paste with sweet potato flour. It really should be called "paste" soup, but today is Mother's Day, and I remember that both my mother and my mother's mother like to eat this "paste" soup. Take its homonym "Fu"! "
