The outer shell is beef intestine, so that the dish has a tough, sweet and strange taste. The stuffing inside must also be pieces of shredded meat from the bones, so it has an attractive aroma. After that, people will deodorize with finely chopped ginger. (Illustration) And yet, a sausage with the right taste must have the fat and the fat. The best type of fat is sa fat, lard to make the dish more moist. The perfect ratio would be two parts meat one part fat. So mix all together with pepper, spices, star anise and secret recipes of the Cham people… to stuff the beef intestines. But the uniqueness of tossing and turning requires a unique ingredient – cold rice. Just adding a little fermented cold rice to the filling will stimulate the flavor in the strange sweet and sour taste. Each round, full, finger-sized sausage is tied into a string and dried. After 3 sun exposure, it is enough to drain, hunt meat and can be enjoyed. (Illustration) To fully feel the delicious, nutritious food of the dish, the best way is to grill beef sausages on embers, when cooked, “treat” right there. In the hot heat, just blow up and feel the melting sweetness of meat and beef fat. Mixed in is a little sourness of cold rice balanced and spicy to stimulate the taste of pepper and chili.

Closing the door when using the air conditioner is natural. However, many families have a habit of avoiding heat by keeping the door closed throughout the day, even though the air conditioner is not always on. In fact, this method only helps to prevent sunlight from entering, but the heat is still absorbed by the windows and surrounding walls. This amount of heat will be surrounded in 4 walls, so it feels stuffy and uncomfortable. At night, when you step inside, you still feel that everything is hot. Turn on the fan, open the door when it is sunny, making the house more hot On the contrary, many people have the habit of opening the door all day, turning on the fan to get natural wind to blow into the house, creating ventilation and cooling the room. However, this is not at all true for sunny days, especially around midday. Because at this time, the outdoor temperature is higher than the indoor temperature, opening the door in combination with the fan will cause the heat to come in, the more you turn on the fan, the more hot and stuffy it is. Therefore, it is most reasonable to open the door early in the morning and then close it. When the sun is out, open the door again to let the outside air into the room to help cool down and reduce stuffiness. You should create more ventilation for the house with small doorways, this is where the air is drawn when the power is out. The air conditioner heater is located in a sunny place Installing the right air conditioner will help you enjoy a more pleasant summer. However, placing the air conditioner heater in an unreasonable position can make the house not as cool as desired, in addition, it is also easy to damage the air conditioner and consume a large amount of power. The heater is left outside, where the sun shines, making the air conditioner work less Air conditioner manufacturers often design and apply technology to help air conditioners withstand harsh weather. However, it is not because of that that we can install the air conditioner heater in any outdoor position without a roof. For convenience, many families today often choose to install the heater on the terrace, on the roof or outside the wall, … without a roof. The heater placed in a place with direct sunlight will increase the temperature of the heater, the air conditioner will work less, the feeling of coolness will decrease, causing the indoor temperature to remain high. The best place to place the air conditioner heater is in a cool place, avoid direct sunlight and have a roof. No curtains or choose the wrong material, curtain color Many people think that curtains are only suitable for the house in winter days, so do not use curtains for summer. In fact, according to some studies, the window is the place to absorb 30% of the heat from the outside. Therefore, in the summer, curtains will be an intermediate item to separate the scorching sunlight outside from the space inside. Using curtains to cover the door on hot days will see the effect immediately, the room is noticeably cooler. Curtains help separate the outside sunlight from the inside space However, it is also necessary to choose the right material and curtain color to be suitable for the summer. Thick and dark velvet curtains are completely unreasonable for the summer house. Curtains with heavy materials and dark colors only make the room feel more stuffy and cramped. Currently, the market has many designs of curtains or lace curtains, thin curtains, bright colors that are both beautiful and convenient, suitable for all spaces from the living room to the bathroom, making the house cooler. on a hot day. “Forgot” the balcony The small garden on the balcony also contributes to making the house less hot Many people are afraid of cramped space or busy with work that “forget” the balcony area. Not taking advantage of the balcony area to “green” with trees is a mistake that makes the house hotter in the summer. Just a small garden with vines, hanging baskets, flower pots on the balcony also contributes to reducing the temperature of this area, softening the summer sun, making your home more comfortable in the winter. hot weather day.

Alleyways are only available in Hanoi’s Old Quarter

Along the streets such as: Hang Buom, Hang Chieu, Hang Duong, Lane Brick, Lo Su … are super-small alleyways, right behind the shops with splendid light; is known as a “specialty” of Hanoi Old Quarter.

Streets located in the old town area are called “diamond streets” of Hanoi, with a value of up to billions of VND / m2, equivalent to land prices in the most expensive cities in the world. like New York, Paris or Tokyo.

In the area of ​​Hang Ngang – Hang Dao, Dinh Tien Hoang, the price of road surface is said to be from 800 million to more than 1 billion VND / m2.

Most of the households living in these alleys are families with 3 generations, sharing a small house, only 10m2.

An alley on Hang Buom Street, deep and dark like a tunnel.

Mr. Le Cong Vinh (70 years old, Hang Buom street) said: “Although I am used to living here, sometimes I find it inconvenient. Every time you want to renovate the house, you have to pay more labor costs to carry the materials bit by bit from outside the entrance to the house ”.

According to Mr. Vinh, the biggest inconvenience here is the lack of common living space for everyone. Every time anyone’s house has a table, they have to borrow the space of the next house to have enough room for guests. When shopping for household appliances, everyone has to consider, calculate and only dare to buy items with the size that can pass through the lane.

Even during the day, even with the lights on, the alley is still dark.

Mr. Le Ngoc Anh (45 years old, Hang Buom street) expressed concern: “I only care for children who do not have a place to play and play. Every afternoon, they come home from school to see them sitting in the house watching TV or playing on the phone.

Alley space is narrow, many families with young children often have to go to the park or walk around the street to save trouble.

The lane’s meager space is used as a place for furniture, goods, and bicycles.

The electrical wiring and meters above are installed running along the small alley, potentially many risks, not ensuring electrical safety and fire prevention.

“The alley, the house is cramped, but it can’t be helped to move.”

Located deep in the alley only about 50cm wide, with dim electric lights on Hang Buom street, the house of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Long’s family has two floors, each floor is less than 10m2 but has 6 people, 3 generations. live together.

Mr. Long shared: “Although living conditions are quite tight, many households here do not want to move anywhere. Moreover, if we move, we do not know what kind of profession to make a living ”.

The small room, narrow alley, and Mr. Long’s furniture are only “moderate” in size.

An alley corner is used as a cooking place.

Many households have to share living space to save space.

The alley is very narrow, only one person can pass, so people often wait for each other to take each car out one by one …

Le Thi Gai (75 years old, Lo Su street, Hoan Kiem district) shared that her family has lived here since the 1960s, most of people here are manual labor, small businesses. in the old town. Although there are many inconveniences, the households living in these alleys are very united.

“Previously, 4 households in the alley used the same toilet, now life is better, each house built its own toilet, but we still told you to clean the way together. go, everyone’s living space ”.

A small, deep alley is nestled among flashy street shops.

Since 1998, the People’s Committee of Hanoi has started an old town migration project with the aim of reducing population density in the AQ from 823 people / ha in 2010 to 500 people / ha. Accordingly, the area of ​​Hoan Kiem old town has to move over 6,500 households, with about 27,000 people.

In the middle of 2019, the project of stretching the old town continues to restart after the years that seem to have “fallen asleep”. However, after more than 20 years of implementing this population relaxation project, the old quarters with a large population density, narrow houses crowded in deep streets continue to recur. Damage, peeling walls, steel core inside is common.

The alleys are not noisy, no hustle and bustle, still quietly nestled on the bustling streets of more than 20 years. The people living in it still keep harmony with each other, yield to the little common space, and preserve the civilized lifestyle of Ha Thanh land.
