It is said that when I was born, most of my family were disappointed to see that I was a boy. Because I have two brothers and one sister, two men and two women are the ideal models for my elders, so my family prefers me to be a girl. In addition, the rural conditions at that time were really poor. My mother has no milk and can't buy milk powder in the countryside. She is worried that she can't live.
According to my mother, my grandmother raised me with rice paste when I was a child. This kind of rice paste is steamed with glutinous rice, dried and ground into powder. When you want to eat, cook the glutinous rice flour or soak it in boiling water.
I was deeply impressed by the way grandma cooked rice paste for me. Grandma spread out the straw stalks and made them into long strips. Then she put the glutinous rice flour in a aluminum pot spoon, lit it and stirred it quickly. After a few minutes, the straw was burned and the rice paste was cooked. After a little cooling, you can eat it soon. In that era of food shortage, glutinous rice paste should be my first memory of food.
Everyone's hometown has its own unique cuisine. My hometown is Anqing, where there is a kind of food ... Jiangmao jiaozi is famous all over the country.
Jiangmao dumplings can be said to be a specialty of Anqing. When served at one end, people's appetite will increase greatly. I saw a small white crescent moon lying quietly in the bowl, taking a bite, and the delicious soup burned your taste buds, making you want to eat another bowl involuntarily. When foreign friends come here, they all say that this "Jiangmao jiaozi" is delicious, but the locals will say, "This is' Gang' instead of Jiang!" It turns out that this jiaozi has another story.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a man named Jiang Mao, because there was a lock of white hair in the back of his head, so he was called Jiang Mao. He can cook jiaozi. They are very delicious, so he named them "Mao Gang jiaozi". If you come to Anqing without eating Jiangmao dumplings, you can say that your trip is completely in vain, because Jiangmao dumplings are the most representative food in Anqing. As long as it doesn't exceed four miles, you can smell the fragrance of Jiang Mao jiaozi. You are sure to follow this fragrance all the way to the past and then have a big meal.
Jiang Mao jiaozi not only smells good, but also tastes boring. When I was a child, my mother took me to dinner, and I couldn't get through when I ordered food, because people couldn't get water in the three floors inside and three floors outside, let alone people. We finally lined up, and I ordered a jiaozi with great interest.
Jiaozi served, and a fragrant smell came to my nose. There are chopped green onion and shredded chicken in the blue and white porcelain bowl. Looking at the white moon in the bowl, they began to taste it. I put a whole jiaozi in my mouth, and suddenly, I felt like I was in a fairyland on earth. Delicious chicken soup melts in the taste buds, and chunks of meat burn in the throat, which is hundreds of times more delicious than Italian pizza. I also poured a little Chili oil on it and put it in my mouth. A burning sensation invaded my mouth, and even the soup and meat stuffing became burning. I remember this feeling.
Anqing's special Jiangmao dumplings, the best dumplings in history, are only the first, not the second. Please look for Anqing Jiangmao jiaozi to eat jiaozi.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and every place has its own unique food. There is a delicious food in my hometown-seafood.
I believe everyone has eaten seafood, such as fish, shrimp and crab. Have you ever eaten the seafood in Jiaozhou, our hometown? If you have eaten it, you will never forget its taste. If you haven't eaten, I'll introduce you.
Let's introduce the fish in my hometown first this time. Our hometown likes stewed fish best. Prepare ginger, onion, star anise, dried pepper, etc. First, clean up the whole fish. Then add water, put the auxiliary materials into the pot, bring to a boil with strong fire, and turn to medium heat for stewing until the soup turns white. Finally, add salt, pepper and soup bowl for about 30 minutes. It tastes delicious, the meat is soft and has a unique smell of pork.
Many poets eat fish and feel deeply. For example, Su Shi wrote "Hui Chong Chunjiang Night Scene"
There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and there are duck prophets in the spring water heating. The beach is covered with wormwood, asparagus is beginning to sprout, and puffer fish are preparing to swim upstream from the sea back to the river.
Up to now, every time I think of stewed fish in my hometown, my mouth will water. I hope everyone will come and have a taste when they are free. It will definitely make you have a full meal.
In the exquisite window, those snacks with bright appearance and superior value are more and more loved by everyone. They can be seen everywhere in the street, such as cakes, desserts, fancy drinks and so on. However, with the improvement of people's living standards, those traditional foods gradually disappear.
Walk into Class 5 (3) and let me show you the taste of traditional food again. We specially invited the uncles of the intangible cultural heritage representative project "Dehetang Square" in Cixi to make the traditional Cixi food "Rat Sugar Ball" for everyone.
The students greeted their uncles politely. I watched excitedly as my uncles took out a large piece of yellow-brown sugar from the bucket and tied it to a stick. Uncle Zhu skillfully does every movement, hanging, pulling, hanging, pulling ... this movement is endless, and we find that the color of sugar is getting lighter and lighter.
Uncle Zhu took the sugar off the stick, and suddenly, an attractive fragrance floated in front of me. I saw my uncle slowly knead the sugar on the table and flatten it, and then wrapped the stuffing in it. It really looks like a big jiaozi in the end. It's not over yet! Later, the uncles kneaded it long, and at this time, the stuffing has been evenly integrated into it. The uncles grabbed a point with their thumbs, twisted it and pulled it again. "Wow!" The students cheered, and the first "mouse candy ball" was completed. Uncle Zhu told us that the scientific name of "mouse sugar ball" is water sugar ball. Because the water candy ball has a long tail like a mouse, it is also commonly known as "mouse candy ball".
This seemingly simple production process is actually not that simple. 3 1 mouse has been born, but look at them. They are tall, short, fat and thin, and their tails are long and short. They are always "special"!
I can finally taste this delicious "little mouse"! It tastes sweet but not greasy, which is much more delicious than those sugar weighed in bulk. It's fascinating and full of praise.
Everyone tastes the traditional food in their hometown, with sweet mouth, sweet heart and sweet smile!
