The vegetation on the earth is just a bowl of fireworks. ?

Writer Wang Zengqi, a native of Gaoyou, Jiangsu,

Known as the best old man in China,

Although he is a scholar, he loves food alone.

The food he wrote is simple, elegant, kind, peaceful and full of fragrance.

Mr. Wang Zengqi loves to eat at home, and Wang Lao is also good at cooking.

Nie Hualing, who came to visit, drank all his dried silk.

Homemade fried dough sticks with meat stuffing have now become a classic dish in Gaoyou.

He manages three meals a day in his family, and he still insists on it in his 70 s.

199 1 year, Mr. Wang Zengqi was in Gaoyou.

From Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the southwest, from Wuhan to Beijing,

Wang Lao, who has experienced many ups and downs in his life, is always philosophical and free and easy in writing.

Stepping into old age, I ushered in my own creative peak.

Describing the local food flavor is always inseparable from the concern for Gaoyou, my hometown.

Double yellow duck eggs, egg drop soup, fried lion head, braised tiger shark with garlic,

These mouth-watering home-cooked dishes all come from the memory of Gaoyou.

Gaoyou, as a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, has many restaurants in both places to restore and reproduce Wang Lao's delicious food, but only the Yangzhou banquet was attended and authorized by Wang Zengqi's eldest son Wang Lang. Coincidentally, the chefs of Yangzhou banquet are mostly Gaoyou people. Based on similar hometown love, they insisted on repairing Wang Lao's family banquet for many years.

You must eat double yellow duck eggs when you go to Gaoyou. As the saying goes: eat a pair of yellow duck eggs, man. ? Gaoyou native duck is especially special, which is unique among China duck species. Although ducks are small, they have huge eggs.

The lake in gaoyou lake, with an altitude of 10 meters, is a suspended lake. Ducks eat live food, so the chances of laying double yellow eggs are higher. Wang Zengqi once described the duck eggs in his hometown as follows: the salted eggs are thin and oily, and protein is tender. Hold out a chopstick, cheep? Red oil came out. ?

In Wang Zengqi's memory, it is always snowy to drink pickles soup, and adding some hometown movies to the soup is childhood. However, after several hours of floods in my hometown, all kinds of crops have been reduced, only a bumper harvest. ? Wang Lao, who is tired of ci, doesn't miss ci even though he has been away from his hometown for thirty or forty years.

Until I was influenced by my teacher Shen Congwen, I had a long-lost feeling for him. In the vegetable market in Beijing, even if it is expensive, you will still buy a few slices and put them in the soup as he said. I really want to drink a bowl of pickled vegetable soup. I miss the snow in my hometown. ?

Wang Zengqi's lust for the lion's head stems from his memory of studying in Huai 'an Middle School. The lion's head served in the canteen is fried, lined with cabbage and steamed in a cage, which can best retain its original flavor.

He is very opposed to using a meat grinder to grind meat. Notice? Fine cutting and coarse cutting? In this way, the meat can be loose and not scattered, and it will melt in the mouth. This also reflects the essence of Huaiyang cuisine technology, and Mr. Wang Lao's attitude towards dishes is just like his pursuit of quality of life, meticulous and elegant, and plain and lively.

Tiger sharks, seemingly fierce in appearance, are extremely fresh and tender in cooking. This kind of fish requires extremely high living environment, and can only survive in particularly clear running water, so it is rare and is a very special river fresh in Gaoyou area.

Wang Zengqi left home for many years, and once again saw the long-awaited Tang Yan fish in Suzhou. I didn't expect it to be a tiger shark that I often ate when I was a child. I think of my hometown: The usual way to eat in our hometown is to pickle soup with vinegar and pepper. Tiger shark soup, the fish is tender and loose, and the soup is fresh and appetizing. ?

Wang's hometown is often visited by guests, and he will certainly prepare some home cooking and wine for them. This fried dough sticks with minced meat is his own innovative dish, crispy and refreshing, especially suitable for drinking.

This paper introduces the preparation of this dish in detail: take apart two fried dough sticks and cut them into small pieces half an inch long. Mixed pork (half fat and half thin) stuffing. Salt, chopped green onion and Jiang Mo are added to the stuffing, and a small amount of pickled mustard tuber or pickles and Sichuan winter vegetables are added. Poke the holes in the fritters with your fingers, fill them with meat, fry them step by step in the oil pan until the fritters are hard and the meat is cooked, then take them out and put them on a plate. This dish is crisp to chew. There is alum in the fried dough sticks, which is slightly astringent and better than fried spring rolls. ?

Wang tofu looks ordinary, but it tastes extremely delicious. It is a famous local specialty food in Gaoyou.

In addition to wang xing, it is called Wang Tofu. Wang? It's actually a cooking technique. Add oil residue to the casserole, add pig blood and tofu and cook together. Gaoyou people love spicy food, and Wang Lao is also deeply affected. What do you mean? One hot one is worth three fresh ones. ? I eat hot words.

The highest realm of eating goods is bachelor, right? Eat well and eat gracefully? Between the lines, it is the best taste in the world.
