News from Pudong Nanhui Old Port and some vegetable markets in Shanghai: Spring snow leech is picked in the middle of this month, pickled, and the first batch of snow leeches are new at the end of this month. The retail price of pickles in the snow this spring is the same as last year, 4-6 yuan per catty.
It is reported that the suburban snow lily is mainly produced from Pudong Nanhui old port, after entering the middle of March, the old port spring snow lily harvest, this year's old port snow li li hao planting area of nearly 600 acres, estimated output of nearly 10,000 tons. After harvesting, the grower will take out a large vat of pickling, throw the snow into the jar, and put it in salt to marinate.
At present, there are three kinds of pickles sold in the Shanghai market, namely pickled cabbage pickled by green vegetables, pickles pickled by mustard greens and pickles pickled by sherry, of which pickles marinated with snow are the most popular among Shanghai citizens, and about 80% of the pickles sold in the Shanghai market are produced in Nanhui Old Port.
Tripe Green Food Co., Ltd. is the most well-known sherry pickle production enterprise in the Old Port area of Nanhui, the company's general manager Song Chenjun told reporters,
As early as 100 years ago, Nanhui Laogang began to grow sherry and pickle sherry pickles, the company still uses the most traditional way to pickle pickles, the company's technique of pickling sherry pickles has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage, it is expected that this year the company's production of sherry pickles will exceed 5,000 tons.
Snow lily is harvested in two seasons, namely the harvest in late autumn and early winter in November, and the harvest in late winter and early spring in mid-March. After the harvest of the snow, remove the yellow leaves and old leaves, do not wash, put them in a pond 2 meters long, 3 meters wide and 1.6 meters high, put a layer of vegetables and lay a layer of salt, so that the layers are laid. In order to press the vegetables, place buckets of water on top of the laying vegetables. During this period, due to the squeeze, the laid vegetables will sink, and the sinking vegetables need to be covered with snow and sprinkled with salt, and the vegetables will be laid tightly to the height of the pool.
Song Chenjun told reporters,
"Generally 10 pounds of vegetables need to use 1 pound of salt. After the vegetable salt is laid, it is necessary to put a wooden board on the top of the pool, and then seal it with edible plastic paper, and the top is also coated with mud, so that the whole pool is airtight, the whole production process does not use any additives, and after 3 months, the pool is opened, and what is taken out is the fragrant snow pickles. ”
In the past, when the old Hong Kong people pickled pickles, in order to press the vegetables tightly, they would repeatedly stampede barefoot. There is a legend that it is really because the old Port people repeatedly stampede with their feet that the old Port snow pickles are delicious.
At present, there are two kinds of sherry pickles produced in Nanhui Laogang, one is yellow pickles that are pickled after 3 months, and the other is green pickles that are pickled for several hours. The sealed yellow pickle has a shelf life of 2 years, during which the yellow pickles can be taken out and supplied to the market at any time; the green pickles after pickling for several hours can be directly marketed, and if they are put into the refrigerator for quick freezing, they can be taken out to the market when needed.
From mid-March to the end of April, the season of fresh sherry pickles is pickled and served directly to the market without quick freezing. The biggest difference between the two is that fresh snow green pickles are crisp and refreshing, and the flavor is full, while frozen snow green pickles are a bit "tough" in Shanghainese, and the bite is not crisp, so fresh snow green pickles are far more delicious than frozen snow green pickles. Many citizens like to use fresh snow green pickles to cook soup, stir-fry, steamed fish and so on.
In the past two days, Nanhui Old Port Snow Green Pickles have been on the new, Liyang Road, Madang Road, Shunchang Road and other parts of the Shanghai vegetable market, as well as Dongyuhang Road along the road many vegetable shops, just pickled Snow Lee Green Pickles have been stalled, its price is 4-6 yuan / kg. The stall owners said that the price of the snow green pickles they sold has not increased for six or seven years, so many citizens rush to buy "fresh", with spring shoots, pond fish, small yellow fish, edamame, etc., or fried or steamed or roasted soup, the taste is very delicious.
Aunt Qin, who lives on Lushun Road, said that there are many spring vegetables on the market in the spring, and the umami is sufficient, and it is more delicious to put some snow green pickles to make dishes. It is reported that Aunt Qin is a native of Ningbo, Zhejiang, who came to Shanghai from Ningbo in the early years, and the craft of cooking vegetables combines the characteristics of Shanghai cuisine and Ningbo cuisine.
"Ningbo people like to eat snow green pickle yellow fish soup the most, and I have made this Ningbo Shanghai dish several times in the past two days."
