Have you watched the Olympics? Quan Hong Chan is too powerful, full score hat trick.
Because of this perfect leap into the action, YueShijun, who has been thinking about the angle for Quanzhou's application for heritage, finally came up with today's topic, and once again congratulated and thanked the Chinese Olympic athletes.
Peanuts are an imported product in China, and like the nature of quanzhou, it is inseparable from the ship.
At present, the more unified view is that the peanuts we are familiar with now are crops native to South America, which were introduced to China from the southeast coast around the 16th century, that is, the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this port city in Fujian, the people who have shacha sauce in their minds do not know this wonderful place, and they must learn to appreciate the taste of peanut butter before they can go deep into its soul.
1. The carbon water of the finale cannot be separated from it
The streets of Quanzhou, the homes of ordinary people, the palace-level banquets, and the brine noodles with a little soup but not the soup noodles have become the favorite flavor of Quanzhou people under the background of lard, beef and bean sprouts.
A brine noodle is often the grand finale of the banquet, and after the repeated attacks of red crab, sea bass, octopus, and large intestine sea cucumber pot, the brine noodles that test the chef's basic skills will appear. As for what is the correct ingredient for brine noodles, no matter who you ask, the most quanzhou people say is: "You can put any ingredients you want." ”
Mix the fresh beef evenly, and then a necessary dish with flavor, such as leeks or garlic seedlings, alkaline water surface into the water, someone adds sweet potato powder, the important thing is a spoonful of peanut butter, and then pour seafood, and so the soup base grunts to absorb the taste of seafood, lye water and peanut butter together make the soup thick, with refreshing seafood, is the taste of Quanzhou day.
There are also many snack masters from all over Fujian who have gathered in Quanzhou to make a living, and there are many shacha noodles, meat swallows and flat food shops all over the street, often starting from a small stall and slowly growing and developing. These snacks are available throughout Fujian, but the taste is slightly jagged, and the shacha noodles in Quanzhou are heavier than the peanut butter in Xiamen.
The filling and soup base of the meat swallow do not add thick spices, and only the fresh pork and boiled pork bone broth every day can highlight the fresh flavor of the meat itself. A bowl of meat swallow, a bowl of mixed noodles, is a quite comfortable meal, meat swallow reflects the Quanzhou people's deep understanding of meat, mixed noodles not only implement the history of Quanzhou ancestors from the Central Plains to move the crown, but also inherit the city once four spices gathered in a vein.
Quanzhou's mixed noodles are divided into ramen system, oil noodle system and fine noodle system, the method is similar to Zhangzhou, no matter which series of mixed noodles can not be separated from peanut butter, plus sweet and spicy sauce, fried onions, the whole bowl of noodles are covered with sauce, let people have the feeling of eating sweet water noodles in Sichuan, but the temperament of peanut butter is more simple and thick, even if it is not spicy to confuse people's senses, it can still make people drink the soup base clean.
2. After a stick, peanuts give sweetness
Quanzhou's meat dumplings, which changed the downturn of the festival supporting roles, landed on the C position of the snack bar, because it was too colorful.
Meat dumplings can have shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, taro grains, pork, first soak the glutinous rice and then dry, mix with brine soup, shallot oil, put in the pot to fry dry and loose, and then with braised meat, shellfish, raw chestnuts, abalone and other stirred evenly, wrapped with bamboo leaves and cooked.
Let's put it this way, that is, to fry a full of glutinous rice, make it into rice dumplings, and then boil it, and out is the meat dumplings of Quanzhou. This kind of meat dumpling is calm and solid, as if it gives the stomach a boring stick, but it is also a boring stick that makes people feel unguarded, the meat aroma and glutinous rice, coupled with the feeling of soup such as sauce, sitting in the small shop on Quanzhou West Street and eating a portion, making people feel very guilty.
As if the food wasn't sinful enough, the restaurant drizzled with sweet and spicy sauce and homemade peanut butter to sweep away the aromas of carbs, red meat, seafood and nuts. Horizontal, really horizontal.
3. Eat grills and skewers like milk tea
"Polysaccharide, less sugar, half sugar?"
You think it's in a milk tea shop, no, it's a barbecue takeaway in Quanzhou.
Quanzhou people love to eat sweet, one of the important genres of barbecue is sugar, in addition to their takeaway interface has an option: see if you want to brush peanut butter. In 2019, Quanzhou landed on the fourth place in the "list of driving trips after midnight", which is a veritable city of supper, and every Quanzhou person has a barbecue in their own supper. Tourists will experience their first peanut butter baptism at the barbecue here, and at the city's famous chicken leg shop, people rush to roast chicken legs.
The roasted chicken thigh itself is not surprising, and what makes it famous is mainly the secret sauce, which bites down, and the touching salty and sweet aroma of peanut butter and the gravy in the chicken leg are intertwined into the mouth, making people dizzy.
Another perfect match for peanut butter is the white rice in this shop, which is actually a flattened piece of rice, but because it sucks up the taste of peanuts and sweet and spicy sauce in the sauce, every molecule is adjusted into a spice bomb on the tip of the tongue.
Walking on the streets of Quanzhou, see the words "Indonesian satay", it is bound to go in and take a look, Fujian itself is a hometown of overseas Chinese, the number of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia is large, And there is an Indonesian village in Shuangyang, Luojiang District, Quanzhou City, and in the whole urban area, you can also eat very authentic Indonesian snacks. The main body of the satay sauce is peanut butter, and the stall owner's homemade sauce also has peanut kernels visible to the naked eye, and the feeling of crunching and chewing on the burnt meat skewers while biting the roasted meat skewers is very wonderful.
Since the skewers can be dipped in peanut butter, it is naturally spicy and hot. Piping hot sausage, tofu, lotus root, kelp, enoki mushrooms, after the baptism of peanut butter, a thick peanut fragrance comes to the nose, here, peanut butter and Beijing spicy hot sauce the same, must be thick and fragrant, to be willing to put, in order to be able to attract repeat customers.
With the cross-flow of peanut butter, you can also find that Quanzhou people also love fried things deeply, they like to pick out the various parts of the chicken specially for martial arts cuisine, fried chicken wings, fried chicken legs are only basic, fried chicken neck, chicken steak, chicken shells, etc., are people rushed into the alley, sit down and pay the reason. The boss and the customer do not pay much attention to the baked appearance, often from a distance, like a roasted stone, but people eat a scorched aroma, and then drizzled with peanut butter and sweet and spicy sauce, chicken as if just give people a big peanut butter container.
Every place in Quanzhou has a classic fried stall, vinegar meat, taro cake, fried dates, vegetable head cake, simple and delicious.
This kind of ancient noodles is less compatible with peanut butter, but as long as the owner of the fried skewer stall in Quanzhou is said to face the same soul torture: "Do I want to brush peanut butter in the end?" ”
It can be seen how important and special peanut butter is in the minds of Quanzhou people.

4. The brine flavor also falls into it
A delicious city, how can there be less stalls that specialize in the marinated taste of wine. The marinade of Quanzhou people is not only used to serve wine. The high-stacked brine stalls, from the perspective of the locals, are the kingdom that serves delicious toppings with beef soup, brine noodles and even shacha noodles.
Shiny brine intestines, tripe with waves, duck gizzards, duck tongue, duck breast are all common types of Quanzhou brine shops, here is not known for spicy taste, spices, green onions, garlic in addition to the intimate to the customers of this peanut city sweet and spicy sauce and peanut butter.
In many brine shops, although it is not specially equipped with peanut butter, it has become a soul and is scattered in the seasoning of each ingredient, so it has also achieved the unique status of Quanzhou brine.
5. Can't stop in addition to the snail, but also your heart that yearns for the night
After this series of peanut shocks, seafood was not spared. There are all kinds of snail stalls in the city, and they are always crowded at night. A small square table, a few plastic stools, three friends sitting around, a bowl of Minnan characteristic brine noodles, served with vinegar meat, and then a gel beer.
The sound of "beeping" is heard, it is the boss who is shaking the "chirping snail", mixing peanut butter with the boiled screws, and the melodious southern tone of the ancient style of the stage opposite is heard in the lively city.
"It's like the faint singing of a tall building in the distance."
"Tweet snail" is mostly made of black snail, the meat is tender, slightly sweet, open the box containing "tweet snail", first see a piece of maroon peanut butter, the screw is half floating and half sinking, the outside sauce is removed, and then the screw meat is picked out to eat, which is a quite skilled tongue tip action of Quanzhou people.
In shops with more customers, you can also use a machine to shake the snail, and you can also order peanut butter to fry the snail. And in the small stall specializing in black snails, the shopkeeper poured chili powder and other spices into an enamel cup together with the screws, covered the lid, and shook it vigorously with his hands, when he stopped, he buckled the cup to the table, and there was a lot of gambling dealer's dice-shaking temperament, and he asked the customer in front of him: "Buy big or buy small".
Outsiders come to eat, it is inevitable that the screw is too small, but they can't stop, and when the lips and teeth have been sour, they reluctantly stop their mouths, which is the real "self-laughter for the mouth busy".
