Gillian asked me, what do you want to eat?
I replied "Wind Pig".
Ah Jiao Ah Chun said that she had never heard of it.
Ah Chun made a phone call, and there was no clue.
Just when we were at a loss, Ah Chun suddenly remembered a person. Who is this person? Leave aside the suspense. (Bad laughs)
The legendary Wind Pig
There are more places to eat "wind chicken". When the weather is getting colder, the slaughtered chickens are not hairy or washed, and after the stomach is stuffed with seasonings, they are tied with rope and hung outside to dry. The flavor is unique and can be eaten for a long time.
Wind pig, similar to wind chicken. The difference is that after the wind pig is washed, it is then smeared with seasonings, salt, wine, etc., and then air-dried.
As he spoke, a man came. Ah Chun introduced that this person's name is Yang Liuge, a native of the locals.
The sixth brother, who looks about one meter and seventy-five meters tall, has strong muscles.
The sixth brother originally drove a bus, then changed careers, and now does outdoor hiking expansion.
The sixth brother is a "character" in Libo, and he knows everything about Libo's local affairs. In particular, he knows the local cuisine very well.
Ah Chun said that this is a strange teacher, from Wuxi, is a Jiangnan gourmet. He especially wanted to know about Libo's wind pig. We inquired about it and there was no result.
"Yes! I eat too much. "Brother Six didn't even pause for a second." However, it is not the season. Enter the Wax moon to start buying. ”
The sixth brother continued, but I haven't eaten it in years.
Why?
Because, the best libo wind pig is lost, no more.
The sixth brother fell into contemplation, a little, the sentence was slow...
There is a legendary figure in The Old Town of Libo called Yang Ercang. This man has a unique job, making wind pigs, and making a living from it, doing it once a year, and the money sold is his living expenses for a year.
Ergun had never been married in his life, single, and at odds with his brothers, and died suddenly ten years ago. So his stunts are not passed on.
Since then, the sixth brother has never eaten wind pork again. The delicacy of the world has become the wind in the air, gradually drifting away.
What a shame!
Mr. and Mrs. Ah Chun personally made bean rice hot pot, handmade meat dumplings, and tofu dumplings to entertain us that night, and bought fragrant pork, paper-wrapped fish, hundreds of leaves, beef and so on.
Bean rice hot pot, paper wrapped fish, sour meat, etc., you ask what the taste, a strange not to repeat, but also invite the gods to taste it personally. Hahaha!

Reference: "Wind Pig" is a traditional specialty of Guizhou Libo, which has a history of more than 100 years. According to the Qing Dynasty's "Libo County Chronicle", "The piglets in this county are particularly fat and tender, and the wind pig roast pig is famous." "As a local specialty, it sells well at home and abroad. Flavor characteristics: 1. Libo wind pig is during the winter solstice to spring, the piglets are slaughtered, and the whole pig is pickled and dried, so it is named. It is beautifully shaped, with its front legs stretched flat, its hind legs bent, and its head tilted to one side, like a sleeping live pig. 2. The wind pig has a yellowish color and an abnormal fragrance. Hang it indoors, and over the course of several months, the meat remains unchanged, tender as ever, and the aroma is endless. This delicacy is tender and has a flavor that outweighs that of pork, and is a famous dish for high-end feasts and a valuable gift for relatives and friends.
