Maybe it's because there are too few delicacies that I can eat when I was a child, or maybe the text description is more imaginative charm, or maybe I was born a foodie, and when I was a student, I took Chinese classes when I was a student, and the most impressive thing was the text about eating.
Kong Yiji's fennel beans, Zhu Ziqing's oranges, the hunter's roasted grouse, the watermelon guarded by the young man's leap soil, and even the Ru he almost stabbed, although I still don't know what kind of creature "Ru" is, I still think that this kind of game must have a different flavor. Inventory of some of the 6 unforgettable delicacies that have appeared in Chinese textbooks have been hungry for many years.
1. "Duck Eggs of the Dragon Boat Festival" - Gaoyou Salted Duck Eggs
When it comes to the food in Chinese textbooks, perhaps the first thing that most people think of is Wang Zengqi's work "Duck Eggs of the Dragon Boat Festival", Wang Zengqi is an out-and-out gourmet, in which he focused on the salted duck eggs produced in his hometown Gaoyou: "Gaoyou salted eggs are characterized by fine quality and oil. The egg white is tender, not like the hair shaft and powder elsewhere, and the entrance is like chewing lime. There is a lot of oil that is especially not available anywhere else...... Usually eaten, it is generally eaten by knocking out the "empty head" and digging it with chopsticks. As soon as the chopsticks pricked down, the red oil came out. The yellow of Gaoyou's salted eggs is red......"
In the classroom, it is easy to get hungry, and after Mr. Wang's text, the fragrant and sandy duck egg yolk seems to be sipping open in his mouth, and it seems that someone is showing off in front of him, and his greedy gurgling stomach is the soundtrack. This class is really learning this salted duck egg of the Dragon Boat Festival from body to heart, and I can't wait to squeeze the author away and replace it with myself, imagining that I use chopsticks to pick up the empty head to see the bright yellow red oil come out, and hurriedly lean over to suck and lick, and eat it with a mouthful of embarrassment.
Salted duck eggs are available everywhere, Gaoyou salted duck eggs have long been prestigious, there was a Qing Dynasty "pickled eggs" in the article "pickled eggs to Gaoyou is the best ......", and now there are "duck eggs of the Dragon Boat Festival". The duck eggs of Gaoyou Ma Duck are pickled out of salted duck eggs, the egg whites are fresh and smooth, and the egg yolk is rich in oil, which has long become a specialty of Gaoyou City, and is also a representative delicacy of Gaoyou City's intangible cultural heritage list.
Gaoyou salted duck eggs are now not only Gaoyou's city card, but also a memory among diners from all over the country.
2. "My Uncle Hule" - Oysters
After chatting about Gaoyou's salted duck eggs, I have to mention another text, the mouth-watering oysters in "My Uncle Hule".
Although Hule's situation in the text is sad, Maupassant's portrayal of the lady eating oysters is vividly unfolded...... They first held the oyster shell with a delicate handkerchief, stretched their mouths slightly forward so as not to stain their skirts, and then sucked briskly, sucking the meat and juice into their mouths at once......"
With a prie, a hand, a support, and a suck, the smooth oyster slipped into the mouth. When I first saw this, I read the textbook and swallowed it, and it seemed that I also tasted the tender and smooth oysters together.
It may be that you are inland, and you have to stop and watch it for a long time when you see the sea catching in the short video: the sea catcher takes the oyster knife in his hand to search for the stone wall where the oysters grow, inserts the tip of the knife into the gap between the oysters' openings, and pries open the shell with a twist of the wrist, revealing the milky white oyster meat, sprinkles the lemon juice he carries with him and tastes it carefully, or washes it with clean water in his hand and eats it directly.
Several regions where Chinese oysters are famous: Rushan oysters, Nanao oysters, Beihai oysters, Rongcheng oysters...... You can't finish it, and now that the weather is warmer, the oysters at the night market stalls are packing up and getting ready to receive diners again, so don't miss it.
3. "Huaixiang May" - Huaihua rice
Spring eats spring, which coincides with April, and it is time for the acacia flowers to mature and bloom. Sophora flowers are seasonal, usually only a week to eat, and if you miss it, you have to wait another year.
And in "Huaixiang May": "Huaihua rice is steamed with rice mixed with acacia flowers." For salty food, pour sesame oil, garlic paste and aged vinegar, and for sweet food, sprinkle fried sesame seeds and mix with acacia nectar. "The salty, sweet acacia rice makes up the author's childhood, and it is also our childhood. Huaihua rice is no stranger to us, and we probably ate it when we were young.
To make acacia rice, take advantage of the opening of the acacia flowers, pick a bag of fragrant and tender locust flowers, then wash and control the water, add flour and stir well, spread on the steamer and steam it. The method is simple, but the taste is not simple, and the sweet and salty tastes can be satisfied. There are also people who eat the original flavor without adding anything, and eat the natural fragrance of acacia flowers.
Sophora flowers are rich in protein, vitamins and other nutrients, in addition to eating locust flowers alone, you can also make acacia nectar and acacia tea, which are rare and delicious.
Fourth, "I love the bayberry of my hometown" - bayberry
“...... The fresh red flesh was stained with bright red juice on the lips and tongue at the same time. ”
Just looking at this sentence, you may not have thought of what kind of fruit this is, so the next one: "The bayberry that is not ripe is sour and sweet, and when it is ripe, it is sweet, so that people love it more and more when they eat it." "It can help you remember the sweetness and sourness of eating bayberry.
The bayberry that blooms in April and bears fruit in June has a history of more than 2,000 years, which is not only delicious to eat, but also has high medicinal value, and can "expel phlegm and stop vomiting ......". But we can't eat too much at a time, it's easy to get angry.
This "agate in the fruit", grown in the south, is rich in a variety of minerals and vitamins, and the content of calcium, phosphorus and iron far exceeds the content of other fruits. In addition to fresh food, bayberry wine is also famous in fruit wine, and the wine is soaked in the fragrant sweet and sour flesh to sip the rich fruity aroma.
5. "Lychee" - Lychee
Hong Guan Gong, Bai Liu Bei, and Hei Zhang Fei formed a righteousness, and everyone guessed a fruit. Don't go around in circles, the mystery is - lychee.
I remember that in the article "Lychee", the author described his mother's demeanor when eating lychees: "...... Scratch the lychee skin with the little fingernail cover, carefully peel off the skin and not let the skin fall off, holding the lychee in the palm of his hand, like holding a chick that has just pecked the eggshell, looking at it with pity and reluctant to swallow it......"
The sweet and watery lychee seems to have become sweeter and more watery in the text, and its attractiveness has doubled. When I first read the text, lychees were a rarity for me in the north, I couldn't buy them usually, and I ate less when I bought them, and I shared them one by one at home. Peel off the red shell, the white and clear flesh is hidden in it, and it tastes tender and juicy, which is worthy of the name of "a ride on the red dust and the smile of the concubine".
VI. "Picture Tao" —— 杨桃
When learning this lesson, I don't know if you have imagined the fruit star fruit in your mind like I did. The text does not describe the taste of star fruit, but in my childhood impression, star fruit is a rare thing that is even rarer than lychees.
A fruit that looks like a five-pointed star, who can not be curious? Later, I happened to see star fruit in the supermarket, and I went around to see if it was a five-pointed star, I wonder if you have explored it after seeing it? Unfortunately, star fruit is not as famous as it is when you meet it, and after eating it, you are also very disappointed, and your curiosity is suddenly gone.
- Lao Jing said -
After saying goodbye to school life for a long time, eating food in textbooks now will bring back memories of the original campus. Those beautiful or not good memories have become history that cannot be returned, and from time to time I take them out and touch the aftertaste, sighing "thinking about the ...... back then" #2024美食日记#
