Jiangxi, a large province with beautiful scenery. Mountains and rivers, let Xu Xiake travel to Jiangxi four times in her life, the longest time is two and a half months.
After that, he also praised this place for "towering cliffs and pillars, piercing layers of lightning, and inserting nine places below".
However, Jiangxi's consistent low-key and introverted style has made this place of "Wuhua Tianbao" one of the provinces with the "least sense of existence".
For foodies, the biggest loss is to rub shoulders with the food here, which is really regrettable.
Jiangxi has contributed too many familiar delicacies to us: Gannan navel orange, Nanchang mixed flour, Xunyang fish fillet...
There are Internet celebrities, hardcore, and strange people, but most people will not associate it with this land in their consciousness.
Just like the unknown jiangxi capital is Nanchang, referred to as "Gan".
Although "Jiangxi spicy" has long become the taste bud of this province, Xiaobian still dug up a "forgotten place of chili peppers".
Their tastes are close to Guangdong's, and the light Hakka cuisine also makes people feel confused, not believing in Jiangxi.
It is named after the abbreviation of Jiangxi Province - Ganzhou.
Plus, there's good news. The much-anticipated Ganzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway will be fully opened on December 18 this year.
At that time, it will only take 2 hours from Shenzhen North to Ganzhou West! Cantonese people, finally can not be deterred by Jiangxi cuisine!
Close to a city
The best way to do this is to put your taste buds first
Ganzhou can be called the knowledge blind spot of most people, but when it comes to Gannan navel oranges, you must have heard about it.
However, Ganzhou's name is not only a "largest producer of navel oranges in the country".
It was the starting point of the Red Army's Long March and the birthplace of the Pearl River and the Ganjiang River, an area equivalent to 1/4 of Jiangxi, and the only city named after the abbreviation of Jiangxi Province.
There are more than a dozen counties in Ganzhou, which can be said to be the most populous city in Jiangxi, and the four words of land use are very appropriate.
Ganzhou cuisine is a summary of the specialties of various counties, such as rice noodle fish in Xingguo County, beef soup in Ruijin County, radish dumplings in Xinfeng County, meatballs in Ningdu County, three fresh powders in Anyuan County, etc., and so on.
"China on the Tip of the Tongue 2" even mentioned three Kinds of Jiangxi cuisine in one breath in the first episode, two of which are from Ganzhou.
However, if you want to go to Ganzhou to forage for food, Xiaobian can give you a wake-up call.
In Ganzhou, there is a big feature, the restaurants on the street are almost the same name, you must do a good job before going, otherwise it will really be "tigers and mice stupid and unclear".
You must not think of things
Ganzhou cuisine turned out to be Hakka cuisine
As mentioned above, Ganzhou is the only city in Jiangxi that does not eat spicy, which is actually not completely accurate. After all, there is "not afraid of spicy" blood flowing in the body, but the taste is relatively light.
Ganzhou, which is rich in land and materials, is divided into two factions, the north and the south.
The Ganzhou people in the north are "spicy as fate", and Anyuan, Xunwu, Dingnan and Quannan, which are located in the south, have opened up a unique Jiangxi flavor.
In Ganzhou, 95% of the population belongs to the Hakka people, and it also has the largest number of "Hakka houses" in the world.
Due to its unique geographical location and cultural environment, Hakka cuisine can be eclectic, not only retaining the salty and spicy in Jiangxi cuisine, but also integrating the fresh sweetness of Cantonese and Fujian cuisine, thus forming a unique cuisine.
For example, the two most famous Hakka dishes in Ganzhou, three cups of chicken and small fried fish.
The three-cup chicken, long mistaken for a Taiwanese specialty, comes from Ningdu, Jiangxi. Made with only rice wine, lard or tea oil and soy sauce, the local three yellow chickens are cooked with a strong aroma of meat, sweet and salty and fresh flavors, which is full of aftertaste.
Small stir-fried fish is the undisputed representative of Ganzhou cuisine, and the Hakka flavor is overflowing.
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fresh and spicy under the rice, just listening to the name can make the wandering wanderer salivate!
