National Day out of the circle, first to Xiongyue, bayuquan, big stone bridge, back through Haicheng, originally planned to go to Haicheng Great Compassion Temple in the morning to see, surrounded by mountains, deliberately drive around the past, the result of the gate is locked, this big old far away ate a closed door soup, turn around and go in, just to lunch time, what to eat is always a classic topic, everyone said that Haicheng has a very distinctive local snack, belongs to the characteristic food passed down for a hundred years, straight to the cattle village more than ten kilometers away from Haicheng, At the entrance of Niuzhuang Town stands a large character, intangible cultural heritage food - Niuzhuang pie, this town is also a AAA tourist area, no admission fees.

More than 600 years ago, Niuzhuang Town has been an important distribution center for agricultural and sideline products in the three northeastern provinces, Niuzhuang is known as the Jiangnan Water Town outside the Guanwai, the Liaohe Taizi River and other water systems surround the town, so the waterway shipping is extremely developed, when the sea boat can be traced from the Prince River to Niuzhuang, the Ming Dynasty also set up a post here to build an earthen city, and then the Qing Dynasty Emperor Taiji personally supervised the construction and expansion of the masonry fortress city defense, the ancient city wall of Niuzhuang has been dumped at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and now a trace of ruins can be found, and it is said that the Qing Dynasty ancient town Niuzhuang once had eight scenes. At present, only the Taiping Bridge built in that year has survived. In 1858, Niuzhuang was officially opened as an international port (actually Yingkou), and many firsts in the northeast region were in Haicheng Niuzhuang, such as the first inspection department in the northeast, the first post office in the northeast, the first treaty port in the northeast, the first consulate in the northeast (English), the first church in the northeast and so on. During the Sino-Japanese War, Haicheng Niuzhuang was also a main battlefield, and the Qing army would attack Haicheng as the longest-lasting, most concentrated and largest land battle in the Sino-Japanese War. Later, the river channel also changed, the road and railway rose, the water transport was no longer popular, and the business in the town gradually declined.
In the heyday of Niuzhuang gathered merchants from all over the world, they brought the good taste of their hometowns, of course, there were some improvements in the later period, so there were many special snacks here, which were recorded in the "Niuzhuang Anecdotes", when Niuzhuang had more than ten snacks, including Haiji pie, Shanji pie, Hanji bacon, Gaoji roast chicken, Fengji pastry, Dingji Lantern, Huiji fritters, Tianji flatbread, Maji roasted wheat, Liu Ji jingbao, Chengji Restaurant, Chen Ji fried cake, etc. Unfortunately, most of the snacks have been lost, only Haicheng pie has been passed down to this day, there are several pie making at that time, the most famous pie making pie is Gao Xiaoshan's father Gao Fuchen, according to legend, Gao Xiaoshan's grandson Gao Wei, Gao Xiaoshan's apprentice Tong Xiangfu, Cui Chunqing, Zhao Hongcai and other people took over Gao Xiaoshan's craftsmanship, after years of inheritance, Haicheng Niuzhuang pie has become one of the most popular staple foods in northeast China, there are dozens of pie shops in Niuzhuang Street, and there are two traditional skills to be inherited. That's the Haicheng Horn Play and the Haicheng Stilts.
At the peak of national day tourism, more than a dozen chefs in the hotel are making pies, and many diners at the door are waiting in line to buy pies, and the queue number has reached more than thirty. Because there are too many restaurant diners, we can't afford to line up. Fortunately, there are other pie shops on one street, and there are more than a dozen pie shops on this street, so let's try to see another pie shop, and there are seven or eight well-known pie shops on the street.
Gao Xiaoshan Hotel's vegetarian three fresh 3 yuan, beef pie 5 yuan and 8 yuan two kinds, the approximate price of the Nearby hotel's Haicheng pie is about five yuan to six yuan a piece, certainly more expensive than the ordinary pie in Shenyang, if the amount of rice is small, two or three pieces of pie can be eaten.
In the northeast small restaurant a la carte, are such a model, and later some large restaurants also changed to this mode, very intuitive, you can see a variety of ingredients, what to eat, like which one to let the chef according to your taste to cook, the portion can also be customized according to their own preferences.
Today's Haicheng is not close to the sea, near Panjin and Yingkou, seafood and river fresh are also delicious dishes on the table. If you like this flavor, you can have a plate of fried river prawns and stewed sea fish.
Everyone must not have eaten this dish, generally can not see in the city, no one likes to eat, it is the pig's tooth flower, there is no mistake, is the pig's gums (upper tooth chamber part), there are also some places called pig ladder, pig paradise, pig tongue, pig tooth stem, pig tooth chamber, pig roof, etc., it is said that a pig only has a piece of such a large piece of meat, it is crisp to eat!
There is a special dish in the northeast called "oil shuttle", there are also people called "oil nourishment", authentic oil is nourished, but not fat meat to fry, but to use chicken crown oil, plus a little pig kidney, fried out of the oil is very fragrant, it is the fat oil around the pig's abdominal cavity pig intestines, after opening it looks like the shape of the chicken crown, so it is called chicken crown oil.
The pig is full of treasures, Haicheng also has a famous dish called heart meat, a pig has only one heart meat, so there is a dish in the Haicheng barbecue called roast oil edge, which is the heart meat of the roast pig.
The pie must start with four pieces, that is to say, each kind of pie must eat four pieces, wait for half an hour, the hot Haicheng pie comes, the Haicheng pie uses warm water and noodles, the noodles are awake but not hairy, after frying, the outer skin is thin and tender, and the filling is delicious.
Beef scallion pie, beef is more, the pie is not too large, about ten centimeters in diameter, a piece of six yuan. The stuffing is to be eaten while it is hot, and a gush of soup gushes out, and the filling is indeed tender and juicy. Before there was a legend how the pie was thin-skinned? You can see the green onions inside. Anyway, I didn't see that the food passed down from generation to generation would definitely have a few disciples who had gone astray after the oral teachings of the previous generation.
This is a meat-stuffed three-fresh pie, and the meat-three-fresh pie has a complete prawn in it, and the taste is still quite good. As for how delicious it is, it is definitely better than ordinary pie. When it is slightly cold, the pie is difficult to ingest, and the oil in the pie solidifies into a lump.
No soup is not a table, generally eat pie with an egg soup or sauerkraut soup, today to a locust radish soup, light and refreshing, with the pie just right! This authentic Haicheng pie to eat, per capita consumption of about fifty yuan, in the northeast tourism, you will find this kind of frugal by people's special snacks a lot, because the northeast people especially like to eat staple food with filling, Shenyang Laobian dumplings, Guandong Changle buns, Xiguan pie, Tieling fire spoon, Fuxin pie, halal turnaround, Majiayao sale, Dalian mackerel dumplings and so on. Many people say that well-known snacks go to the field is not smart, only the birthplace can eat real snacks, I don't know if you have this feeling?
