As a guest in the home of the Turks, the diligent owners will soon serve Huang Chengcheng's "dog pee" and let you eat a bite of cake and taste a mouthful of mellow milk tea. Many local restaurants will solemnly recommend dog peeing for guests, one is because the cake color is golden and beautiful, sweet and soft, and the other is to satisfy the curiosity of guests to explore and experience mutual assistance while satisfying curiosity. "Dog pee", the name with the meaning of the countryside, the soil has to fall off the slag. Newcomers have wanted to explore why there is such an "indecent" name?
Dog peeing
The name of the dog peeing is two things. It is said that the dog pouring urine is related to a Turkish aunt. Once upon a time, the new daughter-in-law passed through the door, and according to tradition, she had to show her hand at breakfast the next day. When one of the new wives was scrambling to make breakfast, a puppy jumped on the stove and kicked the oil pot over with one foot, and the oil flowed everywhere on the board. The new daughter-in-law was in a hurry, and quickly poured the flour on the board to suck the oil dry, and then mixed it into oil noodles, sprinkled with couma flour, and rolled into a thin cake. In the pancake time, because the remaining oil is not much, can only be a small circle of a small circle of refueling, the cake is cooked and served on the table, after everyone tastes, they all say that it is particularly fragrant, ask the new daughter-in-law how it is made, the new daughter-in-law is not good to kick the dog over the oil pot Thing to say, it is said that the dog poured urine on it. Therefore, people call this kind of pancake "dog peeing".
Second, it comes from the way it is branded. It is very interesting to say, there is a saying in the countryside: Cow tail is, dog lifting legs is peeing, it can be seen that peeing and raising legs has long been the signature action of dogs. The dog pees very beautifully, like acrobatics, a hind leg a stilt, a strand of Zi'er, running forward, another stilt of the leg, another strand of Zi'er. Back to the fifties of the last century before, the Turks in the kitchen built stove is much higher than now, and more use of pottery small teapot to hold oil, such oil pot poured out of the oil fine strands, when the pan, the housewives pick up the small oil pot along the edge of the pot and circle the pouring oil, often involuntarily a leg, this action is just like the dog peeing at the base of the wall posture, the most convincing explanation is that because the oil was particularly precious at that time, people were reluctant to use more oil, when the cake was used to pour oil along the edge of the pot, It is like a dog peeing at the base of the wall, so a highland-flavored noodle made in this way is called "dog peeing" oil cake.
Make a dog pour
Dogs peeing is divided into two types: "half-dead side" with only a little ferment and "dead side" without fermentation. Mix the wheat noodles well, roll out, sprinkle with coumba flour, pour a little rapeseed oil and spread well, roll into a long roll. Then probe into a screw shape in the direction of the roll, cut into small pieces, and flatten the thin one by one. Pour about half a pair of canola oil into a hot steamed bun pan, put the cake in, pour a circle of rapeseed oil along the edge of the pan, and keep turning the pancakes to make them evenly colored. When the cake is on fire, turn it over immediately, pour a circle of rapeseed oil along the edge of the pot, and keep turning the cake to fry.
In the inheritance of traditional Chinese folk culture, there is a habit that the more you like it, the more you show that you don't care or even abuse it. Just like many people's most beloved children in the family will take a name called dog egg or something, there is endless love in the common name. Although the dog pee is not an elegant name, it does not affect its popularity in the local area. Moreover, as one of the local household staple foods, dog urine tastes really good: the color is golden and oily, the skin is crisp and soft in the mouth, and the unique aroma of highland rapeseed oil is tempting to the appetite.
At the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, dog pee was used as a Qinghai-style snack to participate in the Expo, but it was changed to "Qinghai Kale Cake" due to its indecent name. But for the change of the name of the dog peeing, many Turks show more or less regret. Because the formation of any name is a unique product of a specific environment and specific factors, it is to a large extent a cultural accumulation. The name of dog peeing and the practice of this snack are very apt. The name of the dog pouring urine on the food is a strong contrast that forms an impact, reflecting the wisdom and artistry of the working people. The Turkish compatriots hope that tourists from all over the world will eventually remember not the Qinghai cabbage cake, but the dog peeing.
