There are still 3 months to go before the New Year, and I instinctively miss the meals in my hometown even more. Good friends know that I am a person who loves to eat, and now I am trying to make myself both love to eat and can eat, in fact, this is quite rare, because everyone's standards for food are different (and I am not as authoritative as Chen Xiaoqing), but food is an attitude, until the end people's pursuit of food should return to their most simple things, the most suitable for their own appetite. Because the legend is far away and the porridge is near.
Since I was a child, I have been a delicious person, in order to show that my delicious food is not a kind of depravity, I always have to find countless reasons for myself, and finally find a slightly decent reason for myself, that is, eating is also a culture, because everything created by humans and enjoyed by humans is culture, my obedience, then I can also be regarded as a rich five cars!
Because I am a Hunan native, I love to eat Hunan rice noodles and emphasize! I love to eat it! A beautiful bowl of Hunan rice noodles, gentle, hot and fresh, but in Shenzhen you can only eat rice products that look like gods. One side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, why this place eats this, why is it so delicious. Good food is inseparable from its land. A foodie, his food and travel are inseparable, because a hundred meals, a thousand miles, a thousand books...
Suddenly I remembered a sentence, what can go back is the hometown, what can not go back is the hometown, what is the hometown? The literal meaning is very simple is their own place of growth, I think if you want to describe it, it should be once grown, whether it is joy or sorrow can be entrusted with affection, you can not like, but never allow others to scold the place, if we say that we remember the hometown, the memory of the scene is definitely not as strong as the taste of the memory, the taste of the hometown is deep inside. Whether it is Zhang Ailing's Shanghai, Wang Zengqi's Gaoyou, Liang Shiqiu's Beijing, or my Yueyang, we are not so much nostalgic for the taste of our hometown as we are nostalgic for our own growth. China's development in the past twenty years has been too fast and too fast, and from the appearance of a city, it is difficult for me to distinguish between Changsha and Where Nanchang. Many people's hometowns have disappeared, and the taste of many people's hometowns has vanished. The meat we eat is no longer fragrant, our dishes are no longer sweet, in the exquisite restaurant inside the luxurious mall in Shenzhen, it should be said that it is to heat you up a little, the temperature of the hand is gone, and the breath of the person is gone.
I saw a video in the bookstore at the Xiamen high-speed rail station before, and a big v told the restaurateurs that they should read those books, there are more than twenty books!! Image science, management, communication science, but I did not hear a book on how to tell the restaurant owner how to make a good dish, this is really a very sad thing, our hometown in the space, the hometown in the memory is so step by step indifferent to finally return to eating it, China can let the vast majority of people eat, to put it bluntly, it is only a matter of recent decades. However, looking up, the emperor will have the enjoyment of the white snow of Yangchun, and the peddlers and pawns will also have the happiness of the People of Xia riba, which is the charm of Chinese cuisine. However, the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuluo ate a trial amount of dog meat when he ran, and Mr. Liu Baorui also talked about the passage of pearl emerald white jade soup, which shows that the emperor's stomach and intestines are no different from ordinary people at key moments. As for saying that "the incorruptible are not allowed to eat", it has already transcended the physical meaning of eating. But feeding all the Chinese is a big job. Along the way, one of the main lines that run through thousands of years of dynastic changes is eating. If there is not enough to eat, there will be rebellion and turmoil, and there will be repression and killing. In the final analysis, "the prince will have a kind of love" is also reflected in the attitude of the Chinese to eat - there is an essential difference between "abundant food and clothing" and "golden clothes and jade food", the former is a simple wish, the latter is a grand ambition. And these stories related to the hunger and hunger of the world are sleeping in the history books, waiting for everyone who knows Chinese characters to read, think and speculate. That's why I've always believed that in this ancient multi-ethnic, mixed-and-large country, there is only one way to find the final identity: a history that has never been broken. Thousands of years of group memory is the religion of Chinese. A glass of wine, a bowl of rice, may be the fruit of modern industry and agriculture, but in the final analysis, what we eat every day is the wisdom of our ancestors.
Nowadays, China is difficult to find, with the gradual development of national strength, foreign friends from all walks of life have traveled thousands of miles to feel the majesty of the heavens, but unfortunately, the vast majority of them ended up complaining about the airline, they said that they spent the air ticket money but were not sent to China. Foreign fast food all over the place is China, and even genuine goods such as the Forbidden City are suspected of being fakes because the Starbucks erected at the door is suspected of being fake, and the so-called well-known tourist destinations such as Shanghai and Tianjin are only because they are the outposts of China's Westernization, and the well-known attractions are just crappy small Western-style buildings. China it is not in high-rise buildings, but in street stalls, humble restaurants, and every table, where you can find China, eat a bite of China, eat a bite of hometown. There are some friends to talk about eating, especially Chinese food, are swallow abalone wings, court cuisine, etc., in a word, high-grade! Anyway, it's all things that you can't afford to eat, you can't eat, that's a very small part of what you eat, definitely not all of it, only one in a hundred million people in China have eaten, we are praising these things, which is not fair. The significance of its gastronomy is definitely not as great as its commercial significance. So I prefer to look for basic foods, ordinary, warmer, subsistence and more secure.
Like my favorite day should look like this: a bowl of hometown rice noodles in the morning, covered with two yards, wide soup. Add another Xi'an meat sandwich steamed bun (to be fatter), and pack a wei family cold skin (to get rice skin) before leaving.
At noon, let's start with a chili stir-fried meat rice bowl (to make more rice in oil). Plus a water basin lamb (with more fat flowers), cold vegetables to a Shanghai roasted bran and rotten chicken wings, bad edamame. The hot dish is a Xiangtan boiled live fish, a Xiang flavored mandarin fish, and a large bone of Wang Ji in the northeast. The soup requires the lotus root rib soup in Hubei and a Shandong milk soup with pu vegetables. That's right! Can not be less Guangdong hand-torn salt baked chicken, oil residue stir-fried vegetable heart afternoon tea to a three and the first soup, a dry fishing Guilin rice noodles (to you neighbor rice noodles), a Liuzhou sour shoots fried snail. Dinner well ~ a bowl of lamb steamed buns to base, Ma Er's sour soup dumplings to eat two, Grandma made squeezed vegetables stir-fried shredded meat, fennel dumplings also to eat two, Canglang pavilion yellow fish noodles to a bowl, dad made a big bowl of braised ribs, Yueyang spicy crab a portion, stir-fried red cabbage moss, Shaanxi Sanyuan pig's trotters a portion, Sichuan salted white one, kimchi fish a portion. Then it's time for the magnificent supper, the three aunts of Yueyang Qianming Temple fried shrimp tails, the ginger spicy snake of Yueyang Geng brothers food stalls, the solar calendar grilled butter at the entrance of Yueyang 3517 Vegetable Market, grilled fish (when the fish is started, a thin layer of sugar should be brushed), Xi'an's Yang Sister grilled meat (to sweet and sour spicy), red red sauerkraut fried rice, sesame sauce shabu tripe. Changsha Siejie stinky tofu, Yueyang Wutuo snail, Yueyang Di Po brine, Hubei stir-fried lotus tip, Xiamen soil shoot jelly, noodle paste, Yantai original bar DJ Xiao Zhang Master's grilled sea sausage, etc. and so on............
