Bai pure heart refreshing chicken pea cold powder
Heqing folk cuisine, the pursuit of light and pleasant. Of course, to eat these, you also need to have sincerity and patience. What is very sad is that some folk foods are constantly dying out, and it is hoped that people of insight will pay attention to them and develop and utilize them. We look forward to this day, and I believe that the time is not far away.
Nowadays, everyone is deeply affected by the harm of "three high" foods ("three high" foods refer to: high fat, high cholesterol, high heat card), resulting in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids endangering our lives. Therefore, the city has risen to the vegetarian movement, the following is an introduction to a heqing Bai folk vegetarian food.
In the past, in every cramped street in the old city of Heqing, there were a few simple cold noodle stalls, using only a few boards, or a removed wooden door board, to build a casual stall, put one or two pots of yellow, refreshing, fat and sparkling chicken pea cold powder; four or five small bottles, respectively, put spicy noodles, hemp noodles, pepper noodles, pepper noodles, salt noodles, garlic paste, fine onion flowers... Overall, it is a simple set of utensils and foods, but when you eat them, that's called taste!
The vinegar used is also the lacquer vinegar brewed by the Heqing Vinegar Factory with traditional craftsmanship, and the condiments used have nothing to do with industry, all of which are heqing people in their own vegetable garden, only apply farm manure, do not play half a pesticide, do not apply half two chemical fertilizers to grow out, the taste, only eat can be said.
This chicken pea cold powder is also different. Chicken peas, as the name suggests, are about the size of the pea and the size of the chicken's eyes, and there are places where people call chicken eye peas, flat and round, which are small spring crops. This kind of crop can only be planted in the sandy land, the land is relatively poor on the barren slope, is the kind of green food that "plants a gourd, harvests a scoop", and the yield per mu is less than 100 pounds.
The process of making chicken and pea cold powder is not as simple as we ordinary people think. To make chicken pea cold powder, the first night, I use the natural mineral water flowing down from Xilongtan, soak the chicken peas overnight, and the next day, when the chicken is screaming all over the place, I get up and push the small stone grinding by hand, "Hula, hula..." Slowly grind it into chicken pea milk, use a large iron pot, burn a large pot of the same Xilongtan natural mineral water. The water boiled up, and the chicken pea milk that was pushed and finely pushed by hand was poured into a large iron pot and stirred, without adding any seasoning, and the color became a tender greenish yellow, the natural tender greenish yellow, so delicate that people did not dare to touch it. Such a delicate thing, that is, do not eat, look at it also has a great increase in appetite.
The simple cold powder stall, because of this kind of delicate chicken pea cold powder that hooks people's appetite, the cold little streets and alleys are thus lively. Especially in the hot and unbearable heat of May and June, the ultraviolet rays of the plateau make people dizzy, walking on the hot streets, hungry and thirsty, the best place to go, just sit on this simple cold powder stall, come to the bowl of chicken and pea cold powder, both to relieve the slander, but also to quench the thirst, but also to quench hunger, fire, heat, wake up the brain... Being a fairy is no different.
The Bai old lady in the mountains, once in a few months or years in Heqing County, also came to taste a bowl or two bowls of chicken and pea cold powder. They also used the bai ethnic embroidered hand towel, wrapped a bag of large white rice, mixed with chicken pea cold powder, white through the tender yellow. I am afraid that any gourmet in the world who has a good taste may not have tasted it.
Come to us and don't forget to taste the specialties of ethnic food, and be a sai shen or a sai gourmet!
