On November 7, 2020, Wenzhou ushered in the "LiDong". The interpretation of "winter" in the "Seventy-two Waiting Solutions to the Moon Order" is: "Winter, the end, all things are collected", which means that all the autumn crops have been harvested, collected into storage, and the animals have been hidden for hibernation. Therefore, on the ground, it can be said that it means the beginning of winter, the collection of all things. However, on this day, Wenzhou and "winter" are still not related. At this time, Wenzhou was still enjoying the warm autumn. However, after all, "Li Dong" has arrived, and I still make an appointment with Wenzhou's "donkey friends" to go to the home of Wenzhou 'mountain people' to have a "storm of questions" first.
As soon as I arrived at the "mountain people" home in Wenzhou, the people greeted people with smiling faces, and while inviting us to sit down, they pointed to the "sweet potato dates" and "sticky persimmons" on the table and said, "I have long expected that you two will come." Then, he said to me: "Needless to say, I am asking what Wenzhou people eat on this day of Lidong, right?" "I can't hide anything from you." I laughed. So, our "question storm" began in the process of tasting tea and eating "sweet potato dates".
"Wenzhou people, what do you eat on this day of Lidong?" I was straight to the point. Wenzhou "mountain people" pointed to the "sweet potato jujube" and laughed but did not answer. "Please be specific." I say. "Have you ever heard the saying: 'Sweet potato flat child beat (clip) frosting, a copper plate to buy two pairs'?" "I haven't heard of it." I say. "Then I'll have to tell you more." It is said that in Wenzhou at that time, the appearance of sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes was only for the poor to fill their stomachs. By 1960, Wenzhou restaurants began to sell 'sweet potatoes and vegetables', which were lined up. At that time, no one would have thought that the market price of sweet potatoes would be higher than that of rice in the future. Of course, sweet potatoes were introduced to China after the Ming Dynasty Wanli (1573-1620), this, you should know. Wenzhou "mountain people" said. "Well, I know." I say. Before the reform and opening up, most farmers in mountainous areas relied on dried sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs. During the period of grain stamps, Wenzhou often had sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes. At that time, one pound of food stamps could supply one and a half pounds of dried sweet potatoes or seven pounds of fresh sweet potatoes. However, then again, there are two kinds of Wenzhou sweet potatoes, both of which are quite good. "What variety?" I asked. "One is a sweet potato, which is very sweet; the other is a white potato." "What about sweet potato dates?" "Then it must be Yongjia to produce." Yongjia sweet potato jujube is made by boiling, slicing and drying the high-quality sweet potatoes in the drying process, especially in the step of 'sun and night frost', which is softer and softer, and the more sunny the sweeter. Saying, the Wenzhou "mountain people" picked up the "sweet potato dates" to me and the Wenzhou "donkey friends" and said: "You two taste a few more pieces, I am an authentic Yongjia alpine sweet potato date Oh." "We both tasted it carefully, and it was really sweet, so we liked it together." What about sweet potato dates? "You have to ask Wenzhou 'donkey friends' about this question." "The urban house to make sweet potato dates, you have to do this: peel the sweet potato into a small piece; after the water and then voltage the pot, and sprinkle a little water on the surface, choose the dry pot function to cook for twenty-five minutes; after cooking, put the oven to bake for 1 hour; finally is the sun, the longer the time, it will be very powerful, the value will be deeper and deeper. After all, there is no Yongjia environmental conditions, it can only be SO DIY. "So, what is the role of sweet potato dates?" "There are many effects, such as anti-fatigue, improving human immunity, lowering blood lipids, hypertension and so on." Wenzhou "donkey friend" replied.
"On the day of Lidong, what else do Wenzhou people eat?" "Sorghum meat. I don't need to talk more about this with wenzhou 'mountain people', right? "That's what to talk about." I say. "Then I will talk about it, sorghum meat first came from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and sorghum has nothing to do with it, it is GuangjinXiang shop DIY, the big BOSS is tall, and the surname is Liang, Wenzhou people are called 'Gaoliang Bo', because of its DIY, so the ID number "Sorghum meat". Wenzhou", the mountain man, said, "Isn't it 'sorghum meat'?" The 'sorghum' of the crop sorghum. "No, you misunderstood." "When did you enter Wenzhou?" "Twenty-second year of Guangxu, 1896 AD." Wenzhou "mountain people" answered seriously. "How?" I ask again. "Wenzhou "donkey friend", you come to talk. Wenzhou "mountain people" said with a smile. "This is more verbose to say. First, put the whole piece of fine meat in the refrigerator for one to two hours, and then take it out and cut it into thin slices; soy sauce and white wine are put together, and the meat slices are dipped on both sides; Put in the meat vessel, stir for a few minutes, marinate for about 15 minutes; dry on a tiled bamboo plaque for a day and a night, just don't dry it too much; pack it in a sealed bag and put it in the refrigerator, and when you eat it, take it out and steam it. Hearing this, I applauded with the Wenzhou "mountain people".
This time "question storm", I feel that Wenzhou "mountain people" and Wenzhou "donkey friends" cooperate as if to say Wenzhou "crosstalk", it is really cool to listen, learn cool, eat cool! Finally, it is summed up with two poems - the Qing Dynasty Huanghua Carp's "Yong Di Gua", poem Yun: "The beast palms the dragon's hooves and is famous, and the uniform Yudian species is just beginning to take shape." Since the overseas transmission of Jia Zhi, the function is now six grains of contention. "Song Dynasty Wang Mai's "Bacon", Shi Yun: "Frost hooves cut jade to comfort the saliva, but retreated and did not dare to go forward." Drink a cup of water into a soft full, neighbor when the noon smoke. ”
