Wang's hometown, Fujita Town, Yongfeng County, is only a mountain away from Shaxi Town. With the opening of the Yaoling Tunnel, Fujita people went to Shaxi, which is a one-foot throttle thing. Wang often went to Shaxi with his friends to visit Ouyang Xiu's hometown. Every time Wang went to Shaxi, he had to taste Shaxi's tofu.
The first time Wang Went to Shaxi, he followed a group of literary friends to Ouyang Xiu's hometown to collect wind. The hospitable people of Shaxi have served us a table of good dishes in the hotel, among which the famous Shaxi tofu is naturally indispensable. To be honest, this time I went to Shaxi to eat tofu, I didn't eat any taste, and I felt no different from Fujita's tofu.

The next two times I went to Shaxi, I went in groups with Wen Peng's poetry friends. The hospitable people of Shaxi, as usual, made a table of good wine and good dishes in the hotel to entertain us, including Shaxi tofu. These two times I went to Shaxi to eat tofu, but I still didn't eat any taste.
The fourth time I went to Shaxi was to participate in the charity activities of the Yongfeng County Volunteer Association. I followed the volunteer families of the Yongfeng County Volunteer Association to the Shaxi Elderly Home to comfort the elderly. After the condolence activities, several volunteer families met together to eat Shaxi rose fish and Shaxi tofu.

There is a traditional dish in Yongfeng County, and Yongfeng Wenlian gave it a nice name "rose fish". The rose fish in Yongfeng County is most famous for its production in Shaxi. Instead of going to the hotel, my family and a few volunteers ran to a small street shop to eat. At this dinner, I ate authentic Shaxi tofu and rose fish, and only then did I really eat the delicious taste of Shaxi tofu and Shaxi rose fish.
We go out to eat and often hear that there are some famous dishes somewhere. We went inside the hotel to eat local specialties, often without tasting. For example, our dairy pork in Fujita Town is also famous in Yongfeng County. Many friends from other countries, running to Fujita's hotel to eat milk pork, often have the feeling of being vain.
The picture shows the Shaxi tofu in a small shop on the side of Shaxi Street, although it looks bad, but the taste is authentic.
The reason is that Fujita milk pork, Shaxi tofu and Shaxi rose fish are classic dishes left by local working people. The chef hired by the hotel, although the cooking skills are superb, but they do not grasp the essence of local food made by local working people. Shaxi tofu, rose fish, and Fujita milk pork made by the hotel chef are often only in their shape and not in their taste.
Most of the people who open restaurants on the street are local indigenous villagers. These villagers have been eating these local specialties since they were young, and they are very handy in making local specialties. The local specialties made by these indigenous villagers can only taste authentic and eat the essence of local specialties.
To sum up: "Going to a place and wanting to eat local specialties is not the best choice to go to a hotel." Only by going to a small restaurant opened by a local indigenous villager can you eat authentic local specialties. ”
