<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > bowl of bald money soup</h1>
If you're confused about today's title, that's right, because before today, I was just like you.
Finally came to the last stop in Shanxi - Lüliang, which is a very "new" city, after all, it was only withdrawn in 2004 to set up a city, such a city will often appear as a result, people still habitually retain the name of the city, and therefore, today when locals talk about Lüliang city, they will still replace it with "lishi" (personally, it is a rather poetic name).
Lüliang has a relatively unique food culture throughout Shanxi, and it is difficult to find Lüliang's special foods in other places. Using it as a relay station from the mountains to Shaanxi is actually considering that Lüliang and my next destination, northern Shaanxi, already have quite a lot of food and beverage overlap.
To say that it has nothing to do with the theme, the stone can be described as a typical representative of a "small and fine" city, at least today, the beauty it presents is amazing to me.
Willows bowl bald
If any food can afford the name of Lüliang's number one snack, it must be Liulin Bowl Bald, which is the only kind of Lvliang snack that I can stumble upon in other cities in Shanxi. Bowl bald also writes bowl off, bowl lump, bowl ball, bowl lump, bowl convex, even in the stone, or the birthplace of this food in the willow forest, there is no unified and standardized way to write, we do not have to dwell on this.
The process of making willow bowl baldness seems simple, but it actually needs to be operated quite delicately, if summed up in one sentence, it is to add buckwheat flour to stir and boil and steam into the bowl and finally cool. Its biggest feature is the way to eat the bowl bald, in other areas of the bowl bald cutting, seasoning are done by the store, you only need to break open a pair of chopsticks to eat, but in Lüliang, presented to you is a bowl of original bowl bald, plus a serrated knife (plastic & metal have), cut by yourself, and even need to feed according to your own taste, and then directly use the knife as tableware to send the bowl to the mouth to enjoy.
Garlic, vinegar and spicy seeds are the basic spices, plus some chopped sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, which enrich the already smooth and tender taste of the bowl. This, by-yourself, and even slightly wild way of eating, makes this simple snack even more extraordinary. Not to mention, in the stone, such a bowl of baldness is basically the price of 1 to 2 yuan (small stalls and small shops. All of this, I can finally come to the conclusion that the willow forest bowl baldness is definitely a kind of food that is full of gas and can soar into the sky with one flight!
When eating a bowl bald today, I accidentally glimpsed a stack of sesame cakes next to the table, which is also another feature of Liulin County, and can also be fried with the bowl bald. Let's leave a suspense this time, and you might as well try it for me.
Money soup
Qian Qian Tang is a staple food popular in the Lishi area, mainly because of the addition of "Qian Qian". The so-called money money is to smash black beans, soybeans or white beans into a flat shape with an iron hammer, shaped like copper coins, which can be added to millet and boiled to make money and rice, or added to pasta to make money soup such as stone. This treatment enriches the texture of monotonous staples, and on the other hand, I think it must also be given a strong sense of wishing.
And money and rice is also a kind of food that is quite popular in northern Shaanxi.
Head meat
Head meat is a famous cooked food in Lüliangxing County, and this dish must not be absent in the major local restaurants in Lüliang. To understand duck head meat in a rough way is actually a pork skin jelly made of pork head meat, but it is very different from the taste of ordinary pig skin jelly.
The pork head meat itself belongs to the very crisp part of the meat on the pig, and the head meat also inherits this feature, coupled with the fat and lean meat embellished in it, which makes the crisp taste add a layer of tendons and toughness, and the eating taste is quite rich. Paired with a simple sour vinegar sauce, it is a cold dish that will not be forgotten in the mouth and will not be eaten!
Helangzi
I don't think any outsider can guess the true face of this kind of food just by the name of "Helengzi", and Shanxi's food always likes to joke with diners on the name. Helangzi is a pure potato product, in Lüliang by The best made in Linxian County, the potatoes are washed, peeled, kneaded and pounded into a puree, then slightly steamed in the basket, and then the appropriate amount of mashed potatoes is selected and placed in the cage cloth to squeeze out the water, and squeezed into a ball, and finally steamed in the basket.
Because of this series of operations, the final finished helang is far from the taste of potatoes, the aroma of potatoes is still there, but it has become a firm and elastic potato ball with a slightly rusty taste in the mouth, and then dipped in a fixed tomato sauce, the sour aroma is full. Hezi and a popular snack in The Longnan region of Gansu Province, "Potato Balls", are very close in taste, and some of them are similar, but they are far from the seasoning.
BBQ + puff noodles
As night falls, walking down the rocky streets, a noodle with a very strange name constantly flashes in front of you. Oh? What is this thing? At the same time, I found that it never appeared alone, it must be accompanied by barbecue, which further deepened my curiosity. In the end, regardless of three seven twenty-one, he still persuaded himself to talk to the end.
Later, I inquired from the waiter, the so-called "hiccup noodles" is actually fried knife cut noodles, I guess the source of this name is not the knife cut noodles when the sound of "gagging and pooping" made when cutting the noodles with the knife? There are three points far-fetched, more seven points are cute, at least the name must be unforgettable.
There was no surprise in itself, but a bunch of them dissolved the itch after I left the northeast, and I was still satisfied in the end.
When I came to the mountains of Jinxi, the coolness became even stronger, and for the first time I shivered in the night wind. I thought it was time for Qiu Zhen to step forward.
