Red cream choke crab salty mimi, large soup yellow fish swing salty. Since I was a child, I have listened to the old people of Ningbo saying such old words. The most beautiful taste in memory should be these two top old people. Wild yellow croaker is usually very difficult to get on the table, and only distinguished guests from home have to eat it once.
I remember a story where a family is in a difficult situation. One person wanted to come and see his sister and looked at his two nephews by the way. This sister is very frugal on weekdays, thinking that my brother has a rare trip for so many years, and he has to buy some good food to entertain. So I bought a large yellow croaker, and the pickles at home were eaten. After the burning, I looked at a pair of children who had not seen meat for a long time and repeatedly explained, after you are on the table, don't look like a glutton, your uncle will eat one side, and the other side of your uncle will leave, you can eat again. During the meal, these two children were very obedient and obediently ate other dishes, and the uncle always told the children to eat, and the two children were very Sven, that is, not to eat. The uncle old wine wrench, half a fish in a moment to the stomach, think or feel too wronged two children, so he used chopsticks to turn the yellow fish over a noodle, want to clip to the children to eat. When he chopsticks turned the yellow fish over, he had not yet had time to clip it. The two children looked anxious and shouted: Uncle Yellow Fish Flip! Uncle Yellow Croaker! Tears rushed down. Scare an uncle. Later, there was such an old saying, describing brothers and sisters as turning their backs on the yellow fish. The story is quite bitter, talking about the preciousness and deliciousness of yellow fish.
The taste of real yellow croaker is extremely beautiful, imaginative plus realistic fullness. Now the vegetable farm yellow croaker is farmed, and there has long been no fresh gas. Wild yellow croakers are very rare. The rarity is precious, coupled with the firm flesh of the yellow croaker flap, the smooth and juicy taste, the delicate and delicate chewiness, and the artificially farmed powdery tasteless taste are completely two concepts. With the taste of salty, what is hidden in it is the familiar taste of childhood, and the memories that can never be returned.
I still remember when I was a child, there was a New Year's Heel, and a relative brought a large yellow croaker. The golden candy round and rolling, very beautiful.
The mother opened its stomach and scraped the scales and removed the membrane.
Lightly fry both sides in oil and simmer the ginger slices in yellow wine.
Bring a large bowl of water over high heat and put in your own pickled, finely chopped snow pickles.
The milky white soup in the pot is like a wave, and the fried golden yellow croaker swims leisurely among the green fine snow vegetables.
When the slice is sliced, scoop up a bowl, take a sip of soup, and the eyebrows will fall off. That umami taste was never eaten again. The ningbo people of laozi have a very deep affection for this salty dish, there is a saying that they do not eat salty soup for three days, and the foot bones have eye acid! After the sherry is pickled, it has a special umami taste and aroma, which can promote the digestive function of the stomach and intestines, enhance the appetite, and can be used to appetize and help digestion. The umami taste of yellow croaker and the umami taste of sherry are not in conflict, complementing each other and superimposed on the deliciousness. The little umami taste of the yellow fish "hanging" out of the snow vegetables is really a wisp of nostalgia that lingers in the heart of old Ningbo. When we were young, many dishes were paired with pickles, pickle tofu, pickles edamame, pickles shoot tips, the old people always said that pickles are the most flavorful and intriguing. The only thing I remember the most is still this pickle yellow fish soup.
Brilliant as gold in appearance, wild yellow fish is called local luxury gold. Now the wild yellow croaker is almost 1,000 yuan, and it is difficult to eat. Once a yellow croaker, a Set of Xiamen Houses. It was gold, not yellow croaker. Usually the home is made of small yellow croakers. Or yellow fruit white fruit, sometimes sprinkled with yellow powder by vendors. Completely lost the taste of the yellow croaker itself that we expected. I still miss my mother's snow vegetable yellow fish soup when I was a child, so fresh and delicious. Like that extremely beautiful childhood, there is no going back.
The late Ningbo scholar Hong Pimo told in an article entitled "Ningbo Next Meal": "What makes my appetite open is the big soup of yellow fish. Scoop the yellow fish soup into a small bowl, drink a bowl and add a bowl, add a bowl and then scoop a bowl, so scoop and add, add a scoop, it is really delicious, it is strange that the usual appetite is not big at this moment, how can it swallow the mountain and eat the sea at once? "
There is also this soup with dried noodles, noodles absorb the umami taste of snow vegetable yellow fish, especially sweet and delicious. There are many Ningbo-style seafood restaurants in Shanghai, and a bowl of yellow fish noodles can be identified as whether it is opened by authentic Ningbo people.
Snow vegetable yellow fish soup is the supreme seafood leader in the hearts of Ningbo people. So simple, but so deeply concerned by the people of Ningbo. Expensive yellow croaker paired with humble snow vegetables actually interprets the attitude of old Ningbo's humble life in a sense, and chewing is a different taste.
