Because of a person, fall in love with a city. The same thing is because of the food of a city, and the idea of wanting to settle there is also born. Food exists in people, in addition to the enjoyment and stimulation of the taste buds, it still reflects the love of life and the accumulation of the city's history and culture.
Tengchong is a city that everyone is very familiar with, especially the food culture of Tengchong, Tengchong has a very deep historical and cultural accumulation, with a variety of scenic spots, cultural monuments and praiseworthy cuisine, which have become a sometimes condition for attracting tourists to travel.
When you are in a city and want to experience the culture of the local city most quickly, and want to feel the pattern of their life, experiencing the local cuisine is the most effective way. Therefore, when many people travel to a city, they always like to shuttle through the streets and alleys to find the most authentic and authentic snacks.
Tengchong's cuisine has distinct regional characteristics, especially Tengchong's meat, work and fire, better than knife techniques. After cooking, the various meats have a bright color, especially when eaten, which makes people addicted. Among the many cuisines in Tengchong, the most famous is still this special dish, which is called the Great Rescue. Every tourist who comes here can't resist the temptation of the big rescue. Today, I will introduce the Tengchong cuisine with such a domineering name.
Although the name of the big rescue driver is very domineering, its raw materials are the simplest in daily life. And its origin is very interesting. According to historical legends, during the Qing Dynasty, when the Qing army led by Wu Sangui went to attack Kunming, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty felt that it was dangerous and fled to the western Yunnan region. The king of a country fled in a hurry after facing danger, and Wu Sangui naturally would not let go easily, so he led the Qing army to pursue it.
At this time, the great general Li Dingguo, who was also a very famous leader of the Western Army among the peasant rebels, successfully arrived in Tengchong, Yunnan, under the escort of Li Dingguo. After a long escape. Neither the army nor the emperor ate anything, and naturally hunger was unbearable. However, the surrounding environment is very remote, all of them are some peasant households, of course, they can't eat the mountain treasures and seafood that the emperor usually eats in the imperial palace.
Later, after a long time, there was finally a farmer around. When the farmer saw the Yongli Emperor come in, he also felt very afraid that the king of a country would actually come to such a remote and small place. So the great general asked the farmer to make some food for the Yongli Emperor. And the farmers felt that the emperor was noble, so they put all the good things in the family together to cook, and finally made this dish, and now they have become the Tengchong rescue of Yunnan special cuisine.
After the Yongli Emperor finished eating this dish made by the farmers, he was full of praise and praise. It is even more blunt that the fried bait block saved the big rack of the decay, and because of this, there is such a domineering name as the big rescue driver.
The traditional big rescue driving raw materials are actually very simple, every household can be found, the main component is the bait, the snow white bait is cut into slices and then put into the oil pot and stir-fried, plus some eggs and ham sausages, plus some ingredients. This kind of bait is actually made of rice noodles, with hundreds of years of development history, in the "Explanation of Words" the bait word is said to be rice steamed crumbs, the taste is very similar to glutinous rice cake.
The taste will also be more inclined to the traditional Yunnan flavor, the taste is more fragrant, not very spicy, and the bait is handmade, so the viscosity and elasticity are just right.
But since this great rescue was favored by the Yongli Emperor, it has become a court dish, will be more biased towards the taste of the emperors of various dynasties, so the production method will be more exquisite, but also developed to modern times, the production of the machine People will be less use of pure handmade way to make bait, but directly in the market to buy ready-made, this ready-made bait because it is machine-made, so the taste will be more blunt, not so elastic, It has also changed from a traditional court dish to a street food in Tengchong.
The most prominent value of the big rescue drive is naturally to bring great ease to Tengchong County, becoming the most important part of Tengchong cuisine, and the audience range is becoming more and more extensive, in many large cities can see its figure, especially later adapted to the busy time of modern urban youth, so the launch of a new fast food bait, raw materials are the same production, but cut into filaments, in 94, 95 and 97 years is called "Yunnan Province consumer favorite goods."
The raw materials of the big rescue drive are polished with rice rice, rich in fat, protein, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, carbohydrates and niacin, etc., which can play a role in replenishing the spleen and warming the stomach, supplementing nutrition, alleviating urinary frequency and replenishing qi, especially suitable for the elderly and children.
With the continuous development of the economy, many traditional cuisines have gradually peeled off the traditional shell to adapt to the development of new forms, which is a path of following the cuisine, but it is also inevitable to lose some ancient meaning. When you arrive at an ancient city that you yearn for, eat local specialties to feel the traditional food culture and local characteristics, it seems to step back in time to the previous era of leisure and no worries.
Food is always the most sincere, it can always convey your emotions most directly, because food, perhaps can open a new topic, let you quickly integrate into a strange environment; because food, perhaps you can give yourself a little comfort when you are sad; because food, perhaps after a few years ago, recall the traditional ancient taste...
With the continuous change of the times, Tengchong has become a popular tourist city, and the traditional unique cuisine has also spread unchecked, but how many of the flooded storefronts can reproduce the traditional taste? Even so, the simple life mode of the Tengchong people is still everywhere, enjoying life and enjoying food.
