Chapter 374: A faction of its own
Standing on the heights, this is perhaps one of the most isolated mountainous areas, with trains only opening eight years ago, and the tracks are either laid in caves or on high bridges. It is the most difficult railway in the world to build, and it is also one of the most expensive railways in China.
If there is one word to describe the taste of Enshi, it must be the mountain and wild atmosphere. Throughout the year, there is a swaggering incense in the mountains and forests. It's autumn harvest now, and the mountains are full of mountain pepper and fir fungus.
Farmers go up the mountain to pick, the emerald color, full and strong. With rice pepper, ginger and minced garlic, it is simply cold and cold, and the stars and moons set off the spicy and unique pepper aroma, which is extremely appetizing, and you can eat it heartily with a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
The most beautiful gift in the rainy season is a handful of delicious fir tree mushrooms. The fir tree is the local name, the real name is Masson pine, and the fungus that grows in it also has a strong rosin fragrance. It is not as thick as ordinary mushrooms, but the temperament is thin, and the bacon strips are burned in a dry pot, which has an unexpected taste.
Even a bunch of seemingly ordinary but the most delicious grapes, bury your head and take a deep breath, there is a very special musk and floral fragrance, and then break a small blue bomb, do not peel the skin, directly squeeze the flesh into the mouth, sweet, and full acidity support, is a very high-end taste.
Bacon, it must be smoked with cypress branches. Go to the countryside for the Chinese New Year, the roof of every house is hung with pickled meat, the house is burning a fine fire, as soon as you enter the door, the air is soaked in the cold cypress fragrance, after ten days and half a month, the aroma gets into the meat, and the bacon skin will also be smoked to shine brightly.
Take fresh Artemisia annua, wrap it in cloth and crush it, wait until the bitterness fades away, then roast it gently on the fire, leaving only the fragrance. Then mix glutinous rice with diced bacon, cured bean curd, and wild garlic, and put it into a wooden barrel to simmer together, and the crushed artemisia evenly wraps each rice grain, full of the tenderness of the spring breeze.
Such a bowl of rice is a bit like the pickled tuk fresh in Jiangnan, the meat is vegetarian, and the vulgarity is also elegant.
If you want to visit the vegetable market comfortably, you have to do it early, as limited quantities like fir mushrooms will be sold up early. But if you just want to have a comfortable breakfast, it doesn't matter how late you sleep.
The breakfast shop can be open from dawn to noon, no matter what time it is, there are always people who rub their sleepy eyes and walk in to wake up their stomachs and hearts with a ferocious boiling carbs.
It is natural to feel that only when accompanied by food can it live up to the morning light. Baked cakes, the most hardcore early. The filling is coated on the surface, full of the aroma of shallots and peppercorns, and the large pork belly can be grilled to produce crystal oil flowers.
Another method is to wrap the filling in the oil dough and fold it repeatedly to get a beautiful puff pastry, and the minced meat is mixed in with it, and the slag will be fluttered off when eaten.
Every baked cake master is like a master who walks the rivers and lakes with unique skills: fermenting old noodles, kneading noodles and pulling noodles, and pie stalls, and even the gestures of spreading sauce are sonorous and powerful.
The master reaches into the stove with his bare hands and sticks the dough to the wall of the oven accurately and quickly, and bakes it at the wall temperature. It only takes a few tens of seconds for a skilled master to hang the wall of the furnace full of baked cakes, and the real kung fu is often here.
It didn't take long for a crisp piece of baked cake with charcoal burnt edges to be pinched out, folded in half and packed into an oiled paper bag, clicking, the most beautiful sound of this baked cake......
If baking is the work of baking, then the aroma of oil is the art of frying. Win in the word incense, bigger and thinner than the oil pier, rice and soybeans ground into a fine pulp, hot oil rolled golden glitter, must be fried until the shell is slightly burnt.
When you bite into it, it's filled with shredded pork with the aroma of peppercorns, rich chopped green onions, and crispy shredded radish and shredded potatoes.
Let the boss lie down with an egg again, and let the oil fragrance become a pot-bellied purse, and you will definitely get an appreciative compliment: will eat!
Among the three King Kongs for breakfast, bean skin is the most gentle one. Because of the scarcity of wheat, rice is the pasta here. You can add corn or mung beans, and the paste that comes out is dense and warm, with a delicate grain aroma.
Lightly grease the pan and the batter slides out of the characteristic funnel until the edges are slightly curled. The baked bean skin is not as smooth as the noodles, but has a rough and solid taste, and the way to eat it is very flexible.
The color is warm and moist, and it is pleasing to the eye when you shoot it: golden is the bud grain flavor, light green is the mung bean flavor, milky white is the original flavor of rice, and the most luxurious is the whole egg bean skin, which is only available in individual stores.
If five or six people come together, the number of pots and bowls on the table will be doubled several times, allowing you to eat the aura of hugging mountains and seas!
Incredibly cheap, the price is fifty per person, depending on the main course. You only need to order a favorite main dish, and the rest of the small dishes of cold dishes, large dishes of stir-fried vegetables, kelp soup, oil tea soup, and the most important slag are all side dishes. This table of dishes can also be added for free......
Therefore, when the Tujia people invite guests to dinner, they are most afraid of seeing the food on the table exhausted, because they feel that it proves that you are not full!
It is abundant in hemp ducks, usually free-range in rice fields and rivers, and is small in size and tender in meat. Duck foam is difficult to handle, kill duck deboning, duck meat should be chopped fine but not broken, preferably grainy, and then burned with green pepper crushing, so that the green pepper spicy to neutralize the fat of duck meat.
The duck offal roasted with pickled pepper cabbage is sour, spicy and refreshing, and the more it is burned in red oil, the more flavorful it becomes, the duck gizzard is chewy, and one person can swallow a pot without pressure.
Wild eels are raised strongly, and the fat eel segments are not as delicate as Huaiyang's soft pockets, and they are full of wild air in their bones. The seasoning that must be used in roasted eel, called scallion, is the fresh and tender game that grows in this area, and the taste is rushing and spicy.
It is located in the southwest mountainous area, the soil is poor, and the product is not rich. There are not many rare ingredients, but they happen to be some ordinary food, but they are trained to be ingenious and innovative.
The most interesting is the pepper, which is ground into flour with corn, mixed with chopped chili peppers, salted and fermented in a jar. It is said that this is an ancient method of preserving food by ethnic minorities, and after fermentation, it tastes sour, spicy and delicious, and is a perfect match for bacon:
Full of wine and food, taste a sip of jade dew, the oldest green tea production process, at present, almost the only tea area in China that uses steam to kill, the process is much more complicated than fried green.
Twisted into strips, slender and slender, emerald green and bright, sharp as pine needles. Pour the water first, then throw the tea, you can see the bottom of the leaves churning and dancing in the water, and the mouth has a fresh fragrance similar to seaweed.
Here, the pace of life is stretched very slowly by eating and drinking. The so-called livability is to drink tea and eat wine, and you can drive through the entire city for a bowl of fried sauce bean skin, and you can be comfortable and happy without worrying.
It is bordered by Sichuan and Shu in the west, Xiaoxiang in the south, Qinchuan in the north is not far away, and Jianghan is encountered in the east out of Bashan.
However, the diet here is different from the above arbitrary, and it has never belonged to the object of God's appreciation of food, there is no mountain and sea delicacies, a handful of wild vegetables, two bundles of cypress branches, and three catties of soybeans, it is a faction of its own.
