Section 529 Langzhou Food (1)

After we got our wish and found the parchment note left by Wang Dalong's predecessors, we felt relaxed all over our body, and leisurely walked to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers, the beautiful ancient city of Langzhou, these dense, scattered ancient buildings are indeed exquisite and beautiful, small windows, round porches, antique, and there are many unknown vines entwined with each other, many dotted flowers inlaid in them, curling and colorful. Many of the attics are deep, like girls to be married, with shy faces hanging down, and there is an infinitely hazy and mysterious beauty. But we don't have time to look at it, we feel hungry, hungry and thirsty, at this moment, the beautiful scenery is no matter what day, or gluttonous a meal is the most important.

We walk on the uneven, scattered bluestone street, the old bluestone street is long and long, witnessing the changes of history, the loss of time, this spot of wear and tear is a reflection of the vicissitudes of the years. There was a rich aroma of Boryeong vinegar everywhere, and the wisps of it drifted into our noses, and the different fragrance veins were endless, and I felt even more hungry, but I didn't expect that Xiao Er actually took the initiative to greet us and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, come and drink a cup of vinegar." Hu Jiaojiao widened her round apricot eyes and said incredulously: "This is really strange, this vinegar can also be drunk?"

Xiao Er said sprinkledly: "Baoning vinegar is a local traditional famous specialty of Sichuan, which belongs to one of the four famous vinegars of our Great Song Dynasty. Boryeong vinegar is commonly known as the place name Boryeong Town, which began in the first year of Tang Changxing in the fifth dynasty - when the Baoning military rule was established in 936 AD, it has a long history, Boryeong vinegar is made of bran, wheat, rice, glutinous rice as raw materials, with sand kernels, malt, hawthorn, lovage, cinnamon, angelica, black plum, almonds and other appetizing and spleen-strengthening flavors, and promotes blood flow of Chinese medicinal materials to make koji, take Guanyin Temple Yingjie and sweet, boiling and unsinking Tang Dynasty ancient "Songhua Well" of the high-quality spring water ancient called Guanyin holy water is brewed, Boryeong vinegar is made of pure grain, precious Chinese medicine is koji, "Songhua" The well water is the body, and it is refined through 42 processes. It combines the ingenuity of vinegar technicians and the essence of bioengineering experts, and has the characteristics of "red brown color, soft sourness, mellow fragrance and sweetness, and long-term non-decay", which is a good seasoning product. Because the chelate rich in copper ions has been proven by modern science and technology to have the effects of antiseptic and anti-cancer, health and nourishment, flattening blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, and preventing atherosclerosis. It is not only a good seasoning, but also contains 18 kinds of essential amino acids for the human body, a variety of vitamins and more than 10 kinds of trace elements such as zinc, copper, iron, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements that are beneficial to health, and have the functions of appetizing and strengthening the spleen, increasing appetite, flattening blood pressure, and fighting disease and inhibiting cancer. Boryeong vinegar is the only medicinal vinegar among the four famous vinegars. "Langzhong County Chronicles" records: Langzhong wheat is the most well-known. "With its more vinegar, the color is slightly yellow and the taste is not very sour, and it is carried out of the country, then the fragrance is overflowing, and the smeller knows that it is Boring vinegar. However, the vinegar maker must be in the south of the city near the river, and the other places are not good, and the water nature makes the water drink and take the water, and take the winter as the top, so there is the name of high vinegar in winter water. Vinegar production in China began in the Zhou Dynasty, and the vinegar at that time was called liquor. According to "Zhou Li, Heavenly Palace", the people in the court of the Zhou Dynasty were the officials of the royal family who specialized in vinegar making. Langzhong is a national historical and cultural city, one of the four ancient cities in China, and has been an important town in northern Sichuan since ancient times. Langzhong vinegar brewing began in the Zhou Dynasty, flourished in the Qin and Han dynasties, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, according to the historical status and the law of wine vinegar homology, Langzhong vinegar has a long history of more than 2,300 years. King Wu of Zhou was enshrined in Ba with his Zongji, and the lord was the son, and then the capital of the Bazi Kingdom. "Huayang Guozhi Ba Zhi" cloud: "The seven kingdoms are called kings, and Ba is also called kings." The climate of Ba is mild, the mountains and rivers are wonderful, the products are abundant, the royal cooking follows the Zhou royal family, vinegar is indispensable, and the Ba people are known for their good brewing. "Taiping Yulan" quoted the "County Chronicles" and said: There is Ba village in the west of Nanshan Gorge, which is good at winemaking, so it is commonly known as Ba village wine. "Water Jing Note: River Water" is also said to be a village on the left bank of the river, and the villagers are good at brewing. For more than 2,300 years, the counties, prefectures, military, prefectures, and provinces of the past dynasties were mostly located in Langzhong. In the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty (929 AD), the Baoning military rule was established, which meant to protect tranquility, and the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties were all Baoning Prefecture administrative offices from the beginning of the Republic of China. In the Tang Dynasty, Langzhong "Ding Jar Vinegar" workshops have been dotted, and the great poet Lu You of the Song Dynasty once left Langzhou Zhai's famous sentence of brewing in Langzhong. And our Boryeong vinegar did not stop there, through continuous exploration and innovation, we have developed fruit vinegar that is eaten as a drink, so you can directly drink it into your stomach. ”

This little two still has a bit of eloquence, we have never directly drunk vinegar as a drink, plus everyone is a little thirsty, now there is no need to look at Mei to quench thirst, directly drink vinegar to quench thirst, so everyone asked for a bottle, goo dong goo dong drink down, it is actually very delicious, sweet and sour, a bit of modern society apple cider vinegar feeling.

Quicksand jokingly said to Hu Jiaojiao: "Vinegar jar, you really came to the right place." This is your own treasure. Today you can eat any vinegar you want, you see, all kinds of vinegar is really the world of vinegar.

Hu Jiaojiao pouted her cherry lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You are the vinegar jar, hmph, I'm not jealous at all now." ”

The little two continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, buy a few more jars of vinegar, this is not to buy vinegar in Langzhou, it is equivalent to a trip in vain, especially the beauties, it is not to be missed, vinegar has unique features in beauty and skin care, and it is a traditional health care product and beauty agent at home and abroad." It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and it is understandable to learn to use vinegar to beautify herself. When you wash your face, add a spoonful of white vinegar to the water, and it won't take long to make your skin appear fair and soft. When shampooing, rinse your hair with lukewarm water with a small amount of vinegar and rinse it with water after 20 minutes to make dry hair smooth and smooth. Take 10 fresh eggs, wash and dry them after cooking, soak them in 500 grams of balsamic vinegar for 1 week to soften them, then peel off the egg whites and egg yolks, grind them and stir them into the vinegar liquid, take 1 spoon of vinegar egg liquid every day, often drink it can make the complexion ruddy and radiant, and it is very effective in reducing the pigmentation of the face. "This Langzhou person can really speak well, even a little two are so full of poetry and books, and they are very good at selling, so we are happy that everyone bought a heavy altar of vinegar.

There happened to be a small shop next to it, we drank vinegar, more and more hungry, we saw that the signature dish Zhang Fei Beef was very delicious, busy and called one, Xiao Er smiled slightly and said: "Guest officers, your vision is very good, this dish is really indispensable, this Zhang Fei Beef does have a unique flavor, unique taste, well-known far and near, the surface is brownish red, the meat is tight after cutting, not dry, not dry, not soft, not hard, the food is salty and palatable, banquet with food, wine and food are suitable." Because of its appearance characteristics of black on the surface and red on the inside, it happens to be very similar to the characteristics of the fierce general Zhang Fei in history, whose face is black and a red heart is to Shu Han, and later generations called Zhang Fei beef. According to legend, when Liu, Guan, and Zhang were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, they once held a banquet, and in order to have delicious snacks, Zhang Fei told him how to make beef for many years for the chef to make. It turned out that Zhang Fei was not only a butcher, but also a good cook, and his marinated beef tasted delicious and delicious. At the beginning of the feast, the brothers drank and ate beef, guessing the order, and were very unhappy. It is all said: Zhang Fei beef is delicious! Zhang Fei beef is delicious! Therefore, when you come to the ancient city of Langzhou, you must eat Zhang Fei beef. "That little two moments of effort on the dish, we quickly hungry gobble up to eat, indeed cut its horizontal grid, lightly tear the cut surface, such as silver pine needles linked, we chew carefully, the flavor is unique, the aftertaste is endless. This flying beef is just like the image of Zhang Fei himself, with a black heart on the surface, and a red heart under the black leather surface. This kind of beef jerky is not hard, moist but not soft, ruddy and bright, and delicious. After tasting it, it is salty and light, and the aftertaste is long. The general braised beef is inevitably stuffed with teeth and teeth, but Zhang Fei beef is slag in the mouth, suitable for all ages, taste carefully, and swallow slowly, which can be described as good in color, fragrance and taste.

Xiao Fei was so happy to eat that he couldn't help blurting out: "The taste of this flying beef is really authentic, and this taste is the same as what I ate many, many years later." Quicksand couldn't help but be stunned and said: "You kid, you drank or something, your speech is really upside down, it should have been a long time ago, but you are not old, not long ago, but I haven't seen you come here alone." Xiao Fei hurriedly changed his words: "I just drank too much vinegar, I drank a little dizzy, I was dizzy, I have probably been here in a dream, and I feel that this situation is very familiar." Duan Gongzi hurriedly lost no time in saying: "Xiao Er, this good wine has good meat, Zhang Fei has beef, is there any good wine?"
