Chapter 189: Stilted Beef

The three girls all opened their mouths wide: "So amazing?"

Li Junge took the three of them to find a place to eat while telling the three of them the story of Lin Wangcai, and the three girls were embarrassed.

Li Junge said: "Lin Wangcai's wife has been separated in this life, but now it can be regarded as a new start, people can't live if they are not obsessed, I believe in his craftsmanship very much, this week's aunt, I think Lin Wangcai is actually not in love at all, I was just afraid that she would impulsively say that she would not go to Li Jiagou if she died, so I pulled Ayin and ran away!"

Xiaomei said hatefully: "You stinky men are really not things! Cause women to suffer with you! If the pig worm dares to do this, I can't beat him to death!"

At this time, it is unclear to reason with a girl, Li Junge can only quickly raise his hands to support it: "That's it, it's too unusual, when he arrives in Lijiagou, I will educate him well! By the way, Ayin, Aunt Zhou probably won't be waiting to see me here, you have to come to this matter, just use the matter of the female celebrity as an excuse to slowly soften her, as long as you can deceive her...... Oh no, coax Li Jiagou, and then let the experts solve it, and let them reunite after all!"

Ah Yin asked a question mark: "Expert?

Li Junge said: "Granny Wang! Li Jiagou is an emotional expert who sits firmly in the first golden position!"

Seeing that it was time to eat, they called Zhu Chaoan and Wang Congjun together, and several people found a stilted beef shop to eat beef.

Stilt beef is also a famous dish in Shuzhou, like bowl chicken, originated in Dafo Jiazhou.

There is also a famous local allusion to this dish.

Legend has it that in the late Qing Dynasty, the folk plague in Shuzhou was prevalent, and the common people were poor and sick.

There is a Suji town in Jiazhou, which is similar to the old Jiachuan, and it is also a place where the river is crisscrossed, and Shudu and Yuzhou can still be connected to the waterway at that time, and this Suji is a hub town on the Sichuan-Chongqing waterway.

There is an old Chinese medicine doctor in the town who is good at Chinese herbal medicine and proficient in the art of Ming Dian, with the heart of helping the world and saving people, he has leisure to cook medicine in a hanging pot by the river in Suji Town, Leshan, to relieve passers-by.

The medicinal decoction prepared by Luo Lao Chinese medicine can not only prevent diseases and quench thirst, but also have a good effect on common diseases such as general cold, spleen and stomach discomfort, swollen and sore gums, etc., so it is very popular with passers-by.

There is a township farm called Zhouchang next to Suji Town, which was a place for slaughtering livestock at that time, and was also called "cattle killing farm".

In the meantime, Luo Lao Chinese Medicine saw that some large families threw the internal organs of cattle and sheep into the river and discarded them, and felt that it was a pity.

So he picked up the offal, washed it, and cooked it in a soup pot with Chinese herbs. It turned out that the soup was very fragrant.

So he took this beef soup and offered it to the poor, because it tasted good and fragrant, and had the effect of preventing and curing diseases. Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come to drink the soup, and it fills up soon after the door opens every day.

Because it is specially designed for the poor, so this hall of Luo Lao Chinese medicine is very simple, after a few stools are sitting, there are no more people who come and there is no seat, so some can only stand, some squat, most of them sit directly on the stone steps of the dock and eat with Erlang's legs and bowls.

When passengers get off the boat, the first thing they see is the diners who are eating and chatting on their feet, and over time, everyone has given this dish a nickname of "stilted beef", which has been passed down to this day.

The earliest stilted beef was served in two bowls. First of all, the cabbage is cabbage to remove the leaf veins, the leaves can not be cut, can only be torn into pieces, thrown in a small bamboo basket, put into the beef broth and then blanched to the bottom of the bowl;

Later, a chef surnamed Yang came out of Jiazhou, and after many comparisons and blends of stilted beef soup, he developed a "fine soup" with a richer soup flavor.

"Essence soup" is made of beef bones, butter, beef offal, beef intestines, bullwhip, etc., and on the basis of the original soup flavor nineteen flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, medicinal dates, wolf, and angelica are added, in addition to the taste is more rich, but also more inclined to scientific nutrition.

In the past 100 years, stilted beef has long been spread out of Jiazhou and has become a famous local food in Shuzhou.

The cooking method has also changed from a small bowl to a large soup pot, and the meat dishes are still those, but the vegetarian dishes have changed from the earliest simple cabbage to radishes, stick vegetables, lettuce, mushrooms and other colorful vegetables.

It has the function of medicinal diet for disease prevention and treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine principle of "supplementing the viscera with the viscera" has greatly improved the taste and grade of this local famous food.

If you have to find an intuitive description, it is probably similar to putting the beef soup of Lanzhou ramen into a soup pot to boil beef offal, and then eating vegetarian dishes to get tired.

Shuzhou people like to eat spicy, this stilted beef is a light white pot, so it must be accompanied by a dry dipping dish prepared with pepper, salt, sesame and peanuts to enjoy it.

The weather turned colder, the people of Shuzhou began to make supplements, and the business of the stilted beef shop was a mess.

Li Junge finally grabbed a table, beckoned everyone to sit down, and said: "Come on, come on, it's just right to eat this in this weather!" Dispel cold and relieve cough, nourish health, beautify and nourish the skin, and keep the red lips after eating one by one." ”

Zhu Chaoan rolled his eyes and said: "Damn, no matter what casserole hot pot you eat, who doesn't have a pink face and red lips! Don't be poor and sour, hurry up and serve the food! I'm hungry!"

This is unreasonable, as soon as the pot came up, Li Junge immediately hated and cooked him a fist-sized piece of radish and put it in the bowl: "No culture, only worthy of eating radish!"

After they were all full, the three couples dispersed, and Li Junge said to Ayin: "Ayin, where are we going to wander for a while?"

Ayin said: "Why don't we walk along Binjiang Road for a while, I heard that there is a Lixiang Square upstream, but I haven't seen it yet." ”

Li Junge didn't have any opinions, and the two walked along Binjiang Road hand in hand.

Binjiang Road is built on a high embankment, the flood of 923, flooded a small half of Jiachuan City, the Jiachuan County Government learned from the pain, decided to increase the embankment, so promised the developer, who will build the embankment, then the corresponding section behind the embankment will be filled in by whomever will be developed.

This move directly buried the old river street in Linjiang in Jiachuan County into the ground, raised the river embankment by dozens of meters as a whole, and pushed back hundreds of meters along the bank of the Yangtze River in Jiachuan County, and rebuilt a river-view house on Binjiang Road, and the flood control level suddenly rose from a 20-year anti-20-year to a 100-year anti-100-year event.

However, the thousand-year-old river street in the antique history, just like the old stories that happened to it, has since disappeared in the long river of history.

Li Junge walked with Ayin and told her the story of Laohe Street under Binjiang Road.

Ayin stopped, pointed to the Yangtze River dozens of meters down and said: "Erpi, I think the government's approach is correct, you look at the current river embankment, all of them are reinforced with stone and cement, no matter how big the flood is, it can't come down to Binjiang Road, the people of Jiachuan have been affected by the flood for thousands of years, and now there is no worry about this, this is a good thing with immeasurable merits!"

Li Junge nodded and said: "It's indeed a good thing, it's just that the colorful market stories on Laohe Street, the old names of the North Gate, the South Gate, Majiezi, and the Big Salt Warehouse can only be read in the county chronicles in the future." In the future, the children will only know that there is a riverside road in Jiachuan!"

Ayin said with a smile: "Actually, this problem is easy to solve, you should quickly become a deputy to the people's congress, and then you propose to the government to carve stones on the original sites of these places as a memory, and write the stories that have happened, so that everyone can read them when they walk on Binjiang Road, how good is this?"

Li Junge rolled his eyes and said, "Don't, I can't even worry about a Li Jiagou, I'm just talking about it." ”

The two continued to move upstream, the river water in late autumn was clear and quiet, the current was not wide, and the river beach was vast. Many people walk on the river beach, take pictures, and the babies throw stones by the river, build sand castles, and play games, a happy and leisurely scene.

Occasionally, a fisherman, frightened away by the stones thrown by the babies in the water, roared angrily, and the babies screamed and ran away.

The screams of the babies startled a few egrets, and they flew lightly and flew far upstream.

Coming to Lixiang Square, it is similar to the ancient Greek Terrace Theater, where each step is also a seat for people to sit and rest.

There are several stone carvings in the four corners, which are flying and riding to Beijing, the palace maid looking back, the yellow gate offering fruits, and the concubine smiling.

Li Junge came to the statue of the concubine and said to Ayin: "Everyone knows that 'when the concubine laughs on the red dust, no one knows that it is a lychee.' It records the story of the Tang Dynasty's Tianbao period, Fuzhou's tribute to lychees. But few people know that in fact, as early as the Yongyuan period of the Han Dynasty, there was a story of the royal request for Jiaozhou to pay tribute to lychees, and then in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a story that Guangzhou directly moved the whole lychee tree with fruit to a large porcelain urn in order to let the Empress Dowager Cixi eat fresh lychees. There's really nothing new under the sun. ”

Ayin said: "I know that Jiachuan was called Fuyang in ancient times, how did it become a tribute lychee from Fuzhou?"

Li Junge said: "Fuzhou is now the place where mustard is produced, at that time Shuzhou had a difficult way out, so it can only be shipped from us, taking advantage of the flood along the Yangtze River to the east of Fuzhou, and then from Fuzhou through Dazhou to Xixiang, and finally take the meridian road into Chang'an, a total length of more than 1,000 kilometers, it took seven days, this is the 'Lychee Ancient Road' recorded in the history books." ”

"There is a Pyeongchang County on this ancient road, the ancient lychee road here has to pass through a ravine called 'bamboo tube ditch', you know how dangerous it is to listen to the name, historical records record that the team transporting lychees was often robbed here, and there were fierce battles because of the bandits. People built a lychee Bodhisattva temple there, blessed the lychee to be transported out of the bamboo tube ditch safely, and there is a local nursery rhyme: "On the chicken village, the lychee is not there; into the bamboo tube ditch, the lychee will be lost; after the rice beam, the lychee is stable". ”

Ah Yin said angrily: "Then this Tang Xuanzong is too much, in order to please his wife, he spent more than 1,000 kilometers of roads at such a great cost, and it is so dangerous along the way, how can Yang Guifei eat this lychee!"
