Changshi is a famous historical and cultural city, when Jing Chu was old, the ancestors sacrificed to the god of fire, no matter what is it, what is the chronicle of Ji Zhu, the fire palace of today, also known as the Qianyuan Palace, was built in the Ming Dynasty Wanli five years ago (AD 1577), has a history of more than 430 years.

This text was seen by Wu Xiaozheng in the "Reconstruction" of the Fire Palace in his later life.

It can be seen that it is not an exaggeration to crown the Fire Palace with a time-honored Chinese brand.

However, this time-honored brand is indeed a time-honored brand with many disasters and difficulties.

According to historical records, the Fire Palace has been rebuilt and expanded no less than six times.

"The first rebuilding of the Fire Palace was in the sixth year of Daoguang (1826). ”

"In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1938), a Wenxi fire burned down the temple here, and it was not rebuilt again until the thirtieth year of the Republic of China (1941), but only the fire temple was restored. ”

"After the liberation, it was expanded once in about 60 years, and some buildings were built, and the place was opened to the outside world. ”

"In 1984, the Fire Palace carried out the second large-scale renovation since the liberation, and the main building was transformed into an antique building in the style of halls, buildings, pavilions and pavilions, and was renamed 'Fire Palace Restaurant'. ”

……

Facing Zhang Ying and Ma Li, Wu Xiaozheng began to talk about the history of the Fire Palace, and said it one by one, like a few treasures.

"How do you know so much? I've been in Changshi for a few years, and I don't know as much as you do. Zhang Ying asked curiously.

Can it be unclear!

As a practitioner in the food industry, Wu Xiaozheng didn't know how many times he had been to the Fire Palace in his previous life.

And he also knows that if history does not change, there will be a large-scale renovation here in the next year, and a podium will be built on the west and north sides of the main building, and a seven-story classical building will be built on the south side, so as to solve the problems of no parking lot and too small business hall area of the enterprise.

The largest renovation and expansion project in the history of the Fire Palace will take place from 2001 to 2002.

At that time, it will not only restore the fire temple, the ancient stage, and the fire palace teahouse, but also decorate the ancient archway, and build a new food street, banquet building, stone workshop, and pool pavilion in the west building, so that the unique "fire temple culture" in southern China will be formed here.

Although the current appearance of this place is very different from what he saw in later generations, Yang Mu still saw many familiar buildings and shops.

If you want to talk about what snacks are the most famous in the Fire Palace, Yang Mu is naturally clear.

The number one is naturally stinky tofu.

During the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, a tofu shop surnamed Jiang in Xiangyin County, Changsha Prefecture, accidentally fried stinky tofu because of a pot of sauce-pickled tofu that had been dried for a long time, and then sold well in the county.

During the Qing Dynasty, the Jiang family moved stinky tofu into the Changsha Fire Palace.

By the time Jiang Bingkun, the fifth generation of the Jiang family, operated stinky tofu in the Fire Palace, he was already famous in the city.

And what makes stinky tofu famous all over the world is ****.

In April 1958, when **** inspected the Fire Palace, he said while tasting stinky tofu: The stinky tofu in the Fire Palace smells stinky and tastes delicious.

This sentence made the Fire Palace notorious.

In later generations, the streets and alleys of all parts of the country were full of the kind of small carts marked with "authentic Changshi stinky tofu".

Secondly, the dragon fat pig blood, braised pork knuckles, shredded pork dumplings, sister dumplings, scaly tofu, sugar and oil baba, etc., are all classic snacks containing many historical stories.

For these classic snacks, Wu Xiaozheng tasted them as soon as they were there, but the two women ate them with relish.

Relatively speaking, Ma Li obviously has more words than Zhang Ying.

She asked Wu Xiaozheng while eating: "Zhenghan, you are now an expert in catering, if you were asked to evaluate, how many points would you give these snacks?"

This is a difficult question to answer.

It's like the famous stinky tofu, if you change the cooking expert to make it, he may be able to make it taste better, but diners may not agree with it, they will think that the taste is not authentic.

"Ever heard of Mommy's taste?"

Naturally, Ma Li had never heard of it, because it was a word that became popular in later generations.

"If you have the opportunity to go out and eat all the food in the world, then you will find that it is still the few home-cooked dishes that your mother made for you when you were a child that best suits your taste, and this is the taste of mother. ”

The two women seemed to have forgotten the delicious food in their hands, and began to listen to Wu Xiaozheng talk about food in a daze.

"This is the case with these classic snacks from the Fire Palace. These special snacks here may not be the best delicacy in the world, but they must be very distinctive, and after eating, you will remember this taste. ”

"When you eat it ten years later, twenty years later, it still tastes the same, and that's a classic. ”

Gastronomy is a strange thing.

Many times, everyone eats not only the taste, but also the culture, atmosphere, feelings, and memories.

And the word "taste" is wonderful.

It tastes, it feels, and then it blends together.

With the taste and feeling, it is like the footprints left on the road we have walked, as long as it happens, we will remember the past. It can also be said that taste is a part of the memory in the brain, a kind of affectionate reminder.

After listening to Wu Xiaozheng's words, Ma Li suddenly became silent.

Mommy's taste!

She remembered the word deeply.

The past few months have been a nightmare for Ma Li.

As a woman, with a vision for the future, Ma Li began to enter society and began her career.

Soon, she reaped sweet love and entered into marriage.

At that time, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the whole world.

It's a pity that just over a year has passed, and her dream has been shattered.

Not only did she suffer betrayal from her lover, but she also had to face the strange and ridiculed eyes of everyone.

When she was most hesitant, the only thing she could think of was to escape, to run away.

At this critical time, it was Wu Xiaozheng, a student, who stood with her to care for her, enlighten her, and help her.

Ma Li is just a very ordinary woman.

Like other women, she also has cowardice, hesitation, and desire, because of desire, because of moving, she has unrealistic thoughts about Wu Xiaozheng, a student who can give her a sense of dependence.

As a woman with a lot of action, Ma Li thought about it and began to test Wu Xiaozheng.

Unfortunately, this is yet another unrealistic dream.

Ma Li, who woke up from a dream again, began to stimulate Zhang Ying after returning to Xiangshui.

In her opinion, only when Wu Xiaozheng has a woman by her side can she completely break her own thoughts.

Wu Xiaozheng's attitude just now has clearly made her clear.

This let her know that her thoughts about Wu Xiaozheng can indeed only be a dream.

At that moment, she had the idea of going out.

Perhaps, Yingpei Experimental School is just a temporary place for me to stay, and eventually I still have to go out.

Before going out, I want to eat all the delicious food of Hunan Province and remember the taste of this hometown.

This should be the taste of mother.
