"Xiaofeng, are you so lively in killing pigs every year?" At the banquet, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses from a thick-soled wine bottle asked Xiao Feng in a low voice.
In order not to make tourists too restrained, young people like Xiao Feng and Xiao Qiang, as well as senior executives of the Jinghu system such as Yang Yuanhang and Ma Wanli, were assigned to each table to guide and introduce tourists.
The middle-aged man is called Xue Husheng, a professional photographer, not long ago from the Internet and newspapers to see the beautiful scenery of Ginkgo Village, immediately felt that this is a photographer's paradise, not to mention bring his heart and equipment to Ginkgo Village.
Xue Husheng has been living in Ginkgo Village for more than half a month, and every day he carries his high-end photographic equipment worth hundreds of thousands of yuan around Jinghu Lake, Jinghu Valley, and Qingling Mountain, taking all kinds of wonderful scenery into the lens.
The longer he stays in Ginkgo Village, the more Xue Husheng can feel the charm of this place, not only because of the beautiful natural scenery, but also because of the feeling of harmony between people and nature.
Xue Hu likes to take pictures of the old people basking in the sun in the village, and the relaxed and satisfied smiles of the old people can always give Xue Husheng more touch and inspiration.
Such a lively pig killing banquet like today, but you can't see it in Haizhou, Xue Husheng has traveled from south to north, and he has seen a lot of things, and it is very rare to encounter this kind of scene full of rural fun. Xue Husheng had consumed a lot of film just now, and he planned to go back and do a related topic.
"In previous years, I would kill two or three heads at home, and I used to study outside, so I was rarely able to participate!" Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "This year's various industry exhibitions at home are good. It took such a big battle to put on a good effect now! ”
In Xiao Feng's memory, he has never participated in the occasion of killing pigs for winter and pickling smoked products, at most he has enjoyed killing pigs every year.
Xiao Feng hopes to hold such an event every year in the future, and form a tradition as a special project in the Mirror Lake Scenic Area.
"I have also been to many places, and the Jinghu Scenic Area has done a good job in the protection and exhibition of traditional customs and cultural environment, and I hope it can be maintained forever!" Xue Husheng had lived in Ginkgo Village for more than half a month, so he naturally had some understanding of the situation of the Jinghu system, and euphemistically put forward his views to Xiao Feng.
As a humanistic photographer. Xue Husheng has been to many places of interest and tourist attractions. But now with the deepening of his opening, the scenic spot is becoming more and more money-oriented, and many traditions are slowly becoming tasteless. Xue Husheng naturally didn't want a paradise like Ginkgo Village to be polluted by too much commerce, if it could maintain its current appearance. This is still for Ginkgo Village or tourists. It's all a good thing.
"This is nature!" Xiao Feng grabbed a pig bone with his hand. sucked up the oily bone marrow in it, and then said: "Regarding this aspect, we also hope that Uncle Xue can take a series of promotional pictures for our Ginkgo Village. Spread more folk customs and traditional skills. ”
Xiao Feng is no stranger to this middle-aged man who often walks around the village with expensive imported photographic equipment, and there are many titles about him on the Internet.
An internationally renowned photographer, vice chairman of the Huaxia Photography Association, a famous writer, and a famous folklore research expert,......, any title is enough to convince people, not to mention that each of Xue Husheng's titles is genuine.
Xiao Feng and Xue Husheng had several exchanges in private, and the two sides had a high degree of consensus on environmental protection and the inheritance of folk skills, and Xiao Feng's five-year study and working life in Haizhou made Xue Husheng have more sense of identity with him, and the two talked happily.
Xiao Feng knew that as the opening time of the Jinghu Scenic Area was approaching, various propaganda offences had also entered the stage of gaining momentum, and he had to make full use of the various resources at hand.
Xue Husheng is one of the big names in the Chinese photography industry, and his every move can affect the majority of photography enthusiasts, which is a rare opportunity for the Mirror Lake Scenic Area.
Some people say, 'Poor play cars, rich play watches, SLR poor three generations!'" Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to prove that people who play photography are not bad for money.
Xiao Feng has figured out the influence of Guò Xue Husheng, using the wonderful natural scenery of the Mirror Lake region and the rich traditional cultural factors of Ginkgo Village as the main materials to build a 'photographer's paradise'.
Jinghu Company is even willing to provide free accommodation for well-known photographers at home and abroad, so as to attract more photographers to live and collect style in Ginkgo Village, and better spread the charm of Ginkgo Village.
"You kid had this idea for a long time!" Xue Husheng pointed at Xiao Feng and said with a smile: "No wonder you are willing to give up your job opportunity in Haizhou and return to Ginkgo Village, this vision is poisonous enough!" Just for the full house of food, I don't promise you and I'm sorry for my stomach! ”
Xue Husheng likes photography, but also loves food, and prefers the stories behind food.
In the past few days, Xue Husheng has tasted a variety of pure green delicacies that are closest to nature and pollution-free in Ginkgo Village, and his love for Ginkgo Village has reached a higher level. Especially after tasting the delicacies cooked by Xiao Feng once in the Xiao family's old mansion, he has been completely conquered.
"This is just a small scene, in two days, I will prepare a real top-level feast for you, Uncle Xue!" Regarding Xue Husheng's request, Xiao Feng didn't say a word, nodded and agreed.
Today's pig killing banquet is because the main essence is to keep the cured meat, Xiao Jinhao can only use local materials, fully wave the various materials on his hand, and make a small banquet that is cold and hot.
The sauced beef is marinated from the local yellow beef that Xiao Jinhao bought on the street a few days ago, cut into thin slices like cicada wings with a knife, and then dipped in a special hot sauce, the rich sauce aroma is wrapped in the aroma of the beef itself, and it melts in the mouth.
Braised pig's head meat is today's pig's head is braised and cut, fat but not greasy, full of chewiness, and it is naturally the best to use it for wine.
The fried peanuts are made from peanuts that have just been harvested and dried this autumn, and the peanut oil is heated and fried in a pan until the color is golden, crispy and delicious.
It is a wild vegetable that can be seen everywhere in the fields and mountain springs and forests of Ginkgo Village, and it becomes a delicious dish when washed and mixed with various seasonings.
After boiling the broth over the big bones of the pig, the lotus root dug up from the pond is put in, and a large bone lotus root soup is the most suitable for the autumn in such a cool autumn.
The raw materials of the braised fish come from Jinghu Lake, and the big carp of about three catties is braised and poured with the sauce boiled by the Lingquan tomatoes in the vegetable garden, which is sweet and sour, and the fish is delicious.
…………
Xiao Jinhao's craftsmanship is not bad, and all kinds of ingredients and raw materials are of the top level, so although today's banquet is not as exquisite as a star-rated hotel, it is full of weight and extraordinary taste.
"Xiaofeng, don't you fool me?!" Xue Husheng was obviously a little unconvinced, looked at Xiao Feng and said, "If I'm not satisfied at that time, I'll eat at your house all day long!" ”
With the insight of Xue Husheng's senior gourmet, it can be determined that today's pig killing banquet is basically the highest level of rural banquets, which is better than those beautifully packaged restaurants. He couldn't imagine that such a banquet was just a small scene in Xiao Feng's mouth?
"Uncle Xue, you just empty your stomach and wait to enjoy it!" Xiao Feng didn't say anything more, and gave Xue Husheng an affirmative answer.
Xiao Feng and Xue Husheng were chatting happily, and the other hosts and guests at the table were also happy, food and wine became the link between everyone, and they let go of their strangeness and reserve, and the atmosphere of the scene began to be lively.
The glutinous rice wine used in the banquet was brewed after Xiao Feng came back, and Xiao Feng secretly added the space spirit spring to the fermented wine vat, making these glutinous rice wines taste more mellow and long.
In a sense, a lot of the delicacies at the pig killing feast can't be bought even if you have money.
The pig killing feast lasted from half past twelve to half past two, and Aunt Xiao led a group of housewives to start cleaning up the mess, packing the remaining dishes and meat separately and giving them to the people who came to help today.
And Xiao Jinhao and others still have the most important work left, which is to start marinating all kinds of meat products!
In order not to affect his work, Xiao Jinhao did not drink too much, and he began to instruct Xiao Jun and others to evenly spread the prepared hot sauce on the pork ribs that had been washed and dried.
In the western Yunnan region, there is a traditional custom of making zuò pork ribs, and after the Xiao family moved to Ginkgo Village, they combined the taste of the Central Plains region and the traditional craftsmanship of western Yunnan to make zuò pork ribs with a better taste. In previous years, if the Xiao family did not kill many pigs, they would also buy a certain number of good ribs on the market for marinating pork ribs.
The pork ribs need to be smeared with hot sauce, the pork belly cut into strips needs to be smeared with salt and rice wine, and the stuffed sausages can be hung up.
After the ribs, pork belly and sausage were all processed, Xiao Jinhao opened a side room on the side of the old mansion, which was where the Xiao family smoked bacon.
Since the Xiao family pickled a large amount of bacon every year, they did not hang above the stove like ordinary people, but built a special room to smoke cured pork ribs, bacon and sausages with various pine, fruit wood and herbs.
When all the meat products were hung in the house, Xiao Jinhao began to light the fire, and the smoke of various aromas began to fill the room, and this smoking process generally lasted for a whole month, and the fire in the smoker room could not be broken during this month.
After a month, delicious smoked food is formed, and people can choose from a variety of cooking methods to reprocess these smoked products into a more delicious storage zài than fresh meat.
In today's highly industrialized and market-oriented world, methods like the Xiao family's pure handmade and carefully selected zuò bacon have almost disappeared. In the past ten years, Xiao Feng, who lives in other places, has used this kind of smoked products sent by Ginkgo Village to maintain his memories of his hometown in many cases.
Time can always give more vitality and charm to many traditional memories.
However, in the eyes of Xue Husheng, who was constantly taking pictures, smoked wax products were just a small surprise he saw today, and a bigger surprise was yet to come! (To be continued......)
