Chapter 212: A Difficult Choice (I)

"Ying'er, this is my gift to you, have you heard of the gift that was given, do you still want it back?" Chang Xiao had a faint smile on his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"But it's worth it, it's too expensive. Wu Ying's voice was a little low, although she liked this crystal badge very much, but the sky-high price of 1 million still made her worried.

"Is 1 million a gift? But isn't a million gift still a gift? Chang Xiao's expression has not changed from beginning to end.

"I can see that you like it very much, since you like it, then stay, besides, I won't suffer, what's yours is mine, are you still mine?" Chang Xiao's mouth showed a hint of a flirtatious arc.

"Hmm!" Wu Ying nodded with a red face, and then hurriedly ran out of Chang Xiao's house.

Chang Xiao looked at the door that was still blowing, he couldn't help touching his chin with a little stubble, and couldn't help muttering, "Isn't it a little too much?"

It seems that since he began to release the so-called nature, the whole person has become very different from before, and his words and actions have become more and more casual, although he still prefers the state in front of him, but, it seems that unintentionally, he has also left a lot of hidden dangers, some sweet, some dangerous.

Shaking his head, Chang Xiao decided not to continue to think about these things, anyway, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, why should there be so many concerns?

Perhaps, the next time he goes to the Hunan restaurant, he should order two dishes, after all, Wu Ying should always be by his side in the next action, the two dishes are just right, okay, it was decided so happily.

After this time of shopping, plus a little farce on the way, the relationship between the two seems to have become closer, this slightly "sudden" change, Chang Xiao thought about it at this time, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but quietly curl up a small arc.

A lot of names for two dishes can't help but start pouring out of my mind......

Guan Tofu, Guan Shark's Fin, Chopped Pepper Fish Head, Chili Fried Meat, Xiangxi Grandma Dish, Jishou Sour Pork, Beef Powder, Chenzhou Fish Meal, Goldfish Lotus, Yongzhou Blood Duck, Steamed Cured Meat, Sister Tuanzi, Ningxiang Flavor Snake, Yueyang Ginger Spicy Snake, etc., all came one after another, making Chang Xiao's mind full of all kinds of tempting delicacies for a moment, making it difficult for him to make any choice for a while, or at all.

Each classic dish represents a heritage, has its own unique history and taste, which cannot be replaced by other dishes, and it is precisely because each dish is a unique individual that it is even more difficult for people to choose.

In the end, after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't make any choice, if it was gold and iron, everyone would choose gold without hesitation, if it was ten taels of gold compared to one or two gold, everyone would choose ten taels of gold without hesitation, but ten taels of gold compared with ten points and zero zero and one taels of gold, I believe that almost everyone could not guarantee that their choice was absolutely correct, right?

Chang Xiao is facing such a situation in front of him, every classic specialty Hunan dish can be a piece of gold covered with a veil, at the moment when the veil is not lifted, everyone does not know, what is their choice, will they regret the result, how difficult is such a choice?

Chang Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, he shook his head gently, and finally gave up making a direct choice, at this time, it is better to check the inheritance and characteristics of Hunan cuisine, maybe from these two points, he will find the food he really wants to taste?

First of all, the development of Hunan cuisine, the origin of Hunan cuisine has begun since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are archaeological discoveries to prove that the ancestors of Xiaoxiang have been out of the state of drinking blood from Ru Mao eight or nine thousand years ago, and began to eat the food that has been processed into cooked food, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the birthplace of Hunan cuisine lives mainly Chu people and Yue people, and many other ethnic minorities live in it, resulting in a variety of food customs, and the wind of sacrifice is extremely popular.

At this time, the ancestors ate the dishes that were already very rich, the grain has rice, sorghum, beans, wheat, millet, millet, millet, rice, but mainly rice, cooking utensils are also a variety of multi-purpose, there are retort (zeng), pots, kettles, etc., with the steamed rice, the particles are not sticky, the taste is sweet and palatable, and the porridge is boiled with the use of 鬲 (li), which is to put the rice and water in the same pot and add fire to cook, the rice can be cooked.

The cooking methods are also very diverse, there are more than ten kinds of cooking methods such as burning, roasting, stewing, frying, boiling, steaming, stewing, vinegar cooking, marinating, sauce, etc., and the ingredients used in daily eating are mostly local characteristic product resources, and the taste is also very rich, and the taste of sour, salty, sweet and bitter is mainly throughout.

It can be seen that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the food culture of the ancestors was already very mature and rich, and its regional and unique food characteristics have been first seen.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, Xiaoxiang's food culture gradually developed a unique system of materials, cooking methods and flavor styles, which used abundant raw materials, colorful cooking methods, and delicious flavors.

From the archaeological remains discovered in recent years, it can be found that in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, the local delicacies have reached nearly 100 kinds of hunger.

Among them, there are 5 categories and 24 kinds of meat soup alone, among which the pure meat is called Tai Soup, which is the best product in the soup, and the remaining part, of which there are nine kinds of thick soup, the clear soup cooked by the method of stewing is called white soup, the meat soup cooked with celery is called Zhong Soup, the meat soup roasted with Artemisia is called Feng Soup, and the meat soup burned with bitter vegetables is called Ku Soup.

In addition, there are 72 kinds of food, such as "fish skin" which is meat cut from the belly of raw fish, "beef guilly" and "deer guilly" which are foods made by cutting raw meat into thin strips, and "boiled rabbit" and "boiled quail" which are dried fried rabbits or quails, and so on.

Of course, as such a distinctive cuisine, the seasoning styles used are also diverse, including salt, sauce, soy bean, koji, sugar, honey, leeks, plums, cinnamon, peppercorns, dogwood, etc., and from the Tang and Song dynasties, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the development of local food culture is more rapid, and finally it is gradually formed a major cuisine with distinctive characteristics among the eight major cuisines that are well-known throughout the country.
