Hunan cuisine, one of the eight major cuisines, has the distinctive personality of Huxiang cuisine - harmonious but different, spicy but not strong, sour but not cool......

Speaking of Hunan cuisine, it is impossible not to mention "Chu Ci", not only because "Chu Ci" can prove the existence of Hunan cuisine and define the past of Hunan cuisine, but also because the high starting point of Hunan cuisine can be restored through "Chu Ci".

The formation and development of Hunan cuisine are like trees with roots and water with sources. As early as the Warring States Period, the cooking skills of Chu cuisine have been quite mature, forming a sour, salty, sweet, bitter and spicy flavor style, and has the flavor characteristics of strong, fragrant, clear, light and fresh, the food is abundant, the peculiar smell is varied, the love of sour and spicy, and the cooking skills are superb.

The land of Chuxiang, the beauty of mountains and rivers, has been talked about since ancient times; The prosperity of humanity is unparalleled in the world. Inheriting the heritage of traditional culture, the practical fashion applied by the world, and the feelings of a strong man who dares to be the first, Chu Xiang chef has achieved "a pot of delicious food synthesized by multiple cultures" - a personalized Hunan cuisine.

No wonder there are poems: the eight series of delicacies are extraordinary, and Hunan cuisine is good at modern and ancient masters; Cooking is sour and spicy and fragrant, and everyone praises before the feast.

"If you have good food, you can't have good wine." Old Man Lin said, "Nannan! He said in a long voice.

"It's already ready."

"Dangdang......" Fang Monan got up and took out a jar of wine from the cupboard.

"Aged Flower Carving." Old Man Lin sniffed his nose and said, "I'm drunk just by smelling it." ”

"Oh! That's what you said, only smell it, don't drink it! Grandma Lin made a gesture to take the jar away.

"That's not going to work." Old Man Lin hugged the jar from Fang Monan's hand.

"This is your ......," Fang Menan took out another jar of wine and a bottle.

"Moutai ......" Xiong Baochun's eyes instantly sparkled.

"You kid, you haven't drunk! It's up to you. Guan Dashan said with a smile. Shall we drink less wine at dinner? ”

Have you ever seen a soldier drinking, to use some people's description, it is the same as a charge, a big bowl is raised, and a neck is about to see the bottom.

Lian Yufeng said with a smile, "In these days, drinking wine is like drinking soup, this person is a businessman; You don't need to be persuaded to drink, you work in the court; Raise a glass and take a dry mouth, it must be public security; Eight taels are not drunk. This man is a tax of the nation; Start with a pound. It must be the People's Liberation Army! Uncle Xiong, I don't have much to drink. ”

"Where did you say that, where did the stinky boy hear it? If the ordinance does not allow drinking, smoking is not allowed. Xiong Baochun waved his hand.

"It's a pity that it's not the time to eat crabs. The best ageing flowers. Old Man Lin said with a look of regret.

"Don't be sorry. In previous years, when we ate crabs, we didn't drink less! Fang Menan smiled.

Fang Menan picked up the altar. Fill each person with a full cup.

"The aroma is rich and fragrant, and the wine is orange and yellow." Bella took a sip from her glass.

"Hmm!" Bella's eyes lit up, "The wine is soft and sweet. Wine. ”

The degree of Huadiao wine is generally about 15 degrees, and you will not get drunk if you drink it.

"This beer is listed as a nutritious food, called liquid bread, so Huadiao wine is well-deserved to be known as a liquid cake, Huadiao wine is rich in nutrition, it is rare in the world's liquor." Grandma said with a smile. "The nutritional value is very high." She took a sip as she spoke.

"This Huadiao wine, isn't it also known as Daughter Red!" Bella asked, raising an eyebrow.

"How do you know?" Grandma asked curiously.

"Of course I drank it in Chinatown." Fang Mo Nan said with a smile in his eyebrows.

"This Huadiao wine is also known as the champion red and daughter red, according to legend, people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in ancient times will make their own rice wine, because they want to give away but suffer from the general utensils are not fine enough, so they ask people to burn some clay pots or earthen pots carved with dragons and phoenixes, flowers and plants, fish and birds, so the rice wine in such utensils is respectfully called Huadiao."

"Flower carving marrying a girl! Isn't that the wine? Bella asked again.

"You girl, you really know everything." Grandma laughed.

"Why do you want to carve on the outside of the jar? It is the parents' best wishes for their daughters, a prayer and a hope hidden in the hearts of the parents. The female wine carving is the wine that the daughter of the family feasts when she gets married, and it is the witness of the daughter of the family growing up. When drinking flowers and carvings, it is the time to marry a daughter.

At this time, this event is a happy event, a beautiful event, a blessing event, and a happy event. In today's Shaoxing, it is difficult to find a complete process of flower carving and marrying a daughter. However, on the day of her daughter's wedding, using high-quality wine and high-quality Huadiao wine is still a must-have for real relatives and friends. Huadiao wine still contains a deep affection, an expectation, and a wish for Shaoxing people to marry their daughters. Old man Lin sighed that he missed a lot, which was the regret of his life.

"What are you thinking? The most important thing is that we can be together. Grandma Lin patted his hands and said.

"This is Mao's braised pork, which belongs to Hunan cuisine, and it is also one of the common home-cooked dishes." Yu Qingqing hurriedly smiled.

"Just listen to the last name and know who likes it the most." Fang Mo South Road.

"I know, I know, it's Grandpa Mao!" Little Dudu raised his hand and said.

"Doodoo is awesome, right." Grandma Lin rubbed his little head and said.

Cao Mo said, "Hmm! Sure enough, it is the authentic 'Mao's braised pork' with red and bright color, fat but not greasy! He took a piece and put it in his mouth, "It's really melt-in-your-mouth." ”

Old Man Lin recovered his spirit and said with a smile, "This is all thanks to the taste of Chairman Mao back then, the old Chairman Mao liked the crispy taste very much, so Master Shi Yinxiang deliberately improved the traditional Sanxiang roast pork into this." ”

Chairman Mao loves braised pork known to the world, so braised pork, also known as Mao's braised pork, is one of the eight famous dishes at the chairman's banquet, and it is also the unique flagship product of Hunan cuisine series, which has been loved by the world so far. At that time, even in the 70s, braised pork was a high-quality dish, and the chairman believed that braised pork could replenish a lot of energy, restore physical strength, and make people energetic. According to historical records, when Chairman Mao was commanding the three major battles, he said to the guard Li Yinqiao: 'As long as you give me a meal of braised pork every three days, I will have the energy to defeat the enemy.' It can be seen that the chairman has a penchant for braised pork. Guan Dashan said.

Yu Qingqing said, "This dish is famous. If you want to make an authentic and delicious 'Mao's braised pork' taste, cooking time is the key, and comrades who are afraid of burning and time-consuming will be exempted from this dish. ”

"'Mao's braised pork' is a compound taste, it integrates star anise, cinnamon, chili, grass fruit, green onion, ginger, garlic and other aromas, which has a lot more aftertaste than the braised pork we usually eat." Fang Monan greeted with a smile, "Let's take a look!" ”

"Fat but not greasy, red and bright in color, fragrant and strong, and sweet, is it sugar." Bella said, eating another piece.

"Bella is right! Stir-frying sugar is a key step in affecting the color of the finished braised pork. Brush the wok with a little bottom oil, no need to heat the oil, directly put 1-3 spoons of sugar, stir-fry over low heat until the saccharification turns to brown-red, continue to fry, the sugar liquid will turn up the brown-red foam, continue to stir-fry, after a while, you will see the foam increase, the color becomes lighter and turns to a very attractive golden red, then the sugar is fried. ”

"Eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in large bowls, and enjoy yourself." Xiong Baochun sighed.

"Come on, heroes, cheers." Bella picked up the wine glass with both hands, and said it with pride, and she was dry when the words fell.

Bella looked at them stunned and said, "Why am I not right?" The turbulent Three Kingdoms period was an era of heroes. Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan were three righteous and drunk, and their lives were closely linked together. That kind of heroic spirit has made the heroes of the world admire it so far.

The heroes of Shuibo Liangshan are even more so, they don't have blood but wine in their veins. Do you think which hero's heroic feats are not catalyzed by wine and meat? A cautious Lin Chong was stimulated by wine and meat before Gao Yanei killed; Wu Song, whether Jingyanggang fights tigers, or fights Ximenqing, or blood spattered Mandarin Duck Tower, they are all wine and meat in the lead. Lu Zhishen is a monk who drinks meat and eats meat and drinks wine and then acts chivalrous. In fact, the heroes of Liangshan have no reason not to eat and drink. It was a job of pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, and he dared to pull the emperor off the horse with his whole body. ”

"Poof...... Bella, what else do you not know. ”

Not only Fang Monan, but others were also dumbfounded, she was a foreign girl who knew more than the authentic Chinese.

"But Bella is right! With a large piece of meat, the pride of drinking in a big bowl can break into Kyushu, and only then can you shoot when it is time to shoot. Fang Monan smiled, "Uncle Cao, Aunt Cao, show courage!" Let's learn from the heroes and eat meat! Let's be like the heroes, cheers! ”

"Eat meat! Cheers! The crowd responded.

"Doctor Fang is right, whether you are dead or alive, go back in style." Cao Mo put down the bowl and filled another cup.

It can be seen that people advocate this kind of heroic behavior of "eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls", although sometimes noble people criticize it as gangsterism. Fang Monan didn't know what was wrong with this kind of habit of the rivers and lakes, he only knew that it would be good if people could act as spontaneously as a good man in the rivers and lakes.

There are so many things in today's society that force people to think twice. The result of thinking twice is to make people feel that it is really tiring to be alive.

Many people think, especially men, probably hope to jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements! And the heroes seem to be able to do this, so I envy them, and then want to live like them, just like Cao Mo said.

"Doctor Fang, don't worry, we will stick to it no matter what, I'll bet my youth on tomorrow, why don't you go in style!" Yu Qingqing also smiled heartily. "If you don't fight now, wait when!"

Fang Monan bowed slightly, there are some things, the idea is good, and he can take the first step with a hot brain, but when he encounters setbacks, he may also retreat.

"Poof...... Mom, you listen to pop songs too! Cao Xuefang blinked and joked.

"What's your mother, am I old-fashioned?" Yu Qingqing teased. "There is still a positive side to this song."

The half-literate and half-white lyrics of "Walk Away in Style" present a simple philosophy of life, as well as a popular and smooth melody, making it a golden song in 91. And the song fits with the people's thinking under the economic tide in the 90s, and gradually becomes a mantra and buzzword. (To be continued......)
