Chapter 6 Snail Flour
It is memorable and evocative!
No matter what level of working group comes to Tower Hill, it must be on the dinner table. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whenever a veteran returns to the army, he must first find it, eat a bowl, or even two bowls, and feel particularly thirsty and enjoyable.
It is the famous Guangxi specialty - Liuzhou snail noodles. It has become a unique memory in the minds of Tashan soldiers, and it is also a unique complex for everyone's Tashan troops.
"Ah Biao, eat powder." As soon as the physical training in the evening was over, Heipi called Lin Zhuangbiao, and after being approved by the squad leader, he went straight to the powder shop. The black skin is Chen Hongxing, because he is tanned in Hainan, everyone who has a good relationship calls him black skin. There is one powder shop in each camp, but the taste is one, and the most authentic one is the three camp powder shop and the family area powder shop of the agency. They went to the Sanying noodle shop, where there was already a long queue of people eating noodle.
A serving of snail noodles, plus a screw egg for three yuan, eat a bowl deliciously, and the fatigue of a day's training will disappear. But this kind of delicacy is not something that everyone can afford, and the monthly allowance of only 35 yuan is stretched, which is always prohibitive. Because it's rare, I eat it once in a while, which makes people fascinated. After a long time, I became addicted to it, and after not eating it for a few days, I felt that something was missing. Some people speculate whether there is some special substance in it that can make people addicted. I think that's just speculation.
The two of them came back after eating, and each carried one in their hands. Abidanti is for the company commander, and Heipiti is for the squad leader.
"Company commander, I brought you a bowl of snail noodles." Ah Biao came to the company commander's room and knocked on the door to report.
"It's a strong standard, thank you." Company commander Li Yongmin got up and opened the door.
"Did you add eggs?" The company commander asked.
"Added." Ah Biao replied.
"Come, give you money."
"No need, company commander, this is what I invited you to eat." Ah Biao hurriedly refused, for fear that his mind would be disappointed.
"How's that going to work? Otherwise, you take the powder away. As he spoke, the company commander pushed the powder in front of Ah Biao.
Ah Biao had no choice but to take the money and hurry back to the class. The company was about to take a roll call, because it only took about 20 minutes from the end of the training to the late roll call. Of course, the squad leader will not ask for black-skinned powder money.
The company commander is a native of Hunan and is well-known in the regiment. The regiment I was in was the regiment of the "Baguling Heroic Company". In February 1979, in the battle of attacking Baguling in self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam, the Second Company of our regiment fought bloodily for more than three hours, won four heights in one fell swoop, killed 68 people, wounded many enemies, captured a batch of weapons, equipment and materials, successfully completed the task, and was awarded the title of "Baguling Heroic Company" by the Military Region. Our company was awarded the title of "Fourth Company of Steel Knife" by its superiors because of its outstanding completion of tasks and its courage to overcome difficulties, like a steel knife inserted in the heart of the enemy. In peacetime, only the fourth company dared to argue with the second company in military training.
The company commander is not married, and he regards the company as his home, and he eats and lives in the company. The soldiers all regarded him as a big brother in life, and they didn't forget to bring him a copy of the delicious food. Sometimes, when the soldiers brought back souvenirs from vacation, he would also taste them with everyone. In contrast, he prefers to eat snail noodles. Sometimes in the morning when he didn't have time to eat, he asked the correspondent to buy one and serve it as breakfast with relish.
In June 2005, 7 years after being discharged from the army, his comrade-in-arms Guo Yongning came to Guangxi from Henan to learn how to make snail noodles. He can endure hardships, from learning to cut chili peppers, fry chili noodles, boil chili oil, stew snail soup, step by step, from beginning to end with a sense of entrepreneurial energy. "Snail noodles are the most famous and popular snack rice noodles in Liuzhou. It has a unique flavor of sour, spicy, fresh, refreshing and hot, and is very delicious. The taste of snail noodles is also due to the unique soup stock. The soup is made with 13 kinds of natural spices, such as snail meat, sannai, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and chili peppers, as well as MSG and sucrose. Listening to the boss's explanation, Guo Yongning, who has eaten snail noodles for several years, also knew its process:
Preparation of ingredients
1. First of all, we must prepare rice noodles, not the kind of rice noodles in the northern market, you have to use dry cut powder, Liuzhou's unique round rice noodles - rice snail noodles can have two kinds, one is cut powder, the other is freshly squeezed round "line powder", and the characteristic is that it is a side dish snail meat. Different from the rice noodles (rice noodles) eaten, the diameter of the dry cut flour is about 3 mm, soak in water for more than an hour and set aside (usually the dry cut flour is soaked in water to soften and then cooked).
Snail flour is made of aged rice, "the older the better", the rice that has been stored for a long time has lost its oiliness and has no gum, and after being processed into rice flour, it tastes elastic but very good. When cooking, it is the opposite of Guilin rice noodles, Guilin rice noodles should be soaked in hot water before cooking, while snail noodles are soaked in cold water, otherwise, the noodles will break after cooking and have no elasticity, so it is important to master this.
2. Secondly, prepare the soup stock, that is, snail soup, the real snail noodles do not have snails, and the taste of rice noodles comes from snail soup. You can use snail meat or small snail meat from the river, and the taste is almost the same. First of all, the bought snails, to live, soak them in water for 2 days, and put a piece of iron into the water of the snails to promote the snails to spit mud, and at the same time can inhibit the northerners who are afraid of the schistosomes parasitic in the snails, so that the snail meat is sweet. Suck the snail clean, take it out, and cut off the tail of the snail with an iron inlay, which is generally easy to accumulate silt, and it is also convenient for the snail to smoke when it is ripe.
3. Drain the snail water, boil the hot oil, pat the garlic, ginger, garlic, dried red pepper, perilla, stir-fry the ingredients (add as many ingredients as possible) pour in the snails and stir-fry, add salt, chicken essence, oyster sauce, cooking wine, until 4 minutes cooked, add water and simmer over low heat for more than 2 hours. The key to the soup is the ingredients added when adding water, each family has a secret recipe, a good soup recipe is to spend money to buy, and after the soup is ready, it is put on the stove and simmered slowly.
4. Good ingredients are also indispensable. The sour bamboo shoots should not be too sour, the dried radish should not be too sweet, and the yuba and peanuts should be fried just right. Let's talk about the side dishes: fried yuba; capers; stir-fried fungus and the famous sour bamboo shoots; fried peanuts; Diced small turnips; Sauerkraut (called snow cabbage in the north).
Steps:
1. First boil water in a pot, add vegetables, green color, water spinach, lettuce, rape flowers (not planted north of the Yangtze River), take out the vegetables after 8 minutes of cooking, and pour a little oil.
2. Then add the soaked rice noodles and cook them, remove them and press them on the vegetables, then add side dishes, and finally pour in the snail soup.
After returning to his hometown, Guo Yongning partnered with his comrades to set up a night market stall, and the business was quite good. The comrades-in-arms came to taste it one after another, as if they had returned to the Tashan troops and had another "snail addiction".
Comrades-in-arms, the Tashan troops shouted that the Tashan soldiers went back to eat noodles, did you hear that?
