Chapter 44: Temptation (Part 3)

The first thing Chen Er did after returning to China was indeed not to go to Yanjing, but to return to his hometown of Shuzhong.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather these days, I took my gadgets to dig bamboo shoots on Mount Emei.

Chen Er started a live broadcast while climbing up the mountain and talked to everyone.

"It's been a long time since I've cooked live."

"I miss this feeling very much!"

Qingtian: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Chen Laoshi is so old!" ”

Tea eggs invade the earth: "Old Lao's wet little scumbag is very sexy!" ”

Chen Ermo rubbed his chin and said, "I'm really sorry that I forgot to shave my beard." ”

He recalled the scene when he had just gone up the mountain, and muttered to himself, "No wonder when I passed by the scenic spot just now, no half of the tourists could recognize me...... It turned out that he forgot to shave his beard and was sealed with his appearance......"

Chen Er took out the small hoe in the basket and held it in his hand, looking for bamboo shoots that could be dug in the bamboo forest.

"The food I'm going to do today is from Dream of Red Mansions."

"It's called ham and bamboo shoot soup."

This dish is also a modern famous dish.

Yangzhou people call this dish "a sip of freshness". This sip is the homonym of Jiangnan's "pickled fresh".

"Pickled" means ham or salted meat, "Du" means light and slow simmering in Shanghainese, and "Xian" means fresh bamboo shoots and fresh meat.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, there was a food custom of stewed fresh bamboo shoots with ham in the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, it is not unusual for "Dream of Red Mansions" to talk about this delicacy.

Chen Er also returned to his hometown before he remembered the bamboo shoots in Mount Emei.

Then by the way, I remembered this ham and bamboo shoot soup.

Emei's bamboo shoots refer to dried bamboo shoots, which are a famous specialty of Mount Emei.

Emei bamboo shoots have a long history. Hu Shi'an of the Ming Dynasty said in "Zhizhu Change" that "Eshan bamboo is the most varied...... The monks dried the bread for the meal. "Ezhu bamboo shoots can be found in the mountains in all seasons", rich in resources. By the Qing Dynasty, it had developed into a city, "selling 100 quintals per day". It has become one of the sideline businesses of mountain farmers.

There are many varieties of bamboo shoots, including fresh bamboo shoots, salted bamboo shoots, etc. Fresh bamboo shoots are classified by origin, and there are Longdong bamboo shoots, Longchi bamboo shoots, Er'e mountain bamboo shoots, and Si'e mountain bamboo shoots...... But its taste is not as good as the bamboo shoots of Daeshan (Emeishan). Classified as bamboo, there are safflower shoots, which are purple-red and have thick stems.

If you are a foreigner to buy, the locals will generally recommend the products produced in the Mahayana Temple and the Dragon Cave area, which are crisp and fragrant, and have a fruity taste.

Today, Chen Er wanted to go up the mountain to pick some bamboo shoots and go back to make dried bamboo shoots.

"Actually, it's best to use spring bamboo shoots to make this ham and bamboo shoot soup, but it's not spring."

And the small world is not with me, and there is nowhere to find spring bamboo shoots.

"I had to take random materials."

There are many kinds of bamboo planted on Mount Emei, and Chen Er also has a goal in coming this time.

The species of bamboo he is targeting is Nanzhu.

Moso bamboo shoots are recognized as the best green natural food, one of the traditional forest vegetables, and one of the "mountain delicacies" listed as the "first vegetarian product".

In the island country and Canada, it is recognized as a "must-have for meals, a must-eat every day" vegetable.

Nanzhu bamboo shoots have a delicate and smooth taste, smooth and clean like jade, so they are called jade nan pieces.

Chen Er is going to dig the bamboo shoots of Nanzhu today.

Although there is also a small amount of Nanzhu growing in Emei, but, in terms of the whole country, the best Nanzhu is not here.

The quality of bamboo is especially the best in Hunan, followed by Jiangxi and Fujian.

Chen Er searched for a long time and dug up more than a dozen bamboo shoots.

"Because of the current season, the bamboo shoots are not so tender."

When you return home with the bamboo shoots on your back, you can start making dried bamboo shoots.

"The best time to make dried bamboo shoots is around the Qingming Festival every year, when the bamboo shoots are the freshest."

The steps to make dried bamboo shoots are not complicated, but they take a long time, often more than half a year.

In other words, Chen Er is ready now, and he won't be able to eat it until next year.

Chen Er clapped his hands and began to make dried bamboo shoots.

Peel off the bamboo shoots first, and then boil them thoroughly with water at high temperature.

After cooking, rinse with cool, clear water.

At this time, you can slice or shred according to your personal preference, and then after processing, you can dry it and store it.

Chen Er briefly described the process, and it was time to start making ham and bamboo shoot soup.

"The process of making dried bamboo shoots is too complicated, so I won't broadcast it live, and now let's get straight to the point - ham and bamboo shoot soup!"

To make this dish, the two most essential ingredients are ham and fresh bamboo shoots.

Now, fresh bamboo shoots are available, and ham is still missing.

Ham is the leg of a cured or smoked animal, such as beef shank, lamb shank, pork leg, chicken leg.

The production process is complex, but the taste is extremely delicious and the storage time is long.

Speaking of ham, the most famous of them is Jinhua ham.

Jinhua ham, according to research, Jinhua folk cured ham, began in the Tang Dynasty. The "Collection of Materia Medica" written by Chen Zangqi during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty contains: "Ham, the best one who produces Jinhua". It has a history of more than 1,200 years.

According to legend, the Song Dynasty Yiwu anti-gold famous general Zong Ze, once the hometown "pickled legs" dedicated to the imperial court, King Kang Zhao saw that its flesh was bright red like fire, full of praise, gave the name "ham", so it is also called "tribute legs".

Jinhua ham is made of Jinhua pig, especially the two black heads. Jinhua pig has the unique advantages of thin skin and fine bones, appropriate proportion of meat fat, delicate muscles, and delicious meat.

The Jinhua ham produced is bright in color, red and white, lean meat is fragrant and salty and sweet, fat meat is fragrant but not greasy, delicious and delicious.

"The ham chosen by the anchor today is, of course, Jinhua ham meat."

Chen Er took out the sliced ham and showed it to everyone.

A large amount of saliva emoji immediately floated through the barrage.

"It feels so good!"

"I've heard that some hams are eaten right after they are cut! Is it true! ”

"Hold the grass, this color! This looks! ”

"I've contracted these hams!"

"Then I have to contract Chen Lao Wet......"

"Don't think about it upstairs! Chen Lao Shi is mine! The ham is mine too! ”

“……”

The sliced ham is red and white, the meat is firm, and the texture is clear.

It looks like a fine jade, giving off an alluring luster under the light.

Chen Er picked up a slice of ham and brought it to the camera.

Under the illumination of the light, the texture and texture of the ham slices are illuminated very clearly, as if presenting a wonderful translucent state.

You can't help but want to open your mouth and take a bite.

Chen Er said to everyone, "There are a few things to pay attention to when cleaning ham. ”

"The ham should be soaked in cold water first, and the fat should be washed with hot water, one is to remove a little salt, and the other is to wash away the taste of pickled food."

Chen Er babbled about the precautions for cleaning the ham, and did not mean to speed up his speech at all.

Instead, it looks slow.

The piece of ham in his hand also kept dangling in front of the camera.

So much so that fans off the screen didn't pay much attention to what he was saying, but kept staring at the piece of ham.

Chen Er apparently noticed this too, so he had to put the ham slice back on the plate.

"A large amount of sodium chloride and sodium nitrite are used in the process of ham making, and long-term intake of too much salt will lead to high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, and excessive nitrite consumption will cause food poisoning, so a large amount of long-term consumption of ham is harmful to human health." ”

Pork stewed vermicelli: "Chen Laoshi, you talk well, don't tempt us with food again!" ”

Chen Er picked up the plate full of ham and leaned in front of the camera, "Preferred." ”
