Some old Chengdu people despise eating rabbits. To this end, I humbly ask an old gourmet for advice, hoping to explore some historical origins of local food culture. Who knows that he simply spit out the two syllables of "grass gas" and it came to an abrupt end. I wanted to ask what "grass gas" was, but when I saw the old man's expression of disdain, I stopped talking at once.
At that time, I was puzzled: Is the so-called "grass rest" that gourmets disdain to talk about an assessment conclusion of the performance of rabbit Deloitte, or the ultimate evaluation of my ignorance? Or the old man is tired of me asking for anecdotes related to diet and suspects that my ears are highly similar to rabbits in shape; Or does the old man think that I envy others to eat free high-end banquets, and my eyes become the same as rabbits? I didn't wake up the subtext of "grass rest" after thinking about it, so I had to say goodbye to the food.
Self-proclaimed "glib tongue", after thinking about it, I seem to find the meaning of "grass breath"-neither the careless breath of outlaws nor the careless haste, but the elegant statement that I can't go to the sacred palace of food, right? I don't think it's necessary to think deeper. What the old man means is not the inference made by rabbits eating grass, is it? It doesn't make sense if it's as I guess-now the rabbit diet structure has been upgraded from WINDOWS 98 to WINDOWS XP, where can it only eat grass like its ancestors? People (sorry, no one uses anthropomorphic rhetoric like me, as if it should be written as "rabbit house") are eating compound feed, and hormones conducive to rapid growth are added to the compound feed. How can there be a "smell of grass"? Look at those high-tech rabbits. They are fat and personable, and they all exude the commercialization of quick success and instant benefit.
Since the "organization conclusion" made by gourmets on rabbits is not convincing, I have to ask for information-rabbit meat is "the essence of meat", lean meat accounts for more than 95%, white matter accounts for about 2 1%, and the content of various amino acids is higher than other meats. Fresh rabbit meat contains 8% fat, more phospholipids but less cholesterol, and higher calcium content. The muscle fiber containing 0.75% carbohydrate is tender, and the digestibility can reach 85%, which is higher than that of pig, cow and mutton. In a word, rabbit meat is an ideal meat for children, the elderly, the sick and the infirm. Moreover, rabbit meat is rich in lecithin, which can effectively inhibit platelet aggregation, protect blood vessel wall and prevent thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. Choline in lecithin can improve people's memory and prevent brain function from declining ... You see, such a baby is not attractive. Anyone who wants to say "grass" in the future, I must "roar when the road is rough" for the rabbit!
On the night when I was complacent about rehabilitating the rabbit's "grassiness", I suddenly remembered that the next day was Teacher's Day. Well, I wander in the virtual world every day and am ridiculed by an online friend as "Chengdu is delicious." I almost forgot to visit my teacher. Every Spring Festival and Teacher's Day, I will visit my junior high school math teacher. She has never stopped for 4 1 year, and she is quite proud of it.
Before 1995, Xinfan Town was the administrative seat of the county, where I attended primary school and junior high school. After the teacher retired, he lived in Xinfan in summer and autumn. After seeing the teacher, I accompanied her to the East Lake Park to "revisit the old place".
The newly-built East Lake, which covers an area of only 30 mu, has a long history. It was dug by Li Deyu, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, which can make people "chitose". There are only two classical humanistic gardens in China in the Tang Dynasty, and Xinfan East Lake is one of them (the other is Jiangshouju in Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province). In the fifth year of Song Renzong Tiansheng (1027), when Wang Yi, the father of Wang Anshi, was appointed as the magistrate of Xinfan County, he also took the opening of East Lake and Tielian as auspicious things and specially wrote a long poem "Song of East Lake Ruilian" to commemorate it.
In my memory, the exquisite East Lake Park is fascinating. To commemorate the ancient sages, Li Huai Hall, Sanxian Hall and Sifei Temple were set up in a large area of Cooper and Zhennan Middle School, and the winding lotus pond water surrounded more than 20 pavilions. What fascinates me most is those couplets, which add a lot of homesickness to East Lake. I like the couplets of "Sanxiantang" best-
What is the fragrance, the fields in western Sichuan and the clear water in East Lake?
The former sages all left love, Tang Feng Cui Bai and Song Yong Honglian.
I walked with my teacher in Donghu Park, and somehow I felt a little disappointed. Think of the "little boy" when he climbed the wall of the old city in early spring to pick the "dog's pedicel bud" (a kind of wild vegetable with the value of clearing away heat and detoxifying), or his stubbornness when he sneaked into the bamboo forest to catch "bamboo shoot shell worm" and "Dingding cat" (dragonfly) in midsummer? Still remember jumping into the dry lotus pond in late autumn to dig the water chestnut lotus root, or miss the refreshing fragrance of snowball fights on wintersweet in the middle of winter? It seems so, but it seems not.
The teacher saw my "three souls lost two souls" and suggested taking a walk in the street. I have always respected teachers (but I won't re-teach, because of my inferiority). When I was about to leave the park, I suddenly turned around and was glad to see the door couplet with strong font. Lian Yue:
Enlighten civilization and borrow capital to feel.
Expand the historical sites and pay tribute to the sages.
The teacher told me that this couplet was written by Chen Hongzan, the new governor in 15. Selfishly, the county magistrate 80 years ago was a bookworm, although he was highly accomplished in calligraphy. Look at Hu Changqing, vice governor of Jiangxi Province. Although his position is much higher than that of Qipin county magistrate and his handwriting is not necessarily good, how much did Hu Changqing charge for the inscription on the signboard of the enterprise? Is it really like the radical word someone said-"the level of official position is inversely proportional to the level of writing"?
Just out of Donghu Park, my friend joked that I could help the criminal investigators solve the case, and my nose suddenly got excited, and my eyes immediately cooperated with my nose for all-round scanning. Oh, the wonderful smell of salt water wafts from the opposite side of the park! My action naturally escaped the teacher's eyes, and she showed a very understanding smile: "Come on, let's buy dried salted duck."
A salted duck shop located diagonally opposite East Lake Park, with unpretentious decoration, is not as flamboyant as other shops. Two rows of salted ducks are hung in clean glass windows, and their oily bodies can be seen from 10 meters away. I know, that's because the salted duck has been smoked. Western sichuan bazi people have loved bacon products for generations. After several smoky experiences, the version of salted duck was successfully upgraded. The original smell is replaced by the smoke smell produced by burning cypress branches, peanut shells and wood sawdust, which makes it taste better and has a longer shelf life. Some people even boldly speculate that the ancient Shu people have a long blood relationship with the cave people in Zhoukoudian. Although I think this statement is too far-fetched, I can't produce any evidence to refute it, so I have to "stand here for the record" and wait for the "delicious mouth" to reach a higher level of practice to verify it carefully.
I was about to appreciate the richness of salted duck again nearby, when my sight was suddenly attracted by the braised dishes in the corner of the glass window-silk-wrapped rabbits!
