My hometown is in Jinhua, which has beautiful scenery and many places of interest. The hard-working and intelligent people of Jinhua have created many local specialties, such as Jinhua ham, bergamot, shortbread... My favorite is Jinhua ham.

Jinhua ham is famous both at home and abroad. I heard from my father that Jinhua ham was first produced in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zongze, the anti-golden hero who was born in Yiwu County, Wuzhou, was the "grandfather" of the ham industry. When he returned to his hometown from the anti-golden front, he often bought some pork and asked the villagers to marinate it, and took it out as a marching meal, and at the same time gave it to relatives, friends and his subordinates. This kind of marinated pork is as red as fire and delicious. The soldiers were full of praise after eating it, and asked Zongze what kind of meat it was called. Zongze replied: This is called "hometown meat". Zongze also selected some particularly good "hometown meat" to present to the emperor. When Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty saw the bright red color of pork, he named it "ham".

Jinhua ham has bright yellow skin, a shape like a pipa, ruddy flesh, rich aroma, rich nutrition, and delicious taste. It is famous for its "four wonders" of color, aroma, taste, and shape, and is well-known internationally. enjoys a reputation. Jinhua ham is not only delicious, but it can also cure diseases. In daily life, patients regain their vitality, the elderly live longer, and women maintain their health after childbirth. Eating some ham can not only stimulate appetite and increase taste, but also nourish and improve health. It is really wonderful to kill two birds with one stone.

The production process of Jinhua ham is very complicated. It uses the hind legs of "two-headed black" pigs produced in Jinhua. It takes about ten months to go through processes such as salting, shaping, turning the legs, washing and drying. Finish.

My dad loves ham the most! Mom cut the ham into thin pieces and stir-fried it with chili. It tasted delicious. Dad said: "I salivate when I smell the aroma." Even though I don't like meat, I still like to eat delicious ham.

Friends, if you come to Jinhua, don’t forget to try the delicious ham! Of course, when you go home, be sure to bring some for your relatives and friends!
