When I first arrived at Wugang, my first impression was that the streets were spacious and clean. With green trees and red flowers, green mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery, it is a city hidden in green, which is very suitable for human habitation. Snacks scattered in the streets and lanes make people linger, and the feeling of standing on the tip of the tongue persists for a long time ... What I can't forget most is the steaming and delicious bowl of tofu. Next time you go to Wugang, you must eat two more bowls.
-a netizen's diary.
I am a native of Xinjiang, and I miss my hometown for a long time.
In the memory of my young children, Xinjiang food is the most wonderful food in the world, and the wonderful feeling of stimulating the taste has broken my heart. For all kinds of pasta, there are: grabbing slices, firecrackers, two knots, pulling strips, fried noodles, mixed noodles and so on. , there are dozens; Mutton pilaf, stewed mutton and roasted whole sheep are world-famous. At present, the most popular saute spicy chicken in Xinjiang has a long aftertaste and is unforgettable.
Before I transferred back to work in Wugang, to be honest, I was more exclusive to Henan diet. In my impression, Henan's diet is full of soup, confused, smeared, confusing and worrying.
With the passage of time, I have a new understanding of the local diet. Those nutritious ready-to-eat snacks have gradually been accepted by me and become my favorite. See what kinds of snacks you can choose: Hu spicy soup, foam paste, sweet bean curd, salty bean curd, oil tea and soybean milk in the morning; At noon, it's hot tofu, steamed bread, lazy beans and vermicelli. Hot tofu is a unique snack in Wugang. These foods, for people like me who are getting older and older, are not only nutritious, but also conducive to gastrointestinal digestion.
I have a good friend who has a soft spot for hot tofu in my hometown. Every time I come back from Zhengzhou, I'm in no hurry to go home. I first fell in love with a hot tofu stand, ate two bowls of delicious food, and then patted my stomach. When I can't eat, I'm willing to walk home, so lunch is naturally free.
I live in a downtown area. Turn right more than 30 meters downstairs and you will arrive at Ganxiu Street. After several changes, the streets here have now become food streets. In this street, there are dozens of restaurants with different flavors, large and small. Every meal time, the restaurant is crowded and the business is booming. Family or friends get together on holidays. If you don't make an appointment in advance, you have to arrange for dinner at home.
Whenever friends visit or get together with fellow villagers, I will arrange a banquet in a famous hotel. First, the hotel has elegant environment, elegant style, thoughtful service and exquisite food; Second, there is a "model" who can earn enough face for himself and make guests sit up and take notice of himself. At this time, if you are in Sipo, you can choose "Wugang Hotel" or "Zhao Si Cuisine"; If you are in Zhu Lan, it is more appropriate to arrange in Mine Hotel, Zhongtai Business Hotel, Longsheng Hotel and Anji Cuisine. And each hotel has its own service characteristics, and the food also has its own characteristics. "Zhao Si cuisine" roast pork noodles, fragrant but not greasy, soft and rotten, is a must for regular customers. The smoked duck of "Anji Cuisine" has a firm meat, which gives off a faint smoky smell and a long aftertaste. In addition, the steamed buns of Sophora japonica in Zhongtai Business Hotel, the Beijing Roast Duck in Longsheng Hotel and the brine platter in Mine Hotel all have their own characteristics and unique flavors, which are ideal taste places to satisfy foodies to the greatest extent.
If only a few colleagues and friends get together, it is most appropriate to choose a night market stall. One summer night, with a case of beer and a bottle of white wine, everyone sat down, several dishes were served, and the feast began. Located in Zhu Lan Geological Team, the night market is brightly lit and full of people, which is an excellent place for office workers to get together and relax after work. Here, I dare to say what I dare not say during the day, and my long-suppressed mood has been released to the greatest extent. The barbecue of "Dai Xiao Barbecue" is the most attractive, which attracts people from all over the world to taste it. After eating mutton kebabs, have a grilled catfish, push a cup for a change, and drink a bowl of handmade noodles with wild vegetables or peanut noodles. That kind of comfort and relief will stay in your heart and make people linger for a long time.
The south bank of Longquan Lake, shaded by green trees, is quiet and charming. There are many small farmhouses with different styles, which are comfortable and relaxing. This is a beautiful place for friends and relatives to get together and entertain friends. Here, you can sit indoors, or you can set a table in the round pavilion by the lake and watch the charming night view of Longquan Lake quietly. Soon, delicacies and delicacies were served one after another. There is a faint fragrance between breaths, which strongly stimulates your stomach and makes you want to stop. Braised carp, scrambled eggs with earthworms, stewed mountain delicacies with native chicken, fried dragon malt with vegetables, fried rabbits and so on. It's really appetizing and mouth watering. At this time, have a few more drinks and you will feel like a fairy in a trance.
If you are visiting from your hometown or friends, you will usually have a casual meal in the city at noon, so you will not choose to have dinner in the city. During the day, accompany them to patrol the beautiful Longquan Lake, the towering Erlang Mountain, the unique lampstand and the charming Xianglong Valley. When the scenery in Wugang is almost the same, they are tired. At this time, the sun has gradually set, and the afterglow of the sunset is as charming as gold. So, we drove all the way to Jin Hui to the distant mountains and found a small shop to eat in the mountains.
After going out of the city for a while, the car was sandwiched between green valleys. From time to time came the beautiful call of birds returning to their nests. After 40 minutes, the car stopped in front of a mountain shop. The enthusiastic host let us into the private room.
After choosing the ingredients for dinner according to the host's instructions and arrangements, we sat at the table, drinking the unique tea in the mountains and quietly waiting for the delicious food to be served. First, a few cold dishes were served. We picked up our glasses and gulped them down, and everyone immediately wolfed them down. After a while, we ordered pot chicken, braised rabbit meat and so on. Because there is no magnifying material when cooking, it is just some salt and local spices, and the ingredients retain their own taste to the maximum extent. More importantly, because the native rabbits caught in the mountains are selected, the meat feels tight and chewy after eating, and the intimacy left between the lips and teeth will linger for a long time.
According to the host, we came at a bad time. If you are lucky, you can also eat wild boar, civet cats and other rare things. Of course, there won't be such luck this time, so I can only leave my thoughts for next time.
There are many flavors of food in Wugang, so I won't describe them one by one. For example, the pot fish stove in Sipo, the beef restaurant in Shangdian, the porridge shed in Tian Tian, and the fragrant hot pot all have their own characteristics, and they are still excellent places for us to relax and enjoy delicious food after work.
In today's extremely rich material life, having enough to eat has become a thing of the past. Eating fashion, taste and culture has become the unremitting pursuit of a happy life by contemporary people, and it is also the eternal profound connotation of Chinese food culture.
China's food culture has a long history and is profound. Local food also has its own unique humanistic characteristics, obvious regional characteristics, and spiritual connotation that is difficult to copy, so it is difficult to distinguish. Inclusiveness is the excellent quality of Chinese food culture, which has the all-encompassing tolerance and generosity of our nation, leading to the colorful and endless development of our national food culture.
Dear "foodie" friends and netizens, hurry up and search around Wugang. While enjoying the happy food, we also injected new cultural connotations into the local diet. While promoting the local food culture, it also adds luster to China's profound food culture, so that this ancient culture can be passed down in our relay and continue to shine in the new era.
Let's end with a passage from The Philosopher in the Kitchen:
"No matter ancient or modern, no matter what. The joy of the banquet is everywhere every day. It is a supplement to other forms of entertainment, but its vitality far exceeds other forms of entertainment. Without other forms of entertainment, she can comfort us; The fate of a country depends on what kind of food people eat. " -When vulgar personal behavior is associated with art, forms of entertainment and national destiny, food has a profound humanistic atmosphere and spirit.
