Flavor specialty
Tea grinding: Tea grinding has the effects of promoting fluid production, quenching thirst, warming stomach, refreshing, expelling wind and removing dampness. In historical legend, Huang Tu store is the birthplace of tea smashing. 1800 years ago, it was popular to smash tea here. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Fu Bo General Ma Yuan led an army to attack Wu Ximan in Wuling from Longyang via Huangtudian, the soldiers in the army were infected with miasma, and many soldiers died within a few days. Just as Ma Yuan was anxious, an old man with blond hair called Ma Yuan and said, Why not smash tea to solve it? Ma Yuan invited a local tea smashing expert, who made a lot of tea smashing that day. The soldiers shared it, slept with their heads covered, and recovered at dawn.
Coincidentally, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang led the troops to pursue the remnants of Chen Youliang, and when he passed the Huangtudian, the ranks in the army also suffered from the same disease. Zhu Yuanzhang visited many good doctors and folk remedies. A woman surnamed Ma near Jinxiashan told Zhu Yuanzhang: I heard that the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty marched here, and this disease is also very popular in the military. Just drink tea. General, why don't you try? Zhu Yuanzhang invited a woman named Ma as a teacher to teach the Huotoujun to make tea according to law. After drinking it while it was hot, the foot soldiers slept through the night. The next day, the foot soldiers relaxed and all the symptoms disappeared. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and repeatedly said: God tea, God tea. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, and specially took a woman named Ma to the palace, and made her a court tea maker, specializing in making tea.
Compared with the previous floor, the traditional Huangtu shop has more exquisite materials, finer production and richer content. There are many kinds of tea, and there are more than 20 courses in a table of rich tea. In recent years, due to the improvement of people's living standards, in addition to traditional dishes (sweet potato chips, steamed rice balls, steamed dumplings, rice skin and so on. ), launched a variety of barbecue, stew, stir-fried vegetarian dishes to attract diners.
Sweet potato slices: slice the sweet potato, steam it, and then gently spread it on a drying mat to dry. Before eating, potato chips are mostly fried with sand or salt, and the potato chips are separated after the temperature of sand or salt rises. The potato chips are sealed after cooling to prevent water absorption from softening. Potato chips are fragrant, crisp and sweet. Others peel the sweet potato first, then steam the whole tree, crush it with a spatula, mash it evenly, and then smooth the dried sweet potato paste on a thin cloth to make it thin. Dry and separate from the thin cloth, then slice and dry. The method of cooking before eating has also changed, frying. Such potato chips are crisp and fresh, fragrant and sweet.
Yin rice bubble: The method of making Yin rice bubble is very simple. After soaking glutinous rice for one day, it can be washed and dried, steamed in a steamer and dried. In the process of drying in the sun, if it is not bonded, it will become one by one. Sealed for use. There are two ways to cook rice twice before eating: one is to stir-fry the soaked rice with sand and edible salt, and then cook the soaked rice until the temperature of the sand or edible salt rises. Master the heat, take out the pot in time, and sift out the sand and salt. Another method is frying. The fried glutinous rice bubbles are bigger and tastes much better. Silver rice bubble is one of the traditional tea making methods. Of course, you can also brew with boiling water for dinner, and sugar is better when brewing.
Xunzi: Xunzi is made of glutinous rice. Soak glutinous rice for 1-2 days, wash and dry, and steam in a steamer. Make strips with a diameter of about 10 cm from narrow strips. Put it on a wooden board or shallow flat-bottomed basin and rub a little oil on the bottom. Put 1 two pieces of rice into the basket, and smooth the rice with hands and chopsticks. When cloudy rice is driven to adhere closely to each other, it is made into prickly heat. Dry for later use. Fried before eating, prickly heat is crispy, nutritious and easy to digest.
Rice skin: Rice skin is not the skin of rice, but a kind of flavor food made of indica rice. The method is as follows. Soak the rice for a day or two, wash it and grind it. According to needs, salt, monosodium glutamate or white sugar can be added to the rice slurry to make various flavors of rice skin. In a shallow rectangular flat-bottomed basin with a length of about 30 cm and a width of about 20 cm, pour a proper amount of dilute rice slurry into the basin to flatten it, and then steam it in a boiling pot. It can be cut into small pieces and dried when it is semi-dry, or it can be dried flat. Fried before eating, soaked in rice skin, crispy and delicious.
Crispy rice cake: Crispy rice cake is a layer of rice that burns yellow at the bottom of the pot when cooking. However, there is a little pressure to make what we call a pot. Cook slowly with low heat before cooking, and then wait for a while to make the pot as thick and sticky as possible. Be careful not to break the pot when serving rice. After eating, sprinkle a little salt evenly on the pot and cover it. After a while, the pot will naturally leave the pot body and the whole pot can be dried in the sun. Deep-fried before eating, crispy.

Sun drying to 70% to 80% can be harvested. Silver beans and silver beans are also traditional tea smashing and making. Chew slowly, taste, and have a long aftertaste when eating.
Rice cakes, Ciba: Rice cakes are made of glutinous rice and indica rice. Soak, grind, drain and steam the rice in a steamer. Note that rice cakes made of half-cooked rice paste must be preserved for a long time, and they are very heavy when cooked. It's hard to pound rice cakes, and it's not good to put them evenly under the pestle. Generally, two people each take a pestle, and the closer they get to the back, the stronger the adhesion of cooked glutinous rice paste. In the future, you will pestle me and I will pestle you. Then knead the blank by hand, and then put it into Baba mark to press and shape. Ciba is made of pure glutinous rice. After the soaked rice is steamed, use a pestle until you can't see the shape of the rice grains, which is as delicious as the rice cake made of rice paste. Then, as needed, make it into a gas bar in the basket. In the past, the new son-in-law paid a New Year call to her parents-in-law, and Ciba was one of the necessary gifts.
