My mother-in-law’s natal family is in Shaoxing . Last year I went to Shaoxing with my brother-in-law to celebrate the birthday of an elder there. As a Jiangxi native, I was really shocked by the table full of seafood, but as a Jiangxi native, I was also fascinated by the famous Shaoxing dish, stinky amaranth stems. shocked.
Soft tofu stewed with stinky amaranth stems
I have to call this elder uncle. He is my mother-in-law’s brother. He originally fled to Jiangxi with his mother-in-law. After liberation, the country implemented the policy and he took the whole family back to Zhejiang. Because my mother-in-law married in Jiangxi Dexing stayed in Jiangxi.
The birthday banquet was held at a local hotel called Wupeng Chuan . I really enjoyed the seafood dishes. To be honest, a table of seafood in Jiangxi would probably cost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. According to relatives in Shaoxing, a table costs 1,800 yuan, not including drinks. I savored the seafood delicacies with great pleasure, thinking that this trip was not in vain.
Just when I was eating in full swing, I suddenly smelled a smell coming from far away. When I looked up and looked around in confusion, I saw a line of waiters bringing a dish and placing it on each banquet table. At this time, I could only hear the local guests muttering happily. Finally, the stewed tofu with stinky amaranth stalks came.
is the same as the previous dish. When the new dish is served, it is first placed in front of 's uncle and I. We are distinguished guests from afar! My uncle used to come here often. He knew what kind of dish this was, and naturally he looked calm. I had never seen it before. When he smelled the stinky smell, of course he looked confused.
My uncle pointed at the stewed tofu with stinky amaranth stems with his chopsticks and said, "Xiaochi, come and try Ala Shaoxing specialties. This dish is not available in Jiangxi."
Although the smell was overwhelming, it couldn't stop the table full of people's desire to spin the turntable. I took one and held my breath while I took a small bite in my mouth. I quickly said, "It's delicious. Let's all come together." .
When I finished speaking and resumed breathing, the sour smell flowed down my nose and straight to my forehead. I almost fainted. When the turntable turned around, I gently turned the turntable so that a plate of crabs faced me.
A person is nourished by the soil and water, and every kind of food is gradually formed to meet the needs of local people's life and health. I originally had rhinitis , but after smoking a smelly amaranth stem that day, my nose was broken for less than half a month. Never blocked. It’s a blessing in disguise!
