Because the Chinese New Year is early this year, many places have started preparing New Year’s goods one after another. This is how Sister Fang from Lu'an, Anhui. She has bought good ingredients long ago and started making salty goods. Not only do she eat it herself, but she has to send it to her daughter and son-in-law far away in Guangdong. This is the first year her daughter has married in Guangdong, and it is also the first time the two have not celebrated the New Year together. So she has prepared a lot of hometown specialties, hoping that her daughter can eat and drink well in Guangdong and eat the familiar hometown flavor.
Lu'an is also called West Wan. It is a beautiful place. The tea here is very famous, but during the festivals, every household must make this salty product. Salty goods are cured meat. Since the 1980s, people's lives have become better and better. Every household will buy chicken, duck, geese, pork, fish and meat before the New Year. After marinating, they will hang it at the door to wait to entertain guests. The more salty goods the family hangs, the better the conditions of their family, and it has become a good memory for many people.
Prised salty goods are a must-have food for Anhui people, especially some elderly people, before the New Year. Although they can eat fresh meat at any time now, they still have a special liking for salty goods. Many people think that it is because they suffered hardships when they were young, so they always think about preparing for the future. In fact, there is another reason, that is, salty goods are really delicious.
The winter morning is very cold, and many people get up and sniff don’t want to wake up. They smell the fragrance from the kitchen. It is the salty product that my parents have steamed. Whether it is salty fish or bacon, they will be served after steaming, and use chopsticks or directly tore it into small pieces with their hands, and pair it with white porridge that is stewed soft, glutinous and fragrant. The taste is really unforgettable. Chewing the meat in your mouth, it is so delicious that it is salty and moderate, and it is full of fragrance. It instantly makes you feel energetic. A bite of white porridge can remove fatigue and allow you to open your taste buds. It is really fresh and beautiful, and it makes people feel endless aftertaste.
Miss Fang has hung a lot of fresh life in her yard. In addition to chickens, ducks and fish, the most attractive thing is this white goose. This is a specialty of Dabie Mountains in Lu'an City. It is called Anhui West White Goose . It is an excellent goose with delicate and delicious meat. It has been popular for more than 400 years. Because of its good meat, this kind of goose is not cheap. One is about 200-300 yuan, and it is delicious when braised or stewed with soup. After marinating and adding flavor, take advantage of the good weather to dry it. It will be fine if the surface is oily and waxy red.
When you want to eat, cut it into slices and steam it at any time. It is salty and fragrant and delicious, and it is very delicious. Sister Fang was not in good condition when she was young. She once tried to use a piece of goose bone to put three bowls of dry rice, lick the bone and eat a bite of rice, which was a unique taste. There are many ways to make salty goods. For example, soak them in warm water to remove some salty flavor, then spread ginger slices at the bottom of the bowl, then cut the duck or goose into pieces, piece them on the ginger slices, pour some cooking wine and steam them. If you have a strong taste, you can add a little chili sauce, sprinkle some chopped green onion, and steam over high heat for 40 minutes.
Every time I eat it, I pick up a few pieces of meat on a small plate and steam it, and eat it with steamed buns and white porridge. It was so satisfying. Unfortunately, Sister Fang’s son-in-law felt that it was too salty to be bad for her health and could not put her mouth down, so she turned her head and gave it to the aunt next door.
