As people's living standards continue to improve, everyone's requirements for food are getting higher and higher. Eating is no longer just to fill their stomachs. More people are beginning to care about the dual taste and spiritual enjoyment it brings. Therefore, whether it is a luxurious meal in a hotel or a cheap snack on the street, that is, No matter how simple the ingredients are, as long as they are carefully cooked by people and have their own unique taste and flavor, and are loved by diners, they can be called delicacies. Today I will share with you a snack like this. My brother sells "rich" snacks on the street. 200 kilograms of meat produces 30 kilograms of finished product. The stall is closed at noon every day!
This is a deli with a market atmosphere on the streets of Guizhou. The owners are a pair of brothers. They run this small shop with their wives. The specialty snack of Guizhou, " crisp whistle ", is the flagship product of their store. In layman's terms, "crispy whistle" is Lard dregs, however, are completely different from the lard dregs we usually eat. According to the boss, there are several types of crispy whistles in the local area. There are crispy whistles that use large pieces of fat and then squeeze out the oil. There are also pork belly whistles that are stewed with fat and lean pork belly. What’s more, there are fine whistles that are cooked with a whole piece of lean meat. Depending on the raw materials, the texture and taste of crispy whistles are completely different.
The brothers make crispy pork belly with alternating fat and thin. There is a big pot in their shop, and a basket on the side is full of pre-cut pork belly. According to them, the pork belly needs to be marinated with a secret marinade overnight before frying, so as to ensure that the pork belly is fully marinated and the flavor is crispy and delicious. Every day at dawn, the brothers would pour the prepared pork belly into a large pot, add half a pot of lard and simmer slowly. During the cooking process, the brothers would take turns flipping the pork belly with a spatula so that the pork belly in the pot would be heated evenly and fried anyway. When the pork belly in the pot is fried until it is completely golden, it can be fished out with a bamboo basket, drained of excess oil, and sold in the front.
Although the brothers’ store is not big, it is deeply loved by nearby diners. Every day at dawn, the stall is lined with diners who come to buy. The crispy whistles cost 100 yuan a pound and are sold out soon after they come out of the pot. In this way, the brothers are responsible for frying the crispy whistles in the back, and their respective wives are in charge of sales in the front. Since they have to get up and be busy every day after dark, and the business is booming, they will close the stall and go home to rest at noon every day. According to an old lady who often comes to buy crispy whistles, whether it is mixed noodles or boiled noodles, adding a spoonful of crispy whistles after it is out of the pot, after being heated, the crispy whistles will emit an attractive fragrance, which is the favorite of local old Guizhou people.
Dear friends, have you ever tasted the crispy whistle, a specialty of Guizhou?
