During the National Day holiday, I savored Huang Lei "Dieters in Smoke in Cooking" at home. Through each article's delicate description of Jiangnan food, it not only aroused the desire to taste these delicious foods, but also experienced the profoundness of Jiangnan's history and culture.
1. Rhinoceros and Xiangling
Rhinoceros are aquatic plants in the south of the Yangtze River. They usually grow in open ponds and bloom small purple flowers quietly and shyly. Pull out the vines of the water chestnuts out of the water chestnuts and you can find the fruits of the water chestnuts.
接萱接萱
接萱 1接萱 is an inconspicuous side dish in Jiangnan. It is rarely remembered today when the material is abundant. It is only in the twelfth lunar month that people get tired of eating big fish and meat, but they take out the pickled and sealed jar to adjust their appetite.
The author is based on the characteristics of Rhinoceros, and naturally remembers Xiangling in " Dream of Red Mansions ".
Xiangling's original name is Zhen Yinglian . He is the daughter of Zhen Shiyin . At the age of three, he was abducted by human traffickers because of improper care of his family slave Huo Qi (the disaster occurred). After raising it, he was sold to the rich man Feng Yuan (injustice) and Xue Pan , and a dispute arose. But Feng Xue and both wanted people and money. In the end, Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan and took Xiangling as his concubine.
Xiangling is the name given to her by Baochai . She is graceful and delicate, gentle and quiet, and is very talented and writes good poetry. Therefore, Xue Pan's wife Xia Jingui was very jealous of her and changed her name to Qiuling , and tried every means to torture her, causing her to be almost murdered. Xiangling eventually died of dysfunction.
Xiangling
in "Dream of Red Mansions" said with emotion: "Before being abducted, she was a lotus, the leader in the water, and the princess that other plants look up to. After being abducted, her family background and direction are forgotten, as if a rootless person has lost his foundation and is floating in the water. It is still beautiful, but pitiful, which makes people sigh."
2. Moldy Dried Vegetable and Sun Autumn
As soon as we mention moldy Dried Vegetable, we will involuntarily think of the delicious Moldy Dried Vegetable pork. The approach is not complicated, but it is extremely particular.

Soak the dried moldy vegetables and chop them on top of the pork belly to compact them. Put the soup ingredients prepared with cooking wine, dark soy sauce, honey, salt, etc., put the bowl in the steamer for an hour, and a delicious dried moldy vegetables and pork is ready.

mel dried vegetables are refined by people from Jiangnan in autumn.
The so-called autumn sun means drying mature crops and making them into special foods. Therefore, autumn is not always in autumn, but autumn is a season of harvest, with rich species and colorful colors. In autumn, drying crops, meat, vegetables, red and green, and all kinds of colors make the sunbath full of a joyful and festive atmosphere.

3. Yipin Pot and Reunion Table
Yipin Pot is a Huizhou dish, usually eaten during the New Year reunion.
Huizhou people have a tradition of doing business. Men leave home all year round and are wandering in a foreign land. A woman in Huizhou waits at home in the blue bricks and black tiles and misty rain. Since the day of separation, I left a promise to my husband, and at the same time reminded men not to forget themselves and return to their hometown as soon as possible.
Huizhou people’s reunion dinner
In the home of Huizhou people, you can see a round table divided into two in the deep courtyard. Half is placed next to the main hall and placed against the wall; the other half is used for daily meals and daily life. Only when the man comes back can he be combined into one. At that time, the table finally became a circle, which was the "reunion table". The family was able to reunite and have a "reunion dinner".
Yipinguo is the most traditional "reunion dinner".
Take a pot of moderate size and put the dishes on them layer by layer. The bottom of the cabbage means "a hundred wealth"; upwards are fans, and the fans are long and long, which means longevity; upwards are egg dumplings with quail eggs, which complement each other, which is gold and silver ingots, which means wealth and prosperity; upwards are day lily with braised chicken gizzard , pork belly, fat intestine ; top is chicken or braised pig head is high on top.
Finally, pour the chicken soup in the pot that has been boiled for a long time, and boil it until the bones are all melted into the soup, thick like milk. Then simmer the "Yipin Pot" on charcoal fire for nearly an hour before serving.
Yipinguo
From the production process of "Yipinguo", it can be seen that how many strong emotions and good wishes are condensed in it is really a concern for the family. Eating this dish is the highlight of Huizhou people's New Year. People who have been away for a long time have returned, and the whole family is reunited with a happy smile on their faces. The family hugged in "Yipinguo" and never separated again.
