Where does Mi Bao fruit come from?
Local specialty snacks popular in Gannan, Jiangxi. The method is very simple: soak rice in cold water for one day and one night, then grind it into rice slurry, pour the rice slurry evenly into a round soup skin dustpan woven with bamboo sticks, when the rice slurry is thin enough to cover the surface of the dustpan, put it in a pot and steam it into soup skin with strong fire, then cut it into small pieces with bamboo sticks, tear it off from the dustpan, and add fried seasoning and meat stuffing. There is a small county town in Jiangxi province, and many restaurants have eye-catching signboards that read "special rice fruit" to attract diners from all walks of life. In the past, Hakka women in Shangyou, Jiangxi, everyone could make rice-wrapped fruit. What should be the standard to judge whether it is delicious or not? It is through the smell of the steamed stuffed bun that she makes to judge whether the woman denies her ability. The production technology of Mi Bao fruit is poor, the pulp is thick, the steamed soup is thick and the seasoning is poor. Rice pulp ground from well-made Mi Bao fruits is tender and should be steamed with bamboo slices. The steamed soup skin is as transparent as paper and has a moderate taste. The seasoning of Mi Bao fruits will change with the seasons. Spring is dominated by vegetables; Melons are the main crops in summer and autumn. Cabbage and carrots are the main crops in winter. Spices that can be used: leeks, green onions, garlic, etc. If you add fried lean meat, it will taste better. Historical Story Speaking of the origin of Baomiguo, there is another story here. According to the Records of Shangyou County, more than a month after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army led troops to attack Shangyou County, killing and injuring people in the city, but the Yuan army was furious. After the city was destroyed, 1300 people were killed in the city. At that time, a surviving Hakka daughter-in-law was looking for food after robbery. She was surprised to find a pot of rice soaked in water, wiped it hard and turned it into an oar. It is impossible to cook in the old way. How to cook? At that time, on the back of the county seat, there were towering old trees, dried bamboos everywhere and sufficient firewood. She used her brain, took a dustpan originally used to dry rice, poured it thoroughly with rice paddles, lit it, steamed it, wrapped it in pickles and radish, and it tasted delicious. Hakka daughter-in-law also invited villagers in the neighborhood to eat, saying that it was delicious, and everyone said that she was ingenious. Ask her what she used to steam with rice paddles. At that time, she didn't say it directly, but gestured with her hand and said, "Yuan (Yuan) is gone!" Aroused a burst of happy laughter, and echoed and said, "Yuan is dead! Yuan! " In that dynasty, if you say something wrong, you will be beheaded. Because the Yuan Dynasty ruled the Han people very hard, ten families used a kitchen knife. What's more, the little girl said in public, "Why not give her some color?" The government took this woman for questioning, and the clever daughter-in-law took out a dustpan to explain the statement of "round chopsticks". The government had no choice but to let her go. Not many people know the story that Hakka daughter-in-law is not afraid of rape, but since then, the Hakka dish Baomiguo in Shangyou County, Jiangxi Province has spread.
