No matter how long you leave your hometown, you probably haven't forgotten two kinds of hometown dishes-cereal and snails. Although insects are small, their mouths are full of meat, and they are rich in protein. And the taste is unique, fragrant and delicious, tender and delicious, and it is really a good dish to drink and eat. It also has the effects of nourishing yin, strengthening spleen, warming body and removing dampness. Insects are produced in the Pearl River Delta, and the southern reclamation areas of Xinhui and Taishan counties have the largest output. Insects only appear a few times a year, usually in the case of red clouds and drizzle and abnormal weather changes, and most of them start at each head (the peak of high tide on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar). Once they appear, they are dense and float on the surface of the river. At this time, people fishing for weeds are really inexhaustible. In an hour or so, they can get 200 or 300 kilograms by meeting or cage, and more than 10 kilograms by bucket. The high tide, weeds gradually disappeared without a trace, so we had to look at the river and sigh! People who have experience in catching grasshoppers will gain a lot if they have a good grasp of the time and place where grasshoppers appear and good fishing gear and Aauto Quicker. Grasshoppers live in the topsoil of paddy field at the junction of fresh water in Yuxian county and feed on rotten roots. It is shaped like a small centipede, about thirty or forty centimeters long. It is often said that centipedes have the most feet, but there are more insects and feet than centipedes. More interestingly, this insect can alternate red, yellow, green, blue and purple at any time, which is very vivid. Cook until it is pure egg yellow. Steam, stir-fry, pot, stew worms, anything is suitable. Steam the worms with ginger, onion, oil and salt, and steam them in a rice cooker. Stir-fried dishes and pot roast should be accompanied by pork brisket, vermicelli and other ingredients, but they are much more delicious than steamed ones. Is to stew the worms and dry them with charcoal kang, which is sweet and fragrant. And salty insects. Every year, every household sells dozens of kilograms, more than 100 kilograms, with salt. When eating, add some oil, onion and ginger to steam.
Therefore, in the past, eating worms, especially salted worms, was considered a bad dish. Snails taste delicious, too In the past, there were many snails in the paddy field, and it took half a day to pick them up and return home with a full load. When I came back, I knocked off the tail of the snail, fried it with garlic, lobster sauce and perilla, and invited some old friends to sit around, drinking wine and snails and laughing. This is really a pleasure. Insects and snails are too difficult to appreciate. Hotels don't have these two dishes to entertain guests, only when the poor entertain relatives and friends. The host said apologetically, "There is no food, only insects. Sorry. " Today, the world has changed. Maybe it's not so easy to find insects and snails. Things are rare and expensive. Now all the hotels have these two kinds of dishes, and the prices are not cheap. What used to be a poor man's dish is now a banquet for guests.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Seto was the staple food in northern Enping County. Seto powder is easier to eat than to make. From material selection to production, the process is quite complicated, and it must be made by several families. First, choose the quality of October rice, and dry the rice noodles for later use. When making, the water is boiled, the rice flour is cooked (the ratio of rice flour to water varies with the quality of flour, and it is generally appropriate to make the rice flour moist), mixed with the raw flour, kneaded evenly to form a columnar dough, and kneaded with fingers. The qualified vermicelli is powder-free, soft and waxy, cool and smooth. The style is different, the taste is hard and mushy, and the unique flavor of Seto powder is lost.
Therefore, rubbing powder is the key process. After the water boils, put the powder trough on the pot, put benches at both ends, put the kneaded powder dough into the slot hole, plug it with a cork, then put one end of the wooden stick into the powder trough and the extrusion hole, and several people at the other end push it down hard, so that the vermicelli will be drilled out of the small hole at the bottom of the slot hole and lowered into the pot. After cooking, take it out, rinse it with cold water and take it out. When you eat, you can use boiling water to make soup, and when you mix it with soup, it becomes a unique glutinous rice flour. If you mix it with sugar to make wine, it will have another taste. Recently, someone used the old cylinder of diesel engine to refit the powder tank, and tightened the piston. Only one person was used to operate it, which was more labor-saving than the old powder tank. Everyone in the world wants to eat rice noodles, instead of following the crowd as before.
Zhenhao Clay Chicken Zhu Hao and Zhumao Village in Shuikou Town, Kaizeng County have been making clay chicken toys for more than 200 years. Every Lunar New Year, vendors in Heshan, Taishan, Enping, Xinhui and other places will drive to purchase native chickens for new year sales. Mud chicken is simple in appearance and cheap, and is deeply loved by people. New Year's Day is Chicken Day, and a large number of mud chickens are on the market. For a time, mud chickens crowed everywhere, which really had the interest of "crowing all over the world" and brought people joy and joy. In Zhenhao and Zhumao villages, there is a legend that a rich man hired a long-term worker and was an orphan. The orphan keeps a rooster, and people and chickens are inseparable. Once, the orphan accidentally mixed two halves of black beans and soybeans, and the rich man asked him to pick them up in the morning. When the rooster crowed, all the chickens in the village gathered, and the orphan was very worried. The cock picks black beans and the hen picks soybeans. In less than an hour, the orphans picked them. On another occasion, a group of robbers plotted to rob a village, sent bandits disguised as chickens to sneak into the village as internal guards, and stipulated that the crow at midnight was a signal, and the attack was internal. Unexpectedly, just after this, the "chicken picker" hiding in the rich man's backyard alarmed the rooster, and the rooster crowed for a long time. In an instant, the rooster announced the dawn of the village. The "chicken chooses the guy" quickly strangled the rooster and lit the haystack.
When orphans heard each other's cocks crowing, they shouted to catch thieves. It was already late at night, and people didn't sleep. They heard each other's shouts and rushed to catch the "election chicken guy" as voices. When the bandits outside the village heard the commotion and knew that the plot was exposed, they hurried away. Later, the "chicken guy" confessed the truth, and the villagers were amazed and buried the rooster. The orphan rubbed mud into the rooster to mourn. When the villagers saw it, they also picked up clay chickens to win each other and passed them down from generation to generation. After several improvements, they have become more and more complicated. Push with your hands, giggle, blow with your mouth and crow. When it spread to other places, everyone loved it, and businessmen rushed to collect, sell and order it, so making local chicken gradually became the traditional sideline of the two villages. Make mud chicken, dig mud in spring, pound it with a mallet, put it into an iron mold to make a chicken head and a chicken tail, and dry it for later use.
There is a transverse membrane on the chicken's head, and there is a small hole in the transverse membrane, which is reserved for sentry duty. Make a bamboo whistle in your spare time, cut the small hedge bamboo into a few minutes, cut one end obliquely, insert a small leaf and blow it. In winter, the bamboo whistle is inserted into the cross mold of the chicken head, and then the chicken head and the chicken tail are connected with kraft paper, colored and oiled to obtain the finished product. There is a small hole in the front of the mud chicken head and a small hole on the left side of the tail. Blowing the tail hole with the mouth, the mud chicken can sing, and the shape and sound of singing are different from those of the real chicken. Hold down the tail hole with the thumb of your right hand and shake it frequently, which will make the hens giggle when they lay eggs and nest. The craftsmanship is amazing. No wonder overseas Chinese and compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao also like to take a few out as gifts for relatives and friends in their hometown.
