5. Dushan Bamboo Donkey Meat Sausage
Dushan Bamboo Donkey Meat Sausage is a specialty flavor product of Yongnian County, Handan. Dushan bamboo and donkey meat sausage has a history of nearly a hundred years. In the late Qing Dynasty, locust drought was a disaster in southern Hebei, leaving thousands of miles of bare land. People live in poverty, people flee famine.
Among the people fleeing famine, a chef named Du came to Lingmingguan. He was famous for his braised pork and enema. At that time, Lingguan was still a small town with a small population. There is a donkey meat shop on South Street that has been operating for many years. The shopkeeper's surname is Guo. He has accepted the bacon technology passed down from his ancestors since he was a child. After his processing of ingredients and heat, cooked donkey meat is famous in southern Hebei, and it is sold as much as it is cooked. Business is booming and sold all over the world. Especially the donkey intestines are fragrant and fermented, but not in the Dongjiekou Scenic Area. There is also a donkey meat shop, and the shopkeeper’s surname is Han. He cooked meat but couldn't sell it for ten and a half days. Although he tried his best on spices, processing, and temperature, few people were interested. He looked at the prosperity of the Guo family and his heart was filled with anger. He has no choice but to blame himself for living in poverty. Master Du Shanzhu wandered to Lingguan and passed by Guojiabao when he smelled the tangy aroma of meat. There was a group of customers rushing to buy before the case. Although Master Du has never tasted meat, he knows that the owner is a master of braised pork. After the customers left, he walked into the butcher shop, chatted with shopkeeper Guo for a few words, and asked the chef about the meat cutting situation. Guo said: This is a century-old soup and it doesn’t need any seasoning. Mangkhut knew that this was a message for the common people. How did shopkeeper Guo know this? Mangkhut couldn't ask any more questions. The lovers got up and walked out of the butcher shop. I went to the shop owner's shop in the Beidongjiekou Scenic Area. It smelled like meat, but there were no customers. The two chatted slowly, and Shopkeeper Han confided his bad luck, and then Guo's resentment was not traced. Mangkhut said, I can ask you to win the top spot in the meat industry. Shopkeeper Han asked about the origin of mangosteen and was overjoyed. He was originally a colleague, so he left Mangkhut to live at home, and was taught by Mangkhut to stuff donkey intestines. Mangosteen first washes the donkey meat, blow-dries it, cuts the cooked ribs into minced meat, then mixes the minced meat with the broth, adds peppercorns, fennel, amomum villosum, dried tangerine peel, cinnamon, cloves, minced ginger and other spices, and mixes with white pepper. Mix the oil, minced meat, and batter, then pour it into the sausage skins and cook for two hours. It's out of the pot, which is really unheard of. Like a crescent moon, as thick as a child's arm, saliva is produced in the mouth, and the fragrance floats ten miles away. This is Yongnian sausage from the early years of the Republic of China. Later, Mangkhut showed great kindness to the Meng family and left behind a recipe for braised pork enema when he died. Later generations thanked Mangkhut for making donkey meat sausages in the name of Mangkhut. Firstly, she thanked Mangosteen for leaving the recipe to benefit future generations, and secondly, she never forgot it as a souvenir.
