Shaoxing cuisine is divided into three series: pickled vegetables, stinky vegetables and moldy vegetables. Listen to me.
Shaoxing people seem to have a special liking for the word "mold", such as dried mushrooms, thousand mold slices, moldy edamame, moldy tofu and so on. Mushrooms are authentic traditional dishes in Shaoxing, and mushrooms in Zhejiang are the most authentic in Shaoxing. Soak dry and moldy vegetables in water, then drain, stew and ferment. When you want to eat, put the dried mushrooms in a bowl, put a few pieces of Jinhua ham or pork belly on the surface, a few pieces of bamboo shoots, a few drops of daughter red (yellow wine), and steam them thoroughly in a pot. When you put a chopstick on it, you can feel the taste of meat and the sweetness of bamboo shoots penetrate into the dried vegetables. It tastes delicious, fat but not greasy, and it is delicious for the next meal. Dry and moldy dishes must be eaten while they are hot, with rice or steamed bread, which is very attractive and can really make people eat more than half a bowl of rice.
Pickles and pickles, Shaoxing likes to make Lai vegetables by pickling. Fish, chickens and ducks, all kinds of internal organs, or sauces or pickles, are blown in the outdoor sun and wind until the water is dry. Pickled products are hung on the edge of the twelfth lunar month, in the streets and alleys, in front of every household, under every porch, and on telephone poles, adding a new year atmosphere to the water town. Dried fish in sauce, steaming after cooking, fragrant and delicious. Dried fish in sauce is not as hard as chicken and duck in sauce, and it is easy to plug teeth. After heating, it is soft and delicious, chewed carefully and has a unique taste.
Stinky vegetables include stinky wax gourd, sweet potato stalks and stinky dried tofu. Arriving at the entrance of Xianheng Hotel, the tangy smell is the smell of fried stinky tofu. Stinky tofu has a terrible nose, but as long as you have the courage to eat the first piece, you will find it crisp, Marie Laure Gigon, smelly and charming, and it is even more attractive to put on hot sauce and sweet sauce, and you have an indissoluble bond with it ever since. The smell of fried stinky tofu often wafts from the depths of Shaoxing's streets, so many people are willing to stand on the street and eat fried stinky tofu with a nose-flushing smell.
Shaoxing wine is a low-alcohol wine brewed by pure grain, with moderate sugar and acid and rich nutrition. Moderate drinking can promote fluid production and blood circulation, promote metabolism, refresh the mind, stimulate appetite and relieve fatigue. Drinking method of yellow rice wine: The drinking method of Shaoxing wine is quite particular. In midsummer, add some ice cubes to the glass, inject a little yellow wine, and finally dilute it with water. Some people can also put a slice of lemon in the cup, which is called a cold drink. Warm drink in winter, put the wine container in hot water to heat it, or heat it from the fire. Warm drinking is characterized by rich aroma and soft taste. But the heating time should not be too long, otherwise the alcohol will volatilize, but it will be tasteless. When heated, the wine is rich in color and fragrance, and it warms the stomach and promotes blood circulation after drinking, which is very refreshing.
Good match with wine: When drinking, you can enjoy the unique flavor of yellow rice wine through different dishes. Take Shaoxing wine as an example: dry red wine should be accompanied by cold dishes such as vegetables and jellyfish; Semi-dry rice wine is suitable for meat and hairy crabs; Semi-sweet wine, suitable for chickens and ducks;
Taitiaojiu is a patented yellow rice wine registered by Shaoxing Xianheng Hotel. After more than eight years of aging and storage, blended with the best method, the wine is pure and mellow, with rich aroma and endless aftertaste. 5 kg jar is too carved 190~288 yuan.
We went to Xianheng Hotel FB this time because the company leaders came to inspect and the customers had a dinner. We still insisted on local dishes, and ordered braised pork with dried mushrooms, 1,000 pieces of dried mushrooms, dried mushrooms, dried tofu, canned drunk chicken, stinky tofu pole, steamed fish, fried dried stinky tofu, boiled shrimp, ham and corn soup, etc. , 1 kg eight-year-old carving, and pickled rice (. Understand the essence of Shaoxing food culture.
The degree of yellow rice wine is not high (1 1~ 15), but it has enough stamina. Don't drink too much and you'll be unconscious.

At noon alone, a dozen people took turns eating. 2 stone (150 kg) of rice is cooked, and about 2000 customers are received. This shop specializes in vinegar fish, Shao's small buttons and single rot, which has become a famous dish in Shaoxing and has been passed down to this day.
During Guangxu period (1875 ~ 1908), Wangjianglou steamed bread shop was opened at the entrance of Xinhe in the city. The "Shoukou Steamed Bread" made from it is thin, smooth, tough and fragrant.

In the early 1950s, there were 772 restaurants in the whole area. Due to people's low living standards, frugality and luxury, the catering industry is light, with a turnover of more than 90,000 yuan, and most of them can only operate at breakeven.
Shaoxing catering company was established 1956, and catering companies were established in various counties, and the private catering industry was transformed into socialism.
