Jianghu cuisine is the first food published in food stalls and small restaurants. Because of its characteristics and flavor, it can satisfy the consumption psychology of urban residents. Low price, suitable for the needs of mass consumers. The wind is so fast that many high-end hotels have put down the rivers and lakes in shelf tube. Jianghu food can be placed in an elegant hall. In a sense, adapting to the working class is the strategic transformation of the catering industry and the return of the catering market to the public.
The biggest characteristics of Jianghu cuisine are "earthy", "coarse" and "miscellaneous".
"Earth" means strong local flavor. Some rivers and lakes started from roadside shops and fishermen's villages, and delicious people found them by accident. After dinner, they are "sacred". Everyone swarmed in, but they were eager for a "new taste".
"Rough" refers to the unrestrained temperament of Jianghu. In cooking, there are many peppers, tablespoons of peppers and squid in red oil soup. Informal forms of earthen stoves include large bowls, large plates, meat and large bowls of soup. Diners are bold, drink more saliva, gulp down meat, eat spicy food, eat cold and fresh food, for nothing but excitement and food.
"Miscellaneous" refers to the "miscellaneous" practices of Jianghu dishes, and the cooking techniques are strange: compound seasoning, northern cooking, southern cooking, western cooking and western cooking. The cooked food will make people feel deja vu, and they are not sure about the quantity.
Private cuisine refers to the "buying and selling" of small restaurants in residential buildings or office buildings. Private kitchens usually have no store signs, fixed menus and full-time waiters, but the cooking skills of these dishes are usually ancestral, with unique flavor and limited supply, which can't be eaten in market restaurants. It is said that this kind of restaurant originated from deep houses and ancient houses, and its location is relatively remote, with its own characteristics and relatively low-key.
From the environment to the service, the private atmosphere of the private kitchen satisfies the warmth of the family and makes people enjoy the food in the family atmosphere. Private cuisine is a cultural heritage. In Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Beijing, private kitchens are very popular because they are the birthplace of several Chinese dishes. As the name implies, Jianghu dishes have a Jianghu flavor. This is not a single style. Many times, this is not because of exquisite diet, but because of free and relaxed diet. As the saying goes, private kitchens make people feel unique and taste more in line with the minority.
