Ride the wind and waves while walking.

Reading thousands of books and breaking Wan Li Road, not every kind of trip is called self-help tour.

A person's trip is in his pot.

China has had many different kinds of food since ancient times, such as rich pasta, delicious meat, colorful desserts and, of course, fresh and sweet fruits.

However, there is a local cuisine full of exotic customs and mystery, that is, western cuisine.

Its history can be traced back to before the Western Han Dynasty: Zhang Qian sent many missions to the Western Regions, and brought back not only spices, blankets and crop seeds. From the western regions, there are also foods from the western regions to the Central Plains.

As a result, a "western food wave" was blown up in the Central Plains. Until the Song and Ming Dynasties, western food was also very popular among the people.

In ancient times, western food could be called "high-grade food", and only rich and powerful people could enjoy it. It is recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Yu Fu Zhi, that nobles are imperial and provide food for Hu. Food reflects a place's humanity and, in some ways, its history. So food is very important and worth studying.

The story about Hu Bing has to be told.

It is mentioned in Zijian Xuanzong Ji: "There is no food in the world, and Yang has offered cakes from the market." During the Anshi Rebellion, one day after noon, Tang Xuanzong didn't eat, so Yang ran to the market and bought him Hu cakes. It's really ridiculous!

But it also aroused everyone's curiosity. Even the emperor could not put it down. Where is it? Hu cake in the population here is today's naan, but it is called cake for foreigners.

Cake is the most common food in daily life. Shandong has pancake fruit, Taiwan Province has hand-grabbed cakes, Gansu has Guo kui, and Anhui has Huangshan sesame seed cake ... Everyone has eaten cakes, but not so many people have eaten Naan.

Naan is the most common food in Xinjiang. So far, there are more than 50 different kinds: sandwiched meat, sesame, sliced naan, Hillman naan and so on. The practice of Naan is a bit like scones. Put the kneaded dough into the naan pit, and the naan freshly baked is fragrant and crisp.

In Xinjiang, people call the process of making naan "Naan", which is a very vivid word. In the process of kneading dough, Master Na 'an is really like boxing.

As a person who grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, I am curious whenever I see that everyone in the streets and alleys of Xinjiang only holds a South, and there is no soup without vegetables. Is baked wheat cake really that delicious?

Coming to this land of the Western Regions, we can realize that the essence of food is actually the raw material-flour.

Tracing back to the source, the key raw material of flour is wheat, whose history can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, and the planting history of wheat has been more than 10 thousand years!

Do you know where wheat originated in China? Wheat was introduced into China from West Asia, although many scholars believe that wheat was also brought back when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions. But traced back to the source, the time when wheat was introduced was indeed 3000 years earlier than the "Silk Road".

When it comes to taste, Xinjiang's wheat is undoubtedly better. Why? As we all know, the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large, with an average temperature difference of about 10 degrees. The sunshine is more abundant than that in the north and south, and the longest summer can reach 16 hours! Another more important reason is the special soil structure in Xinjiang, which is rich in various nutrients. There is also glacier snow water, a natural resource rich in minerals, which is more conducive to the growth of wheat in Xinjiang.

Suitable for outdoor travel, long-distance self-driving and cross-country travel. Cake has always been an essential food for our trip. When traveling outdoors, the professional team will definitely carry a big bucket of water and a bag of south cakes with them. You know, Nan can be stored for 3-6 months at room temperature. This will not only provide us with water and food when we meet an emergency outdoors, but also provide us with the necessary protein, so that we can get basic heat in the low temperature outdoors. Boil a pot of water, add a little salt and soak a small piece of naan. Delicious and delicious. If you can, you might as well roast the meat on the stove. . .
