There is a snack bar named "Fuchun Ginger Duck" in Xinxing Street, Xindian Town, Xiang 'an, which has the reputation of "Golden Gate Time-honored Brand". Just hearing this statement, some people don't understand. Generally speaking, the time-honored brand in a certain place is in the local area, or stores are opened in different places, and "Fuchun Ginger Duck" is not in Jinmen, nor is it a branch of the famous Jinmen store in the new store. Why is it called this? According to the interview, the "flagship" ginger duck restaurant is delicious, which is not only famous in Xiang 'an and even Xiamen, but also praised by the villagers in Jinmen. Many Jinmen folks will come here to visit relatives in Hunan, so they will enjoy this reputation.
After eating Fuchun ginger duck, I found it really extraordinary. According to Zhang Tianjiao, a member of the Standing Committee of Xiang 'an District Political Consultative Conference who is proficient in food, the "Fuchun Ginger Duck" store is named after the owner Lin Fuchun. Lin Fuchun's father, Lin, is from Fu 'an. For generations, he has been managing snacks in the Ginger Duck Store. Fu Lin is very clever in spring. He learned to cook ginger duck from his father. Later, Lin Fuchun married Hutou Village, Xindian, Xiang 'an, and founded the Jiangmu Duck Shop in Xinxing Street, Xindian with her husband Hongshuigong. Its main snack, Ginger Duck, is unique from the selection of ingredients to the production: Ginger Duck is made by carefully selecting "Zheng Tu Muscovy Duck" raised by farmers for more than 100 days and "Ginger Mother" grown locally for many years, with seasonings such as shallots and salt, and then mixing with sweet ancient well water for several hours. The stewed ginger duck is original, fragrant and refreshing, and has the effect of expelling wind and removing dampness. Coupled with the low price, it is loved by diners including Jinmen folks.
There are other delicious foods in Fuchun store, such as golden hooves and mutton pots, which make people greedy. It's the winter tonic season, so it's a good choice to go to Fuchun Jiangmu Duck Restaurant to taste delicious food.
Sweet potato powder cake
Sweet potato powder is the staple food for Xiang 'an people to entertain guests. Xiang 'an people like sweet potato powder jiaozi so much, in addition to their own beauty, there are historical legends.
It is said that Hong Chaoxuan, a scholar in Jiajing period, was born in a poor family. On the eve of the exam in Beijing, his mother wanted to cook a delicious meal to see her son off, but there was only a little porridge, sweet potato powder and oysters and amphioxus sent by others at home. Mother mixed sweet potato powder with porridge and stirred it into a paste, then put it in a pot and baked it into a thin sweet potato skin. After taking it out of the pot, she cut it into strips. After adding Shanghai oysters and amphioxus, Hong Chaoxuan will never forget her sweet potato rice crust.
Hong Chao chose the top student in high school and went home to visit relatives. The villagers warmly hosted a banquet, and delicious food was served one after another. At the end of the banquet, there was no sign of sweet potato powder. Hong Chaoxuan couldn't help asking the villagers when to serve this dish. The villagers are puzzled. Before solving the mystery, they asked Hong Chaoxuan's mother. Later, they cooked it according to law and it was really delicious.
I have tasted this staple food in Jianmin restaurant in Xindian, and found that although the main ingredient of amphioxus is missing (amphioxus is a national protected fish), it still has its unique flavor. Sweet potato powder with canned pork is smooth, sweet and delicious.
It is understood that Xiang 'an Luxiang Restaurant, Qinyuan Restaurant and Dongfang Xinxing Restaurant all have this staple food.
Laver pot
Before I went to Xiang 'an to interview food, the laver I ate was basically soup, and occasionally I ate cold laver, which tasted ordinary and had no special feeling. I heard about laver as a pot in Xiang 'an, and it tastes different from laver soup.
There are many seafood products along the coast of Xiang 'an, and laver is one of them. It contains high content of minerals such as iodine, calcium, iron and phosphorus, and rich nutrients such as fat and protein. The soup is delicious, and the pot is better. According to local chefs, in addition to laver, oyster sauce, scallops and leeks are added and cooked in casserole, which has both the crispness of laver and the sweetness of scallops and leeks.
This innovative snack is not the only case in Xiang 'an. There are many special snacks in Xiang 'an, such as sweet glutinous rice balls in Xiangshan oyster sauce, potatoes and taro in Xiangshan field, boiled shrimp and so on. I'm going to Xiang 'an Food Tour on Sunday. I'm sure I'll be glad you came. What's the matter? Are you tempted? Action is not as good as action. Action can satisfy your appetite.

"Xiang' an absolutely" boiled shrimp valley
Xiang 'an has a unique geographical location and a very long coastline. Aunt shrimp is big, rich in meat and full of cream flavor. The "Boiled Shrimp Aunt" made of this material is delicious, and the diners with picky tastes are also hooked.
If you want to eat the best shrimp, you must first learn to choose. First of all, you should choose the big one. Secondly, you should tell whether the cream of shrimp is full or not. The simple way is to turn your back on the light. If you can clearly see a pink or black trace running through the head and tail, it is the top grade. The method of cooking shrimp is quite ingenious: put the selected mother shrimp into a boiling water pot with 3% salt, the ratio of shrimp to water is 1: 50, and the water is boiled for 2 minutes, then take out the shrimp. Fire should be fierce when boiling water. It should be cooked, not cooked slowly for a long time, so the meat will age. Divide each pot once, and replace all the salt water every five pots. In this way, the delicacy and sweetness of shrimp valley seafood can be better preserved.
