Wanzai is a small county in Yichun City, Jiangxi Province. Fireworks is its traditional industry, and it is known as the "hometown of fireworks" in China. Millions of people like to eat Chili, which is different from Sichuan people and Hunan people. The peppers here are not only used for seasoning, but also a delicious meal. Thousands of locally grown peppers, commonly known as "yellow peppers", are thick and long. Fresh peppers are hot and sweet, and they are even hotter when dried. Dried yellow pepper is one of the important ingredients for chopping meat for thousands of years.

Wan Chai is meaty.

The reputation of chopping meat can be described in eight words: it rises quietly and spreads like wildfire. Around 2000, Wanzai Golden Triangle vegetable market was built and prospered. Many nearby villagers sell their own agricultural products here, live near to carry the burden, and live far away by bike or motorcycle. In order to occupy a favorable position in the market, the men in the village set out from home before dawn, rain or shine. After a hard morning's work, at twelve o'clock, several fellow villagers who came to sell vegetables together got together and went to a restaurant. It was necessary to eat meat and drink. As we all know, many hotel merchants don't have too many main ingredients in order to control costs. For example, Chili fried meat is usually "Chili with less meat". In addition, the meat in the restaurant will not be so fresh if it is kept for a long time. So villagers usually choose to buy their own meat and then spend some money to cook.

"Chop" means "buy" in Wanzai dialect, and buy a lot, so "chop meat" actually means "buy meat" from the beginning. In the past, if there were guests from her family, her wife would let her men ride bicycles to chop a few pounds of meat in the street. The fellow villager chopped two Jin of pork belly at the meat stall in the vegetable market and took it to the restaurant next to him for the master to process. If they like spicy food, they will add "put more dried peppers". Over time, the practice of "chopping meat" has become more and more stable and developed into a local leading dish.

So what are the characteristics of "chopping meat in Wan Chai"? I summarized the following points:

1, authentic ingredients. Must be local "yellow pepper", local garlic, local pork;

The meat is plentiful and fresh. Pork is fat and thin, and pork belly is the best. A bowl of chopped meat should use at least one catty of pork, even two or three catties.

3, the practice is no problem. Generally, to chop meat for thousands of years, you should first fry it with fat, then add garlic stalks, then add soy sauce and salt, stir the pan a little, then pour oil to fry the meat, and finally add garlic and pepper together.

At present, almost all restaurants in the Golden Triangle vegetable market are labeled as "XX chop meat restaurant", and thousands of locals invite friends from other places to eat chop meat in the Golden Triangle.
