Zhao Gou, the King of Kang, fled from the capital city of Bianliang to the south and was partial to the south of the Yangtze River.

At that time, someone once wrote a poem saying, "When will the West Lake dance stop?" ? Warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou a continent! "To vent their dissatisfaction. The people in Changwu area expressed their desire to resist gold and recover lost land in another form. They changed the spherical sesame candy into a cylindrical shape like a vessel and gave it to Kang Wang to inspire his courage to resist and rejuvenate the country.

First, rinse with clear water, clean, and then dilute too much salty taste. Drain, cut into cubes, pour into the pot and stir-fry until the water is controlled. Then oil pan, onion, ginger and garlic, dried Chili, stir-fried diced radish. Porridge is preferred in summer. You can also watch the football match with cold beer. Pick up a dried radish and have a drink. People who have been to Changzhou will say, "There is a strange thing in Changzhou. Dried radish is an appetizer. "Authentic Changzhou dried radish is really different from dried radish in other places. It is made of sweet and tender solid carrots produced by the new gate outside the west gate of Changzhou, washed and cut into strips, moderately dried, and then added with appropriate amount of salt, sugar and various auxiliary materials, and carefully pickled. Due to the excellent selection of materials, a unique pickling process and a unique flavor seasoning are adopted. Therefore, Changzhou dried radish is yellow and red in color, salty but not salty, slightly sweet in salty, crisp but not spicy, and very delicious. Besides, it is cheap and easy to carry. It is not only a side dish for people to eat, but also a pastime food after drinking and eating. If you buy authentic Changzhou products, customers will be satisfied. Due to the exquisite selection of materials and fine processing, the pickled dried radish is golden in color, delicious in taste, rich in aroma, crisp and refreshing. Dried radish is not only delicious, but also has anti-inflammatory, heatstroke prevention and appetizing effects in medicine. This kind of dried radish is mainly made from local excellent varieties of fresh radish "thin skin and one knife" and "mallard egg" by wind dehydration. When pickling, first wash the radish with mud, cut it into strips with uniform thickness, expose it to the sun for three to five days, and then pickle it twice. For the first time, according to the proportion of adding salt to each 100 Jin of white radish, mix well and knead thoroughly, and put it into the cylinder in batches. When loading the cylinder, put one layer and step one layer, step by step. Take it out of the tank after three days and air it for another two or three days. Then the second pickling, adding salt according to the proportion of one and a half Jin per hundred Jin, then evenly mixing, kneading thoroughly, and then putting it into the tank in batches, which can be pickled for about seven days, and then it can be stored or eaten in the tank. I have a special liking for Changzhou dried radish, not only because it is crisp and sweet, inexpensive and suitable for all seasons, but also because it is a ginseng of poor and middle peasants. Radish is naturally planted on private plots. Summer is the season of radish harvest. The green radish, carrot and white radish in the field were pulled out one by one, and two baskets were fully loaded, weighing about 100 kilograms. Cut off the radish seedlings (which can be pickled), then put them in a basket, wash them in the river, cut the round radish like a watermelon, and spread them out under a dim kerosene lamp all night. There must be a scorching sun every other day. Spread the sliced radish in a bamboo basket to dry. Some people have bamboo curtains, and they can also be laid on them. After being exposed to the sun for three times, the radish will shrink into a boat with two sharp ends and a thick middle, like two upturned horns. Another night, please come out of the jar, clean it, sprinkle a thick layer of sun-dried radish in the jar, sprinkle a lot of coarse salt, add fried star anise and fresh coriander, step on it for a few minutes, and then spread a layer of radish, salt, fennel and coriander. After all the salting, cover it with a wooden cover smaller than the jar mouth, and then press a huge yellow stone on the wooden cover. A month later, the unique fragrance of Changzhou dried radish will pervade the whole old house. Crispy spicy dried radish tastes fresh and crisp, with red outside and white inside, and has a unique flavor such as spicy, sweet and salty.
