It's easy to eat these days, but difficult to eat. That's easier said than done. There must be a restaurant within 100 meters of going out. You can order anything and drink anything. It is difficult to say that it is difficult because people are tired of eating chicken, duck, fish, delicacies, rural farmers and finding a special dish. This is by no means an easy task. One sentence I often hear is "What should I eat?" Therefore, the operators also do their own things, dig their brains and do everything possible to be novel and delicious. All kinds of strange ways to eat are blooming everywhere. Zhengding's cultural heritage is deeper than that of Lizhuang, and so is the food culture: Majiaji, Liujiaji, Haojiaji ribs, meatballs eagerly made by historians, steamed bowls with pork elbow flowers, even a small jar oven biscuit and a piece of brine tofu, all taste purer than the star-rated hotels in Lizhuang. The tauren banquet is an example. I've heard of Zhengding tauren banquet, and I'm salivating, but I haven't had a chance to taste it. At noon on Saturday, it was raining in Mao Mao. At the invitation of Fu Zhiwei, a blogger who opened a bookstore in Zhengding, a group of friends in the circle crossed the Zi Long Bridge from Lizhuang by car and went to an obscure Muslim restaurant in the west of Zhengding East Outer Ring Road to taste the "Tauren Banquet". As the "instructor" of these gourmets, Qiu Shui also tasted such delicious food for the first time. Except that people don't eat human flesh, probably most animals and plants can't escape from people's teeth. "Eat, naturally!" It is said that only Zhengding in Beijing and the north can make this kind of bull's head banquet, and it is authentic halal food. Several cauldrons are cooked at the same time, and a cow head needs to be cooked for more than six hours. This requires a considerable technological process, and it is not easy to taste it all. When you come here to eat the tauren banquet, you should book it in advance and invite a large table of people to eat together, otherwise you will have to fight for it yourself. Hehe, we just take it for a ride. One, six or eight small cold dishes with wine: scones, tomatoes mixed with sugar, fried peanuts, cucumber slices and shredded tofu. The host opened a box of white wine, and several ladies took a sip of their drinks. Everyone exchanged greetings and looked forward to the arrival of Niutou. Originally, I imagined that the bull's head served must be like a sacrifice, with a ferocious face. People like me who are vegetarian and do good deeds are reluctant to eat. After drinking for 30 days and tasting five kinds of vegetables, the bull's head appeared: half a steaming bull's head was placed in a stainless steel tray covered with gloomy scallion rape, like a beautiful woman hiding half her face in front of us from behind her guitar. A tempting dish of food! Guests swarmed in, so don't take it wrong, don't sweep it away, but pick up the camera of the mobile phone and "click" it, as if it were a news conference for opening new dishes! The load has been broadcast on Weibo! It's not easy to grab a starting position these days. Master is busy dividing the knife. "Cowhide is not blowing!" "Even the cow's face is half an inch thick! Tear off a piece, taste it, it is smooth and refreshing, fat but not greasy, and there is no strange smell at all. Cow's brain, cow's tongue and cow's eyes, but I don't see any horns. When we toast each other, I search my favorite parts, and the meat under my eyes is thin and thin; Thick facial skin and beautiful gums; The meat on your tongue is tender ... "Let me see your meat? "Mrs. Fu Zhiwei next to me said in surprise." Ah, a ladder! ""the ladder is a piece of meat under the cow's tongue, and it is the most delicious piece of meat at the tauren banquet! It is said that if you eat it, you can get promoted and make a fortune! " "Ha ha, I'm going to retire, eat a ladder can rise? Keep it for the next life. " I thought to myself, but I couldn't help secretly rejoicing for a while. This is the advantage of not drinking. Why are there so many Muslims in Zhengding? After returning to Lizhuang, I sent a note to ask Fan Xiufeng for an answer, but I had to go online to the record of Zhengding County in Baidu: Zhengding County has a long history and people lived here as early as the Neolithic Age. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Yu first established its capital here, and then it belonged to Jin. Zhengding is located at the crossroads, which is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Some ethnic minorities in the Eastern Jin Dynasty have repeatedly fought and lost here. In the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion and the separatist regime in the buffer region were the main battlefields that decided the outcome. Qidan entered Zhengding several times, and Song, Jin and Yuan all fought here. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Shan Shankun, from a big grain country, decided to collect taxes in Ren Zhen, so his family moved to Calm down. There is a Hui nationality in Calm County. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, three Hui people from Jiumen, namely Di, Zhao and Wu, and three Hui people from Dingzhou, namely Ma, Bai and Li, successively moved to settle down and do business, selling cattle, sheep, chickens and sticky cakes. Later, they moved in and multiplied, and the population increased. There are nine gates in Zhoucheng, where the Hui people live. One of my colleagues has a nine-door family, and his grandfather is an imam there. He said the barbecue there was authentic. Do you want to eat together? Send me a message if you want to go.
