Take a sip of salty and delicious camellia oleifera with chopped green onion and brown sesame seeds, and savor the tiny sesame seeds. The fragrance is on the tip of the tongue and the taste is in the mouth. Chewing peanuts that have been ground into pieces and fried brown, the teeth are full of fragrance ... I don't know how many diners are attracted by the charm of Nanyang Camellia oleifera. In the past, the harsh cries of vendors selling bottled camellia oleifera in Nanyang city were a landscape of Nanyang food culture in the ancient city.
Nanyang Camellia oleifera originated in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty. Before liberation, small vendors selling camellia oleifera mostly sold camellia oleifera in pots. The pot is made of copper with a long neck, a long spout and a cotton-padded jacket for insulation. It is also a "landscape" to pour camellia oleifera: the peddler lifts the bottom of the pot with his feet, and the camellia oleifera spouts in an arc shape along the spout, and the aroma suddenly overflows, making the diners drool. Nanyang people also compiled a jingle for vendors selling camellia oleifera, vividly saying: "Those who sell camellia oleifera are born bitter, and it is dark (at night). During the day, they carry chamber pot, and their buttocks are a little pouty, just a big bowl."
The ingredients of Nanyang Camellia oleifera are flour, peanuts, sesame seeds, sesame oil, walnuts and onions. , rich in flavor, salty and palatable.
Nanyang Camellia oleifera is an exotic product, and its origin has a certain origin with Buddhist culture.
The introduction of Buddhism had a certain influence on China's food culture. Buddhism forbids animal slaughter and vegetarianism (vegetarianism was first advocated by Liang Wudi), which promotes the rise and development of vegetarian cooking school.
The Qing Dynasty was a prosperous dynasty of China's food culture, which created an unprecedented new situation of food culture and developed a large number of new foods. Camellia oleifera originated in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty and is a typical product of Buddhist culture. Yong Zhengdi in Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism and liked vegetarian food. According to legend, Yong Zhengdi led a heavily patrolled Henan to control the Yellow River flood. One day when he came to Wudu County, Wu Shilu, the magistrate of a county, knew that Yongzheng was a vegetarian and called all the famous chefs in the county. At that time, a chef named Niu, whose ancestral home was Nanyang, worked as a policeman in Wudong, and painstakingly came up with a way to please Yongzheng: stir-fry peanuts, peel off their skins and underwear, and divide light yellow peanuts into two pieces; Stir-fry walnuts, cut into pieces the size of beans, and then stir-fry sesame seeds. There is also flour with a proper amount of salt and stir-fry in the pot to give a fragrance. Finally, add a spoonful of sesame oil to these peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds and flour, and put them into a container to stir. Add water to make a paste, and pour it into boiling water to make soup. The soup is ready, and it smells delicious and mouth-watering. I offered a bowl to the emperor. Yongzheng praised it after eating and asked what it was. Master Niu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is the ancestral grain camellia." Yongzheng ate happily and immediately ordered Camellia oleifera as a tribute to the court, and issued a decree to open an oil teahouse. Camellia oleifera became famous for Yongzheng. After Yongzheng left, Wuxianling was widely made friends according to law, and opened an oil tea shop to make a lot of money by oil tea. The best camellia oleifera is presented to the imperial court, the medium one is sold to merchants, and the low one is sold to ordinary people. Camellia oleifera in Nanyang flourished after this.
Camellia oleifera is famous not only in Henan and Nanyang, but also abroad. Before liberation, students studying in Europe often carried long-necked pots and sold camellia oleifera through work-study programs. According to records, Chinese restaurants on the streets of Paris still use camellia oleifera as the first-class soup. (Zhang Wenhua)
