Shaoxing food culture

/bbs/display.asp? id=069692829327

Many people learned about Shaoxing through Lu Xun's articles: Wupeng Boat, Felt Hat, Social Opera, Kong Yiji, Fennel Bean, etc. Now, although many things have disappeared, many essences of food culture still exist.

Shaoxing cuisine is divided into three series: pickled vegetables, stinky vegetables and moldy vegetables. Listen to me.

Shaoxing people seem to have a special liking for the word "mildew", such as dried mushrooms, thousands of moldy pieces, moldy edamame, moldy tofu, etc. Dried mushrooms are authentic Shaoxing traditional dishes, and dried mushrooms in Zhejiang are the most authentic in Shaoxing. The dried moldy vegetables are soaked in water, then drained, dry-stewed and fermented. When you want to eat, put the dried mushrooms in a bowl, put a few slices of Jinhua ham or pork belly on the surface, a few slices of bamboo shoots, light a few drops of daughter red (yellow wine), and steam thoroughly in the pot. When you put a chopstick on it, you can feel the smell of meat and the sweetness of bamboo shoots seeping into the dried vegetables. It is delicious, fat but not greasy, and it is a delicacy for next meal. Dried moldy vegetables must be eaten while it is hot, with rice or steamed bread, which is tempting and can really make people eat more than half a bowl of rice.

Pickles and pickles, Shaoxing likes to make Lai dishes by pickling. Fish, chickens and ducks, all kinds of internal organs, or sauced or pickled, are exposed to the sun and wind outdoors until the water is dried. On the edge of the twelfth lunar month, in the streets, in front of every house and under every porch, pickled products are hung on the poles, which adds a new year atmosphere to the water town. Dried fish in sauce, after steaming out of the pot, is full of fragrance and tastes wonderful. The meat of dried fish in sauce is not as hard as that of chicken and duck in sauce, and it is easy to plug teeth. After heating, it is soft and delicious, chewed carefully and has a unique taste.

The stinky vegetables include stinky white gourd, sweet potato stalks, stinky dried tofu, etc. When you arrive at the gate of Xianheng Hotel, the smell of nose-flushing comes to your nose, which is the smell of fried stinky tofu. Stinky tofu can be described as extremely unpleasant to the nose, but as long as you have the courage to eat the first piece, you will find it crisp and Marie Laure Gigon, smelly and charming, and even more attractive when you put on hot sauce and sweet sauce, and you will have an indissoluble bond with it from then on. The smell of fried stinky tofu often comes from the streets and deep alleys of Shaoxing, so many people willingly stand on the street and eat fried stinky tofu with the smell of nasal flushing.

Shaoxing wine is a low-alcohol wine made of pure grain, with moderate sugar and acid and rich nutrition. Drinking it in moderation can promote fluid production and blood circulation, promote metabolism, and have the effects of refreshing, appetizing and eliminating fatigue. Drinking method of yellow rice wine: The drinking method of Shaoxing wine is quite particular. In the summer and summer season, add some ice cubes to the glass, inject a small amount of yellow wine, and finally dilute it with water. Some people can also put a slice of lemon into the cup, which is called cold drink. Warm drink in winter, put the wine container in hot water to heat it, or heat it up from the fire. Warm drinking is characterized by rich wine aroma and soft wine taste. But the heating time should not be too long, otherwise the alcohol will evaporate, but it will be tasteless. When heated, the wine is rich in color and aroma, and it warms the stomach and promotes blood circulation after drinking, which is very refreshing.

Good match with wine: when drinking, you can appreciate the unique flavor of yellow wine with different dishes. Take Shaoxing wine as an example: dry yuan red wine should be accompanied with cold dishes such as vegetables and jellyfish; Semi-dry rice wine is suitable for meat and hairy crabs; Semi-sweet good wine, suitable for chickens and ducks;

Taidiao wine is a registered patent yellow rice wine in Shaoxing Xianheng Hotel. After more than eight years of aging storage and blending by the best method, the wine is pure and mellow, with rich aroma and endless aftertaste. 5 kg jar is too carved 190~288 yuan.

We went to Xianheng Hotel FB this time because the leaders of our company came to inspect, and the customers got a dinner. We still insisted on local dishes, and ordered braised pork with moldy dried vegetables, moldy thousand pieces, moldy edamame, moldy tofu, drunken chicken cans, steamed tofu with stinky poles, steamed fish, fried stinky dried tofu, boiled shrimp, ham and corn soup, etc., 1 kg eight-year-old Taidiao, pickled rice. Understand some of the essence of Shaoxing food culture.

The degree of yellow rice wine is not high (1 1~ 15), but it has a strong stamina. Don't drink too much and drink too much, and you will be unconscious.

Restaurants, pubs, tea shops and snack bars in Shaoxing are characterized by large quantity, dispersion and small scale. 1949, there were 844 restaurants in Shaoxing with a population of100000. Shaoxing county has a population of over one million, and there are as many as 2,406 restaurants. Shaoxing has a well-developed wine-making and tea-making industry, with a large output and excellent quality. People have a traditional habit of drinking and drinking tea, and there are many pubs and tea shops. Restaurants are mostly distributed in urban and rural market towns or traffic arteries. There are many varieties and unique cooking methods in the cooking of dishes related to restaurants. The traditional cooking techniques include 32 kinds of techniques, such as simmering, simmering, drunkenness, stewing, mildew and salting, which are various and lead the way. 1990, there were 6 152 catering enterprises in the whole city with 13950 employees.

Shaoxing cooking has a long history. Biography of Huo Zhi in Historical Records records that "the land of Chu and Yue ... rice, rice, soup and fish". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Jian, a Shaoxing boy, wrote the secret book "Tiaoding Collection", which has influenced it to this day.

During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1862 ~1874), the Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing City (changed from a stall to a shop) was opened at the foot of Dajiang Bridge, with an area of nearly 200 square meters and 22 dining tables. The owner, surnamed Zhao, mainly deals in door-plank rice, with moderate fresh and salty dishes and cheap prices. At noon alone, there are more than a dozen batches of people who take turns to have meals, and the rice needs to be cooked for more than 2 stones (150 kg), receiving about 2,000 customers. This store specializes in cooking fish with vinegar, Shao-style small buttons and single rot, and has become a famous dish in Shaoxing and has been passed down to this day.

During Guangxu period (1875 ~1908), Wangjianglou Steamed Bread Shop was set up in Nongkou, Xinhe, the city. The "Shoukou Steamed Bread" made by it was thin-skinned, stuffed, smooth, tough and fragrant, one bite at a time, delicious in taste and quite good in business. During the period of the Republic of China, the famous restaurants in the urban area were the pavilion with several pavilions, Xinglin Building, Xinhe Lane Zhiweiguan Building, Tongchun Building, Kaminooji Duoyi Building, Xiaojiangqiao Daqing Building, Chang 'anmen Juchang Building and so on. Among them, the new stores pay attention to ostentation and extravagance, clean and wide, well-equipped, and use a full set of silver tableware for the banquet, with exquisite cooking skills and unique flavor, which is well-known, and many citizens gather here for dinner and banquet.

In the Republic of China 14 (1925), Rongluchun Dim Sum Store opened in Xuantingkou, and its "steamed soup packets" were all praised by customers for their thin skin, stuffing and fresh juice.

In 25 years of the Republic of China, there were 83 restaurants in Shaoxing city with a capital of 935 1 yuan and an annual turnover of 27,729 yuan. 20 Chinese and Western restaurants with a capital of 72 10 yuan and an annual turnover of 3,623 yuan; There are 29 rice cake shops with a capital of 5 175 yuan and an annual turnover of 9498 yuan; There are 27 fried dough sticks biscuit shops with a capital of 2,508 yuan and an annual turnover of 7,000 yuan.

During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, all trades were depressed, and the catering business was light, so most restaurants closed or changed jobs. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the catering industry recovered slightly.

In 35 years of the Republic of China (1946), when the Chamber of Commerce registered, there were 37 restaurants and 25 pastry shops, excluding vendors.

In the early 1950s, there were 772 restaurants in the whole region. Due to the low living standard of the people, frugality and extravagance, the catering industry was light, with a turnover of more than 90,000 yuan, most of them could only operate at breakeven.

1956 Shaoxing catering company was established, and catering companies were established in various counties one after another, and the private catering industry was transformed into socialism. In the urban area, eight food restaurants, such as Rongluchun, Tongxin Building, Wuweihe, Lanxiang Pavilion, Phoenix Pavilion, Zhangliuji, Zhangshengji, Shengyuanxing, were cleared for assets and capital verification, and the shares were purchased at a fixed price, and the interest was paid according to the national redemption policy. The staff continued to work and implemented a public-private partnership. There are four public-private partnerships in Shaoxing's dim sum industry: Shen Guiji, Heping jiaozi Store, Wang Chengji (Wangjianglou) and Gao Deji. There are four pastry groups: Ding Daxing Shengji, Ding Daxing Mark, Baoxing and Wu Laiyun. In addition, 237 small shops will be organized into 28 management groups in a cooperative manner, operating independently and taking responsibility for their own profits and losses; 433 vendors will be formed into 48 cooperative groups.

1958 During the climax of "commune", the catering industry changed greatly, changing decentralized management into centralized management, merging outlets and decentralizing personnel. Due to the compression of food supply index and insufficient supply capacity, in order to save food, the catering industry promotes substitutes, in which fried dough sticks are made of 75% standard flour and 25% sweet potato flour; Noodles are made of 70% standard flour and 30% sweet potato flour. In the early 1960s, when grain production was reduced, it entered a difficult period of "substituting melons and vegetables", and the catering industry was once in trouble. Only coarse grains can be carefully cultivated and supplied together. In order to meet the needs of different levels, Shaoxing restaurant was set up in Shaoxing city for high-priced vegetable rice.

1965, when the economic situation improved, Shaoxing restaurant canceled the high-priced vegetable rice, gradually diversified the varieties of food, and began to pay attention to restoring traditional dishes. During the "Cultural Revolution", the traditional skills and management characteristics of the catering industry were regarded as "closed, funded and repaired" and cancelled; Adapting to the diverse needs of consumers is said to be "serving the bourgeois minority"; The famous Lanxiang Pavilion was renamed the Hotel of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, and Rongluchun was changed to Dongfanghong Hotel. Individual catering industry is regarded as "the tail of capitalism" and cut off.

1972, the number of restaurants in Shaoxing city was 3 1 home, a decrease of 40.4% compared with 1965. Advocating "do-it-yourself service" for customers' meals, the variety of meals is single, the quality is declining, the famous dishes are out of order, and the cooking technology is not connected. 1978, there were 604 restaurants in the whole region, with 5 179 employees.

Shaoxing wine is famous, and Shaoxing people are also famous for drinking. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Shaoxing had "a hundred wines in the city" (Lu You's poems).

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many restaurants and restaurants in urban and rural areas, which was called "everywhere restaurants" (Xu Weishi).

Around the 20th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1894), Lu Xun's uncle Zhou Zhongxiang opened Xianheng Hotel in Duchangfangkou. Its layout is the same as that of other Shaoxing hotels: there are curved counters facing the street, with Qinglong brand on it, and the words "Liu Ling stops" and "Taibai legacy" are written on it; On the horizontal cabinet facing the street, the "wine embryo" is displayed; The shop has built-in small board tables and long benches, which are simple in equipment and elegant but not vulgar.

During the Republic of China, the more famous hotels in the urban area were Shen Yonghe Nanhao, Zhang Qinghe, Fu Youji, etc., with better equipment and private rooms, and their employers were mostly middle and upper class people. The wine dishes are mainly cold dishes. If customers need to stir-fry, the owner will send someone to buy them. "Wine embryo" is changed all year round, and cold dishes are served in spring, including sauce duck, bad chicken, dried fish, happy eggs, smoked goose, etc. In summer, it is jellyfish, fresh broad beans, fresh arhat beans, preserved eggs, boiled chicken, steamed pork, fried peanuts, etc. In autumn, there are osmanthus chestnuts and Yangcheng Lake crabs, which are packed in wire cages and placed on the counter for customers to choose. Now they are eaten now, and a small dish of minced ginger and vinegar is prepared. In winter, there are chopped goose, steamed stuffed bun with bean curd skin, beef, salted boiled peanuts and so on. Shaoxing wine should be drunk warm, and the hotel has a warm wine cylinder (commonly known as a barrel). When the customer sits down, it will be served warm wine. Most of the small hotels are husband-and-wife shops, which are all over the streets. Most of the wine embryos are celery, pig's head, vegetarian chicken, fennel beans, dried fragrant herbs, etc. Their customers are ordinary citizens, foil workers and other small handicraft workers.

By the climax of "commune" in 1958, all hotels and vendors were organized into 14 decentralized cooperative stores with negative profits and losses according to regions (Fushan, Mangshan, Beihai and Tashan). During the "Cultural Revolution" period, the hotel business was light and difficult to maintain, so it had to run vegetables, rice and snacks concurrently and develop into comprehensive management. 1978, there was only one "East Street Zero Hotel" left in the pure hotel in the urban area.

198 1 year, on the eve of the 0/00th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Lu Xun 100, Xianheng Hotel, which had been closed for many years, reopened for business, with three brick and wood building storefronts with white walls and stone slabs paved with bluestones, all of which were antique.
