2. Tunxi is now the seat of the Huangshan Municipal Government. The ancient town of Tunxi was named after Huang Gai, who was a soldier on the river.
The "stream" would be the current Xin'an River. In the night, from the tricycle, she almost dry, can only see a not very wide river.
Turning away from the Xin'an River, the light changed abruptly. A bustling, verdant shopping street came into view, with lights and wine flags flying.
The old street.
Talking about eating in Tunxi, we can not talk about the old street a building. Tunxi ancient Huining County of Huizhou. The dietary cuisine of this place is naturally Hui cuisine.
The first floor of the old street on the street, two floors, the large street window is extremely bright. Red and gray ancient-style restaurant, flying eaves and corners - imitation. There are a lot of local dishes here. Stone ear, stinky salmon, hairy tofu, bok choy and local chicken are my personal recommendations.
The stone ear is similar to the fungus, born in the cracks of the rocks in the Huangshan Mountain, is considered a mountain treasure. The color is the same as the fungus, and the shape is similar, except that the surface is densely covered with tiny protrusions, like the skin of a chicken. It can be made into a stewed chicken with stone fungus, fried vegetables with stone fungus, and tofu soup with stone fungus and vegetables.
The texture of the stone ear is not as fat as the wooden ear, more compact; taste is not obvious, along with the same pot or vegetables or chicken flavor, like Brasenia schrebergeri; fine taste is still a hint of feeling, I can not say, as if it is the bones and bones of the mountains and the openness of the mountains and the taste buds like the protrusion of those eating up is also intriguing.
Smelly salmon is extremely delicious. Ancient Huizhou people thrifty and hardworking. The ballad said "hand holding barley, feet on a pot of fire, in addition to the emperor is me", can be seen. So a stinky salmon is very reluctant to throw away. I did not expect to do out and called chicken, this is very delicious! Later, this dish even spread to the palace, to do the jade meal of Cixi.
Smelly salmon is the fresh salmon with salt drowning to become smelly, drowning good to be used; put in the refrigerator, can be preserved for several months.
Huizhou cuisine is heavy on oil, color and fire; a stinky salmon, two heads and tails on a white plate; the color is red and bright, the soup is rich; gently peel off the skin, revealing the garlic clove meat is smooth and glistening, picking up a taste, oh my God! The tenderness of the salmon, the flavor of the "stink" is really a surprise.
Keep persuading each other, swallowing, and food, beauty, beauty of the unexpected encounter, the three have the same work of the pleasure!
It's not the kind of stinky tofu that stinks, it's not that evocative, it's just right, it's the satisfaction and greed of the moment. But it's not so vulgar, either. Stinky tofu is only flavor but lacks texture, a sticky, wilting smear; material and flavor, like temperament and appearance, stinky salmon go hand in hand.
What is good or bad about maotou tofu may be a matter of opinion. The genesis of Mao Tofu, like that of the stinking salmon, has its origins in frugality. Hairy tofu, as the name implies, is tofu that is hairy and, well, over an inch white!
The hairy tofu on the first floor has been improved, and it is not appalling, with no white hairs over an inch in sight; but flavor-wise, it is very tasteless; I can't tell you why, and it is not like the original tofu, which is a bit slimy and unflavorful. Taste of this matter, this is a private unreasonable, both local characteristics, why not try? Why bother to believe in other people's feelings?
The greens refer to the greens we are talking about; local greens can be really small, I think of our northern greens, some of them even so thick, taste is also strong; here the small greens clear and fresh, slim and light together, a line in the plate, there are greens of incense and light, whether for soup or home fried, are calm and quiet. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products in the world.
From the first floor, I saw a room full of people already waiting downstairs. A donkey dressed as a city people all crowded here, and then brought the city's follow the wind, waiting for a seat wind, and glimpses of the wind of the mandarin ducks and butterflies.
And then there's the rest of the food on Old Street.
The old street starts from the old bridge in the west, which is the old bridge over the Xin'an River just now, and was built in the Ming Dynasty. At its easternmost end is the Old Street Pai Fang. The first floor is next to the pagoda. Pedestrian street, about one kilometer long.
The sides of the old street are full of stores. Huizhou world-famous She Banquet, Tang ink, the old "with Deren" Chinese medicine store, Anhui famous tea Huangshan Maofeng, Qihong Tun green, chrysanthemum, as well as those of the Huangshan VCD, Xidi Hongcun picture book, sprawling strangers across the road. These stores do not set the door, said stalls are more suitable for some. Some of the depth is very long, the roof is very high. Open and deep.
It was then that I saw someone with a skewer of stinky dried seeds. Another saw someone drinking a small cup of red date soup. There were also people just down the street with a stove and a burner on a stool. I ran over to them. It was an old lady, selling Huangshan baklava while making it. They were small, about the size of an egg in diameter. The pancake had a filling, minced pork with preserved vegetables. The biscuits were well beaten, the crust was tough and fragrant, the aroma of the oven, the smell of wheat.
Sit down and have a bowl of wontons at one of the snack bars. Stop by for a skewer of stinky dry roe, slathered in Dodo's red pepper sauce. Bite through the black, ooey-gooey skin and inside is steaming white bean flesh. Eyes are fixed on the store selling ink slabs across the street, watching them haggle over the price. The world is warm and realistic, and time is remote and resilient.
Seeing the red dates and lotus seed soup on the next table, I put it in a small cup. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this, and I'm sure I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this. Mung bean soup, rock sugar lily, red dates and lotus seed, I want two kinds, see her with a small spoon into a transparent cup; drink is particularly refreshing peace of mind; I like this handmade feeling, than from the production line down the bottled drinks much more cordial. I like this handmade feeling much more intimate than the bottled drinks that come off the production line. Like mom's soup, the fireworks and human feelings of the mundane life.
I love the old streets.
Continue shopping. The hickory. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get the best out of it, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get the best out of it, and I'm sure you're going to be able to get the best out of it. The powder of taro and pine nut powder piled into one side. The flavor that has not been felt before. In the field often have this kind of chance encounter. Think of Xiamen's pies, casually bought a few boxes at the airport, to JJ's children, he cherished like that, a few years later still can not forget (off-topic: delicious is the kind of meat and oil, Nanputuo kind of veggie oil is not good).
And Nan sugar. Sesame sugar, also known as Huizhou specialty! When you drink tea, the kind of green tea that's strong - we drank it on the second floor of De Ren Tang, right on the old street - and eat a piece of sugar, full of the strong flavor of sesame seeds, the sweetness is dissipated a bit by the tea, and it's too much of a provision to eat alone!
At closing time, I was satisfied to sneak out from the old street. I don't want to call a tricycle, but I'll walk along the Xin'an River; the lights are still sparse. There was a group of students coming out of their evening study hall, and a parade of bicycles swept by. Not far away, there are picking a stretcher of shouting: wonton stink dry son to ...
