A long time ago in Guangdong, one day a flash flood broke out and broke the bridge. Aniu came back from collecting firewood and saw a girl who couldn't cross the river, so he brought a buffalo to help her cross the river, but He didn't know that this girl was originally a fairy descended to earth.
Later, the two fell in love, but the fairy was always recalled from heaven. Before leaving, she gave A Niu a bag of vegetables and taught him how to cook them. Because the girl's name was Amei, the dried vegetables were called "Meicai". This is the legend of Meicai.
Ume cabbage is sweet in taste, can appetize and relieve qi, replenish blood and promote body fluids, and tonify deficiency and fatigue; pork belly (also known as rib meat and three-layer meat) is generally used as raw material for making pork belly with pickle cabbage. Pork belly is located in the pork belly. The belly is divided between fat and lean, so it is called "pork belly". The lean meat in this part is tender and juicy.
With plum vegetables and pork belly, the aroma of vegetables and meat penetrate each other, the oil is oily but not greasy, fresh, fragrant, waxy and sweet, complementing each other. Braised pork with pickled vegetables and pickles is also known as the "fairy match". It depends on whether it looks like the relationship between husband and wife. If the love between the "couple" is not strong enough, it will be in vain; Life can be sweet but not boring, each performs his own duties and tolerates each other, and a relationship that others think is stale will always remain fresh.
