Stir-fried pebbles are a snack in Hubei, and they are lost when they are finished, so they are called "lost".

"Suodiu" is indeed a snack in Hubei, which is mainly spread in the Three Gorges area (Zigui, Wushan, Fengjie, etc.), but it is a very minority dish, so you should not eat it unless you have to. There is no exact written record about the time when it appeared. It was handed down by the old boatmen in Zigui, Hubei Province, and it is said that it has a history of hundreds of years.

It is said that in the past, the level of economic development along the Yangtze River was limited. If you encounter an accident while sailing, you may face the situation of food and vegetables being cut off. After the food and vegetables are finished, only some oil and salt seasoning and some small stones picked up when landing are left, so "hard dishes are lost" has become the best choice. Pick up some pebbles the size of broad beans, wash them, oil them, add seasoning and salt and stir fry them, and a kind of appetizer will be made.

After 198s, with the development of coastal economy and the improvement of ship automation, the situation that boatmen were in desperate situation was less, and the dish "Suo Di" gradually faded out of the historical stage. Only in recent years, a food collection originated in Zigui County, and "Suodiu" has reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

Historical origin

There is no exact written record about the time when Suo Dieer appeared. It was handed down by the old boatman, and it is said that it has a history of hundreds of years. The reason why it is called a windbag is because the stone should be spit out and thrown into an empty bowl. If necessary, it can be repeatedly fried and windbag. In the past, boatmen used to eat windbreakers almost once a month.

until 195s, some old boatmen who followed the boat all the year round would catch up with them several times a year. After the 198s, with the development of coastal economy and the improvement of ship automation, the situation that boatmen were in desperate situation was less, and the dish Suodier gradually faded out of the historical stage. In recent years, Suo Dieer reappeared in the rivers and lakes, which originated from a food collection in Zigui County.
