Jishi Old Street is located in Jingjiang City, Taizhou City. It is ten old streets with a long history. It has always been the place with the strongest fireworks. People can buy all kinds of traditional foods here, providing the most authentic Jiangnan-style food for foreign tourists and local citizens.
The humble and delicious snacks in the old streets and alleys are just like the "first love" of a generation. It is a kind of fragrance that I smelled when I was a child, a cake that I ate when I was a teenager, and a taste of home that I diligently sought in ordinary days. It is the most touching thing to take a walk in the old street of Jishi, feel the stay of time and pursue the fragrance in the fireworks in the alley.
The seasonal market is the oldest place in Jingjiang. As early as the Southern Tang Dynasty, it formed a busy market town. People from all corners of the country have used thousands of years to run this place into such a humiliating appearance.
Follow the fragrance of osmanthus, and you will find the lotus leaf osmanthus cake shop of Laohu. Bai Nenyin cake has a good face value. It tastes soft and cool, and tastes five lips and teeth. The owner, Lao Hu, whose real name is Hu Songyu, studied under Wang Ronggui, and his craft is the biography of the ancient town Wang Jiazu. In the new era, Khufu still sticks to the ancient formula. Rice flour must be made of fine glutinous rice and fragrant japonica rice. Osmanthus fragrans must be extracted from a century-old Jingui tree. Lotus leaves must be made of fine leaves with neat, fresh and fragrant appearance.
when the cakes came out, the fragrance filled the whole street, and the breeze in the hall was sweet with them. Yin Cake is a good choice as a gift. A friend appropriately gives a box of Chun Xue-like cakes to bring some comfort to your lonely time. Slowly, the story in the old street spread between giving and mourning.
luobing is the most popular snack in the old street. Crispy cakes are full of sesame seeds in the outer layer, and soft glutinous red bean paste is wrapped in the pastry. When you take a bite, they are fragrant, crisp, crisp and sweet, and the troubles in the world can also be turned into a joke in this sweetness.
luobing also has salty taste, salt and pepper taste and fluffy meat taste, each of which has a different flavor. After tasting the rare spirits, this simple little shortcake is enough to make people linger. Tao Gu, a Song Dynasty man, recorded in his "Qing Yi Lu": "Nuo people are lucky for the food of Shu, and some imperial secretaries offer square towels and flour to raise their hopes. People in the village offered wine. I prefer to soak the noodles with wine and apply cakes to enter. " This technique of fermenting rice wine and flour has been used in luobing ever since. The ancients loved to eat, and today people consume more than 8 thousand a year.
when walking in the alley, the nose is full of fragrance. Don't think about it, it's the old chicken. To make chicken with old juice, you must choose freshly slaughtered chicken, wash it and drain it, then put it in the pot, and all of it will be simmered in the old juice. The heat must be properly controlled. It seems that there is no steam in the pot, but in fact the heat is locked by a layer of oil on the surface, and the chicken is slowly cooked.
Almost every household in the seasonal market will make chicken with old sauce, but the taste of each family is different, and the essence is in the "old sauce". Every family has the formula of "old juice", and each one has its own advantages. Ji Shi Lao Juice Chicken became famous as early as the late Qing Dynasty, and won the silver prize of China Food Expo in 1998. The production technology of Ji Shi Lao Juice Chicken was also listed as Taizhou intangible cultural heritage.
in the old street, everything is quaint. Early in the morning, people's peaceful and leisurely temperament is revealed in the voice of hawking. In the evening, an old chicken sauce, three or two white wines and a few steamed bread with fermented wine are good meals to soothe people's hearts. Looking carefully, anvil meat, bean curd soup with shuttlecocks, braised pork liver and large intestine, head dish and fermented sesame seed cake? Every kind of food adheres to the ancestral formula, and every craft hides the memory of generations.
looking for delicious food, you walk on the bluestone board polished by the soles of your feet, and walk briskly through the alley, like fireworks from the world to the world of fireworks.
