Yangzhou is an ancient historical and cultural city with a history of more than 2,5 years. Huaiyang cuisine with Yangzhou as its main birthplace is world-famous. Therefore, there are too many delicious foods in Yangzhou. Similarly, the delicious food and eating of Yangzhou people are also amazing.

As the saying goes, behind every kind of food, there are either beautiful and moving stories or intriguing allusions. Those tourists who go down to Yangzhou, while wandering in the small bridge, flowing water, white walls, bluestone and tiles, watch the beautiful scenery; While smelling the fragrance, we swept the Huaiyang dinner and tasted delicious snacks.

Everyone agrees on this-

First of all, even Confucius once said, "You never tire of eating fine food, and you never tire of eating fine food", which shows that his old man is also a delicious advocate. Wen Sheng still so, what's more, we wait for ordinary people to shout?

Secondly, I spend my salary earned by my own sweat, so of course I can choose to eat green vegetables at will. Or eat big dish hot pot! I really don't want to wait until I am too old to lose all my teeth in the future, and then send out such boring feelings as: "There was a delicious meal before me, and I didn't cherish it …". Therefore, as a foodie, when the taste buds on the tip of the tongue encounter delicious food, that is when a happy love begins.

I'll start with three meals a day for Yangzhou people.

In Yangzhou, breakfast is not called a restaurant, but a teahouse. In the tea house, people talk noisily, weddings, and the fragrance wafts with the wind, which is enough to make your mouth water. Yangzhou people don't necessarily eat delicacies, but ordinary meals. They still eat hot and noisy (local dialect means lively) and enjoy themselves.

Among these numerous tea houses, Fuchun Tea House is the most famous. There are countless celebrities who have been to Fuchun. Zhu Ziqing, Ba Jin, Mei Lanfang and others have all left Mo Bao in the store.

Old-shop cows, old-shop drags, and Fuchun tea shop waiters look at money rather than money. If you don't reserve a seat in advance, just stand by and wait for a seat. Wait until you have a prime minister's attitude, and a waiter will come to greet you. This has to be eaten by several people who don't know each other.

There are many things to eat morning tea in Yangzhou: when you sit down in the shop, order a plate of perm-dried silk first. This dried silk can be regarded as one of the typical Huaiyang dishes, and its shadow is indispensable in morning tea.

Zhu Ziqing, a great writer, said in the article "Talking about Yangzhou": "... when you eat breakfast in Yangzhou, there is a cold dish with a perm. First, cut a large square piece of dried bean curd into thin slices quickly, then cut it into filaments, put it in a small bowl, and pour it with boiling water, and the dried silk will be cooked; Drain the water, winnow it into a cone, pour some sesame sauce, and put a pinch of dried shrimps and shredded dried bamboo shoots. Just at that moment, I just looked at the dried bean curd, and it arrived in the blink of an eye ... "

In Yangzhou, this humble dried silk can be divided into" scalding "and" boiling ". Among them, perm dried silk is eaten in morning tea; The boiled dried silk is eaten at the banquet. Having breakfast is really informative.

tut tut tut.

There is a doggerel widely circulated among wells in Yangzhou City, which vividly describes the beautiful life of Yangzhou people about "eating" in a day. Let's talk about breakfast first-

"It's getting late in the morning, but I feel that there is a tide in my heart and I have a walk in the teahouse.

mixed dried silk, flavor cake, crab shell yellow, thousand-layer cake, jade shaomai, and three-dimensional buns.

clear soup noodles, crisp fire, fragrant green tea in Yangzhou ... "

Talk about having lunch again-

" After breakfast, I want to have lunch, and I want to burn the lion's head with Chinese cabbage, simmer the white hoof with soy sauce, and stir-fry the shrimp loin with vinegar.

Shaoxing wine, aged flower carving, and half a catty of music and pottery ...

After lunch, I want to have the afternoon, and then I'll pour and cut Dong Tang's cloud cake and have a packet of citron strips.

I want to have dinner in the afternoon, Jinhua ham Zhenjiang cuisine, salted shrimp sprinkled with pepper.

Assorted pickles poured with sesame oil, fragrant rice porridge with viscose glue ... "

Gourmets all know that Huaiyang cuisine has been called the four major cuisines in China together with Sichuan, Shandong and Guangdong cuisines since ancient times. Pay special attention to the original taste, pay attention to pyrotechnics, and be good at stewing. The taste is light and delicious, and the sweetness is moderate.

For Yangzhou people, lunch is definitely the highlight of the day. When three or five friends get together, they will say, "How about finding a place to have a little fun?" This means drinking and eating. It always sounds pleasant to say that drinking with the word "elegance" attached.

However, the last two words of "Xiaoyahazi" must be pronounced in the local dialect, which is strong enough. Read "hazi" as "hazai"; If you use "Beijing film" to read it, it won't have that taste.

Yangzhou cuisine is best represented by "three heads" (grilled whole pig head, braised silver carp head and crab powder lion head). This is the most famous "three-headed banquet" in Yangzhou.

let's talk about roasting pig's head first. Scrape a suckling pig's head, remove both ears and eyes, remove bones and brains, soak it in clear water to remove blood stains, blanch it in boiling water for 2 minutes, and then rinse it in clear water. Cook it twice like this, and take it out when it is seven ripe.

put bamboo mats, ginger slices, scallions and spice bags in the pot, add a little vinegar, put the pig's head in the pot, cook it over high fire until it is done, and then simmer it for 2 hours. Until the meat is crisp and rotten and the soup is thick, you can put it on the table.

this dish is rich in flavor, sweet and salty, and smells strange.

Look: This braised silver carp head has an appetite. This dish is made from the head of silver carp, which weighs 3-4 kg and is produced in a nearby lake. It is washed with clear water, then the soybean oil is put into the pot, and then the seasoning is added, and then it is stuffy for 2 hours.

the meat of the product is delicious and delicious, and it is the best thing for tasting and eating.

steamed lion's head is a big meatball made of pork belly and crab meat. This dish, without soy sauce, is supplemented with refined salt, keeping the original color of the raw materials, putting it in a casserole, and stewing it with green leaves. Put it into a fist-sized casserole, one for each guest. After careful tasting, I only feel that its color and taste are clear but not miscellaneous. It is fragrant with meat, crab and vegetables, and the three flavors are fragrant, fresh and delicious, with endless aftertaste.

In an instant, the lion's head with crab powder slipped into the belly. At the corner of my mouth, it seems that there is still a trace of fresh fragrance ...

Look, this is one of the famous dishes in Huaiyang, "Big Boiled Dried Silk", which has been famous all over the world since the Qing Dynasty. Its main raw material is a piece of Yangzhou specialty square root, which is cut into filaments, soaked in clear water and boiling water, taken out and drained.

ham, sliced Tricholoma, auricularia auricula, shrimps and winter bamboo shoots are put into the pot; Pour the dried silk into the soup basin, sprinkle the shredded ham and shrimps on it, and serve with the soup.

When visitors arrive in Yangzhou, don't forget to order a famous dish of rivers and lakes called "soft-pocked long fish". This "soft-pocked long fish" is actually a delicious food made from eel. The Jianghuai region is rich in eel, which is tender, delicious and nutritious.

In ancient times, live eels were wrapped in gauze, put into a boiling pot with onion, ginger, salt and vinegar, and then boiled until the fish was curled and the mouth was opened. Take its meat and cook it. After cooking, the fish is very mellow and tender. It is picked up with chopsticks and hangs down at both ends, just like a child's chest.

When eating, you can hold it with a spoon, hence the name "soft-pocketed long fish".

Walking through the streets of Yangzhou, visitors will find that Yangzhou's food is not only Huaiyang cuisine, but also has many special snacks. All kinds of famous spots that are peddled in the streets and alleys have fascinated diners at home and abroad.

Yangzhou's famous points: three-ding buns, thousand-layer oil cakes, double sesame crisp cakes, jade siu mai, dried vegetable buns, wild duck vegetable buns, glutinous rice siu mai, steamed dumplings with crab roe, chejiao siu mai and shredded chicken rolls.

top ten snacks: bamboo shoot fried dumpling, Yangzhou cake, crab shell yellow, fried eggs, salty pot cake, radish crisp cake, shredded chicken, three fresh pot cake, sweet-scented osmanthus sugar lotus root porridge and three-color oil dumplings.

Top Ten Special Snacks: Sixi dumplings, raw lotus root clips, tofu rolls, bamboo shoots, red bean dumplings, five-kernel cakes, onion crisp cakes, Huangqiao biscuits, shrimp dumpling noodles and bamboo shoots wonton.

Of course, when tourists arrive in Yangzhou, no one will forget to taste the famous Yangzhou fried rice.

In Yangzhou, there is a popular food that people like, and that is the famous Yangzhou Goose. Every evening, just watch it: this local feature can be seen everywhere on the streets and lanes.

Even the famous Book "The Record of Yangzhou Original Boats" has a detailed account of Yangzhou Old Goose.

Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things. You have to bow down and appreciate it personally, so as not to be a Yangzhou person in vain.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, it's time for Yangzhou people to eat "afternoon". People in business go to higher-end tea houses; Ordinary people wait for a bowl of noodles or wonton, get a sesame seed cake or two pot stickers, and fill their stomachs.

Four meals a day have passed. In other cities, people will calm down, watch TV, wash and sleep. But Yangzhou people still have a snack. The time to eat supper is usually around midnight, and there are night shift workers, mahjong players, singing and dancing, bathing and talking about business ….

This last meal has a variety of colors, from snacks to stir-fry. There are many people in Yangzhou who are "good couples". These people like to "get two glasses of small wine boobs" or "get two mahazi".

note: the last two words are still "Ha Zai". Look: Gaoyou's duck eggs are named "Double Yellow Duck Eggs" because there are two yolks in one egg, which is very famous. Ducks give birth to double yellow because the water is good and the food is good. Ducks are strong and ovulate continuously, forming double yellow or even triple yellow.

Gaoyou salted duck eggs are famous for their red color and rich oil. Boil and cut open the double yellow salted duck eggs, the protein is like coagulated white jade, and the yolk is like red orange dripping pills, which is pleasing to the eye and unique in flavor.

two or three confidants, four or five kinds of side dishes, and six or seven kinds of old wine will be "high" for a change. So, you see: on the wine table, all the words that are stiff are shocking.

that's a big talk. Anyway, there is no tax. Just say it when you are happy. That little wine was really like a fairy, and it was enjoyable.

At night, I sit with my friends and have a drink by the Millennium Grand Canal flowing through the city. Talking about the past encounter with delicious food, accompanied by fine wine, I couldn't help feeling extremely at one time-I felt that it was a particularly happy thing to have a healthy life and a plain and suitable life.

whether you eat the best food is already a secondary matter ......
