I was born in a quiet small county in Chuzhou, Anhui province, and my hometown hasn't changed much until I joined the army. In recent years, with the development of economy, my hometown has also started to develop. Roads are open to traffic, and buildings have sprung up, but compared with the life in my hometown in big cities, it is still slow and leisurely.

If China is a big eater's empire, my hometown is a famous eater's hometown in the eater's empire, where everyone loves to eat, and the northern and southern cuisines gather here. Let's share it with you.

1. Leiguan salted duck

If Nanjing is the hometown of salted duck and roast duck, Lai 'an, which is close to Nanjing, has also been influenced by Nanjing, but there are still subtle differences in the taste of ducks. The taste of ducks in Lai 'an is more tender and the duck marinade is lighter.

Second, Shuikou old goose pot

There is nothing that an old goose pot can't solve. If it really doesn't work, have another meal. It is essential for friends and relatives to get together and entertain guests and friends, especially in winter, when a steaming pot of old goose is served, it will definitely have face.

Third, Tuncang Fish Pot Paste

If you want to say what is the freshest and most beautiful dish, there is no doubt that it is the fish pot paste, especially the fish pot paste in Laian Tuncang Reservoir, which tastes the most authentic. A slightly spicy fish pot paste will definitely make you feel glad you came.

Fourth, Zhang Shan dog meat

First of all, I declare that I don't eat dog meat myself. I was a good boy when I was a child. I lost my temper for the first time after my big black dog was killed, but my family couldn't help me. In the end, no one ate it, and I buried it under a big tree with a diameter of nearly 8 cm near my fish pond. But everyone in our county knows that Zhang Shan's dog meat is the most authentic.

5. Spring rolls in Lai 'an

Spring rolls are the most indispensable dish on the dinner table during the Spring Festival every year, and they are often swept away as soon as they are served. Before the Chinese New Year, every family will buy some spring rolls, and when they go back, they will prepare their own fillings and fry them according to their tastes, which will be a good product for the Spring Festival dinner and for entertaining relatives and friends.

6. Lai 'an Fruit Sweet Soup

This is essential for banquets, and it is often robbed by children as soon as it is served. Nowadays, many places use canned fruits instead, or put a lot of fruits and fermented grains. The sweet soup in my hometown is different, and it is made of glutinous rice dumplings, sago, red dates, tremella, oranges, etc., and it is sweet and sour.

Seven, stir-fry snails

Order a plate of stir-fry snails, a few kebabs and a few bottles of beer. This is the perfect nightlife in a small town. I don't know how many screws are destroyed in a small town every year. This is the most popular snack before the rise of crayfish, and it can still compete with crayfish.

Eight, Shuikou Feifei

Four ducks are sold in other places. Only Shuikou sells wings and claws together, and it has a name Feifei. Every time I go back to my hometown and drive past Shuikouji, I will buy two pairs as snacks.
