The "Ancient" Period of Lotus Leaf Rice
According to legend, before Chen Gaozu Chen Baxian became Abatti Giresse Concorde, he was ordered to lead troops to guard Jingkou town as the prefect of Huiji in Liang Dynasty.
At that time, Beiqi attacked Jingkou with 70,000 troops, and Chen Baxian defended Jingkou. The two sides confronted each other for more than a month. Beiqi soldiers besieged the city, and the soldiers and civilians in Jingkou City were short of food. When people nearby heard about it, they all tried to support Chen Jun. It was summer and the lotus leaves were full of ponds. The people picked lotus leaves to make rice, put duck meat and vegetables on them, and secretly sent them to Jingkou City to help Chen Baxian win the battle. Later, Chen Baxian became the emperor of Chen State and often ate this special food. Since then, lotus leaf rice has gradually spread and become a traditional delicacy in Guangdong, which has been passed down to this day.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Zhi Zhu Ci in Yangcheng wrote: "The lotus leaves in Pantang are lotus ponds, and the sisters are busy picking them. Don't pick lotus leaves, rice bags are more fragrant than lotus leaves. " The words have been sung and refined.
Although lotus leaf rice is a summer food, it can be eaten in a bowl in winter, and it has a special taste, so the latest launch of Dexin Yangtze River Cuisine Restaurant is particularly surprising. Dexin Changjiang Restaurant is a branch of Changjiang Restaurant. While inheriting the hot pot tradition of the head office, it is also famous for its delicious refreshments. Exquisite products and lotus leaf rice naturally make people look forward to it.

The most attractive product of Dexin Changjiang Cuisine House is preserved lotus leaf rice. Select high-quality Huangyuan bacon, wrap it in lotus leaves and steam it with rice. The oil oozing from the bacon was absorbed by lotus leaves and rice, leaving only the smell of bacon. It is also very important to choose rice for steamed lotus leaf rice. Ordinary rice is good, while Thai fragrant rice and the like will "interfere" the absorption of natural lotus fragrance by rice itself, and high-quality silk seedling rice is the best.
When the steamed rice is served, you have to hold your appetite.
