It's easy and difficult to eat these days. It's easy to say that there must be a restaurant when you go out for 1 meters, and you can order and drink everything; It is difficult to say that it is difficult because people are tired of eating chicken, duck and fish, eating delicacies, eating rural farmers and finding a special dish to eat. It is by no means an easy task. One sentence I often hear is "What should I eat?" Therefore, the operators also do what they like, dig their brains and do everything possible to be novel and delicious. All kinds of strange ways of eating have blossomed everywhere. Zhengding's cultural heritage is deeper than Zhuangli's, and so is the food culture: Majiaji, Liujiaji, Haojiaji ribs, historian's eager meatballs, steamed bowls with pork elbow flowers, even a small jar oven biscuit and a piece of brine tofu, all of which taste purer than the star-rated hotels in Zhuangli. The tauren banquet is an example. I've heard about Zhengding Tauren Banquet and I'm salivating, but I haven't had a chance to taste it. At noon on Saturday, it was drizzling. At the invitation of Fu Zhiwei, a blogger who opened a bookstore in Zhengding, a group of friends from the circle crossed Zilong Bridge by bus from Zhuangli and came to an inconspicuous halal restaurant located in the west of Zhengding East Outer Ring Road to taste the "Tauren Banquet". As the "instructor" of these gourmets, Qiu Shui also tasted such delicious food for the first time. Except that people don't eat human flesh, probably most animals and plants can't escape human teeth. "Eat, nature is also!" It is said that only Beijing and Zhengding in the north can cook this tauren banquet, and it is an authentic halal food. Several cauldrons are cooked at the same time, and a cow's head needs to be cooked for more than six hours. This requires a considerable technological process, and it is not easy to taste it all. When you come here to eat the tauren banquet, you should book it in advance and invite a large table of people to eat it together, otherwise you will have to fight for it if you can't eat. Hehe, we just took it for a ride. First, six to eight small cold dishes with wine: grilled cakes, tomatoes mixed with sugar, fried peanuts, cucumber slices and shredded tofu. The host opened a box of white wine, and several ladies sipped their drinks. Everyone exchanged greetings and looked forward to the arrival of the bull's head. Originally, I imagined that the cow's head served must be like a sacrificial offering, and the face was ferocious. People who are vegetarian and do good deeds like me can't bear to eat. After drinking for 3 days, five flavors of vegetables were tasted, and the bull's head appeared: half a steaming bull's head was placed in a stainless steel tray, covered with gloomy scallion rape, like a beautiful woman from still hiding half her face from us behind her guitar. A plate of tempting delicious food! Guests swarmed, don't think slanting, not swept away, but have picked up the camera phone "Kaka" straight flashing, as if in a news conference to open new dishes! The load has already been broadcast on Weibo! It's not easy to grab a starting position these days. The master is busy dividing with a knife. "Cowhide is not blowing!" " Even the cow's face is half an inch thick! Tear off a piece, taste it, it is smooth and refreshing, fat but not greasy, and there is no strange smell at all. Cow's brain, cow's tongue and cow's eyes, but I don't see the horn. While we were toasting each other, I searched for my favorite parts, and the meat under my eyes was thin and wispy; The skin of the face is thick and the gum is beautiful; The meat on the tongue is tender ... "Let me see the meat you sandwiched?" Mrs. Fu Zhiwei next to me said with surprise. "Ah, it's a ladder!" "The ladder is a piece of meat under the cow's tongue, and it is the best piece of meat in the tauren banquet! It is said that eating it can promote a higher position and make a fortune! " "Ha ha, I'm going to retire, eat the ladder can rise? Keep it for the next life. " I thought to myself, but I couldn't help secretly rejoicing for a while. This is the advantage of not drinking. Why are there so many Muslims in Zhengding? After returning to Zhuangli, I sent a note to ask Fan Xiufeng for an answer, but I had to go online to Baidu's Zhengding County Records: Zhengding County has a long history, and people lived here as early as the Neolithic Age. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Xianyu State established its capital here, and later it belonged to Jin. Zhengding is located at the crossroads, which is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Some ethnic minorities in the Eastern Jin Dynasty fought repeatedly here. In the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion and the separatist regime in the buffer region were the main battlefields that decided the outcome. Qidan entered Zhengding several times, and Song, Jin and Yuan fought here. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Shan Shankun, a man from a big food country, decided to collect taxes in Ren Zhen, and moved to Zhending with his family. There was a Hui nationality in Zhending County. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, three Hui people named Di, Zhao and Wu of Jiumen, and three Hui people named Ma, Bai and Li of Dingzhou successively moved to Zhending to do business, selling cattle, sheep, chicken and sticky cakes. Later, they moved in and multiplied, and the population increased. Nine gates of Zhou city, the settlement of Hui nationality. One of my colleagues has a nine-door family, and his grandfather is an imam there. He said that the barbecue there is very authentic. Would you like to eat together? If you want to go, send me a note
