when you come to this world, you must feel the beauty of this world. Here is Xiao Fang talking about travel, taking you to explore mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
speaking of Jiangxi, which city do you think of first? Nanchang, the bustling provincial capital; Ganzhou, an ancient city with a long history; It is also the world-famous porcelain capital Jingdezhen; Or Jiujiang, the city that was once the capital of Chen and Han dynasties? The place that Xiaofang will introduce today is not any of these cities, but Pingxiang, Jiangxi, which is known as the thoroughfare of Hunan and Jiangxi and the throat of Wu Chu.
As we all know, Jiangxi is also a big spicy province. Jiangxi people love spicy food, not ordinary spicy, spicy, sour and spicy, but pure spicy. It is no exaggeration to say that Jiangxi's spicy food can make people in Sichuan and Hunan flinch. In all the spicy areas in Jiangxi, Pingxiang's ability to eat spicy food can dominate the whole province.
According to the survey, it is common for an ordinary Pingxiang citizen to have five boxes of dried Chili powder in the refrigerator. Pingxiang people eat peppers in vegetables, which are a combination of dried peppers and fresh peppers, and they love to chop peppers and pursue the stimulation of taste buds.
Pingxiang people love spicy and salty food, and it is said that it is one of the top ten cities in China that can eat spicy food. In other places, pepper is a condiment at most, while in Pingxiang, pepper is as important as a main course.
Therefore, Pingxiang cuisine has also been rated as the hottest cuisine in Jiangxi. Among many Pingxiang cuisines, the most famous one is Lotus Blood Duck. This is a famous traditional dish in Lianhua County, Pingxiang City. It tastes pure and unique, fat but not greasy, fresh and delicious.
The so-called "blood duck" means that the duck meat is chopped and cooked together with the blood of the duck. After the duck meat is chopped, it will be fully tasty, and it will be eaten with a spoon or poured on rice, which is very delicious.
Lotus Blood Duck is an out-and-out home-cooked dish, which is deeply loved by every Pingxiang people. The most authentic lotus blood duck should be selected from local free-range ducks and carefully cooked with yellow wine, tea oil, bright red pepper and other seasonings. Every Spring Festival, you will see this dish at the family banquet of Pingxiang people.
There is a saying: "There are 3 grams of blood ducks every day, so I don't hesitate to be a lotus man." Pingxiang people's love for blood ducks is also manifested in the fact that the soup of blood ducks is reluctant to pour, and they usually stay to mix noodles or powder, which creates a delicious taste in the world.
There is a historical story about the origin of Lotus Blood Duck. According to legend, in 1276 AD, the Yuan army captured Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was a diligent king. He came to Lianhua county, ready to drink "chicken blood wine" with local strong men, and blood for the alliance. At that time, chickens were not found, and Lianhua County was rich in ducks, so they used duck blood to make wine.
Liu Delin, a cook in the army, mistook the unfinished duck blood wine for hot sauce and poured it into the pot. I didn't want to. There was a spicy smell in the pot, and I saw the dishes were mushy and purple in color.
When the duck was brought to the table, Wen Tianxiang tasted it and was full of praise. He asked, "Why is this dish?" Liu Delin made a mistake and replied: It's a local specialty, called "Lotus Blood Duck". This dish got its name and has been handed down from generation to generation.
as the folk saying goes, "It's simply ridiculous not to taste the duck when passing through the lotus." It can be seen that blood duck has become a representative of Lianhua County. In all local restaurants in urban and rural areas, the main dish must be "Lotus Blood Duck". This special dish must be the first choice for foreign tourists.
However, some tourists were not very optimistic about this dish at first. Because the authentic blood duck method does not put green onions and green peppers, the color of the whole duck meat mixed with duck blood and a little garlic and pepper is not good-looking, and even affects appetite. Many tourists rated it as the "ugliest" food.
although the appearance is not very good, there is no doubt that it contains delicious food. There are also many tourists who have discovered the magic of this dish after tasting it. In 29, "Lotus Blood Duck" successfully declared the provincial intangible cultural heritage. Nine years later, it was rated as one of the top ten classic dishes in Jiangxi. However, it should be noted that this dish is really spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, please choose carefully.
