Mr. Zhang Bijin, a local cultural celebrity in Chenxi, said: "As a cultured Chenxi person, we should show the historical humanities and geographical landscape of Chenxi in writing so that more people can understand the magic and beauty of Chenxi." Food is the epitome of local culture. So I wrote something about long-haired dogs.

Food is the deepest homesickness.
A friend who is far away in a foreign land once said to me, "Hometown is not just an address, but a life history. Hometown is the taste and memory of food. "
Hometown of the soul
Store childhood dreams.
In my childhood dreams,
It's all the smell of hometown
And the smell of hometown
It's all in my cat ditch memory ...
In fact, every city has a taste.
And the hairy dog is the model and ultimate taste of the morning light. There are all kinds of tastes in the city, and there are naturally many delicious things, but compared with the morning hair ditch, they all lack a distinct personality. Authentic fur dog, unique dishes, exquisite cooking and wonderful taste are amazing. As soon as Mao Gou served the table, other dishes suddenly turned pale, as if there was a feeling that "the makeup of the Sixth Palace faded into nothing".
As the saying goes, "dog meat can't be served at the main table." The biggest contribution of Chenxi cats and dogs is to make simple dishes to the extreme and dirty ingredients to the top of the table.
Gourmet appreciation; A hundred dishes are delicious, one dish is a grid. "Fragrant, spicy, fresh, crisp, spicy and red" are the six wonders of cats and dogs, and spicy is the soul of cats and dogs.
People in Chenxi love chili so much that they don't like spicy food. They even have a mantra "seven meals of Chili". One is red pepper, which represents prosperity; Second, pepper stimulates nerves and provokes taste buds. When the spicy hairy dog meat gradually blooms on the taste buds, just like the budding red plum in Shan Ye, it is stained with seasonal colors bit by bit and blooms for the first time at the dinner table. There seems to be an irresistible temptation that spreads from the tip of chopsticks to the tip of the tongue and suddenly reaches the apex of the heart. The taste on the tip of the tongue is the throb of the soul, the most beautiful memory in the taste and the deepest feeling in my hometown!

Cooking is a culture and an art.
Cooking cats and dogs is also a process of artistic creation and exhibition, just like writing articles and painting landscapes, there is naturally a natural interest in it.
In the kitchen, pots and pans are scattered, flames are flowing, and the chef's movements are as beautiful as dancing. Before eating dog meat, I enjoyed a visual feast first.
The selection of fur dogs is exquisite, and there is a saying that "one yellow, two black, three flowers and four whites". That is, the dog's coat color determines the taste of dog meat. Yellow dogs are the best and white dogs are the worst. And the requirements for oil products are also very high. One of the stunts of frying dogs is to fry dogs with oil and tea. Mastering the temperature is one of the most difficult essences in cooking, and the hairy dog fried with dry firewood and iron pot will have unexpected effects and tastes. But these are just tools and means. Talent is the key to stir-fry delicious and hairy dog meat. The food is delicious and affectionate, and only when you are in a good mood can you make good food.
Dialogue with dishes to discuss the origin and characteristics of food. It was discovered that in an ordinary meal and a dish, a spiritual concept and realm can be sublimated. A dish is a story, and a dog meat is also a culture. Rich and long-standing civilization-China's food culture is fully displayed in pots and pans.
In the oil pan, dog meat collides with the frying spoon and churns like a sudden spring. The gentle flame licked the bottom of the pot and made an attractive hiss, which suddenly awakened the greedy bugs in their mouths. "The saliva goes straight to thousands of feet, just because the dog meat in the pot smells good!"
Eating is a process of enjoyment. The most refreshing way to eat a hairy dog is to put a piece of oily but not greasy hairy dog meat and drink a pure and authentic grass koji rice wine. The fusion of dog meat and rice wine makes the dog meat crispy and the local wine fragrant. The taste is clear and mellow, and there is a kind of happiness that can only be understood but cannot be expressed. My heart suddenly rises, and it tastes like flowers in full bloom! If eating a fur dog is like eating a stone coat, then eating a rice wine fur dog is like watching Zhu Da, a man from Badashan, with higher taste and style.
I have been to many places.
See the end of time.
Now people are in a foreign land.
Miss the dog meat in my hometown.
Can't help crying.
Chinese food has thousands of flavors.
Only dogs and hair don't forget each other. ...
(Note: Cats and dogs are actually a complete dog. That is, the dog that Chenxi people call. The production of fur dogs originated in Huangxikou Yao mountainous area. Wash the dog's hair, chop it into one-inch square pieces, cut the dog's intestines into three-inch long pieces, and tear the dog's liver and stomach into pieces with a knife. Then pour the cut dog meat into the pot, blanch it with boiling water and take it out, then burn the hot oil in the pot and fry the dog meat with seasoning. Stir-fry until 70% cooked, add dog offal and stir-fry for a while, add appropriate amount of water to stew, add sour orange leaves and stir-fry until juice is quickly collected, and quickly add dog blood and oil pepper when taking out of the pot. A pot of delicious hairy dogs can be served. )
