If you look carefully, the delicacies described by Jin Yong are actually local dishes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Among the characters in his works, the only one who bears the title of foodie is Hong Qigong.

He has many works, and each character is lifelike.

Each one is impressive.

In addition to Hong Qigong, who is good at eating, Huang Rong, who is good at cooking, made the beggar's chicken for the master, which is a famous Suzhou dish.

The Songhe Tower where Duan Yu went was also in Suzhou.

So I think the biggest foodie in his writing should be himself.

The novel Hong Qigong is more like himself.

As Huang Rong, the most proficient cook in Jin Yong's novels, her cooking skills are extraordinary.

As for Hong Qigong, Huang Rong made it with a beggar's chicken dish.

Let's see how she did it: she cut open the belly of the rooster with an Emei steel thorn, washed and peeled off the internal organs without plucking the hair, wrapped the outside of the chicken with water and a ball of mud, and lit a fire to roast it.

After roasting for a while, a sweet aroma comes out of the mud. When the wet mud is completely dry, peel off the dry mud, and the chicken feathers will fall with the mud. The chicken will be white and tender, with a strong aroma.

From this description, we can see that Huang Rong is also a beauty who has studied food.

As a top foodie, Hong Qigong is also extraordinary.

That's also traveling around.

I have never tasted any delicacies, large or small.

When Huang Rong served other dishes to honor her master, Hong Qigong was able to accurately tell the making process and ingredients of each dish.

And the flavor differences of major cuisines across the country.

Even if you don’t have the accumulation, you can say it.

It can be seen that Hong Qigong is not an ordinary beggar. His begging life is better than that of ordinary people.

.

A scholar once commented on the descriptions of cooking in Jin Yong's works.

He said that Jin Yong's description of cooking surpassed Dream of Red Mansions.

As a Zhejiang native, Jin Yong is also using this method to show us the food culture of his hometown.

It can be said that this is both a kind of propaganda and a kind of self-satisfaction.
