Buddha, pounce on the tiger

Region determines the diet.

The spicy soup must have been born beside the Shahe (Shaying River system), such as Beiwudu and Xiaoyao Town. The humidity during water transportation and the fatigue of dock workers can be neutralized and nourished in the spicy soup.

It’s not surprising that roast chicken is associated with Daokou. Where is the crossing? Huaxian County, what kind of place is Huaxian County? Granary. "Sliding and dredging, taking care of Jiuzhou" is what I mean here. When there is plenty of food, it is natural to raise chickens. When there are many chickens, it is natural to think of ways to eat chickens. Roasting chicken is the simplest and smartest way to get the full flavor among all eating methods. Think about it, the boat passengers going east and west on the pier pay the money with one hand and pick up the chicken with the other. They can eat delicious food without touching the iron pot. If you pair it with two ounces of soju, it will be so happy that it feels like Tianjin is right in front of you.

Food is closely related to regional characteristics. Water transportation gives birth to delicious food, but what about mountainous areas, places with mountains and rivers?

The first thing I ate in Luoning was the local delicacy, pudding. I'm very curious about this name. When the word "Bu Bu" came out of Luoning's mouth in dialect, it was like people from the Western Regions calling a bird's name, which sounded good but was incomprehensible. I like dialects so much, and the more incomprehensible they are, the more attractive they are to me. I looked at the store owner with doubtful eyes, full of question marks. The shop owner said it again in a slow voice, as if he was breaking down the words: Confused is confused, and radish is derived from radish. Hey, now it’s clear. I often drink silly noodles and eat radishes, but how can these two things be combined?

I was shocked when the radish was served. Wasn’t it the promised radish cooked in glutinous rice noodles? Why did it become noodles? Some diners have revealed the secret, this is not noodles, but shredded pancakes. It turns out that local porcelain cakes are used, cut into shredded noodles, and then mixed with vegetables and broth to make them mushy.

The paste is delicious. It not only firmly controls the taste buds of the locals, but also strongly attracts me, a foreign foodie. I first took out a piece of chopsticks to paste the pu strips, and chewed the taste. It was indeed fragrant, chewy, mellow and long-lasting. He took another sip of the soup, which was as thick as camellia oleifera. Quite original. This is far more delicious than the pulled, pulled noodles or knife-cut noodles on the market.

The food must contain the temperament of the local people.

Another one of Luoning’s famous jelly dumplings is even more amazing. Compared with Pou Bu, this famous dish has much more distinct cultural meaning and dietary characteristics. It can be said to be the top dish on the Luoning people’s dining table and the first choice for the New Year’s Day meal.

If you have money but don’t have money, you can go home to celebrate the New Year. If you have money, you can eat meat on the first day of the new year.

I don’t know much about what Luoning people eat for New Year’s Eve dinner, but every household eats jelly dumplings at the beginning of the new year.

The jelly dumplings are another mix of ingredients. I never thought that jelly could be mixed with dumplings, but the Luoning people had this wonderful idea. Good food makes for a good marriage.

If the drama is not enough, Wu comes to join in. There are not many dumplings, and the jelly is delicious. Dumplings are the protagonist and jelly is the supporting role. Two things combined into one, perfect. Luoning's potato starch has always been a good material. The jelly made from this is almost the same as soy products. We often hear the saying of tofu meat. If Luoning's jelly is mixed with meat, it is really difficult to distinguish. At worst, it looks like aspic.

Think about this scene again: a mouthful of dumplings, a mouthful of jelly, meat and aspic, and a mouthful of delicious food.

If you want to eat vegetarian dumplings, it will be equally unique if served with jelly.

All food has answers. ??

The answer to Luoning’s food is its geographical environment.

Luoning mountains, rivers and plateaus gather together to strangle the exit of the canyon. It has been the ancient road leading from Guanzhong to Luobian since ancient times. Have you ever remembered that Xiaohannan Road? It passes through Luoning. Thinking about Yanling Pass, my heart feels cold.

Ancient roads, like Cao Road, are places where delicious food is born. There are many business travelers on the ancient road. They like fast food, fast food that is both delicious and not hungry. Paste and jelly dumplings came into being. Look at the cake, it's originally a porcelain cake, which is delicious, can withstand hunger, and is easy to carry around. Those who are short of time can take the cake with them at any time. Those who have plenty of time start making fuss about the cake. Can they cut and stew it, boil it, stew it, add some vegetables, add some condiments, and simmer some soup? Wouldn’t that be more delicious? ? If you do this, it will be delicious.

As for the jelly dumplings, both have many health benefits. Also suitable for walkers. After a delicious meal, you might be able to run from Luoning to the old town of Luoyang in one go, and then drink the soup again.

Luoning is a magical place, with both Luoshu and mountains and rivers.

Two mountains sandwich a river, in the middle of the Luo River. The county is full of treasures, and people are arguing about it.

I always like to think wildly. Do you believe that after eating a piece of cake, my energy will suddenly increase and I will pounce on the tiger?
