Food, as its name implies, is delicious food, including delicacies and street snacks. In fact, food is neither noble nor cheap, as long as it is what you like, you can call it food. The following is what I have collected for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is for reference only. Welcome to read it.

Zhejiang

The reason why the water shield bass stew in Hangzhou has become a dish at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is not only because the water shield bass after the Mid-Autumn Festival is delicious, but also because Hans Zhang borrowed "water shield and bass" in Jin Dynasty to become a symbol of homesickness and return to his hometown to live alone, which has become a beautiful talk for generations. Water shield is the seasonal dish soup of the month at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. Water shield, also known as horseshoe grass and watercress, is an aquatic plant. The roots, stems and leaves of water shield are not only green and fragrant, fresh and delicious, but also nutritious. Water shield can be picked in spring and autumn, and most of them taste better in autumn.

Beijing

The traditional moon cakes in old Beijing include naturally invited white and naturally invited red moon cakes. Mooncake with syrup lifting refers to a method of making the crust of mooncakes. It is said that the popular point of "syrup lifting" is to boil syrup, and a certain proportion of big oil should be added to the crust to make it crisp. When Muslims buy it, they change the big oil into butter. This kind of moon cake is characterized by crispy skin and fragrant stuffing, and "old Beijing" loves it in the Mid-Autumn Festival. In terms of dishes, crabs are fat in August and autumn, and Mid-Autumn Festival is the time to taste crabs, especially in Beijing.

Fujian

People in Fujian have the custom of eating ducks in the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is the fattest season for ducks. Fujian people use the betel nut taro rich in Fujian to cook with ducks, which is called roast duck with betel nut taro. It tastes very good.

Shandong

Jimo and other places eat a seasonal food called "wheat arrow" during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Shanxi

Lu 'an people will entertain their son-in-law in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Datong county moon cakes are called reunion cakes, which are as big as two or three feet, and there is a custom of vigil in mid-autumn night.

Shaanxi

On mid-autumn night in Xixiang County, men went boating on the cliff, and women also arranged a beautiful banquet. No matter rich or poor, people must eat watermelons, which must be cut into lotus shapes.

Shanghai

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Shanghai is accompanied by osmanthus honey wine.

Jiangsu

In addition to moon cakes, Nanjing people must eat osmanthus duck, a famous Jinling dish. "Sweet-scented osmanthus duck" should be in the market when cinnamon is fragrant, fat but not greasy, and delicious. After drinking, you must eat a small piece of sugar taro and pour it with cinnamon pulp. The beauty goes without saying. "Cinnamon pulp" is named after Qu Yuan's "Songs of the South, Less Commandments" and "Helping the North to close its doors and drink cinnamon pulp". Cinnamomum cassia pulp, a sweet osmanthus, was picked around the Mid-Autumn Festival and pickled with sugar and sour plum. Women in the south of the Yangtze River are handy and turn the chanting in poems into delicacies on the table. Nanjing people enjoy the moon with their families, which is called "celebrating reunion", group sitting and drinking is called "full moon", and traveling in the market is called "walking on the moon".

Sichuan

Besides eating moon cakes, Sichuanese also kill ducks, eat sesame cakes, honey cakes and so on in the Mid-Autumn Festival. In western Sichuan, smoked ducks are a must-have for Mid-Autumn Festival, because at that time, the raw ducks had grown up and were fat and thin. The master selects the ducklings born in the same year, removes all feathers after slaughter, gut them, washes them, removes the wing tips and duck feet, marinates them with salt for one night, scalds them slightly in boiling water until their skins are tight, removes them, puts them in a smoking stove, smokes them with straw until they are brown, takes them out of the oven, marinates them in a pot, and changes the knife to a plate when eating, thus obtaining the smoked duck with golden red color, tender meat and strong smoke smell. The preparation of brine is very important in making smoked duck. Old bittern should be used for bittern, and timely spices, salt and sugar color should be added every time bittern is marinated. When bittern is marinated, the duck should be fully pressed into bittern with heavy objects, and the marinating time is generally about 2 minutes. If the time is too long, the duck meat will be old, which will affect the quality and taste.

Guangdong

There are many kinds of Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies in Chaoshan, which has a lot to do with the cultural connotation of the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrated by Chaozhou people, the climate in Chaozhou and the agricultural production. It can be mainly divided into three categories: first, cakes, moon cakes from all over Chaoshan, sweet, salty, meaty, assorted and multi-flavored. There are also cakes, soft cakes and cloud cakes, all of which are Mid-Autumn Festival cakes, which are good for hipsters to send relatives. It can be said that it is a custom for hipsters to send moon cakes to relatives. Second, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the tidal region, when the sky is crisp and the fruit is ripe, pomelo, persimmon, carambola, pineapple, pomegranate, olive and banana are another kind of food for the hipsters in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Third, agricultural taro and pumpkin, which are used by hipsters to make taro paste and melon pulp, are also popular among hipsters. Among them, the Mid-Autumn Moon Cake is an annual traditional food for hipsters. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is not a Chaoshan person who doesn't taste the moon cake. Although moon cakes can have various shapes and Chaoshan areas have their own characteristics, they all have the same feature, that is, they are required to be round. Taro, Ciba, etc. are also necessary for hipsters in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhejiang

The reason why the water shield bass stew in Hangzhou has become a dish at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is not only because the water shield bass is delicious at this time, but also because of the historical fact that Hans Zhang abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown in the Jin Dynasty by borrowing the "water shield and bass" from homesickness. This story has not only become an eternal beauty talk, but also made water shield become homesick. Water shield is a Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner and a seasonal dish soup in August. Water shield, also known as horseshoe grass and watercress, is an aquatic perennial leafy grass plant. The roots, stems and leaves of water shield are not only green and fragrant, fresh and delicious, but also nutritious.

Guizhou

Guizhou-style moon cakes are different from Cantonese-style moon cakes. They are baked by mixing 5 grams of flour, pork suet, sugar syrup and water to form a water-oil skin. 25 grams of flour is mixed with lard and rubbed into "dry pastry". After dosing separately, the dry pastry is wrapped in water-oil skin, and the pastry is made into 4 grams of pastry blanks, and then each pastry is pressed into a round cake skin for later use. Bake sesame seeds, melon seeds and walnuts, chop them into fine particles, mix them, add cooked ham powder, jujube, melon paste, cooked flour, rock sugar and salt, and mix well to form a filling. A proper amount of stuffing is wrapped in the skin blank, closed downwards, pressed into an oblate shape, put into an oiled baking pan, and baked in an oven with a top fire of 21℃ and a bottom fire of 18℃ for 15 to 2 minutes until the surface is golden and the inside is mature. Golden color, crisp shell and distinct layers; The stuffing is sweet and salty, sweet and refreshing, and rich in nutrition. The master said that the pastry layer should be thin and even, and a piece of white oil paper should be put on the baking tray when the moon cake blank is put into the baking tray.
