Jiexiu's dietary customs

Shili's rural customs are different. Here is a brief introduction to Jiexiu's dietary customs.

Jiexiu people only eat two meals a day without breakfast. There is a saying in the folk proverb: "Golden Queen at noon and 169 at noon"-Golden Queen and 169 are varieties of corn and sorghum-that is to say, eat cornmeal steamed corn bread at noon and eat red noodles at noon. However, this is just what people expected in the old days. The local crops are mainly wheat and sorghum. Most people grind sorghum with some soybeans and eat red corn. It was not until after liberation that corn was planted on a large scale that the Golden Queen was eaten at noon every day!

In the old days, there was no electric light, so the afternoon meal was definitely before the lantern. After lunch, it will be noon the next day, and the interval is too long. In the past, living conditions made it impossible to have abundant meals, and physical exertion needed to be supplemented. Therefore, everyone who goes to the fields and goes to school should bring some dry food. In the 195s, three meals a day was advocated, which was limited to institutions and schools. Since then, there have been breakfast stalls on the streets of towns. However, most local people buy a sesame seed cake and bring it to the class to make up for it. Until now, many people still don't fire in the morning; Farmers' children are studying in boarding schools. After morning exercises, they go directly to the classroom instead of the canteen. They are used to it. It's just that snacks are flooding the market now, which is much more convenient. Three kinds of harmony can not be separated from three kinds of harmony: salt, vinegar and hemp seeds.

taste is a handful of salt. In the past, people lived a poor life and fished up a bowl of noodles. The dishes were simple and particularly weak, so they had to add some salt. Now people's lives have changed greatly, and there are all kinds of dishes. We still need to adjust some salt and get used to it! It's no exaggeration to say that my old wife is addicted to vinegar. Every year in late autumn, almost every family uses mustard to make a jar of sauerkraut, which can be used to mix noodles. Sour taste is not vinegar, but a spoonful of vinegar should be mixed.

Jiexiu calls spicy hemp, and hemp seeds are Chili noodles. Many people have special iron utensils, which are shaped like garlic bowls and slightly larger. Bake dried red pepper with fire until crisp, and grind it into powder for later use. Jiexiu people eat Chili as much as Hunan people and Sichuan people, and a bowl of white noodles is simply "dyed" red. I didn't say anything empty. When you go to Mianshan, you need to have dinner in Jiexiu. Whether you go to a small restaurant or a big restaurant, these three kinds of harmony must be placed on the table. Four dishes at ordinary times, guests at home need four dishes to show enthusiasm and solemnity. These four dishes can be rich and frugal, but they are also well-prepared, cold and hot. When entertaining guests in winter, put a plate of mustard silk in it, cut the pork head into thin slices and cover it with a full plate. If life is tight, a plate of fried tofu with shrimp sauce is also a move. This is an old saying. Nowadays, entertaining guests, even if they have a light meal, is a dish of dishes, and they no longer bother to piece together four dishes.
