Yangzhou's three-head banquet has a long history.

This ancient Jiangnan people made delicious dishes in order to retain and entertain guests.

And the method is quite complicated, but the taste is really long-lasting.

Let me give you a detailed analysis below.

When traveling, you should not only have fun, but also try local specialties and delicacies, and have a good meal to satisfy your appetite.

In Yangzhou, the most unforgettable thing is Yangzhou's "Three Heads".

Although several years have passed, now that I think about it, my teeth and cheeks are still full of fluid.

The "three heads" in Yangzhou refer to stewed lion head with crabmeal, stewed silver carp head, and roasted whole pig head.

Stewed lion head and stewed silver carp head. When I went to Yangzhou last time, I made a special trip to find a place.

I tried it on purpose and must give it a thumbs up.

It is indeed real.

Stewed Crab Meal and Lion Head As a Northeastern person, I am sometimes very stubborn, or stubborn.

hehe, me too.

I always think of myself as a "lion head", but is it just a smaller sized Four-Head?

The difference may lie in the cooking techniques and process routes of stewing, frying and stir-frying.

How can this meatball be called "lion head"?

What's more, a plate of four Sixi meatballs and soup in the Northeast, and Yangzhou stewed crab meat and lion's head only cost one cup.

It's not big and the price is not low either.

It’s not right that Southerners know how to do business.

I didn’t know it until I ate crab meat stewed lion head.

Steamed Pork Balls In this story, I think of the time when Yang Di was cruising along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

"All the states and counties I've been to have been ordered to provide food within a 500-mile radius." Emperor Yang Di is very tempting, funny and creative.

He had a sudden idea and ordered the accompanying chef to prepare Italian dishes based on the four famous scenic spots in Yangzhou: Wansong Mountain, Qian Dun, Ivory Forest and Sunflower Hill.

It is said that "Sunflower Cutting Meat" is the predecessor of "Lion Head".

Later, in the Tang Dynasty, a royal family celebrated her birthday and held a banquet to entertain guests and friends.

The chefs in the government are constantly innovating on these four famous dishes created by Yang Di. The dishes they produce are beautiful in color, aroma, taste and shape, which astonish the guests.

Especially the "Sunflower Chopped Pork" is so beautiful, the meat balls have a high-spirited momentum, like a "lion's head".

During the dinner, someone suggested changing the name of "Sunflower Chopped Meat" to "Lion Head".

Because of its shape and taste, everyone responded.

Since then, Yangzhou's famous dish "lion head" has become famous.

After eating stewed crab meat and lion head, I realized that Huaiyang cuisine pays attention to fine knife skills, meticulous preparation, and pursues the original flavor of the ingredients.

This "lion head" seems to be not much different from Sixi Meatballs, but in fact the difference is very slight, and the difference is thousands of miles.

For example, "lion head" is made of meat slices and water chestnuts.

It tastes soft and crispy, fat but not greasy, and has an excellent taste.

But Sixi Meatballs are made of minced meat mixed with starch, so they lost out first in the selection of ingredients.

Braised Silver Carp Head Yangzhou's fish head is made from silver carp produced along the Yangtze River. It is large, tender and delicious.

Dismantling means cutting the fish head into two parts, washing it with water, cooking it until it is boneless and removing the fish bones.

Braised in a lard fryer and seasoned; the ingredients should be ham, spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, shrimp, etc.

Make it refreshing for them.

The fish head stewed in this way is very tasty, the fish meat is fresh and tender, the soup is rich, and it is super delicious.

But when it comes to roasting whole pig heads, it reminds me that the last time I went to Yangzhou, the store didn’t sell it to us.

The reason is that there are few of us and we cannot eat a big pig head.

When we got to the counter they were right.

On that trip, we only had two brothers.

They are delicious, but their stomachs are not big.

A pig's head weighs ten pounds, and we couldn't eat it after ordering it.

The shopkeeper didn't sell or take it away, so he had to lick his lips, look at the red and fragrant roasted pig head, and put it there with a smile.

Come on, forget about that pig head.

While it's still early, let's go for a walk by Slender West Lake.

The scenery of Slender West Lake is so beautiful. For some reason, it suddenly reminded me of a line from the Qing Dynasty "Looking to the South of the Yangtze River", and I blurted out: "Yangzhou is good, Fahai Temple is leisurely. Virtual Harr God, I'm going in circles."
