Heqing is famous for its three treasures, ham, dry wine and pork belly, which is common sense known to all children.
There is a legendary and mysterious story about the origin of Heqing dry wine. It is said that this wine was tasted after a banquet in Xilongtan produced by Heqing. It feels mellow and has a cool feeling. When it is sweet, it has a faint scent of Shan Ye. After a sip, old Gan Long stopped and said, "This is really a rare wine in the world. If Du Kang were still alive, he might not be able to make such wine. " Therefore, this wine is sealed into the court as a tribute every year and paid regularly and on time. The name of this wine is also considered as dry wine. The implication is that the patent owner of this wine is him.
This can also be found in northwest Yunnan: "Lijiang Baba Heqing wine, Jianchuan carpenters are everywhere." In folk songs, it is verified. Heqing wine is very famous in northwest Yunnan, which can be said to be a household name. Heqing's famous ham, liver-blowing, pig anhydride ... Special cuisine is based on Heqing Shuijiu, and their unique cuisine is also created by Heqing Shuijiu. It has really come true: the folk proverb "one side of the soil and water will nourish one side of the people", which can prove that the water and wine side will also create the food side.
Diannan catering
The hometown of these authentic ham, blow liver and pig anhydride should be the earliest place to promote southern Yunnan in the south of Heqing Bazi. Since ancient times, culture has been advocated here. In Heqing, there is a saying that "southern culture and northern martial arts", that is, southern Yunnan pays attention to the development and cultivation of culture, while northern Yunnan mainly focuses on handicrafts. The famous handicraft town Xinhua Ethnic Village is located in the north of Diandian. It is under this profound cultural influence that women in southern Yunnan have played an important role in the unique Heqing diet. Their unique way in diet is to pursue a fine and pure natural diet with good color, flavor and taste, which can not only protect health, but also relieve appetite. Pay attention to the perfect combination of materials, knife cutting and color and fragrance, and pay more attention to the visual effect of arranging platters into utensils. Just like their favorite embroidery, they must be decorated as exquisitely and harmoniously as "red flowers and green leaves".
This concept of making food by women in southern Yunnan is the most perfect and sufficient in making ham, liver blowing, pig anhydride and the "eight bowls" with Bai flavor hosted by the Bai people. After tasting these snacks from Heqing people, we can taste all the cooking skills of women in southern Yunnan, which is just like watching a leopard.
Kill a pig
Heqing bazi entered the twelfth lunar month, and the climate became extremely cold due to the influence of Yulong Snow Mountain. In addition, there is snow water gurgling down from Yulong Snow Mountain and flowing down happily. The water is so clear and bright that it shines like a stainless steel vessel just bought from the store. This is a good time for the Bai people and every household to kill the pig, and it is also a good time to pickle ham, blow liver and cook pigs.
It's time to kill the pig. We gathered friends, relatives, colleagues and classmates in our simple yard, and everyone began to work together. The intimate atmosphere has gone beyond the meaning of killing pigs. The days of gathering are short and cheerful, which is so precious and rare in this competitive era. Everyone happily blew the vernacular, telling each other the ups and downs of this parting day. At dawn, a group of people boiled water, tied up the pigs, then shed their skins, cut off their heads and cut open their bellies. ...
Then spin out the ham and turn one end into a small piece of meat that is easy to store. Then the women knocked out the "eight bowls" of the Bai people by the pot. The sun shines warmly on the land of Heyang. After meals, you can pickle ham, blow liver and pig anhydride.
Blow liver
Fresh pig liver has been dried. At this time, the slaughtered pigs have been harvested, so they come to collect pig livers. Housewives take out oil red pepper noodles produced in Dongshan of Heqing, red pepper noodles produced in their own gardens, pure peppers with white whiskers, fragrant grass fruit noodles, finely cut shallots ... all kinds of things, as well as snow dripping from the cool Yulong Snow Mountain, and then mix them with some Heqing dry wine. As soon as these things are ready, someone is anxious to find a straw to take out the bitter pig bile. They rummaged through the trachea on the pig liver, put the mixed seasoning into the pig liver from the trachea, and after that, they blew hard into the liver with a straw, and the pig liver would keep expanding until it could not be inflated. Blow the pig liver like a burnt fat duck, and then finish the production of blowing the liver. In order to prevent the blow-dried liver from drying unevenly, it is also sandwiched between liver petals with corn kernels to prevent maggots or strange smells from appearing when it is not dried.
Spread a layer of pepper and pepper mixture on the blown pig liver and put it on the floor to dry to prevent guests from coming, or go to the grave before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day and take off the properly dried blown pig liver to entertain guests.
Sweet water blows the liver and tastes delicious.
When guests come or go to the grave, the blown pork liver should be simmered slowly, so that the seasoning inside can penetrate into all parts of the pork liver. At this time, you must never cook for too long, and of course you must be familiar with it. Cut the cooked liver-blowing slices into thin slices, which are already honeycomb-shaped. Those seasonings evenly penetrated into every part of the pork liver slices. At this moment, the original elegance and faint fragrance of liver-blowing tablets are really mouth-watering.
At this point, we haven't finished yet! It is also necessary to prepare soaking water. The seasoning dipped in water is also very particular. You should use Heqing's special lacquer vinegar (a kind of dark rice vinegar) or stewed plum or bayberry sauce, and add good coriander, spicy ginger, garlic cloves, Chili powder and pepper ... that's it, don't mention it, move chopsticks quickly, otherwise. ...
The production of Heqing air-dried liver and the choice of seasonings pay attention to pure natural quality, without any pollution, and it is called enjoyment to eat.
After eating, you will feel relaxed, happy and carefree all over. This is because Heqing has the effects of blowing liver fire, cooling blood, detoxification and ventilation, and it feels pure and natural.
