? Hancheng, located on the northeastern edge of Guanzhong, has been blocked by mountain roads since ancient times, and its language, food and culture has its own style.

People in Hancheng, like most places in Shaanxi, regard mutton as the top-quality meat. Mutton steamed buns are of course the most fascinating thing. The unique style of Hancheng mutton steamed buns is not only the production style, but also the

What is more important and unique is the food style recognized by Hancheng people. It is simply a kind of folk culture. I, an authentic Hancheng person, am proud of it.

? Mutton steamed buns may be the most unique food in Shaanxi.

The tough residents of Sanqin have always guarded the door of their homes, never going out or staying away. They will attack whoever comes to disturb them. They have gained a reputation and are called scary idiots outside.

In the peaceful years, the lads worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. In their spare time, they could not live without the roaring Qin Opera, and indispensable, the enjoyment of a bowl of mutton steamed buns!

? In Hancheng, go to the countryside, on the roadside, in front of the mutton steamed bun shop, there is always a big pot with a five-foot rim, steaming hot. On the big pot, there is a four-inch wide wooden bar with holes drilled in it.

There are cooked sheep heads on the wooden sticks inserted. The number of sheep heads indicates how many sheep were killed today. The wooden stick must be as old as the history of this mutton restaurant. From the beginning of this big pot,

Once the mutton is steaming, keep it on the pot.

The pot is filled with snow-white mutton soup, which is made from mutton and mutton bones that have been simmered all night. The delicious smell of the mutton wafts far away, and diners will come by smelling it without shouting.

?The mutton soup in Hancheng is called sweet soup. It means that no seasoning, including salt, is allowed in the mutton soup.

The sheep cannot be the feed sheep that are currently raised in captivity. They must be the sheep that are raised in the wild on the ditch cliffs or on the banks of the Yellow River. They are the mutton that our ancestors have been accustomed to eating for generations. If you change the feed sheep, you will immediately taste a different taste. Regular customers

Turn around and leave.

?You see, when a diner enters a restaurant, he first chats with the boss or the waiter, and without looking at him, he stretches out a finger and dips his fingertip into the broth on the rim of the hot soup pot.

, and then rub it with your thumbs. When you feel that the soup on your fingers is dry, use two fingers to stick it to each other. The stronger the glue of the broth, the stronger the sticking, which means that this mutton soup has been cooked all night.

The original soup is not watered down. At this time, diners will take a serious look at the soup pot. The soup must be white in color and there must be a circle of black foamy suet pimples driven together by the boiling soup on the edge of the soup pot. The color is very ugly.

, but it is the fat that falls off when the mutton is tumbling, and it is very fragrant. If you can put a little of that kind of fat meat in the broth bowl, the soup will be more fragrant.

After touching and reading, look at the number of sheep heads stuck on the wooden strips of the soup pot, and you will know whether the business is good or not. The number of sheep heads is the number of sheep sold by the store every day. Of course, the taste is good and the amount of meat is good.

If there is enough, business will be good and more sheep will be sold.

?The next step is to decide to eat mutton here.

The diners will shout loudly at this time, a bowl of mutton!

Tang Kuankuan!

?That way, it seems like I am holding a ceremony for a delicacy, and it also seems like I want to tell the people around me that I am going to eat mutton today.

There is no need to be so loud, but how can I let everyone know that I am here to eat mutton!

The kind of information that is announced by eating mutton is a higher level of enjoyment of eating mutton. It tells others that my life is better than others. It seems that I can come and eat a bowl of mutton every day, and my face will be bright.

When you come to eat mutton, the quality of showing off is higher than the beauty of eating and drinking.

?Be fully prepared before eating steamed buns.

First, I asked my wife to steam a pot of steamed buns. Break the cross-section into an inch and a half thick. Use a large iron grate for steaming steamed buns and bake them over a dark fire. The edges will be slightly browned and smell fragrant.

If it is burnt, it means that the mother-in-law is not serious. She takes it out to make others laugh and loses face. Men often push the burnt bun to the woman's chest and curse: Hey... you can do it.

(Sound: Beat) Hit the ball!

The woman knew that she was not doing a good job, so she did not dare to say anything. She picked out the baked bun slices of good quality from the iron grate for the man, put them in a cloth bag, and the man hung them on his waist trouser pocket, and walked around,

When you see someone, say hello, I eat mutton!

After walking around the village, everyone knew that the man went to eat mutton, so they walked towards the mutton restaurant.

?The snow-white and fragrant big bowl of mutton soup requires diners to go and serve it from the hand of the waiter. By the way, they can say a few familiar words to the waiter so that the waiter can put an extra half of the mutton slices for themselves and skim it from the pot.

A little suet foam.

There is no seasoning in the soup. It is the sweet soup that Hancheng people like best. If any mutton restaurant adds seasoning to cook the soup, it will definitely lose many diners.

What Hancheng people want is this sweet soup that has been drunk for thousands of years.

When the sweet soup was served, I looked around and saw someone familiar, so I couldn't help but say hello to show that I came to eat mutton.
