China is a big city, and few people know the roots of the ear.

Humans, as taste animals, often define a city and a place with a taste, which interprets the food culture here and represents the character here.

the "wild" flavor is just such an existence.

Guizhou

There are many mountains in Guizhou, and most of the wild roots are hidden in the damp corners of the mountains. The local people eat the root of the broken ear, mainly its rhizome. Compared with leaves, it takes some effort to chew, and the chewing sound of "ke ke ke" is also interesting.

the most common way to eat is cold salad. Wash the root of the broken ear, cut it into two fingers wide, add salt, vinegar, pepper, pepper noodles, ginger, garlic, coriander and other seasonings and mix well. You can also add fresh broad beans, lettuce, tofu and so on. It tastes dry, crisp and full of saliva. That's a refreshing meal, that's a fragrant meal, and that's a unique taste!

judging from the Jianghu, the root of cold salad and broken ears definitely belongs to the lone chivalrous man whose sword is biased. Low-key in the obvious unruly hegemony, a hand will be majestic, sophisticated and agile. How can you not impress people!

the flavor secret of the Guizhou version of the cold-mixed ear root lies in the pepper. The practice of pepper is also very "wild" and very tough.

In the former rural areas of Guizhou, after drying, peppers were baked in the high-temperature ashes of firewood on the earthen stove, and then they were scraped out and crushed directly by hand after being gradually brittle. It can be described as simple and rude ... but the rich aroma of coke and the mellow spicy taste are really irreplaceable!

the freshness of pimiento is extremely important, and it is best to cook and eat it now.

Dipping in water is the soul of Guizhou's diet. All kinds of seasoning derived from chili are collectively called "dipping in water". And every dip in the water, there are many broken ears.

for example, the pepper mentioned earlier. If you add some seasonings such as broken ear root, soy sauce, vinegar, fermented bean curd, fermented soybean, onion, ginger and garlic, add a spoon of hot soup and mix well, it will become a delicious hot pot dipped in water, and Guizhou people can't eat soup without it!

The diversity of the roots of Cynanchum auriculatum is vividly reflected in Guizhou.

It can be served alone, and it is also an excellent side dish for all kinds of local dishes and snacks. It is indispensable to blend with other ingredients. The existence of the root of the broken ear is one of the important criteria for judging whether the food is "tasty" here.

and the sentence "Boss, add more ears!" It is to let Guizhou people meet each other, and their eyes are full of affection and tears.

Sichuan and Chongqing

Sichuan and Chongqing are watery, with fertile soil and flat terrain, and wild cocklebur roots can be seen everywhere in the fields.

Different from Guizhou people, people in Sichuan and Chongqing prefer to eat the tender leaves of the roots of broken ears.

It is said that there is a folk children's song in Sichuan that reads: "thatched root, broken ear root, I am grandma's little grandson, and grandma invited me to eat oil peanuts." Just say, is it important for them to fold their ears?

Sichuan and Chongqing people are good at spicy taste. Pepper is hot, soy sauce and vinegar are refreshing, so overbearing, which is just suitable for the cool and bitter integration with the roots of broken ears, and countless delicious foods are derived.

Sichuan and Chongqing are also hot pot kingdoms, so anything can be cooked! You can rinse anything!

ear root, of course, is no exception, even as a "standard".

at this time, you can't rinse the leaves, it must be the roots. And it's still going into the pot in bundles! It took a few seconds to get it, and it was still crunchy. Rinse for a long time will become harrow and soft, but some people like this taste.

some hot pot restaurants also provide water with broken ears, which has no strange smell, fishy smell or even a little sweet.

Eat spike potatoes, wrapped bean curd and skewers. If you don't fold your ears, you must be a foreigner!

There are also grilled fish, fried Sichuan style pork, fried bacon, and rice tofu mixed with the roots of the ears ... There are countless delicious foods of the roots of the ears.

The white, shiny root of the broken ear will make my cheeks sour with a bite.
