The origin of beef offal
The origin of beef offal is like this: According to legend, in ancient times, when a king plowed the field in Xiannongtan to worship the god of agriculture, it suddenly rained heavily. Seeing that the local people were hungry, the king immediately ordered the cattle to be slaughtered and put their beef, tripe, heart, liver, louvers and intestines into the pot. People are delicious, and they are delicious after eating. Up to now, it has spread to Qilu, Shandong. Because of its high protein and rich nutrition. And it is easily absorbed by gastrointestinal tract, so it is an excellent food beneficial to health, which was later called "beef offal".
The legend of giblet
Legend one
The story begins with Huguangyan in Zhanjiang. According to legend, there is no lake, but there are two villages, Ning and Tuo, where there are dozens of families, men farming and women weaving, and people live a stable and peaceful life. One night, a white cow came to the village from nowhere, and the ignorant villagers tried to catch it and kill it. An old woman saw it and advised: this is a magical cow that fell from the sky. You can't hurt it. If you hurt it, you will suffer from it! The villagers didn't listen to the advice, so they slaughtered the cow and cooked it. That night, the thunder was so loud that two villages fell into a lake, but the old woman and her son were safe without food. The old woman knew that this was a reward from heaven, so she took beef offal, added various medicinal materials and some special ingredients, and stewed it in a sand pot to restore the spirit of the white cow, pay homage to the villagers in distress and pray for peace. Finally, I was moved to heaven, and the white cow was resurrected, carrying the old woman to the sky, and the lake was as clean as a mirror from now on; Its water level is stable all the year round, and it does not flood for several months in the rainy season and does not dry up after a hundred days of drought. Later, a white cow and a fairy often appeared between the trapped lake and Qixing cave, and their whereabouts were erratic, especially for the benefit of the people. So people built a statue of Bai Niu Xian to commemorate this sad story. Later, the secret recipe of stewed beef offal finally spread all over the world, and it was circulated in folk secrets, which is the beef offal that is surging today. It is said that Kou Zhun ate this kind of beef offal when he was exiled to Leizhou.
Legend 2
According to legend, when my grandparents were in the middle of winter, the climate was quite cold. Sometimes friends and relatives visit, so when I cook, I pick beef offal with a knife and put the ingredients in the soup pot to make beef offal for friends and relatives. At that time, the fragrance wafted out of the alley, just as an elder in the village passed by and walked into the house. As soon as I entered the room, I saw the thick sauce of beef offal cooking in the earthen pot, and the whole room was full of fragrance. Everyone is happily eating beef offal dipped in sauce. The elders stared at the earthen pot and drooled loudly, saying: it's delicious, even involuntarily; The pot is full of turbulence, really turbulence! Then he came to the table, picked up the beef offal and ate it, which made everyone laugh happily. So the turbulent beef offal spread in Shiliba Village.

Be careful not to skin Jiang Ye. The shallots are tied into knots to avoid scattering when stewing; 2. After finishing the above work, put the radish into the casserole, put 2/3 of the water in the casserole, and start to cook over high fire. Empty the water in the brisket plate, put star anise, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, ginger and garlic on the brisket, and air it until it boils in a casserole. After the casserole is boiled, remove the lid and continue to cook the radish on high fire. At this time, bring a wok and pour some salad oil. When the oil is cooked to 70% maturity, add the sirloin and ingredients and stir fry. Be careful not to fry too much. In winter, the brisket is always turned over and it is not easy to absorb calories. 3. Add two spoonfuls of soy sauce to add color and taste when frying. I have a strong taste. Stir-fry for two more times, and then pour it all into the boiling radish soup.

Radish giblet
How to understand a city often begins with liking to eat local special snacks. This is the charm of taste. One side of water and soil can nourish one side, and one side of materials can brew one side of flavor, which cannot be transplanted at all. So the first taste I ate in Guangzhou was a bunch of beef lungs. Knowing the real Guangzhou began with eating beef offal. Located at No.251Haizhu Middle Road, next to the Children's Cinema, Guangzhou's famous "Master Lin Grocery Store". Since 1982 was founded, the shop has enjoyed a high popularity, and what it does is turnip beef offal. At first, "Lin Ji" only sold beef brisket and beef brisket powder to do neighborhood business. Later, in order to expand business, the original beef offal soup and Niusanxing soup were introduced, and two classic and unique "weapons" were developed: one was Lin Ji beef brisket juice, which was made by adding more than 30 kinds of medicinal materials in addition to traditional ingredients. The taste is fresh but not coquettish, strong but not greasy, and the combination of beef offal and precious medicinal materials is just right, which makes you taste like a gourmet beef soup. Second, Lin Ji Chili sauce. Many Chili sauces are extremely spicy and irritating, and they can't be swallowed, which has become a taboo for cooking-taking away the taste. Lin Ji's Chili sauce is very fragrant, slightly sweet and sour. After a pause, people can fully feel the smell of beef offal first, and then the spicy juice permeates, which makes consumers want to stop. This is the famous "Lin Ji radish beef offal"
