Eyes are full of bright red, decorated with lively lanterns, plus the sound of New Year's blessings; Even the smell outside the window has a festive flavor-even if it is smoky, it is also a fresh smell of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
China has a vast territory and rich products. The taste of a year is mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, harmonious but different. Do you also want to taste the flavor of the year everywhere?
The Third Bullet of New Year Custom —— Wanggang Village, Guizhou: The First Village of Bathing.
One side's soil and water create one side's splendid humanities.
There are many ethnic minorities in Guizhou. For thousands of years, people of all ethnic groups have lived in harmony with each other, creating a national cultural spectacle of "different ethnic groups in one mountain, different winds in ten miles and different customs in a hundred miles" and enjoying the reputation of "National Ecological Museum".
I took you to Wanggang Village, the first village in Butang, Guizhou, and felt the local customs ~
Wang Gang is a typical characteristic village with profound historical and cultural background.
Especially the Buyi people's food culture attracts people with its elegant charm. Most of the residents here are Fahrenheit who moved in during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it has nurtured a unique regional culture and rich ethnic customs.

Beat rice cakes
The new year is sweet and sweet, and the grain is abundant.
The important activity of the new year is to take a taxi.
Making Ciba in the New Year is a custom handed down in rural areas of Guizhou for thousands of years. Ciba has become an important preparation activity for the Chinese New Year, with a strong rural flavor.
Ciba is a kind of physical activity, which is completed by the division of labor between the host and the hostess at home.
The hostess usually carefully selects the first-grade glutinous rice two days in advance, washes it repeatedly with clear water and soaks it for one night. One day later, when the glutinous rice swelled, the hostess cooked it in a steamer prepared in advance. After the glutinous rice is steamed, it is put into a special wooden trough, and the male host beats it repeatedly with a hammer to make the glutinous rice particles smaller until they become sticky.
It takes a lot of effort to make Ciba by hand, but it is soft, tender and delicious.
The glutinous rice cake is made into a small round glutinous rice cake, which is white, tender, smooth and delicate in taste. It is sprinkled with base material and bean powder, accompanied by a different kind of rice fragrance, which is pleasant and comfortable.

Kill a pig
Reward one year's efforts.
Since it is killing pigs, the highlight is naturally killing pigs. As a unique scenery in the countryside, it is both scary and fun.
In rural areas, it took everyone a year to fatten a pig because of the limitation of feeding technology.
One-year-old pig is not only a summary of one year's labor achievements, but also a big nutritional savings in the coming year, and it is also a symbol of family honor. It kills pigs once a year, so it is very lively. Simple people will use this pig to entertain the villagers and give back to everyone for a whole year's hard work.
Killing pigs is not a simple job!
Every village has a special pig killer, clean and neat, and the knife goes in and the blood goes out-the tradition in rural areas is that the more pig blood, the more prosperous it is. Some people also set off fireworks to celebrate before killing pigs.
Then depilation, cleaning, meat sharing, hot air and water bathing feast will come! (Of course, timid people dare not watch this process, so they hide in the house and wait for dinner. )
Bubble soup feast
Eat pork encyclopedia
When neighbors, relatives and friends sit around and have a feast, the New Year really comes. Excitement filled the harvest celebration.
In general, the pig-killing rice in rural areas is made by ourselves, which is not as elaborate as that made by chefs. The big pot and the big stove pay attention to the fierce fire.
The table will be steaming in 2 minutes, and the villagers will never be hungry.
Only here do I understand that Chinese food is the art of oil and fire.
Kung Pao, green pepper and hot sauce are the three magic weapons for the feast of frying and killing pigs. The water-soaked banquet in Wanggang Village is the most spicy with Guizhou characteristics.
Pork liver, pork heart and pork intestines are all fried for 3 minutes. When ginger and garlic are fried, the wok is full of gas. Although it is a plain home-cooked dish, it contains a strong hometown flavor.
The pig's internal organs are very old. Only by cooking the oil with strong fire can it be crisp and tender.
Every dish has a strong rural flavor. Pigs are fed with their own forage and green feed, which makes them fat but not greasy, and the meat is elastic, which is worthy of the name: eating pigs tastes like pigs.
Look at this pot first, rotten spicy pork, pork belly, plum blossom meat and fried old tofu are all simmered in the pot, which is very enjoyable.
The kind with beautiful snowflakes in red and white is plum blossom meat, which is also called plum blossom meat by locals. Each pig weighs only five or six pounds, and the lean meat is criss-crossed, which is particularly tender and fragrant. Used for soup, the meat is delicious and will not age if cooked for a long time.
Look at this dish of pickled pepper kidney next to it. The fresh kidney flower is extremely fresh and tender, and has no taste at all. With hot and sour pickled peppers, eat when you are tired of eating!
Naturally, there are Kung Pao pork liver, Kung Pao fat intestines and Kung Pao kidney flowers ... I smiled and said, what a bowl of gout smells like!
Eating in the village is informal. If the cold dishes are cold, you can also pour all the dishes into the pot to make a dry pot hodgepodge!
The pot was warm, and the villagers got together and ate a strong human touch!
A bite of pork liver crisp, a bite of fat sausage glutinous, and a chopstick are all surprises.
To say that in the past, such good meat was hard to eat! Now is a good time to catch up with the past. Only by eating and drinking can we live up to it!
A pig-killing meal with enough wine and meat reminds people of Lu You's poem "A Visit to Shanxi Village":
"Don't laugh at the farmhouse wine, stay for a good year.
There is no way to go because of the winding water flow in the mountains, and a mountain village suddenly appears in the willow-green flower bay. "
It is a very ceremonial thing to fight Ciba and kill rosary. If you are interested, you can go to Wanggang Village in Guizhou to experience it.
Please look forward to tomorrow's "fourth annual custom bomb" and guess where I will take you ~
