Zhaoqing is a tourist city, and there are many specialties in Zhaoqing, such as Duanyan, Zhaoshi, steamed dumplings, Sihui Shatang Orange, Deqing Gonggan, Gaoyao straw mats ... Among them, steamed dumplings are the best.
Steamed dumplings are tapered, just like a pyramid. The outer skin of steamed rice dumplings is green and wrapped with winter leaves unique to Zhaoqing. The materials inside are mung beans, glutinous rice and pork. First, about 7~8 winter leaves are stuffed into the fisherman's hat to form an angle; Then, put the glutinous rice on a layer evenly, put the mung beans on a layer, and put 2~3 pieces of pork on a layer; Finally, do these steps again; Then wrap the steamed dumplings with straw; If you want to cook the package, you should put it in a special cauldron for at least 7-8 hours.
After peeling off the winter leaves layer by layer, you will see a yellow-green "pyramid". Because the steamed leaves absorbed chlorophyll, the glutinous rice inside turned yellow-green. After cutting the steamed package, mung beans and pork were squeezed out, and the smell of winter leaves and mung beans came to the nose. If you take a bite, you will feel that the steamed entrance is loose, smooth and sweet, and the fat pork is not fat at all, and it is slippery and you don't know if you swallow it. After swallowing it, you will feel warm in your stomach, as if the acupuncture points had been opened by a martial arts expert, and your mouth still contains a smell of mung beans and fat pork, which really leaves a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks. Steaming not only tastes good, but also can be preserved for a long time.
Winter leaves are cold and have strong preservation. Steaming is very nutritious, because glutinous rice is rich in rice nutrition, and mung beans have vitamins and oxygen needed by the human body.
Steamed dumplings in my hometown
My hometown is in Liancheng, where there are many delicious snacks. There are white, refreshing and salty dustpans for cooking; A crispy fried pile; Smelly and delicious stinky tofu; Delicious kebabs ... Among them, my favorite is the well-known steamed dumplings.
The steamed dumplings in my hometown are famous for their smoothness, delicacy and moderate hardness, especially the steamed dumplings made by Li Weikun in Liancheng East Street, where customers "eat one and think of two". It is wrapped with dried zongzi leaves. First, it is covered with a layer of glutinous rice, with a little pork roast lean meat or pork belly fried with pork belly, stuffed with red shrimp meat or crab meat, then covered with a layer of glutinous rice, wrapped in a square shape, tied with aquatic plants, and then placed in a steamer pot, steamed in boiling water. Steamed food dipped in a little honey or brown sugar has a special flavor.
When eating, tear off the water plants and leaves outside. The steamed dumplings are golden, soft and tough, and the aroma is overflowing, which makes your mouth water. Take a bite, the outside is crisp and the inside is soft, and a delicious zongxiang immediately penetrates the heart from the tip of the tongue. Eat steamed dumplings carefully and chew them slowly. If you eat it with a little Chili sauce, it will be spicy and exciting, so spicy that you will gasp, but that will make you want to eat more and more, and the more you eat, the more you love it, and the aftertaste will be endless. If dipped in a little honey or brown sugar to eat, it is even more unique.

Chinese New Year custom in hometown-Zhaoqing, Guangdong.
My hometown is Zhaoqing, Guangdong, where the Chinese New Year is very grand and full of atmosphere, but now we can't set off firecrackers, and now people don't make dumplings and steamed dumplings. These things are sold all over the street, which really has no atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
First of all, it's almost the Spring Festival, and it's still a month before the Spring Festival. Every family has started to buy new clothes, candy, oranges, daffodils, and flour, peanuts, mung beans, etc. The most interesting thing is that every family makes dumplings and steamed dumplings (this is a specialty of Zhaoqing), and makes an appointment in advance. Generally, there are more than a dozen people packing them together. Take me for example, it's full all month. Because there's something to eat, wrap it yourself, make a mark, and you can get your own work back later. Because a group of people are wrapping it, the owner will fry it in the oil pit, ha ~ ~. Try to eat it. The steamed dumplings should be put on their own. Make a big stove by the roadside with bricks, and cook the steamed dumplings in one or two big nests or large water tanks, and cook 12.
There are more pedestrians in the street, and it's lively, especially when the 2nd, 5th and 8th of the lunar calendar are market days. That kind of scene really makes people happy. All the colored lights, colorful flowers, lanterns and red flags are hung on the street, and children begin to ask their parents to buy firecrackers and fireworks for the New Year. Some children can't wait to come out and set off firecrackers and fireworks at night ... ..
On the eve of New Year's Eve, the whole family ate a reunion dinner and hung up long firecrackers after dinner. At 1: 00, every household set off long firecrackers on time, representing the beginning of the New Year. At that time, the night was really like a war, and the whole city was deafening. It was forbidden to sweep the floor and say unlucky things, and adults were not allowed to scold children. This would not happen until the beginning of the new year, which was different for every family. The day can be on the second, fourth and sixth day of the lunar new year. After the long firecrackers, every household goes out for the Universiade, that is, they walk around the city and are not allowed to go back, hehe ... At that time, there were so many people, firecrackers and fireworks were everywhere, and some people threw firecrackers and fireworks at me, and I threw them at you, all laughing, so happy. After the Universiade, they went home or played with friends, and children even set off firecrackers and fireworks. Most people don't sleep. On the morning of New Year's Day, they cook vermicelli and glutinous rice balls at home. After eating, they go to the street and play in the park. After the second day, they all go to relatives and friends' homes to pay New Year greetings. When children see adults, they want profits. When they receive profits, they go there to buy firecrackers and fireworks.
During the Chinese New Year, firecrackers sounded every day, and happy scenes can be seen everywhere. Just like the Chinese New Year every day, it reminds me of endless aftertaste. The fun and happiness at that time are no longer felt now. This year, Beijing has started to set off firecrackers and fireworks within a time limit. I wonder when it can be set off all over China. I think the days of setting off firecrackers and fireworks will not last long in order to save the atmosphere of China in the past.
