Dalian is a specialty of Harbin. The name of "Leba" embodies the integration of Chinese and western cultures. "Leba" is Russian "bread", so it is preceded by the Chinese word "big" because it is big. When writer Qin Mu came to Harbin that year, he had a metaphor of "bread is like a pot cover", which was about the bread in Lin Qiu. Its standard diameter is between 23-26 cm, and its thickness is above 16 cm. The net weight of bread is 2 kg, and its bulkiness is heavier than that of ordinary bread. It's heavy to carry in your hand, so it's more important to bring this special gift from Harbin as a gift.
Food features:
Da Lieba is specially made by Lin Qiu Food Factory. It is the founder of Lin Qiu Company and Russian businessman Ivan? Yakulovich? Lin Qiu imported the model of front shop and back factory. This loaf of bread was baked for more than 100 years. Today, when the food content is rich and colorful, Lin Qiu's "Dalieba" is still produced with a daily limit of 160 pieces, but it has been in endless supply, which shows its popularity. In Harbin, we often see "Lidos" sausage and this "Dalieba" queuing for shopping. I like the packaging of "Da Lieba" very much. It used to be the pocket of white drawer cloth, but now it is printed with Russian-style patterns on non-woven fabrics, showing a different style in simplicity and simplicity. In recent years, there has been a refined box packaging, which is slightly luxurious but not as good as the pure taste of cloth.
Often, when friends come, I buy "Da Lieba" to give them a taste of this unique feature, and occasionally I buy it at home to taste it, but it takes a careful body odor to get its taste. This kind of "Dalieba", which is produced by three fermentation processes and baked with unique basswood, oak wood and other hard impurities, has a hard and hard skin and a soft core. It tastes delicious, fragrant in face, wine, salt, fruit and lactic acid, but you may not be used to its sour taste for the first time, but you may really like it after several times. It has a very good feature that its fresh-keeping time is very long, and it will not go bad if it is stored for about 20 days.
No food in Harbin is as famous at home and abroad as Lin Qiu's "Da Lieba", and no food can still be fragrant all over the city after a hundred years. For the city of Harbin, "Dalian" has already surpassed the concept of food. It is a symbol, a culture, and a witness and bearing of the city's history.
History:
Da Lieba (big bread) is the traditional staple food of Russians. There is only one bread stove in every farm in Russia, and every family bakes bread regularly. Usually, I only eat the stored bread at home, so the bread is especially big. Cut a piece when I eat it. Over time, unique skills and customs have been formed. 1898 Russians build Middle East Railway in China. With the construction of the Middle East Railway, Russians poured into Harbin in large numbers. In order to meet their traditional needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, 1900 Russian Ivan Yakulovich Lin Qiu opened Harbin Branch of Lin Qiu Foreign Firm, and set up food workshops such as bread, specializing in the production of traditional foods such as Italian food. This is the predecessor of Harbin Lin Qiu Food Factory.
This kind of bread is rich in fragrance, slightly sour in taste, hard and suitable for storage. Round, up to 33 cm in diameter, weighing four or five pounds. At the beginning, the skill was mainly in the hands of Russian technicians, and it was passed down in Harbin for two generations. 1953 was accepted by the government of China, and the Russian master taught the bread making technology to master China hand in hand. Shen Baoju and Wang Zhan were the first generation of Chinese technicians. So far, it has been passed down for three generations in the hands of Harbin people. At present, the traditional manual technology and equipment used in the production of big bread in Harbin Lin Qiu Food Factory are unique in China. Once, Russian food processors came to Harbin to visit the bread making technology, and they were very impressed with the formation of a unique regional food culture with Russian flavor, saying, "This traditional technology has been lost in many places in Russia." After a hundred years of precipitation, this food has been combined with China's food culture and become a must in Harbin.
