Mushuihua wild mushroom market
When you come to Yunnan, you don't have to visit museums, you must visit the vegetable market.
Wild mushrooms are on the market every year. Mushuihua Wild Mushroom Market, the largest wild mushroom trading market in the world, is a more lively place in Kunming than CBD.
When mainlanders come to enjoy the splash, it is estimated that they will be dazzled by the dazzling array of wild mushrooms.
It not only accounts for more than 90% of the trading volume of wild mushrooms in Yunnan Province and 70% of the whole country, but also 500 tons of wild mushrooms are loaded from here and transported to the whole country every day during the peak season.
And in the shortest possible time, it was served on the table of gourmets from Japan, France, Italy and other countries.
Take the subway and get off at Ford Station. Before you arrived at the market, many vendors had set up their stalls on the roadside.
The citizens who went out were holding the "trophy" that had just been bargained, and kept walking, rushing home to prepare the wild mushroom feast.
Before entering the market and joining the mushroom purchasing army, the first thing I feel is the rich mushroom fragrance in the air.
Although I missed the morning market time, there were really many people.
Whether it's a bulk buyer, a restaurant or a retail investor, someone will come to buy mushrooms. In the face of wild mushrooms, devout consumers are equal regardless of their income.
Chicken fir, dried mushrooms, Tricholoma matsutake, Morchella, Boletus, palm, Tricholoma, black truffle, old man.
In the Mushuihua market, where there are more bacteria than people, mainlanders like me like "Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden", and strolling around seems to be a lesson in wildlife biology.
My friends in Yunnan take special care of me. I don't have to worry about being killed when I ask the name of Auricularia auricula, because even people in Yunnan don't necessarily know everything!
But when shopping, you should pay special attention to your feet, because there is no price tag. The artificial bacteria in Mupo, from a bag of 10 yuan to a kilogram of expensive truffles in 1500 yuan, are piled on the ground and randomly selected.
Yunnan people who love beauty like to put their own mushrooms into beautiful shapes and look at their customers proudly, which is no less proud than their children's top three results in the final exam in the class.
Among hundreds of edible wild fungi, Tricholoma matsutake is the protagonist.
Since the introduction of Tricholoma matsutake in the first season of China on the Bite of the Tongue, this mountain-grown delicacy became famous overnight.
Among the foreign diners who know how to eat and love to eat, the most crazy about matsutake is definitely the Japanese. Doraemon Doraemon and Crayon Shinchan both have special plots to describe the preciousness of Tricholoma matsutake.
According to the stall owner, once the fungus went on the market in previous years, it had to be sent to Japan by car.
The quantity of Tricholoma matsutake exported this year has decreased, and the overall market price has also dropped a lot.
The most common way to eat Tricholoma matsutake is to fry it in yellow oil or stew it with native chicken.
Now that we are in the country of origin, our diet must be upgraded.
Only when I came to Yunnan did I taste the legendary matsutake sashimi, which "can make my eyebrows beautiful". Sure enough, "high-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking method."
Mushroom chafing dish will be removed from the tableware 20 minutes before cooking.
Slice fresh Tricholoma matsutake, add the smell of mountain mud, dip it in sushi soy sauce and wasabi, or simply add nothing, pick up a piece and put it in your mouth. In an instant, the unique sweetness of Tricholoma matsutake tightly wraps the taste buds, and the ingredients without any treatment can also produce ever-changing effects.
According to the principle of "the smaller the umbrella, the more expensive it is, and the fuller the body, the less it is", the price of Tricholoma matsutake with the same quality can be nearly half cheaper than that on Taobao.
I sent two boxes of Tricholoma matsutake (5~7cm) to my home, and the price was only 170 kg (if I am good at bargaining, I guess it will be cheaper).
For example, SF Express and EMS have opened the "Matsutake Special Line" in the season when mushrooms are on the market. It's all delivered by express, most of them.
However, more delicious wild mushrooms can only be eaten by flying to Yunnan.
The fragrance of the new farmers' market
Mushuihua is a professional wild mushroom trading market. Wild mushrooms are enough, but you must change your mind if you want to find more street snacks.
There are dozens of farmers' markets in Kunming alone, but when it comes to the long time of existence and the deep feelings of the old Kunming people, no one can be newer than seal cutting.
Moreover, the vendors here seem to be born masters of color matching, and letter transfer itself is like a condensed version of "Colorful Yunnan".
In Chen Xiaoqing's words, "Nine squares are not enough". Half of Yunnan's delicious food is due to its rich and varied ingredients. In the brick new farmers' market, delicious local products from various cities, counties and townships in Yunnan are gathered. Like eggs, there are two kinds of earth eggs and black-bone chicken eggs, and there are six or seven or eight kinds of eggs alone. There are many "unconventional" ingredients on the dining table of Yunnan people, such as insects that make people talk about color change and romantic flowers.
Yunnan, where flowers bloom all year round, has flowers to eat all year round. It's either Dounan or seal cutting. Only when you eat the edible flowers of the season will you feel that it is really this season. People who like fruit can't help but chop their hands when their minds turn, can they? Passion flower and papaya are very expensive in the supermarket, and the prices of apples and bananas are sold; Selling green lemons is not cheap. Here, 10 can take away a big bag; Figs in this season are also 10. A look at the unit, or "kg"! In addition to good-looking, shopping, the heart is particularly delicious! Seal cutting in 2 1 year, an old shop in 2 1 year.
Using light ingredients to make the most delicious food in Yunnan people's daily tastes is not only authentic, but also inexpensive to eat. You can tell if it's delicious by looking at your neighbors.
Chuangyuanfen steamed meat
Shengyuan Steamed Meat, which makes people smell fragrant, is a famous store with a history of 30 years, and its taste is inherited from the self-built old water city. CCTV also reported it specially.
Pork belly for steaming meat is fat and thin, so you don't have to chew it until it is crisp and rotten. Even people who are not fat can't help eating more.
In order to ensure the quality and quantity, steamed meat is limited every day and will be sold out. Usually you can't buy it after four o'clock in the afternoon. If you want to taste it, please come early.
Mojiang acid bamboo shoot fish
After coming to Yunnan, I fell in love with the hot and sour Dai flavor. The well-deserved protagonist of snail powder-sour bamboo shoots is also a common seasoning in Dai flavor.
People who don't love it take detours by the nose, but people who love it can't stop.
To judge the tunnel degree of a shop, you can look at the place name in front of the shop name. The smaller the store name, the greater the possibility of tunnel.
Like Mojiang, a Hani autonomous county under the jurisdiction of Pu 'er City, it sounds much more reliable than "Yunnan sour bamboo shoot fish".
The sour bamboo shoot fish sold in this house is a semi-finished product pickled and seasoned in advance. When you get home, stir-fry and heat up, it is the "rice killer" on the table.
Zimu original chicken feet
Another classic Dai flavor, Huayao Dai chicken feet, can also be found in Zhuanxin.
This Mujiangzi chicken feet is a frequent visitor to the TV food festival, and it is also a must-buy food for many people every time they come to Xindu.
Chicken feet can be divided into two kinds: not spicy and spicy. If you really can't eat spicy food, it is strongly recommended to eat spicy food. Ten-dollar chicken feet are in the big bowl.
The smell of litsea cubeba soaked the chicken feet and even the bones were chewed well!
After weighing, the boss will also serve a bowl full of celery and carrots, and the side dishes are also very tasty. Add more soup and rice noodles. Super ~
Meng Xiao tofu
Tofu cooked in the tip of the tongue was found in Yunnan-Guizhou area. You can find it in an old and new water brick market. They are equally famous in Yunnan.
When eating, put the tofu on a charcoal fire and bake it slowly, biting the golden shell. The tofu in it is so soft that it doesn't need teeth at all.
Dipping in water is the soul of tofu. Dried vegetables, wet vegetables and fried garlic vegetables are all made with different recipes, and there is nothing delicious. One word: absolutely!
Huize black goat
From the first store to the third store, Huize black goat is very popular with old diners.
Their mutton
Most diners on the first floor will order a bowl of mutton rice noodles, mutton offal, sheep blood and mutton, and a bowl of ingredients is enough; On the other hand, you can also buy cold mutton slices at retail outlets.
On the second floor is mutton hotpot. When the weather is cold, you can order a stewed mutton soup pot and a braised mutton pot. The whole person tastes very comfortable.
La snacks tofu pudding rice noodles
There are rice noodle shops everywhere in Kunming. If you are here to forward letters, you can try this. It is very famous all over Kunming, and there is almost a queue of 10 meters for eating.
One of the must-see signs is tofu pudding rice flour, which is smooth and elastic. Tofu pudding cooked every day has a strong bean flavor. Dip a little water in the pepper according to the taste, and a bowl will be super satisfying!
Pepper should not be underestimated. It can be served with a bowl of ice powder, sweet and spicy.
The other is jiaozi with bean noodles, which is sweet but not greasy. Quite a traditional Kunming flavor.
There are different kinds of "hats" to choose from (equivalent to toppings in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai), ranging from 6 to a bowl in 8 yuan, which is quite cheap and good.
Special rice cake
The name of the store is simple and rude, and it is called special rice cake. Residents around often buy this kind of rice cake for breakfast or afternoon snacks.
Fried rice cakes are golden outside and soft inside, which are especially popular with children.
There are many kinds of rice cakes, and the most popular one is red bean stuffing. Boiled red beans are crisp and fragrant, and wrapped in rice cakes are sweeter.
Hai cocoa Xiang Chinese spirit
Yunnan's sweet liquor is very similar to that of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, but the taste is not so juicy and the rice grains are more compact.
There are several sweet hotels in Zhuanxin. The recommended Tonghai has a good business in the market. There are many people waiting in line, selling dozens of cans every day.
Sweet white wine can be eaten directly as sweet water with a spoon, or it can be cooked with glutinous rice balls and sold in the sea.
Because it is really fragrant, there are still many bees flying on the opened sweet white wine. At first glance, old customers have long been used to it.
Wang Zengqi once wrote, "When I go to a new place, some people like to visit department stores and some people like to visit bookstores. I'd rather go to the vegetable market.
Watching raw chickens, live ducks, fresh fish and watercress, cucumbers and red peppers are bustling and crowded, which makes people feel that it is a kind of enjoyment. "
Kunming may not have any attractive attractions, but it is such a slow and dull pace of life that I feel extremely satisfied when I stay here for a while.
The annual "Eat Mushrooms with Life" season is coming to an end. If you don't want to miss this novelty, you should hurry up.
