1. Duck Eggs in Duanwu Wang Zengqi
My hometown is a water town. Out of ducks. The Gaoyou duck is a famous duck breed. There are a lot of ducks and a lot of duck eggs. The people of Gaoyou are also good at salting duck eggs. Gaoyou salted duck eggs are then famous. Whenever someone asked me about my place of origin in Southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the other person would be in awe after answering: "Oh! Your place out of salted duck eggs!" Shanghai's salted duck eggs are also sold in stores selling salted wax, must be specially marked with a note: "Gaoyou salted eggs".
Gaoyou also produces double-yolked duck eggs. There are occasional double-yolked duck eggs elsewhere, but not as many as in Gaoyou, and they can be exported in batches. Double-yolked duck eggs have no special flavor. It is just a duck egg! It's just that when you cut it open, there are two round yolks inside, which makes you surprised. I am not very happy to hear people from other countries call Gaoyou duck eggs, as if duck eggs are produced in our poor place! However, the salted duck eggs in Gaoyou, is really good, I traveled a lot of places, eat duck eggs more, but and my hometown can not be compared at all!
Once upon a time, the sea was hard to water, salted duck eggs in other countries, I really do not see. Yuan Mei's "with the garden food list - small menu" has "pickled eggs" a. Yuan Zicai this person I do not like. Yuan Zicai this person I do not like, his "food list" a number of dishes is to hear the practice, he does not know how to cook. However, this article of "Pickled Eggs" is very dear to me after reading it, and I feel "honored". The text is not long, recorded as follows: pickled eggs to Gaoyou is good, the color is fine and more oil, Gao Wenduan Gong favorite food. Seats, the first clip to honor the guests, put on the plate. It is always advisable to cut the shell, yellow and white both; can not save the yellow to white, so that the flavor is not complete, the oil is also scattered."
The Gaoyou salted eggs are characterized by fine texture and more oil. Egg white is tender, not like elsewhere in the hair dry, hair powder, the entrance is like chewing lime. The oil is especially not as much as elsewhere. The way to eat duck eggs, as Yuan Zicai said, with the shell cut, is a kind of, that is the way to treat guests. For normal consumption, it is usually cracked "empty head" and eaten with chopsticks. Once the head of the chopsticks is pushed down, the red oil will come out. The yolk of Gaoyou salted egg is red. There is a famous dish in northern Jiangsu called "Zhu Sha Tofu", which is tofu stir-fried with the yolk of a Gaoyou duck egg.
The salted duck eggs I ate in Beijing had light yellow yolks, so what kind of salted duck eggs are they called? The Dragon Boat Festival, our children there Xing hanging "duck eggs Luozi". The first day, by the aunt or sister with colorful silk thread played a good complex. Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the duck eggs cooked, by the children themselves to pick a duck egg, duck eggs have what to pick it! There are! One should pick the light green shell. There are two kinds of duck egg shells: white and light green. The second is to pick the one that has a nice shape.
Don't say that duck eggs are all the same, but they are different when you look at them. Some of them look stupid and some of them look good. The first thing you need to do is to pick out a good one, put it in a basket, and hang it on the button of the lapel. What's so beautiful about it? Yet it is a child's favorite ornament. Duck eggs hanging more than half a day, when the child is happy, the duck eggs out of the complex, eat. The duck eggs of the Dragon Boat Festival, newly pickled not long ago, only a little bit of light salty flavor, white mouth to eat can also be.
Children eat duck eggs is very careful, in addition to knocking off the empty head, not to break the shell. Yolk protein eaten up, with water to wash the inside of the duck eggs, caught fireflies to the night, installed in the eggshell, the empty head of the place paste a layer of thin Luo. The fireflies in the duck eggshell flickered brightly, beautiful!
Hours to read the bag fireflies reflecting the snow story, I think the Eastern Jin Dynasty Che Yin with the practice of bag full of dozens of fireflies, light up the reading, not as good as using duck eggshells to contain fireflies. But with fireflies to light to read, and read all night to dawn, this can work? Che Yin read a handwritten volume, the word is big, if you read the new five now, probably not.
