Balsamic vinegar will not go bad when placed: What is the truth behind "balsamic vinegar will not go bad when placed"? This is because balsamic vinegar was invented by Heita, the son of the wine saint Du Kang.
That year, Du Kang invented the art of wine-making. His family came to Zhenjiang and opened a small brewery outside the city, making wine and selling wine. His son Heita helped his father make wine, did everything from carrying water to moving vats in the workshop, and also raised a horse.
One day, Heita finished his work and added a few buckets of water to the lees in the tank. He happily lifted the jar and drank several kilograms of rice wine in one breath. The fragrant and sweet rice wine had a lot of stamina. Not long after drinking, Heita became so drunk that he wanted to go back to the stable to sleep. I don't know if I drank too much or didn't pay attention to the threshold while walking. I stumbled when I entered the door and fell down next to the vat and fell asleep. Suddenly, there was a thunder in his ears. Heita opened his eyes in a daze and saw a white-haired old man standing in the room. He pointed at the vat and said to him with a smile: "Heita, the seasoned wine you brewed is already 21." Oh my god, you can taste it today at Youshi." Heita was about to ask again, but the old man was missing. Heita shouted loudly: "Immortal, Immortal." He was awakened, and it turned out that he had just seen and heard in his dream.
Heita thought about what happened in the dream just now and felt very strange. The vat was not filled with distiller's grains for horses and a few buckets of water added later. How could it be seasoned nectar? Heita was doubtful. At that time, he felt his lips were dry and his tongue was dry. He looked at the wine lees in the vat and saw that it was a little different. He wanted to drink a bowl of it to see what it tasted like. Unexpectedly, after drinking it, my mouth will feel fragrant, sour and sweet, and I will feel refreshed and comfortable all over.
Heita strode into his father's room and told his father everything he had seen in his dream and tasted in his mouth. Du Kang also felt magical after hearing this. When he saw that the time was Youshi, he went to the stable with Heita. When he saw the "water" in the big tank, it was different from the past, dark and transparent. I dipped my fingers into it and tasted it. It was indeed sour and slightly sweet. Du Kang asked Heita again in detail. He pondered for a long time about what the old man said about the twenty-first day of the unitary hour. While gesturing with his hands, he suddenly grabbed Heita and wrote on the ground with his fingers: "On the twenty-first day of the unitary hour, this plus It starts with the word "vinegar", so maybe this wine is "vinegar"!
From then on, vinegar was born. Later, Du Kang and his son added water to the lees in the tank according to the old man's instructions. After one day of brewing, vinegar was brewed in the vat, and when a hole was dug in the vat, the vinegar flowed out continuously. Du Kang and his son gave the seasoned wine to their neighbors to taste, and they all came here. After saying it tasted good, neighbors from far and near came to buy it, and the vinegar was sold in Zhenjiang City. Later, it spread to Zhenjiang City and became famous all over the world. Later, Zhenjiang Fragrant Vinegar became a famous specialty of Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang people discovered that vinegar will not deteriorate after being stored for a long time, but the longer it is stored, the more mellow the flavor will be. This has become the No. 1 specialty in Zhenjiang.
Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is now famous. High-quality glutinous rice is the main raw material, using excellent sour and vinegar bacteria, and is refined through more than 40 procedures including "solid-rate layered fermentation" and three processes of brewing, fermented grains, and vinegar. It takes more than 70 days to refine. Very exquisite. The produced balsamic vinegar has a good color, aroma, sourness, alcohol and richness. When you take a bite, it is sour and fresh, fragrant and slightly sweet, mellow but not astringent. The longer it is stored, the better it tastes. Carrying forward the trend, the Zhenjiang Municipal Government has formulated the "Local Technical Standards for Zhenjiang Vinegar" with the approval of the Jiangsu Provincial Technical Supervision Bureau. Production is prohibited if the standards are not met. Everyone can eat more Zhenjiang Vinegar with confidence.
"Chinese Medical Dictionary" states: "Zhenjiang vinegar in Jiangsu Province is the best." Fragrant and slightly sweet, not astringent, the longer it is stored, the more mellow the taste will be, and it will not deteriorate. This is the "balsamic vinegar that is not bad" in "Three Strange Ballads". This is because it has a unique geographical environment and unique characteristics. Exquisite craftsmanship. Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is made from high-quality glutinous rice as the main raw material, using excellent acid vinegar bacteria, and is refined through three processes of solid layered fermentation, wine making, fermentation, and vinegar drenching, which takes more than 70 days. , and then after a certain period of storage, Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is well-deserved. Zhenjiang Hengshun Sauce Vinegar Factory was founded in 1850 and won the Nanyang Industry Association Gold Medal in 1980. Won the National Silver Award in 1985, the National Gold Medal in 1985, and the Gold Medal of Honor from the International Gastronomic Society and the International Council on Travel and Tourism.
Meat is not a dish: it was the busiest place in Zhenjiang at the time. There is a couple's snack shop. According to local custom, the daughter-in-law has to go back to her parents' home on the second day of February. As soon as the market closes, the couple goes out to do errands and shop. Dad bought tea, food, tobacco, and wine to honor his parents. He also bought some saltpeter, which her dad asked for to use for fireworks during the festival. The man bought some pig knuckles to make salted hooves to sell as food and drinks. .
As soon as the sky turned dark, they both went home. The woman put the saltpeter on the cabinet and went to settle the accounts. The man stacked the hooves, found the spices, took the salt bowl, and marinated it. After the salt bowl bottomed out, he rummaged around in the cabinet for a paper bag. The contents were still a little salty, so he marinated it. A small stone mill was pressed against the hoof.
A few days later, it was just dawn on February 2nd. The woman got up and prepared to go to her parents' house. Everything else was ready, but she couldn't find the salt. When she told the man, he patted her head and said: "Not good" is probably used as salt. So the "salt" on the pig's trotters was lit with a lamp, and it smoked, and the saltpeter was used as salt. Even the meat is red. This hoof was thrown away and was not returned. There was salt in the meat and no one had eaten it for fear of getting into trouble. The money for the small business was hard to come by and it was very distressing. Just soak it in water for a while and wash it off easily. Put it on the fire for easy cooking, but if you are afraid that the pot will be dry, you will switch to a low fire (fish soaking fire) and simmer until daybreak, take it out and put it on a plate. The couple went back to their parents' home. The next day after I came back, I went to the morning market as usual. When I opened the door, bursts of fragrant smell came out of the house. After a while, an old man with a white beard came. He tied the donkey and walked in. He shouted: "It smells so good!" What kind of delicious food do you sell?”
The man quickly poured a pot of Longjing and said, “We don’t sell food and wine in the morning market, we only sell tea.”
"Your room smells delicious, isn't there some good food on the chopping board?"
The woman's face turned red with anxiety. This is salted meat. I don't know if I can eat it, so she said; " Sorry, that's salted meat, not for food."
"It's not for food, it's just right for tea." The old man put the money on the table and said, "I just smelled the aroma. "It's coming." The woman said; "Old man, let's talk about it first. You can't eat this salted meat. You must eat it. We won't worry about anything happening if you eat it."
"It's a joke." , blame me for being greedy when something happens to me, how can I treat you as the boss?”
The two had no choice but to take out the frozen hooves and cut them into a plate. The man was afraid that the old man would be upset after eating it, so he added a small dish of shredded ginger and put some Zhenjiang's excellent balsamic vinegar in the shredded ginger.
The old man couldn't wait any longer. He reached out and grabbed the meat, dipped it in vinegar and shredded ginger, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it. While eating, he hummed and said, "Okay, the meat tastes so delicious." As he spoke and drank, he ate a large plate of hooves and drank thirty-three pots of tea. From the opening to the closing of the market, he staggered out of the store, untied the donkey, jumped up and rode away backwards.
It turned out that this old man was none other than Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals. He was on his way to the Mother Queen’s Peach Fair. When he passed by Zhenjiang and smelled the fragrance, he didn’t even taste the fairy peaches, especially I came here for the first time to eat salty meat.
How did the couple know about this! I always thought that the old man must have eaten bad food and lost his head. Otherwise, how could he ride the donkey backwards? They thought, but if the food goes bad and the store gets into trouble, they can't run away, so they might as well try it themselves, and they try it one by one. No wonder the old man said this meat is good, it's fragrant and crispy, it's really a slap in the face. Not lost either. This is the first time in my life to eat such delicious meat!
The couple thought it was strange at first, but then they realized the truth after thinking about it. It turned out that the hoof was marinated with five-spice anise and large salt, and also added some saltpeter. It took more time to marinate it properly. Bubble it and cook it over slow fire until the aroma is absorbed into the bone and the aroma can be marinated. It will be crispy and delicious.
From then on, the couple became famous for their meat. Later, people thought that meat with salted meat was not good to taste. Because the ancients thought meat was a delicacy, they simply called it meat. Now, when people in Zhenjiang go to restaurants in the morning, they often make a pot of tea, put a plate of shredded ginger vinegar, and eat it with meat. . In this way, "meat should not be used as food" has been passed down to this day.
The lid of the cooking pot inside the noodle pot: According to legend, a long time ago, there lived a brother and sister somewhere in Shandong. Both parents died, the family was very poor, the brother and sister depended on each other, and life was very hard. One day, my brother unfortunately fell ill and was bedridden without food or drink. My sister wanted to make a bowl of noodles for her brother, so she took out the little white flour she had at home. She rolled the dough thinly and cut it finely. When the soup was boiling, she put the noodles in the pot. Suddenly she remembered that she should I put two eggs to replenish my brother's health. Seeing that the pot was not boiling, I wanted to put the lid on the pot and go get the eggs. In a hurry, I couldn't find the lid, so I put the lid of the soup can into the noodle pot and went to get the eggs. , I looked back and saw that the lid of the soup can was floating on the surface of the small pot. I thought: Oh no, what if the noodles don’t taste good? In order to give the noodles a flavor, she added a lot of condiments, including boiled soy sauce, fragrant sesame oil, fresh shrimps, appetizing pepper, garlic, etc. After the sister cooked the noodles and brought them in, the brother smelled an attractive aroma. His appetite suddenly whetted his appetite and he ate it with big mouthfuls. He thought today's noodles were particularly delicious. The noodles were thin and chewy, soft and Not rotten, smooth and refreshing, fresh and fragrant. After eating it all in one go, he wiped his mouth with his hands and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" After eating the noodles made by his sister, he broke out in a sweat and felt much better.
In the evening, my brother also wants to eat noodles. My sister borrowed two kilograms of noodles from a neighbor's house and made another bowl for her brother. Unexpectedly, his brother stopped eating after only two bites. My sister rolled the noodles thinner, cut them finer, and cooked another bowl. After trying it, it was still not as delicious as the noodles in the morning. Why are the noodles and condiments the same, but the taste is so different? The brother and sister started thinking about it together. They thought about it and finally thought of putting the lid on the soup can. So, the sister put the lid of the soup can into the noodle pot and cooked a bowl of noodles. The noodles were indeed delicious. From then on, the brother and sister continued to cook noodles in this way.
Soon, a locust plague broke out in Shandong. The elder brother placed his sister with relatives and fled to Zhenjiang, an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River where Shangjia gathered.
He first begged for food, then worked odd jobs, and finally saved a little money and opened a noodle shop. He remembered that the pot noodles cooked by his sister when he was sick were so delicious, so he started to specialize in pot noodles here, and the business was indeed very good.
My sister in Shandong was very anxious when she saw that her brother had not returned for a long time. Someone happened to send a message saying that she saw her brother begging for food in Zhenjiang, so she decided to go to Zhenjiang to find him. After all the hard work, she finally arrived in Zhenjiang. All her money had been spent and she had no choice but to beg. On this day, she came to the street and saw a noodle shop doing very well, so she squeezed in to ask for some noodles. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a small lid floating in the big noodle pot. Her heart felt hot, and tears burst into her eyes. The scene of cooking noodles for my brother a few years ago suddenly came to mind. The brother who was lowering his head to fish for noodles looked up and saw his ragged sister standing in front of the noodle pot. The two of them yelled and couldn't help crying. From then on, the brother and sister opened a shop together, with the older brother serving as a waiter and the younger sister working as a cook. The business was booming. The brother and sister were born in poverty and often helped beggars who fled the country.
Not long after, the lid of the pot broke, and a lame old carpenter with a black beard and rags came in. The brother and sister saw that he was pitiful and wanted to help him, so they asked him to make a new one. After the new pot lid was completed, the brother and sister not only paid their wages in full, but the younger sister also used the newly made pot lid to prepare a large bowl of noodles for the old man. The old carpenter praised the noodles repeatedly while eating them, and after finishing the noodles, he touched his beard. I saw a burst of green smoke and the person disappeared. It turned out that the kindness of the brother and sister moved the Eight Immortals Tieguai Li. From then on, the customers found that the noodles were more delicious, and they spread the word from ten to ten. With the younger sister's ingenuity, diligence and neatness, the noodle shop business became more and more prosperous.
