The thousand-year-old caravan dishes first entered the "North Gate Bookstore" and floated with new fragrance.
The Yunnan caravan, which shuttled through the mountains, crossed the snowy plateau and walked in the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, once walked out of the "Wuchi Road" in the Qin Dynasty and the "Shudu" in the Han Dynasty. The creation of the "Southern Silk Road" and the "Ancient Tea-Horse Road" transported tea into Tibet and Beijing, and built and transported materials for the war of resistance against Japan, which made great contributions to promoting Sino-foreign trade, Yunnan tea fragrance and the victory of the war of resistance against Japan.
Caravans have made great contributions to the development of Yunnan, which is obvious to all. However, few people think that the caravan that traveled all over Yunnan has made inestimable contributions to the great integration of Yunnan flavor.
A few days ago, the reporter found that the "caravan banquet", which combines the essence of Yunnan flavor and caravan food culture, was specially designed for the caravan to bid farewell and hold a banquet to celebrate the caravan's arrival at its destination. After more than 50 years of extinction, it first appeared in the famous Jinshiyin restaurant in Kunming, which was well received by consumers, especially by gourmets. Created a new world of Yunnan caravan food culture, took the lead in putting the caravan banquet on the Kunming catering market, made up for the thousand-year defect that Yunnan caravan has a history of drinking tea but not eating, and created a big brand with rich historical connotation for Yunnan flavor and China cuisine.
The caravan banquet is fragrant and floating in ancient and modern times
For many years, people's eyes have been used to the "halo" of caravan transporting tea, salt and anti-Japanese war materials, but they have not noticed that due to the particularity of caravan's mobile life, it can travel all over Yunnan, eat all over Yunnan, collect and carry local specialties, absorb the flavors and cooking skills of all ethnic groups in all directions, bring the cooking methods of special dishes in southern Yunnan to central Yunnan, and even more places to northwestern Yunnan, bringing the taste of western Yunnan to southern Yunnan, thus virtually completing the north-south cuisine. Especially whenever the caravan sets out for the first time, or arrives at its destination after a trip, Ma Potou will hold a banquet in the place where the journey stops. Chefs in the caravan will compete to show their talents, hold out their own special dishes, see whose dishes are the most popular, and create a unique caravan feast, which will be passed down from generation to generation in the caravan. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory in the 1940s, especially the great development of Yunnan's transportation industry, the caravan retreated and the caravan banquet quietly withdrew from the "historical stage".
In recent years, the revival of Pu 'er tea culture, tea-horse ancient road culture and caravan culture in Yunnan and even at home and abroad has made intellectuals, artists and Jinshiyin restaurant owners who have long had a soft spot for caravan food culture feel passionate and excited. He worked tirelessly. At that time, Malik SDIC led the chef of Jinshiyin Restaurant who was proficient in Yunnan flavor, riding a modern "blood horse" on the ancient tea-horse road, and pursuing, exploring and collecting caravan dishes like pursuing art.
Modern "caravan" of Jinshiyin Restaurant went to villages along the way to collect caravan dishes, slept in the wind, and visited the horse pot head of that year to find out. After investigating and comparing the local folk flavors and special dishes, I am not ashamed to ask questions and pursue them, and I can't count how many supercilious eyes and nails I have encountered.
This modern caravan covers Menghai, Jinghong, Simao, Pu 'er, Lincang, Yunxian, Fengqing, Baoshan, Changning, Chuxiong, Nanhua, Dali, Weishan, Midu, Xiangyun, Jianchuan, Lijiang, Shangri-La and Diqing Tibetan areas in Xishuangbanna. On the ancient tea-horse road, the taste of caravan dishes, the cooking techniques of various special dishes, the collection and processing of raw materials, the cookware and tableware used by caravan, etc. , collected, thoroughly investigated, investigated, developed and innovated. Finally, a caravan banquet, which integrates caravan cookers, tableware, caravan culture, local customs and unique creativity, was put on the antique square table inlaid with marble and carved with the word "Fu" in Jinshiyin Restaurant. At the caravan banquet, people will feel that they have returned to the caravan ranks on the ancient tea-horse road and raised their glasses to drink when they saw a series of dishes, such as "Ma Guotou" iron hanging pot boiled mutton, "Ma Erguotou" bamboo tube duck on fire, and "Sanma Potou" gourd braised chicken.
There are also those delicious-looking, unique and appetizing scallop and peach kernel stewing "Mara autumn harvest", ham and chicken stewing "spring ploughing", delicious "valley granary", crispy and fragrant "a nest of birds", "caravan delicacies dipped in fresh water" and "camping grilled fish" with iron clips and steel drills crossing the grilled fish, which are convenient to carry. Jasper ivory, delicious and refreshing old Yunnan-style Maguiwa pot, spicy and rich Maguipiao dish, and Fang Qi's "Three Parallel Rivers" three flavors of iron plate pot and other special dishes, played the banner of revitalizing Maguicai, and created the first Maguian banquet in Yunnan.
Mabang impression jinshiyin
The taste of Jin Shiyin's caravan banquet can be said to be a peculiar product of Yunnan flavor, and Jin Shiyin's dining environment is peculiar to Yunnan-style catering enterprises.
The most amazing "Fu" Dangyin Restaurant itself is a key cultural relics protection unit in Kunming. In the 1940s, it was the "Salon" for Kunming's progressive youth and cultural celebrities to meet and exchange, and the "North Gate Bookstore" for patriotic Democrats such as Li Gongpu, Wen Yiduo, Chu Tunan, Zeng Zhaolun, Zhang Guangnian, Wu Han, Pan Guangdan and Zhu Ziqing, as well as famous scholars, professors, poets, writers, literary theorists and scientists to publicize the democratic war of resistance.
Today, the wooden buildings in the former site of Beimen Bookstore are still antique, with wooden doors, windows, screens, dining tables and chairs, cabinets and leading beams and columns, which are in harmony with stone patios, stone jars, stone mortar, stone piers and stone arch bridges. Tea trees, beehives, bird's nests, hemp fibers, hookahs, old record players compete with fish swimming in the Shiquxi outside the building, water wheels to trim bamboo and exotic flowers and grasses. After a hundred years of old saddles, faucets, dry food bags for horses, leather wine bags, daily utensils for caravans, 666 old lanterns from Starlight Glimmer, more than 200 old photos decorating the new guest building of Junzi Building, and many small and lovely bells on tableware all reflect the long-standing light of caravans culture, which makes people sincerely admire the original creation of cultural artist Jin Shiyin on caravans food culture. When people step into Jinshiyin restaurant, there will be a collision of caravan cultures.
