There is a folk saying in Guizhou:
"Guiyang talks about clothes, Anshun talks about eating and drinking".
The night I came to Anshun happened to be Wednesday, and I needed to host a reading program. So, after arranging accommodation and eating a little fruit, I began to prepare for the relevant preparations before the host. After I hosted the program, it was dark, so I could just go out and have a look, visit the small streets of Anshun and experience the living conditions of Anshun.
Anshun is a small city, but there are many snacks. We visited four stores that night just to taste different styles of food.
At 9 o'clock in Anshun, it's getting late, and many shops are sold out. I walked into this small shop and wanted to see what special food there was. As soon as I entered the door, the red menu on the wall suddenly read "Spicy Chicken", which is a special dish in Guizhou, but it is weighed by the catty, but it is still a bit interesting.
every basic store in Anshun in summer has cold drinks or desserts.
Anshun buckwheat jelly is very suitable in summer, which is also one of the local specialty foods. I asked if the wrapped rolls were sold out, so let's have a bowl of buckwheat jelly. I saw the proprietress skillfully scraping the bean jelly, and after a tinkling, a bowl of powder was generated.
This flour product is very suitable for this summer. It is spicy and delicious, and it is very refreshing. Its ingredients are very rich, which seems to be more than the kinds of side dishes in other places. It is more seasoned with homemade pickles and other foods.
Now let's talk about this old state spicy chicken. It comes from the old state and has a history of more than 6 years. The passage of time has not taken away the inheritance of this dish, and many people have found the taste of home because of this dish.
"I was crazy in my previous life, and I dreamed of the old state." Jiuzhou ancient town has a long history and is one of the top ten ancient towns in Guizhou. It has a history of 23 years since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
I believe everyone has eaten spicy chicken. The first reaction should be fresh chili pepper or fried chicken with dried Chili (spicy skin). But Guizhou spicy chicken is different. According to the proprietress, this spicy chicken was ordered by others and is now on sale. But when we said we wanted to try a catty, we were still stunned when we saw the real thing ...
As shown in the picture, this Guizhou spicy chicken looks more like a hot pot material, covered with red Chili oil, and its proportion with chicken is not as we expected.
Later, it was learned that the chili pepper of the old state spicy chicken must choose Linka pepper named after its spicy and juicy meat, and turn it into thick and bright red "Ciba pepper" with a green stone mortar. The chicken must also choose a red rooster with red crown and golden hair, which is freely raised in Tunbao, with rapeseed sesame oil squeezed by local people, red garlic, turmeric and green pepper produced locally.
as for the way to eat, you can eat it directly, or you can play hot pot and rinse vegetables. the local people eat it mostly by playing hot pot. In order to taste the flavor of the old spicy chicken itself, we decided to taste it directly. The taste is really special, which is different from the general spicy chicken and has a stronger oil aroma.
After tasting the buckwheat jelly and spicy chicken, I wandered around the street, and by the way, I wanted to look for the ice paste ice powder in Anshun, which is a kind of delicious food that can be seen in the streets and alleys of Anshun. Sure enough, I found this small shop after walking through the streets.
I ordered a mango smoothie, and my friend ordered a peach smoothie. After tasting, I found that mango tastes better. This taste has never been tasted in other places. That is to say, I may not be able to eat this taste when I leave Anshun. Fresh fruit production is flavored by the taste of the fruit itself, which is richer than smoothies, with a little rice pulp taste, which is instant in the mouth and very colorful.
although it's past nine o'clock, many stores have sold out of wrapped rolls. But we still found a famous shop nearby, which specializes in making rolls. He Ji * is wrapped in a roll. I was interested when I saw this name, because my surname is He, too. I went to ask and decided to have a taste.
It seems that the material used is slightly different from that of the silk doll, which is made of dough and rolled, while this one is more like the rice skin rolled in the south, with a slippery taste. All kinds of shredded vegetables are added to the store's secret sauce, which is very fast to make, and there are many people coming to eat. Even if it is almost ten o'clock in the evening, you need to wait in line.
This "wrapped roll" of Anshun, which is similar to Guiyang silk doll, is basically eaten one bite at a time. Personally, it feels similar in taste, but each has its own flavor. By comparison, although the silk doll is a famous traditional food in Guizhou, my personal taste seems to be more inclined to the taste of Anshun wrap.
After visiting several shops, it will be past 1 o'clock in the evening, so I rushed back to the hotel to get ready for a rest and make full preparations for the next day's trip.
