Yesterday, my husband's old friend, a surgeon from Rongcheng District Hospital, had a rare weekend off and specially drove to Putian to eat crispy meat. This is not surprising. Putian crispy meat is a well-known afternoon snack. Crispy butcher shops can be seen everywhere in the center of Putian town, and villages of all sizes also have their own crisp butcher shops, which together with bamboo shoot restaurants have become a unique landscape full of regional characteristics in Putian.

Crispy meat is crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, with rich fillings. Just the fillings in vegetables, there are cabbage, leeks and, of course, local "bamboo shoots". Shred bamboo shoots and put a piece of pickled lean meat on them. The freshness of bamboo shoots and the spicy taste of lean meat, on the one hand, are antagonistic, on the other hand, blend, and the crispy fried skin outside is really delicious. Every afternoon, the period from going to work to getting off work is the busiest and busiest period for various pastry shops in Putian.

most businesses are like this, especially delicious food. If you eat too much of one kind of food, you will compare the most authentic and delicious way in that store. The same is true of crispy meat, although the crispy meat of every crispy butcher shop in Putian tastes good; Especially for people who are not picky like me, they are all delicious, which makes my happiness index burst. No matter which crispy meat it is, I have eaten it with relish, and I have never found it and missed it, let alone hit the nail on the head. However, senior gourmets are different. They can often judge by comparison. Although everyone's tastes are different, if you want to be a representative or a model, people generally think that it is Lao Ling's Ah Fu crisp meat. This seems to have been officially recognized, and many portals in Jieyang have also reported on this crisp butcher shop, making "Laoling Ahu Crispy Meat" famous.

Even so, as a native of Putian, I'm too lazy to go to Laoling to eat Ah Fu crispy meat. For one thing, I think all kinds of crispy meat in Putian Dayuan are delicious. Every time I eat crispy meat, I don't avoid getting angry, which leads to occupational sore throat. I must eat enough. Secondly, I dislike that the road to Laoling is too far away, which is about three kilometers away from my home. For me, who has been rushing to work on weekdays, I will not go further and further. Therefore, although I know that there is crisp pork with Ah Fu in Laoling, which is famous throughout Jieyang and even the whole eastern Guangdong, I have never been there.

However, today, my friend, the attending surgeon with the least rest days, came to Putian to eat crispy meat on a rare weekend, and he didn't want it unless he wanted it from Laoling Ahu. Of course, he can't be fooled and neglected. So, set out. Anyway, I haven't tried it, and it can be verified whether it is overstated.

Laoling Village is relatively remote, about three kilometers away from the center of Putian Town. Although it is a mountain road, it bends around, but it is a cement road, and it is not bumpy at all. There are banana forests on both sides except bamboo forests. Banana, another main crop in Putian, is second only to bamboo shoots in quantity and scale. It is precisely because the bamboo forest and banana forest are bright green and the air is exceptionally fresh.

The crisp pork of Laoling Ahu is not far from the corner, less than 2 meters. You can see it as far as you can see, but the boss carefully hung up the signboard.

The storefront of Ah Hu Crispy Meat is an ordinary self-built house built by two farmers. There is no decoration, and there are no exquisite tables and chairs. Everything is the most common farmhouse decoration. After all, we're not here for coffee, we're here for mountain food. Simplicity is natural and sincere.

I'm interested in the process of frying crispy meat. So as soon as I got off the bus, I rushed to the kitchen next to the house. It was a non-cement building with about 2 square meters welded with iron sheets. Perhaps it was because the fried crispy meat had a strong smell of oil smoke, and the walls were easily smoked yellow and black. Perhaps it was to provide customers with a more refreshing food space, or perhaps it was both.

What surprises me most is that there is only one stove and one cauldron in other pastry shops, but there are one big one and one small one in Lao Ling Ahu! The big one is a fixed stove, which is as big as the standard household stove in the past. The tripod is also as big as the tripod used for steaming chickens, ducks and geese during the Chinese New Year holiday. Ah Fu personally cooks the tripod. There is also a small tripod, which is also on a fixed stove, but uses a movable explosion furnace commonly used in hotels, and Ah Fu's son is in charge of the first process. Other people's crispy meat is a process, which is baked at one time, but Ahu's can only be baked in two processes. The son softens the crispy meat slurry, degreases it, and then returns it to the pot by his father. Is there a lot of articles in this? I can't wait!

Fortunately, it's early. It's not three o'clock yet. There aren't so many people. Basically, they take away a lot. Our party doesn't have to wait that long. I can't wait as soon as the crispy meat is served. When I chewed it, I found that there was really a big difference. Not only is it not too hot, but the crispy skin is almost not a little brown, but it is crispy and reminds me of the fried dough sticks stuffed with meat in Wang Zengqi's prose Cooking-"Fried dough sticks have alum, which is more flavor than spring rolls." The fried dough sticks are extremely crisp, and chewing them can really make people feel ten miles. " I think it is most appropriate to use Wang Lao's words to describe the crisp meat of Laoling Ahu. No wonder people don't hesitate to come from the city, just for this crispy bite! Laoling Ahu crispy meat can be said to be the highest level in Putian crispy meat industry, and it is the ultimate food in Chaoshan area, belonging only to people who are intelligent, hardworking and not afraid of fatigue. Mr. Wang Lao also said: "The mouth is to the taste, and there are the same hobbies." Indeed, people love to eat delicious food. In order to eat it, they do not hesitate to travel a long way. Pu Tian Lao Ling A Hu crisp meat is so delicious.

According to the villagers, there is a long history of Lao Ling Ahu Crispy Meat, which has a history of more than forty years. This crisp butcher shop was first cooked by Ah Fu's father-in-law. Now Ah Fu has taken over his father-in-law's spatula and continues to dedicate this delicious snack to people from far and near who come here. Good things should not be lost and disappeared, but should be passed on and spread far away; Food is culture, and so is it. Laoling Ahu crispy meat is well-deserved, and this trip is extremely enjoyable!

After four o'clock in the afternoon, people began to eat snacks to satisfy their hunger, and the crisp meat of Laoling Ahu also ushered in the busiest peak every day. Because it takes time to cook snacks now, because it pays attention to temperature, the crisp meat is a little hard when it is cold, and its taste is greatly reduced, so people at some distance basically don't pack it. At this time, Ah Fu and his son are probably too busy. In order to meet the needs of customers waiting at the scene as soon as possible, they almost refused all packing and take-out business. Generally, members of family workshops are the most prone to quarrel, and they are all members of their own family, so there is no need to be afraid. Once they are too busy, they will be grumpy and swear, but Ah Fu's family is very calm, warm, friendly and polite from beginning to end.

I have to remind you that if you want to pack, you'd better go before three o'clock. The business hours of Laoling Ahu crisp meat are from 1: 3 to 6: pm, and they are often sold out before 6: pm, so they are no longer available, because those fillings, especially lean slices, need time to soak and taste, and Ahu would rather be short than lower the quality. Therefore, it's early to eat Ah Fu crisp meat.

It's summer, and it's not the hottest time for Ah Fu's crispy meat business, but winter. I really don't know what a spectacular scene it was at that time. This also makes me feel that it is enough for a person to have a skill. There are 36 lines in life, and only one thing is exquisite, so it is infinitely moving.
