Luoyang soup has a long history, at least dating back to the Zhou Dynasty. Liao Weiyi: "(Jiang) Taigong (Lu) hopes to be 70 years old, and he will kill cattle and sing, selling food and eating. When he meets, he will raise 30,000 people, and the world will be settled." Sima Zhen, a historian of the Tang Dynasty, said: "(Jin) Qiao Zhou said,' Lv Wang tasted killing cattle and selling wine in the Song Dynasty.'" "(see Historical Records. Qi Taigong Family), it can be said that this kind of Luoyang beef soup originated from the earliest written records.
The bowl of soup in my memory is the delicious mutton soup decades ago, which left me unforgettable memories. Over the years, I have drunk twelve kinds of soups in Luoyang, but I don't know what happened. I quietly like the sweet beef soup in Luoyang. So, I went to Luoyang street to find sweet beef soup to drink.
Seeing the soup restaurant with sweet and salty beef soup written on the door, I will go in and buy a bowl of sweet soup to taste, then a bowl of salty soup, add some salt, chopped green onion and pepper, and eat two bowls of soup with different flavors, which is very comfortable.
However, many beef soup restaurants in Luoyang do not indicate sweet and salty beef soup.
Once I went to my brother Lao Li's beef soup restaurant to have soup, bought a ticket and took sweet beef soup from the soup mouth, and I got a rebuff. They only sell salty soup, even the big piece of beef in the bowl is salty, so I have to do it myself.
There are also some beef soup restaurants, such as Zhiweixiang beef soup. I went to have soup and asked for a bowl of sweet beef soup. I was given a bowl of sweet soup, and I sat in the corner of the soup house and tasted it slowly.
In Xigong District and jianxi district, there are soup houses with Dongguan brand sweet and salty beef soup, and the business is booming. One day at noon, I went to a soup restaurant and bought a bowl of sweet beef soup to drink. Seeing that the soup is weak, I feel that the taste of Dongguan beef soup is less after drinking it. In the afternoon, my stomach was a little uncomfortable and I had diarrhea. I don't know if my stomach got cold during my lunch break or if I couldn't drink the soup. A friend heard that I went to that soup restaurant to have soup, so he privately asked me the location of that soup restaurant and wanted to have a taste, but I didn't tell him. I only recommend my favorite soup. I can keep healthy soup.
I drank too much soup in Luoyang, and I also knew several soup bosses. One of them is Mr Zhang Yaojie, who is an expert in cooking beef soup. On the eve of the opening of his Sanweiniu Soup Restaurant, I went to drink his clear soup. It looks yellow, very clear, much like a bowl of fragrant tea.
Later, his Sanwei beef soup changed its taste, which was a bit like Dongguan soup, so that once I went to the Cimin Sweet and Salty Beef Soup Restaurant in Chanhe District to have soup, I felt that the two soups tasted similar.
Some time ago, I heard that Zhang Yaojie went to the old ferry not far from the entrance of Geely Yellow River Wetland Park to give technical guidance on beef soup. I watched the Yellow River with my parents and tasted his beef soup. Laodukou beef soup is different from Dongguan beef soup and Jian Xi beef soup. It should be a combination of the two, but not bad. Deeply loved by local people, it is called the first sweet soup of Geely. Tang Jiangang, the master of Zhang Yaojie, later went to taste the old ferry beef soup, which was well received.
Luoyang sweet beef soup, or sweet soup for short, has a long history in Luoyang and is probably the only one in China. This sweet soup refers to beef soup without salt and sugar, which is a unique name of Luoyang and probably related to the high-quality water source in Luoyang. Good water is naturally slightly sweet when boiled, similar to the name of Luoyang folk sweet noodles.
You can't judge a book by its cover, and neither can soup. Good soup is not necessarily good, and good soup is not necessarily good. It is delicious in color, smell and taste, which probably only exists in the ideal. In the senior banquet hall and the folk local snacks, taste is king. So you can't be too particular about drinking soup in Luoyang. Some soup houses are not amazing in appearance, but there are many thieves and many old customers, which is enough to explain the problem.
The sweet beef soup in Luoyang is still the most abundant in Chanhe District and the old city. So some people in the old city are so proud that they threaten to look down on Jian Xi soup. In fact, people's soup kitchens are very low-key, modest, kind, making money and selling a pot of good soup day after day.
Luoyang's sweet beef soup, there are several very qualified, very famous, it is worth a taste to come to Luoyang to drink sweet soup. Among them, the old Dongguan sweet and salty beef soup in Wan 'an Street in the old city, Majia sweet and salty beef soup in Chanhe Lane, MaWuzhou sweet and salty beef soup, Ma Xiao sweet and salty beef soup, Beiyao Muslim Ginkgo beef soup, Cimin sweet and salty beef soup in Chanhe District and Maheidan Muslim beef soup in Guiyuan Road in Chanhe District all have sweet soup, which has a good reputation and many loyal fans.
Everyone is hard to adjust, not to mention the soup in these soup houses. I respect the old masters who are still cooking and selling soup in the soup hall. For them, cooking and selling soup are decades of accumulation, and the boiled soup is the old taste of Luoyang, which deserves great trust. Most older people are very conservative and have no impulse to innovate, but they pay more attention to their own reputation, and they are extremely unwilling to be scolded by others, and even more unwilling to live up to the love of his old soup customers, so the master himself is a gold-lettered signboard.
To cook a pot of soup well, you need fresh beef and beef bones. Soak it in bloodletting water, put it in a large pot with clear water and cook it slowly. The cauldron should be filled with its own special secret package. The size and time of boiling soup are all made by our own craft, and some of them boil until 16 hours. The formula of material package is the secret recipe of housekeeping. Many beef soup restaurants start selling soup at 6 am. A pot of cooked soup can smell the fragrance all the way, and when you drink it in your mouth, gee, the taste is naturally different. Wanderers who return to Luoyang from other places want to eat the delicacies of their hometown or drink a bowl of soup from their hometown. A bowl of soup, a city, a culture and a feeling are unforgettable memories of my hometown.
When drinking sweet beef soup, I like to sit quietly and taste it slowly, or I can drink it slowly with a spoon.
A good sweet soup is fragrant in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste. All kinds of spices are balanced and compatible, and none of them suddenly exists. To enhance the flavor of the material, it is enough to suppress the fishy smell, and the natural flavor of beef and beef bones must not be masked. Therefore, boiling sweet beef soup is a unique skill of Luoyang beef soup, not built in a day.
I like to drink a bowl of sweet beef soup first, and then a bowl of salty beef soup. The mellow flavor of sweet beef soup and the fresh flavor of salty beef soup alternately stimulate the taste buds of oral cavity, which has a wonderful feeling and is also a kind of enjoyment, and I have not been hungry for a long time, so Luoyang also has the saying that "sweet soup nourishes people".
Well, whatever I say, it's just a personal feeling. To know the taste of pears, you must taste them yourself. Luoyang City is half the history of China. Luoyang is an ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, a famous international tourist and cultural city, a millennium imperial city, a peony city and a soup city. Food is the most important thing for people. When you travel to Luoyang, you must drink a bowl of Luoyang soup, feel the old taste of Luoyang soup and truly experience the customs of Luoyang, the ancient capital.
There is a saying: "If you don't drink Luoyang soup, it's not Luoyang". In Luoyang, Tang Cheng, people who don't drink a bowl of sweet beef soup are embarrassed to say that they are senior soup customers!
Peace and prosperity are good for spring, and Luoyang enjoys flowers and soup. Come on, come to Luoyang and try this bowl of old sweet beef soup! Oh, by the way, the Tang family in Luoyang is extremely kind and friendly. Adding soup is free, and adding soup is preferred. If you can't drink sweet soup, you can add salt yourself. If you like this soup, you can also shout "Boss, more soup!" " "You will feel at home.
