Wang Zengqi
1. Eat duck eggs on Dragon Boat Festival Wang Zengqi
My hometown is a water town. Duck. Gaoyou Shelduck is a famous duck breed. There are many ducks and many duck eggs. Gaoyou people are also good at pickling duck eggs. Gaoyou salted duck eggs are famous. In southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, whenever someone asks me about my place of origin, after answering, the person will be in awe: "Oh! You have salted duck eggs there!" Salted duck eggs are also sold in Shanghai salted duck eggs, and they must be marked with: " Gaoyou Salted Egg”.
Gaoyou also sells double yellow duck eggs. Occasionally there are double yellow duck eggs in other places, but not as many as in Gaoyou, so they can be exported in bulk. The taste of the double duck eggs is nothing special. It’s just a duck egg! It's just that after cutting it open, there are two round yellow ones inside, which is amazing. I am not happy to praise Gaoyou duck eggs to strangers, as if duck eggs are produced in our poor place! But the salted duck eggs in Gaoyou are really good. I have been to many places and eaten many duck eggs, but none of them are as good as those in my hometown!
It used to be difficult to make water in the sea, and I really despised the salted duck eggs from other places. Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" has a "pickled egg". I don't like Yuan Zicai. The recipes of the dishes in his "Food List" are what I have heard about. He can't cook himself. But "Pickled Egg", after reading it, I felt very friendly and "glorious". The article is not long, but the record is as follows: The most delicious salted eggs in Gaoyou are delicate in color and rich in oil. Gao Wenduan is my favorite. During the banquet, first use it to honor the guests and put it on the plate. It is advisable to keep cutting the shells, and use both yellow and white; do not leave the yellow to turn into white, otherwise the flavor will be incomplete and the oil will be dispersed. "
The characteristics of Gaoyou salted eggs are good quality and more oil. The egg white is very tender, unlike the dry and pink ones in other places, and it feels like chewing lime in the mouth. There is more oil than anywhere else. Duck eggs The way to eat it, as Yuan Zicai said, is to cut it open in the shell. This is a way to entertain guests. Usually, when eating, it is eaten with chopsticks. The red oil comes out. The yellow color of Gaoyou salted eggs is red. There is a famous dish in northern Jiangsu called "Cinnabar Tofu", which is fried tofu with Gaoyou duck egg yolk.
The salted duck eggs I ate in Beijing. , the egg yolk is light yellow, called salted duck egg! On the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, my aunt or sister tied the rope with colorful silk thread, and the duck eggs were cooked. Children can choose one. What are the options for duck eggs? Yes! There are two kinds of duck shells: white and light green.
Not to mention that duck eggs are all the same. Some look silly and some look delicate. What's so cool about putting them in a necklace and hanging them on the lapel button? However, it is a favorite decoration for children. When the children are happy, they take out the duck eggs. They are freshly pickled and have only a slight salty taste.
Children are very careful when eating duck eggs. They do not break the egg shell except for knocking out the empty ones. After eating the yolk, clean the inside of the duck egg with clean water. At night, they catch fireflies and put them in the egg shell. A thin layer of paste. The fireflies twinkled in the duck egg shells and looked great!
When I was reading the story of Fireflies Yingxue, I felt like the Che Yin of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was filled with cultivation capsules. Ten fireflies. After reading it, it’s better to use duck egg shells to read. But is it okay to read a book with fireflies all night long? Che Yin is reading a handwritten newspaper with big words written on it. , probably not enough.
