Every time I come to Zunyi, I can't help ordering a bowl of rice skin with red oil at a stall or rice noodle shop. The entrance is smooth and slightly Q-shaped, which is the perfect chapter for the beginning of a new journey.

The production technology of Zunyi rice skin is similar to that of Shaanxi cold rice noodles. Mix rice and flour, grind into rice slurry, and steam in a vessel for a few minutes.

The rice skin is thick and Q-shaped, and the entrance is smooth, as if dancing on the tip of the tongue. Then pour in the secret red oil to make the rice skin sticky and spicy. The organic combination of the two almost perfectly fits the taste of Zunyi people. Moreover, the aroma of red oil can arouse people's appetite in an instant and stir it evenly. Snow-white rice skin is covered with a layer of fiery cloud color like sunset glow, the glands under the oral mucosa begin to secrete "golden jade liquid", and the stomach also blows the horn of battle. I can't wait to swallow the bowl together.

Every boss has different red oil rice skin side dishes, but mung bean sprouts are absolutely essential as top side dishes. Red and white red rice skin with tender and crisp mung bean sprouts not only gives the red rice skin a refreshing and sweet taste, but also neutralizes the stimulation brought by red oil to diners' taste buds. Coupled with the embellishment of mung bean-sized onions, it is like enjoying a "sunset grassland" with strong color contrast.

In this bowl, the organic combination of white, red and green has turned this humble street snack into a pleasing artistic painting. Even in the hot summer, as long as a bowl of Zunyi red oil rice skin is served, all the irritability and heat will disappear in an instant, peaceful and refreshing. It would be better to add a spoonful of old vinegar that can neutralize the greasy feeling!

Zunyi red oil rice skin is an indelible and precious memory of two generations of Zunyi people. It has experienced vicissitudes and hardships with Zunyi people, witnessed the changes in Zunyi in recent decades, explored the taste world with Zunyi people, and grew up in the real society.

I will leave Zunyi again in two days. At that time, I will order a bowl of rice skin with red oil in the small shop at the entrance of Maocaopu Bus Terminal, which will draw a beautiful full stop for this short journey.
