Rong ** reporter Chen Linghong.
Recently, Harbin and all parts of the country "return gifts" have exposed the hidden specialties of various places. As the New Year approaches, people in a foreign land will leave for home, and what Quanzhou specialties will they bring with them in their suitcases? What hometown specialties will they bring back after the year? In this issue, let's talk about the flavor of the north and the south gathered in the suitcase.
Mr. Shi (32 years old) from his hometown of Zhumadian, Henan:
Bring pork meal and mochi rice
Bring back the eggs and sesame oil
Pork meal, hemp rice and inch jujube are the most bringed. Mr. Shi, who is engaged in film and television work in Quanzhou, is a native of Zhumadian, Henan, and has worked in Quanzhou for many years. "Pork meal can be beer, and hemp and jujube are snacks that the elderly and children love to eat. Mr. Shi said.
When you come back, you will definitely be loaded with 100 eggs and a few barrels of sesame oil! Mr. Shi said that changing eggs is homesickness, and it is also a food that I couldn't afford to eat when I was a child. He introduced that with lime and edible alkali, pour the boiled water and puree, and then put the raw eggs into it to wrap in a layer of mud, take it out and then stain it with some sawdust, and finally let it dry for about half a month. He said that the egg is very similar to the preserved egg, but the difference is that the egg is made of eggs, and it looks crystal clear after peeling.
When I was a child, I could only eat it when I was harvesting wheat, and adults would bring out eggs with beer, which was a good food at the time. Mr. Shi said that in the past, there was a saying in his hometown: "Sitting on the sofa and watching color TV, drinking beer will turn into eggs." It means that at that time, eggs were like sofas and color TVs, and they were food that only rich families could afford.
Maybe I ate less when I was a child, but now I have a mentality to make up for it. Mr. Shi said that his hometown is also rich in sesame seeds, so he will bring some sesame oil to share with friends and colleagues.
Mr. Liu (36 years old) from his hometown of Pizhou, Jiangsu:
Bring tea and Jinjiang**
Bring back the pancakes and garlic
My dad likes to drink liquor and makes tea, so he will bring some Kinmen sorghum and Tieguanyin tea to him, and there are many brands of Jinjiang ** and sportswear, and he will also buy some to take home. Mr. Liu, who has settled in Quanzhou, goes home once a year, and every time he goes home, he sends back a large box of gifts. "Buying clothes for the elderly, they felt stylish, and bought more than a dozen sets in the summer of the first year, and two or three sets in the winter, which made the two old people very happy. ”
Our hometown is the hometown of garlic, every year to harvest garlic, my mother has to give me a big box, fresh garlic is spicy and fragrant. According to Mr. Liu, the pancakes in his hometown are very similar to the moist crust in Quanzhou, but they are slightly thicker and have a more elastic taste. "Pancakes roll everything, just like the rice side dish of the southerners, we are pancake rolls. Mr. Liu said that pancakes can't be left for too long, and if they are hard or crispy, they can't be cabbage, so they can only bring one or two catties each time, and if they want to eat them, they will send them at home.
Ms. Liu (45 years old) from Congjiang, Guizhou:
Bring dried seafood
Bring back fragrant pigs and cows
Ms. Liu is a Miao ethnic group from Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and became a daughter-in-law of Hui'an after marrying Chongwu in Hui'an, but she has never forgotten the local flavor engraved into her bones. Her favorites are the fragrant pig and beef deflated in her hometown, both of which are very characteristic local delicacies. "Congjiang's Xiaoxiang pig is considered to be one of the most primitive pig breeds in China, generally slaughtered in 6 to 8 months, weighing no more than 80 catties, with delicate meat and its own fragrance. Ms. Liu said that this kind of fragrant pig roast is the most delicious, but she can only bring one with her every time she comes back.
The production method of cow deflated is to take the food that is not completely digested in the stomach and small intestine after the cow is slaughtered, squeeze out the liquid, add cow bile and various ingredients, put it in the pot and boil it slowly and then filter out impurities, and finally add salt, onion and garlic, chili pepper, etc., and then take this little soup to make a hot pot base or dry pot. Ms. Liu said that the cow scab smells so bad that it can even stink the whole house, but it tastes very good. I used to like to use beef deflated to make boiled or hot pot, but now I like to make dry pot, which is fragrant and spicy. Ms. Liu said that she had never dared to try it in Chongwu for fear that her family would not be able to stand its stench. However, the dried seafood such as dried squid and dried scallops that she brought back to her hometown from Chongwu are very fond of by her family.
Ms. Chen (35 years old), daughter-in-law from Northeast China from Quanzhou:
Bring tea leaves, garlic sticks
Bring back Nanguo pears and millet
Tea leaves and snacks are easier to bring, and the garlic branches are similar to twist flowers, but they don't have the smell of garlic on their side. Ms. Chen from Quanzhou is now a daughter-in-law in Northeast China, and she and her husband have been living in Quanzhou for work reasons, and every time they go back to their mother-in-law's house in Northeast China, they have to bring several large suitcases of luggage. She said that Yingkou City in Liaoning Province is also close to the sea, and there is no shortage of seafood in both places, so she did not bring this kind of food.
Nanguo pear is sweet and sour, melts in the mouth, and is very special. When it comes to the Liaoning specialties she brings back every time, Ms. Chen's favorite is the fruits from the Northeast. She said that Nanguo pears should be eaten after being softened, which is delicate and juicy. "1 pound of cherries will not exceed 20 yuan, and 1 pound of strawberries will be 6 yuan, but unfortunately it is not easy to bring, and you can only bring back a little bit each time. Ms. Chen said that when it comes to the black soil of Northeast China, rice, millet and other coarse grains cannot be let go, which is cheap, and "cooking porridge for her daughter is particularly fragrant."
