The Chinese have loved for 3000 years, don’t eat this kind of dish, don’t pass the autumn

The autumn wind rises, sticks to autumn. In addition to eating meat, there is another kind of umami that is loved by food, that is, autumn.

Although there are ravioli all year round, stewed a pot of soup after autumn, soft and glutinous moisturizing, which is the true autumn flavor.

Right now is the bumper season. As one of the "water eight immortals" in the south, the cricket has always occupied a place for the dining table.

However, for so many years, do you really understand all kinds of rumors about 这么?

How many holes are the best? Who is the workers who are perforated (wrong)? Is the band when it was a child? Axin came to eat today and ate it.

Eating ravioli thousands of years, China's unique lotus root culture

Lotus root produced in India and China, so far has been cultivated for thousands of years, and is widely cultivated in the Yangtze River Basin and south of China.

As early as "Eria", there was the most primitive record of the lotus root: "Lotus, Fushu ... its roots".

However, don't get me wrong. The ravioli is not the root of the lotus, but the stem of the lotus, and the mustard on the ravioli is the root.

The history of Chinese people eat ravioli is also very early. For example, in the famous Ma Wangdui Han tomb, a pot of lotus root soup was unearthed, and the slices were clearly visible.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Qi Min Yao Shu", there is already a steaming method. Wipe the ravioli, cut off the nodes, pour the pupa holes with honey, then seal the holes with a crispy noodles, steam it, and eat it. Remove the butter noodles, pour honey, and sliced ​​the lotus slices. This approach has been a shadow of glutinous rice sugar today.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, specialty products in some places had "fame in the First World War."

Bayhe has the world's strange world, and his body is rare.

The body is three feet without flaws, and the heart has more than knowing the rhinoceros.

Shenpin has flowers and flowers, and Linggen is alone in the hometown mud.

During the seven hundred years, it was a tribute.

By the Ming Dynasty, there was a record of "藕, Binhu people used planting as industry, and their best people seemed to be produced by Hengtang" in the Ming Dynasty. Discovered.

Today, lotus root planting has also brought economic benefits to many villages. Picture source: Xinhuanet

Because lotus root contains starch and protein, the sugar content is also very high, and wild ravioli also served as food during the ancient famine years.

The ancients who loved foods naturally found that the taste of the crickets was crispy. In "Suiyuan Food List", Yuan Mei expressed his preference for crispy crickets:

Cooked ravioli

The cricket must be cooked with sugar and sugar, and the soup is very good. Takeaway people use gray water, taste changes, and do not eat. Yu Sexi eats tenderness, although soft and cooked with teeth, so the taste is also. As soon as the old ravioli is cooked into mud, there is no taste.

Documentary "Nourish All things"

Lotus root can not only be full of hunger and satisfy the desire of the tongue, but also a cultural image with rich connotation. It can be both a high -profile character with "mud and not dyed", or "red cricket incense and jade" Wan to sorrow.

Even the shredded silk after breaking can be cited by literati and ink.

Zhou Bangyan wrote that "Taoxi does not make a calm living, Qiu Ji never comes without continuity."

And Su Shi wrote "Lang Xiao's Silk Silk, Long Silk Smile Lang", with continuous silk silk, showing the longness of love for love.

But after saying so much, people are most concerned about the problem: how to pick the best?

How many holes should there be?

In the hearts of the food, the crickets are divided into two types: "crispy" and "powder".

In the vegetable market rivers and lakes are circulating the "seven -hole powder, nine -hole crispy" picking tactics. Is this a scientific basis, or is it a false statement of the vendor?

This must be clearly figured out, what exactly is the holes of the. (Of course, it is estimated that some people are like Axin, and there are never many holes that have never been counted)

作为一种水生植物，莲藕生在淤泥之中，空气稀薄，为了顺利生长，藕就长出了许多大大小小的孔，来与水面上的部分贯通，让叶片上吸收来的氧气能够运输到Underground, let the bottom stem breathe.

Therefore, the large and small holes are the ventilation organization of 的, of course, the better, the better.

Researcher Liu Yiman of the Institute of Vegetable Science in Wuhan City, once specially "wrote a text for Kong" and wrote a division of "Lotus Root and" Seven Confucius "and" Nine Confucius "? "Come to the issue of popular science.

Without the size of the hole, more than ten holes can be counted on the cross section of the. Generally speaking, seven holes and nine holes are numbered in the middle of the middle.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the "Seven Horch", a circle in the middle, in addition to 7 large holes, there are two obvious small holes.

In fact, 9 holes are fixed on the cross -section of various 横, just like people with ten fingers. The so -called "nine holes" is that the two small holes are also developing relatively large (but it is still smaller than the other 7 holes); and in the "seven -hole ravioli", the two small holes have 1 or 2 All of them are not obvious, so they are ignored and are considered to have only 7 holes.

There are also some special conditions, and even more than 9 large holes have become "ten holes." In some places, growers are unique to propagate their own crickets with the number of holes, but they are not based on it.

Pole pores are small and do not determine the taste, and it has nothing to do with the variety.

There is also a way of picking the ravioli to "discern the ravioli". The white ravioli is mostly crispy, and the yellow ravioli has many powder. In fact, this is also foundable, not a hundred tests. According to the science popularization of Researcher Liu Yiman's article, whether it is pink or crispy, it is mainly determined by the variety, such as "Hubei No. 5", "Hubei 8", "Hubei 9", etc. Unrealistic, the most direct way is to ask the seller.

In addition, it can also be distinguished according to the seasonal command. Generally, in June to July, the crickets in the Yangtze River Basin are crispy. In August and September of each year, the present is the mature season of the variety of powder varieties of the Yangtze River Basin.

The autumn wind rises, when you eat it!

Speaking of eating ravioli, Hubei people must be a "expert" level of food. After all, the area and output of lotus root in Hubei Province are the first in the country.

Hubei has a characteristic 一 一 藕 藕 藕, also known as loquat silk vegetables, has a slender shape, cuts it down, and the cross -section is like a reduced version of the ravioli.

Axin, who had eaten the band for the first time (northerner was correct), issued a surprise question: "Is this a special species of small crickets?"

The band can basically be understood as the 藕 藕. To be precise, the band is a young and tender root formed by the early stages of the lotus plant, which is just a interval and top bud at the top of the root of the root stem. After the conditions are mature, the band will expand to the ravioli we know.

The band was originally launched in early summer, but in recent years, it can be eaten from early April to October. The way of eating the band is more important than the change of the lotus, and it is more particular about retaining its most essential taste: crispy, tender. Stir -fried bands, hot and sour bands are the most popular, with brittle taste, hot and sour appetizers.

Right now, the autumn wind is rising, it is the time when the pink and tender pink ravioli harvests.

The glutinous rice sugar ravioli has a delicious taste. The delicate taste is full of glutinous rice with the same soft glutinous rice in the middle, and then it is also sprinkled with osmanthus honey that is also limited to autumn. It is really eating autumn into the mouth.

Want to stick to the autumn crickets of "both vegetarian and vegetables", and pork ribs soup is the first choice in many people's hearts.

Senior foodies have studied this dish. The soup must be stewed in a casserole. If the iron pot is used, it will make the lotus dyeing black and affect the color. The soup color is slightly brilliant and red, the taste is the freshest.

You can also eat it as a snack. Some northern regions love to make fried ravioli boxes. The two thin slices are covered with meat in the middle of the pork, frying golden in the pan, slightly crispy on the surface, and soft inside.

It is also fried. The Wuhan people make the fried sea, cut the lotus into shreds, wrap the flour, and generally do not add meat filling. It is more like a snack that children love to eat.

Even people who do n’t like to eat crickets, many of them are difficult to escape the charm — the autumn wind is cool.

Having said so much, do you love crispy or pink? What is the unique way of eating in your hometown? It's better to come to the comment area Battle!
