Three specialties of Zhongxiang

As a national historical and cultural city in my country, Zhongxiang is one of the important birthplaces of Chu culture, with more than 2,700 years of historical written records. In Zhongxiang, there is the World Cultural Heritage Ming Tomb; there is the Huangxian Cave, a national 4A-level scenic spot; and Mochou Lake, named after Mochou Nu, the singer of the Chu Palace in the Warring States Period, is full of cultural charm. As a county-level city in Hubei Province, its glory is difficult to conceal. Today, the editor will talk about Zhongxiang’s three major specialties. As the saying goes, "Tiaozi crisps are beautifully shaped and fragrant when cooked." The pastry is made of refined flour, sesame oil, sesame, and refined salt fertilizer. It is made by kneading the dough, adjusting the pastry, wrapping the pastry, making the pastry, and cutting it into strips. This pastry has a golden color, a mellow and crispy texture, and is digestible in the mouth. characteristics. It is said that since the Tang Dynasty, Zhongxiang's strips of cake can not only be used as snacks and staple food, but also as a delicious accompaniment to tea and drinking. It is suitable for all ages all year round. By the 10th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zhongxiang's specialty shortbread cakes and Panlong dishes were listed as royal dishes. Panlongcai

It is said that before Jiajing came to Beijing, the royal family had been fighting openly and secretly. Forced by the political situation, Empress Dowager Zhang issued a secret edict to the three princes, and said: "The first to come is the king, and the last to be the minister." Prince Xing's Mansion was the farthest away from the capital, and because it was beyond time, the secret agent Yan Song offered advice. Zhu Houcong pretended to be an imperial prisoner and got into the prison car, and traveled day and night to the capital. Zhu Houcong was the eldest son of the feudal lord, and he lived in luxury. It was easy to ride in a prison car, but it was difficult to eat coarse food on the way. He then ordered the chef in the mansion to make a dish that included fish but no fish meat. If he couldn't make it, his life would be in danger. There was a chef named Jando who was ingenious but could not make a dish that met the requirements.

One day, Zhan’s wife saw that her husband had not come home yet, so she brought cooked red potatoes to her husband. The couple pushed each other and accidentally broke the red sweet potato skin. Zhan Duo had an idea and figured out the formula! The chefs worked together to make food that could eat fish but not see the fish. It turned out that fish, meat and eggs were used to make a "red potato", which some people also called "carrot".

After Zhu Houcongji, he was Jiajing. Zhan Duo was ordered to go to the capital to cook for the emperor. He improved the red potato and changed its name to "Boilen Vegetable", which is the dish eaten by Beauties. After Jiajing ate the new "Boiler Vegetables", he was full of praise and ordered people to Recorded in the palace recipe. From then on, "Panlong Cai" became a delicacy of the Ming Palace. And now, it has become a traditional special dish that can be seen on the dining table of every household in Zhongxiang during the New Year. _Papa

There are thousands of delicious delicacies, and nothing is better than _Papa. For thousands of years, people in Zhongxiang have loved eating _Papa. According to their hobbies and different material conditions, various places have formed _fat intestines, _Eggplant, cowpea, _fish and other series

For the preparation of this type of food, there is a folk saying: "Cut the main ingredients finely and blow dry them with water, add half of the powder to the seasoning, put it in a jar, seal it and marinate it for a few days, and eat it. Stir-fried with hot and sour oil."
