The aftertaste of life-fish in sauce and spicy bone tofu

In August of 20 17, my father organized my uncles, aunts and other relatives to go to Lanheyu, Benxi Manchu Autonomous County, which added a kind of affection temperature in the hot August.

I heard my father talk about the "ears and eyes" of Prince River in Benxi before. He said that the water there is very clear and very suitable for swimming. Only when I arrived did I know that the official name of this place was Lanheyu in Benxi Manchu Autonomous County. We passed many scenic spots along the way, such as Benxi Water Cave, Benxi Guanmen Mountain and Tiesha Mountain, the birthplace of Taoism in Northeast China. This road is basically a Panshan highway. Looking up from afar, the mountains are endless. Some mountains have cliffs that have just been cut by knives and axes, and there is a gurgling river under Panshan Road. We are surrounded by mountains and rivers. Before arriving at our destination, Lanheyu, we bought river fish (commonly known as "blind fat head", scientific name sandy beach) and cockroaches (commonly known as "northeast") in the alkali factory market not far from Lanheyu. Later, I consulted the relevant information and found that the soda plant was a prosperous and commercially developed market town in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the ethnic groups such as Jurchen, Qidan and Sanhan often traded with the Han people here.

When we arrived at Lanheyu, we began to swim in the water. We found that the water there is really clear and the water quality is very good. Come up for a barbecue when you are tired. Our family is happy, and the "blind fat head" river fish is stuffy. This kind of fish basically carries its young in this season, and the fish meat is relatively more than other river fish. In order to keep the fish fresh, we only enlarged it. After seeing the fish change color, it can be served in less than 2 minutes. The flesh of this fish is very complete. Basically, when you put it in your mouth, you may eat all the meat, and your mouth will be full of fresh flavor. Finally, the tofu brain is served, that is, the tofu brain that has been "pulped" before is poured into boiling water filled with Chinese cabbage, and when the tofu brain turns orange, turn off the fire and serve. The freshness of tofu is more delicious than that of fish. In fact, there is no tofu brain in tofu brain. I think the so-called "bean curd brain" actually refers to the massive bean curd brain. Compared with the river fish that just ate meat, the soup in tofu brain is also rare and delicious, because in the process of heating tofu brain, its "freshness factor" is the first time I have an impression of this delicious food-"lobster tofu", which is somewhat different from my previous thoughts. I thought this delicious food was similar to that of "dried tofu and mud fish", that is, the whole lobster was stewed with tofu in the soup. It seems that this idea is quite different from the real practice. If you go to a restaurant for the first time,

At the same time, we are also very happy to swim, and we swim very happily. Traveling in hot weather is simply our greatest reward, and our trip ended in laughter.

Because my parents moved here from Benxi Niuxintai before, their parents' family and mother's family belong to Benxi, and they all grew up there. My father and uncle have basically never been to the Prince River when they were children, and I have heard many stories about the Prince River: I heard my father say that when I was a child, I could basically see cockroaches by turning up a stone by the Prince River. I've also heard that at that time, he and my uncle were trapped in a "bubble" in the Taizi River, which was full of river fish, such as "heavy lips", "crucian carp seeds" and "a bite". They felt it was a pity that these fish were later stewed by my grandfather, as if they could have been cooked better. My uncle fished in the Taizi River, and then he sold his own fish. At that time, he used the income from selling fish to buy many household appliances for his family. I felt her pride from her speech.

But now there are very few crickets in Taizi River, which are hard to see because they have very high requirements for water quality. I heard that the Taizi River is polluted now, and the cricket we ate this time was shipped from Jilin to sell, which shows that it is general; Another point, I think, is overfishing, relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to eat water. The "fresh fish" in the Taizi River has nurtured people on both sides of the strait in the faint years, but we should also take an appropriate amount from the Taizi River, respect the growth law of all things, and give them time to reproduce and grow, not fish with exhausted resources.

When I was a child, I always heard my father say "eat river fish and eat clams", thinking that it was the supreme "delicious food on earth" for them. So whenever I go to the Taizi River or other rivers, I always feel deja vu about the fresh fish in the river due to preconceived reasons or other factors.

River fish and shrews are the first-class ingredients of Taizi River, but I feel that they are also two symbols of Taizi River culture. Whether it is comma, notes or other types, they all constitute a chapter in the development of human civilization in the Taizi River Basin, reflecting the diligence, simplicity, wisdom and hope of the people on both sides of the strait.
