What is the most unforgettable food in Jingzhou?

Jingzhou is only over 200 kilometers away from Wuhan and belongs to Hubei Province. The tastes and types of food are the same, but the eating habits of the two places are obviously different.

Take "premature delivery" as an example. Zhou Jun, a native of Wuhan, deeply admired the comfort of Jingzhou People's Congress in eating noodles and drinking wine in the morning.

Jingzhou people's day begins with a bowl of soup.

Jingzhou people always like to drink morning wine. According to the local people in Jingzhou, the origin of the habit of drinking soup in the morning is related to this morning wine. Drinking morning wine on an empty stomach is bad for your health. You must order something, especially meat. For example, Gongan County under Jingzhou is famous for its beef offal hot pot, and the wine that Gongan people drink in the morning is beef offal hot pot. In Jingshan, breakfast wine is a bowl of meat soup that is freshly cooked. Shredded pork, pork liver, kidney flower, pigeon and belly slices are all common soup materials. If you want to be more nourishing, there are black-bone chicken soup and rich fish soup in the soup house.

Wuhan people call breakfast "premature" and beg for a word "fast", while Jingzhou people start with a bowl of steaming soup in the morning, which is a model of slow life attitude. Although it is a slow life, Jingzhou breakfast soup must be cooked quickly to reflect the word fresh and tender.

First, prepare the meat with starch, put a handful of vegetables or rice noodles in a boiling pot, add salt, chicken essence and pepper and mix well. Then, quickly put the meat into the pot. Be sure to grasp the time and heat, and wait until the meat is cooked and tender before taking it out. In just two or three minutes, a bowl of juicy, tender and nutritious soup was steaming on the table.

Eating soup too early is a breakfast culture I have seen in Jingzhou all over the country. For those who are crushed by the fast-paced life, a bowl of fried dough sticks breakfast soup every morning begins a soothing rhythm. Even if you don't drink breakfast wine, you are likely to get drunk.

There are many delicious foods in Jingzhou, such as boiled fish in Luo Chang, spicy food in Ladies' Street, little tiger duck in Dazhai Lane, rice noodles in Huangjiatang, Dalian noodles in Jianghan South Road, Zhonglian noodles, bathhouse noodles, miscellaneous sauce noodles in microwave building in Taqiao Road, donkey chops in Bibo Road, braised prawns in Wuqi oil opposite Hongyuan Hotel and Guo Chang chicken in Taqiao North Road. I don't know what's going on now, the fat fish on the shore of Wanshou Tower in Liulin Prefecture. There is a duck shark fin hot pot in a duckling shed near Chengfeng School. The shrimp next to Guanluo Lake is very lively. I don't know if there are any more. The mutton offal soup on Wuyi Road is crowded with people at one or two in the morning. What other snacks 12 hours are there on Hongxing Road? I have to say that Dujia chicken is really good. There are too many duck necks in 1999. Please add them when you think about it.

Stone dish, Zhong Xiang called Panlong dish, Zhong Xiang used to belong to Jingzhou, Shashi Breakfast Restaurant, of course, it is a pen rack fish belly, but it is deified and not close to the people. It is said that stir-fried water chestnut, lotus root tip and chicken head bract stem are commonly known as Ibaraki, which is really only produced in Jingchu. Only Jingzhou has such a way of eating bamboo shoots and wormwood, which is inhuman to outsiders, and so is it.

I like to eat steamed chrysanthemums in Jingzhou. It tastes delicious and melts in your mouth. The smell makes people want to stop.

In addition, fish fillets (also called snakeheads) are the practice of Jingzhou people in local rural areas. The fish fillets are thin and have no bones. The cooked fish fillets are tender, smooth and very refreshing, with delicious taste, fishy smell and no fishy smell. They melt in the mouth and are extremely delicious. My favorite food is corny, don't laugh! Just delicious.

Soda meat.

That was 1994. I caught a cold, coughed, coughed badly, couldn't lie down, felt chest tightness and itchy throat, and couldn't swallow anything. That day, my mother-in-law made me a bowl of soda meat. Fresh meat foam slipped through my mouth, and under the gentle agitation of my tongue, it slipped down my throat. I still remember the refreshing and delicious taste.

Later, when I got greedy, I pestered my mother-in-law to make soda meat. I tried to make it several times, but it didn't taste like that. Mother-in-law said with a smile, when she is old, she will have her taste.

It's almost the Spring Festival when I mention the delicious food in Jingzhou, and I can't help but think of the childhood scenes. Every child is always looking forward to the Spring Festival coming soon, because there is delicious food. When the lunar calendar enters the winter month, every household is ready to kill pigs to make bacon. Whenever I kill pigs at home, I am very happy, not only with meat to eat, but also with very delicious blood. What is blood? Which is pig blood. When killing a pig, put some salt, water and Chili sauce in the pot containing pig blood, then add pig blood and let it stand, and then cut into pieces. Boil water in the pot. When blisters appear, gently slide pig blood into the pot and cook for a while. Slice it again and put it in the cooker with the pork and garlic seedlings. Wow, that's a scent. It's called blood sucking. It's an authentic hometown dish. Of course, there are many traditional foods that I miss very much.

There is no such dish in Jingzhou now. It is used in spring among reeds. The name is Jia Lian Zixu, which was eaten by Jingzhou people after the 1970s. Now Xietang County is a reed in the 1980s. This kind of wild vegetable is born in reeds and tastes much better than mud lettuce. For many years, I only knew it was delicious and forgot the taste. During the spring outing in primary school, I looked for it with my classmates. But I can't find it. The teacher took us to find, cook and cook in a pot. It's really memorable. An unforgettable taste!
