We also have spiced boneless braised chicken here. Dezhou spiced boneless braised chicken, referred to as Dezhou braised chicken for short, is famous for being cooked and rotten, tender, smooth, soft and waxy, fragrant but not greasy, and has the reputation of Chinese wonders.

Texas braised chicken has a history of 300 years. As early as the Ming Dynasty, there were people selling roast chicken in Dezhou City and on the flood and drought docks. 1692 braised chicken appeared, and braised chicken and roast chicken coexisted. 1702, when Emperor Kangxi was on a southern tour, he tasted spiced boneless braised chicken and was overjoyed. From then on, Dezhou paji entered the court as a tribute. During the Qianlong period, the braised chicken maker was called into the palace, which made Dezhou braised chicken famous all over the world.

At the beginning of the 20th century, several workshops, represented by Hou, the shopkeeper of Baolanzhai, Texas, and Han Shigong, the shopkeeper of roast chicken shop, conscientiously summed up their ancestors' production experience, tried various ways to improve the technology and formula, and gradually formed the embryonic form of a new generation of braised chicken. By the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more than 20 braised chicken shops in Texas, such as "Fushun Zhai" and "Deshengzhai", with an annual sales of about 400,000. After the founding of New China, a state-run food company was established in Texas, which gathered famous teachers from one family and learned from others, maintaining and developing the unique flavor of this traditional famous food.

Dezhou spiced boneless braised chicken is made by traditional techniques such as roasting, smoking, crisp, frying and marinating. The production process is as follows: the healthy live chicken is slaughtered, bled, unhairing, eviscerated, processed into white striped chicken, then put into a seat with chicken wings in its mouth, thoroughly cooled, evenly coated with sugar, cooked and fried in boiling oil, then put into a pot according to the age and tenderness of the chicken, and add salt.

We also have golden jujube. Leling jujube, also known as golden silk jujube, has a cultivation history of more than 3000 years, which began in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, flourished in Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In Qi Yao Min Shu written by Jia Sixie in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is recorded: "Qingzhou has Xerox dates, with fine tendons and rich paste, ranking first in the world. According to legend, when Le Yi was broken, it was planted from Yan Zhi. " (Leling belonged to Qingzhou County at that time) It has been more than 2,200 years since then. Now, there is a "longevity" jujube tree in the northeast of Leling City. According to legend, Luo Cheng, a peasant uprising army at the end of Sui Dynasty, tied a horse to this tree. Qing Qianlong's "Leling County Records" records that in the 19th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Leling County ordered Wang to "teach people to plant trees and persuade them to plant dates. Some people planted dates to redeem them, so there are many dates in the city. " In the Qing Dynasty, Leling became a treasure land of "competing for stones and grain" and "reaching the top of Sanqiu in one year". The poet Wu Taipang wrote in his poem, "In June, fresh lotus flowers meet the water, and thousands of dates shoot red clouds." Reflects the number of jujube trees in Leling. By the 1930s, Leling jujube had reached a considerable scale. According to 1935 "China Industrial Records", "Zaohe Leling County has the most. There are 0/360,000 jujube trees in the county, producing 272,000 tons of dried dates and exporting 200,000 tons. " During the period of 1937, the Japanese invaded China and cut down more than 700,000 jujube trees, resulting in a sharp drop in jujube production.

Leling golden jujube is of high quality. When you open the semi-dried jujube, you can clearly see that the golden thread composed of pectin and sugar is attached between the pulp, stretching for 1-2 inches and shining in the sun, so it is named Jinsixiaozao. Leling jujube is generally oval or goose-shaped, with an average weight of 5-7 grams. The core is small and thin, the meat is full and tender. Fresh jujube is bright red, crisp, sweet and slightly sour. Dry jujube skin is deep red, thin and tough, with shallow wrinkles, which is beneficial to storage and transportation. Leling golden jujube has rich nutritional value and medicinal value. Every100g fresh jujube pulp contains about C500 mg of vitamin C, which is more than ten times that of oranges and several times higher than that of apples. It is called "live vitamin pill". The total sugar content is 64.4-69.2%, and there are 18 kinds of protein, fat, iron, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, P, rutin and amino acids needed by human body. It has the functions of nourishing the body and adjuvant treatment of spleen and stomach weakness, dyspepsia, cough due to lung deficiency, anemia and other diseases.

Leling jujube has 23 varieties, such as Jinsixiaozao, seedless Zizao, Longzizao, Yuanlingjujiao, Maling Jujube, Jujube, Lingjujiao, Broken Jujube, Lizaojiaojiao, Ganchuanjujiao, Wojujiao, Muzao, Mopanjiaojujiao, Longjiaojujiao and Frozen Jujube. Among them, jujube accounts for more than 80%, which is of high economic value and is one of the trump cards for export in this region. Exported to 28 countries and regions, the annual export volume exceeds 500 tons. Leling jujube can also be made into more than 20 kinds of food, such as jujube cut cake, jujube zongzi, jujube bean honey, jujube cake point, drunken jujube, crisp jujube, tooth jujube, jujube tea, donkey-hide gelatin candied jujube, black jujube and candied jujube. Among them, Ejiao candied dates have the function of nourishing blood and calming the nerves.

Seedless jujube, also known as "Qianzao" and "Hollow Jujube", is a rare and precious variety in jujube producing areas in Leling and Qingyun counties of Dezhou. It is named because its core-shell degenerates without nuts, leaving only the diaphragm to form a seedless cavity. Jujube fruit is small, cylindrical, slightly thin in the middle, thin and bright red in skin, loose in meat, less sweet in juice, containing about 33.3% soluble solids, suitable for steaming or drying in the sun for storage. Qing dynasty took it as a tribute.

We also have sheep intestine soup, also called sheep blood intestine, commonly known as sheep intestine. Pour sheep's blood with starch and chopped green onion spice sesame oil into sheep intestines, cook, cut into sections and add soup to eat. It tastes cool but not greasy, has no fishy smell, and has the effect of relieving asthma and stomach cold. Sheep intestine soup began in Manchu cabinets in the late Qing Dynasty and was introduced to the market in the early 1980s.

Watermelon in Texas is very sweet. Texas watermelon is famous all over the country for its big size, thin skin, tender meat and sweet taste. The main producing areas are Dezhou City and some towns and villages in the three counties of Plain, Wucheng and Lingxian.

Watermelon has been planted in Texas for more than 300 years. According to Tian Wen's textual research, "Guanyin Garden is located on the banks of the Tu Hai River, twenty-five miles east of the city, and there is also a garden in Jiang Shan Village" in the Long River in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. According to textual research, Guanyin Garden in Jiang Shan Village at that time should be located in yang hu Store, Liuji and Guli on the north bank of Majiahe River in the southeast of Dezhou City. 1939 Professor Wu Gengmin from the Department of Agriculture of Shandong University wrote after the investigation: "Texas has a long history of growing watermelons, but it is famous all over the world. In recent decades, due to the introduction of excellent varieties of Lama melon, because of its excellent quality and great reputation, melon sellers have come to Ping Jin in the north and Beijing and Shanghai in the south to ask for goods. " At that time, every time the melons were ripe, Dezhou, Huanghe Ya railway station, canal pier and car loading were very lively. Later, due to years of war, watermelon production was seriously affected.

Historically, the main varieties of watermelons in Texas are Lamagua (long rice, western pillow), pear skin, three different (three meanings) white skin, three white, towel strips and fresh in May. Among them, Lama melon is rectangular, with slightly sharp ends, yellow-green skin, fennel leaves on the surface, slightly thick skin, bright red melon seeds, dark yellow and light yellow flesh, fine as silk, and crisp sand at the entrance, which is the treasure of melons in past dynasties. Because watermelon is monoecious, it is easy to degenerate. At present, most of the old varieties have degenerated and no longer exist, except for some big pear skins and Lama melons. Since the late 1970s, Mi Bao, Xudong, Qingfeng, Zhongyu No.6, Zhong Mian 1, Zhengzhou No.3, Fujiuguang and other fine varieties have been introduced from other places, and all of them have achieved bumper harvests.
