What's the smell?

The Wa people in Lincang, regardless of sex, age and age, all like to eat Chili peppers. There is a saying among the people that "there is no chili pepper who can't get enough to eat". The trip to Lincang was deeply impressed by the "spicy" taste of the Wa nationality.

In the early morning, 23 of us took a bus to Yangtouyan Village, which is famous as "Ham Mugua Chicken" because of the dissolved water of the snowy mountain peaks all year round, the free-range native chickens and the rich white papaya in the local area. We walked into a small restaurant looking for rows of signs of "ham, melon and chicken". About an hour later, the delicious ham and melon chicken served. There was no time to savor it carefully, and we were hungry for a while, and ate a pot of sour, fragrant and refreshing Mugua chicken. At this point, the spicy taste in the smell is just shyly hiding in the ham and melon chicken.

going to cangyuan county, the most famous local staple food is rotten chicken rice. Chicken rotten rice is between dry rice and porridge, cooked with local black-bone chicken, and added with rice, sour bamboo shoots and salt, pepper, pepper, onion, fennel seeds, garlic, Wa coriander and other ingredients. This rotten chicken rice is not only bright in color and delicious, but also easy to digest and rich in nutrition, especially unique in that it is slightly spicy in fragrance and delicious, which greatly increases appetite. While eating, we felt "even put Chili in the porridge!" The spicy taste is spreading quietly from the tip of the tongue to the stomach.

In a big lunch with red, green, yellow, white, black and other delicious dishes, the most surprising thing is that some leeks can't see the ingredients. Amaranth is a kind of mashed vegetable that local people put all kinds of condiments such as salt, chili pepper, ginger, onion, garlic and some wild vegetables that we can't name in a mortar. Twist a pinch of leek into your mouth, first it is pure and spicy, and then it is salty, hemp and fragrant. At this time, people can't help but think of a paragraph on the Internet: Wa people are addicted to spicy food, and in their words, even the best dishes are too flawed if they lack pepper.
