Talk about eating sheep's head

Eat all over the world: eat pig's head

There is a proverb in the Qing dynasty, which is used to describe a person who cheats to eat and drink everywhere. The east eats sheep's heads and the west eats pig's heads. The liar was really fierce at that time. Now, don't call it a liar. Even if you have money, how can you eat sheep's head and pig's head? We gluttonous people wanted to have an all-sheep feast, so we arranged it for a long time and finally got a sheep's head.

It's easy for a pig to say, but it's not a pig who cooks casually, is it?

I remember three years ago, a friend got a pig's head, so he advertised in advance and asked us to eat at his house a week later.

A week ago, we made an appointment and asked everyone not to eat, because that pig was as heavy as 7 pounds. But after four days, my friend called and said it would be better to eat at that time.

At that time, I was thinking, is it because there are more and more people around? I didn't expect to receive a phone call from my friend the day before, saying that I'd better come back tomorrow when I'm full? I thought, is this the way to treat others? But it turned out that the seven pounds of pig's head was left over after a friend cooked it, and ten people only ate one or two pieces each.

My friend spent seven days cooking pig's head, which reminded me of an article by mainland writer Lin entitled "Stewing pig's head with positive poinsettia".

In his article, he said that he had eaten this dish in Tianjin more than 50 years ago, and used seven kinds of seasonings-sugar, soy sauce, lobster sauce, star anise, fennel, black pepper and white pepper, and seven kinds of auxiliary materials? , ginger, garlic, cinnamon, fragrant leaves, chrysanthemum, lotus leaves, seven kinds of medicinal materials-Lycium barbarum, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Amomum villosum, black-bone chicken, Paeonia lactiflora and Ganoderma lucidum, after seven processes of burning, boiling, steaming, pickling, smoking, stewing and stewing, it takes seven days to complete the firing.

The procedure of the seven fires includes poking the pig's nose, eyes and ears with a red-hot iron bar to remove the odor, cooling the pig's head in melted gum and tearing it off to remove the fine hairs on the pig's head.

For seven days, the three of them pickled the pig's head with sauce and herbs, dried it for one day, steamed it on the fire for one day, stewed it for another day and stewed it for another two days.

Boiling pig's head is such a complicated procedure. I'd rather be a liar who eats sheep's heads and pigs' heads to deceive people!
