Heqing is famous for its three treasures, ham, dry wine and pork belly, which is a common sense known to all children.
Heqing dry wine has a legendary and mysterious story among the people. It is said that this wine was tasted in Xilongtan produced in Heqing after a dinner party. It feels mellow and has a cool feeling. When it is sweet, it has a faint scent of Shan Ye. After a sip, old Gan Long stopped and said, "This is really a rare wine in the world. If Du Kang were alive, he might not be able to make such wine. " Therefore, this wine is sealed as a tribute to the court every year and paid regularly and on time. The name of this wine is also taken as dry wine. The implication is that the patent owner of this wine is him.
This can also be found in northwest Yunnan: "Lijiang Baba River sake, Jianchuan carpenters everywhere." In folk songs, it is verified. Heqing wine is very famous in northwest Yunnan, which can be said to be a household name. Heqing's famous ham, liver-blowing, pig anhydride ... Special cuisine is based on Heqing Shuijiu, and their unique cuisine is also created by Heqing Shuijiu. Sure enough, it has come true: the folk proverb "One side of water and soil will nourish one side of people", which proves that one side of water and soil, one side of wine, will also create one side of food.
Diannan catering
The hometown of these authentic ham, liver-blowing and pig anhydride should be the first place to promote southern Yunnan to the south of Heqing bazi. Since ancient times, culture has been advocated here. In Heqing, there is a saying that "southern culture and northern martial arts", that is, southern Yunnan pays attention to the development and cultivation of culture, while northern Yunnan mainly focuses on handicrafts. The famous handicraft town Xinhua Ethnic Village is located in the north of Diandian. It is under this profound cultural influence that women in southern Yunnan play an important role in the unique Heqing diet. Their unique way of diet is to pursue a refined, pure natural and delicious diet, which can not only preserve health, but also relieve cravings. Pay attention to the perfect combination of materials, knife skills and color, fragrance and taste, and pay more attention to the visual effect when arranging platters into utensils. Just like your favorite embroidery, you must decorate it as delicate and harmonious as "red flowers and green leaves"
This concept of making food by women in southern Yunnan is the most perfect and sufficient in the production of ham, liver-blowing, pig anhydride and the "eight bowls" with Bai flavor entertained by Bai people. After tasting these snacks from Heqing people, we can appreciate all the cooking skills of women in southern Yunnan, just like watching leopards.
Kill a pig
Heqing bazi entered the twelfth lunar month, and the climate became extremely cold due to the influence of Yulong Snow Mountain. In addition, there is snow water gurgling down from Yulong Snow Mountain and flowing happily. The water is so clear and bright that it shines like a stainless steel vessel just bought from a store. This is a good time for Bai people and every household to kill pigs, and it is also a good time to pickle ham, blow liver and cook pigs.
It's time to kill the pig We gathered our friends, relatives, colleagues and classmates in our humble yard and began to work together. The intimate atmosphere has gone beyond the meaning of killing pigs. The days of gathering are short and cheerful, which is so precious and rare in this competitive era. Everyone happily blew the vernacular, telling each other the ups and downs of this parting day. At dawn, a group of people boiled water, tied up the pigs, then shed their skins, cut off their heads and cut open their bellies. ...
Then spin the ham out and turn one end into a small piece of meat that is easy to keep. Then the women knocked out the "eight bowls" of the Bai people by the pot. The sun shines warmly on the land of Heyang. After meals, you can pickle ham, blow liver and pig anhydride.
Making blow liver
The fresh pig liver has been dried to half dry. At this time, the slaughtered pigs had been harvested, and they came to collect pig livers. Housewives take out oil red pepper noodles produced in Dongshan, Heqing, red pepper powder produced in their own gardens, pure white pepper with white beard, fragrant grass fruit noodles, chopped chives ... all kinds of things, as well as snow dripping from the cool Yulong Snow Mountain, and add some Heqing dry wine. As soon as these were ready, someone was anxious to find a straw to take out the bitter pig bile. They rummaged through the trachea on the pig liver, put the mixed seasoning into the pig liver from the trachea, and when it was put away, they blew it into the liver with a straw, and the pig liver would keep expanding until it could not be inflated. The pig liver was blown like a burnt fat duck, and then the production of blown liver was completed. In order to prevent the dried liver from drying unevenly, corn kernels are also sandwiched between those liver valves to prevent maggots or strange smells when it is not dried.
Spread a layer of pepper and pepper mixture on the blown pig liver, and hang it on the ground to prevent guests from coming, or go to the grave before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, and take down the dried and blown pig liver to entertain guests.
Sweet water blows the liver and tastes delicious.
When guests come, or go to the grave, the blown pork liver should be stewed slowly with low fire, so that the seasoning inside can penetrate into all parts of the pork liver. Don't cook for too long at this time, and of course you can't be unfamiliar. Blow-cut the cooked liver into thin slices, and the slices have become honeycomb. Those seasonings have penetrated into every part of the liver slice evenly. At this moment, the original elegant fragrance of liver-blowing tablets is really mouth watering.
At this point, we haven't finished yet! You also need to prepare to dip in water. The seasoning dipped in water is also very particular. You should use Heqing's special lacquer vinegar (a kind of dark rice vinegar) or stew plum or bayberry sauce, and add good coriander, spicy ginger, garlic cloves, Chili powder and pepper ... that's it, don't mention it, move chopsticks quickly, otherwise. ...
The production of Heqing air-dried liver and the selection of seasonings pay attention to pure natural quality, without any pollution, and it is called enjoyment to eat.
After eating, you will feel relaxed and carefree all over. This is because Heqing has the effects of blowing liver fire, cooling blood, detoxification and ventilation, and feels pure and natural.
