He is a member of Group 5 of Huaqiao Village, Moshi Town, Changyang County. Every Spring Festival, he will go back to his hometown with his relatives and friends. That is, this year, he also took time to drink old fever with relatives and childhood playmates in his hometown and confided his feelings that he could not live without his hometown.
Every day, I heard the tinkling sound of the clear spring, and connected barrels of clear and sweet spring water with wooden barrels. On an earthen stove several times larger than him, an antique left by an ancestor and a copper pot several times larger than him were stewed. Oak pipes in the mountains are burning in the oven chamber.
The old man in the mountain said; There is no good fire except oak.
I understand that this oak tree may grow slowly for a long time, with dense and tough cell structure, thick trunk and lush foliage. As firewood, it is more resistant to burning than those fast-growing and violent trees, and the fire is mild. Like local pigs eating wild vegetables, sweet potatoes and corn, they grow slowly, have a long growing period, are small in size, have tight meat, are elastic, chewy and full-bodied.
With this spring water, this copper pot, this firewood, Yunnan's more fragrant Pu 'er tea, and Changyang's dried tangerine peel, the health care effect is self-evident.
It has been 10 years since he left his native land. But the mountains in my hometown are still so winding, the water in my hometown is still so sweet and soft, and the people in my hometown are inseparable.
Sit around a table with everyone and go to the authentic old burn brewed by Tujia ancient method. When a chatterbox is opened, it is seldom closed. You say a word, I say a word, all over the world.
The most talked about is that there are excellent crops, animal husbandry and aquaculture, cellar puree wine, smoked pork and bacon, local honey, Tujia dry goods, medicinal materials, plateau organic fruits and vegetables, all kinds of dried fruits and Tujia specialties. But scattered, no scale, no smooth sales channels.
When the villagers casually said it, Zhang Biqiang listened.
The annual party in a few days is coming to an end. After returning to Zhijiang, he tossed and turned. My hometown has such a good natural foundation, and the aquaculture industry adheres to the tradition of "original ecology, zero addition". Isn't it a green, healthy and safe "Avenue of Stars" to make good use of and develop the pure natural breeding base in my hometown for my family, for thousands of families in Qian Qian, and for the meals of all citizens during the solar eclipse, and for the authentic organic food and farmhouse flavor in my hometown?
"Safety on the tip of the tongue" is everyone's concern.
Everyone pays attention to "telling the ancient laws of the Millennium and savoring the primitive life".
Zhang Biqiang was inspired by the villagers and did it. He resolutely gave up the familiar decoration industry and devoted himself to an agricultural ecological development road related to people's livelihood.
Changyang County, Yichang City has a national 5A-level scenic spot-800-mile Qingjiang Gallery. Qingjiang River, named after its clear color, belongs to the first-class tributary of the Yangtze River, the mother river of Tujia children and the gathering place of Batu culture. In particular, the ancient production technology that has inherited Batu food culture for thousands of years is unique.
Let's talk about authentic old-fashioned puree first.
Hard-working ancestors, carefully brewing with Tujia ancient methods, hoarded puree wine, and gathered the natural aura of heaven and earth.
Qingjiang river basin, with overlapping peaks and green forests, high gorge and vast smoke waves, has a winding path leading to a secluded place. It can be called a scenic spot with clear springs and lush trees in the four seasons, with an endless stream of tourists from south to north. People enjoy the unique natural beauty, relax their minds and enjoy the comfort brought by the magic of nature, but also do not forget to taste the authentic old-fashioned puree wine to dispel the cold and refresh their minds in the cold winter.
This time-honored puree wine is original ecology, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Farmers plant pollution-free red sorghum, buckwheat and corn as the main raw materials, and take high-quality spring water from the mountain at an altitude of 1200m to ensure that the raw materials are authentic, safe and reliable.
The ancient brewing technology has been passed down from generation to generation. After microbial fermentation in the wine cellar at constant temperature and humidity, the treasured wine with 40-72 degrees was blended. Put 53-degree, 55-degree and 60-degree wines into pottery jars, seal them with kraft paper and mud, and bury them in the cellar for more than one year. Aged for more than 3 years, it is favored by consumers: good wine, such as nectar, is mellow and long.
Let's take a look at the wax products smoked by Tujia ancient dark kang.
Along the Qingjiang River, there is 1.600 mu of plateau native pig natural breeding grassland. Farmers' pigs are raised in alpine pastures, running and basking in the sun. These pigs have nothing to do, but also hit their brains, waist and spank. One year later, each pig will grow to more than 200 kilograms, which will contribute to mankind.
At the foot of the mountain, there are four or five bungalows, surrounded by a three-story building. These bungalows are the meat products smoking workshops built by Tujia ancient method. Preserved ribs, preserved hooves, preserved pork belly, etc. The dark kang smoked in ancient times was evenly mixed with a certain proportion of salt, pepper, star anise, star anise, cinnamon and other raw materials, and then pickled in a jar. After 7- 15 days, hang it with palm leaf rope and dry it. In a particularly dry and ventilated kitchen, also known as dark kang, pig's trotters, ribs, sausages and pork belly are hung high, and oak and cypress branches with good fire properties are selected and slowly smoked by Tujia ancient method.
Authentic Tujia bacon is smoked in a leisurely way. We acted as a diner, eating stewed alpine radish with hoof and fried alpine cabbage stalks with pork belly (sliced cabbage stalks, leaves removed) to increase garlic seedlings. It felt fragrant, as if we had returned to an unforgettable happy childhood, eating local pork raised by our parents, eating crispy fried peanuts and eating glutinous glutinous dumplings.
Chew slowly and savor the carefree and unforgettable time.
There is also an ancient Tujia method, which uses bee barrels to raise wild honey, which is also very good.
There are many wild flowers in the mountains. Some stamens are yellow and petals are white; Have a plenty of purple with blue, clusters, clusters; Some look like pink hydrangeas, round, but there are several stamens evenly on the surface of the ball, and the color gradually fades from the inside out; Some small flowers are scattered all over the hillside. Strangely, at the end of April, a row of glittering gardenias surrounded the mountainside. Plants must have been pruned, about 70 cm high, and the branches are densely staggered, like hedge walls, not like a single plant. Plants are tall and branches can stretch freely.
Wild earth bees collect wild flowers and medicinal flowers, and brew a hundred flowers honey rich in amino acids and active enzymes, which can be described as "treasures in honey".
The wild resources in Tujia mountain village have become an inexhaustible source of sweet beekeeping. After careful development and production by local craftsmen, pure natural wild honey, sweet as glutinous rice and crystal clear, has many functions such as improving nutrition, improving sleep, prolonging life and enhancing immunity, and is a nutritional product suitable for all ages.
This method is the advanced "live frame barrel culture" technology, which retains the traditional barrel culture method of soil bees. In addition, Qingjiang wild fish, Tujia radish cake, dried potato, medicinal materials picked artificially in deep mountains, plateau fruits and vegetables planted by farmers in primitive ways, etc. It is a gift from the original ecology of nature.
"Folk songs are like clear water, and wine is better than nectar!"
Dreams are endless! We met Mr. Zhang Biqiang. We walked into Changyang and got to know Changyang.
Changyang's beautiful fairy mountain, Changyang's clear spring of spraying pearls and spitting jade, Changyang Tujia's simple affection and Changyang's mysterious and unique song and dance perfectly interpret the true meaning and connotation of traditional folk culture and traditional food culture, which has a long history.
