Listen to my grandmother, once a family gave a banquet, and the mother-in-law who cooked the meal didn't do it well enough to cook it again, so it seems that no one who came to eat the banquet was full! Banquets in rural areas are divided into big kitchens and small kitchens. The big kitchen cooks stews and meat dishes, such as stewed chicken and bamboo shoots!
The small kitchen is responsible for cold dishes, steaming and frying. In fact, the kitchen is getting more and more troublesome! I usually go to the big kitchen and the small kitchen to help, because people in the kitchen will be particularly tired, busy from morning till night! You can't eat until someone else has finished eating!
So I usually cook wine and rice and so on, which is more free. I just need to go at dinner! And people don't let me into the big kitchen and the small kitchen. Although I am old enough, I am not qualified. Generally, people in their thirties and forties can help in the kitchen, and they are all great cooks!
Xiao Zhang has a problem.
Why are village banquets in rural areas so delicious? I had a friend's wedding reception in the village the other day. It's really delicious, especially the cooked pork belly soup, clear soup and egg soup. After drinking the taste of eating banquets as a child, I feel that firewood and large iron pots have played a great role in addition to spices. I'm also an old hand at catering. I'm not allowed to burn firewood now. Restaurants can't make such a taste now. As long as there are banquets in ten miles and eight villages in rural areas, there are always people looking for them. We learned from them that they were handed down from generation to generation. Coupled with the original cooking method, it is delicious and delicious. Those who haven't eaten can go to the young people in the village to get married and have a taste. Absolutely good.
Hello, I'm a country chef, and I'm glad to answer this question. For "why is the village banquet in rural areas particularly delicious?" My answer to this question is: The reason why people think the village banquet is delicious is mainly determined by the characteristics of the village banquet itself, the ingredients selected, the cooking methods of the village banquet chefs and the atmosphere of eating the village banquet.
Rural village banquet is a gathering activity for rural people to celebrate weddings, funerals, the birth and birthday of the elderly. Every family has a difficult experience, and every family helps with the ceremony. The picture is vivid and popular. Our hometown calls this kind of behavior hospitality. When I was a child, I lived in the countryside and didn't attend such village banquets. Every time someone holds a village banquet to entertain guests, my family sends me as a representative. Village banquets are generally held in the open air, and tables can be placed in farmyards and open spaces outside the doors. Because men drink, men sit at a table and women and children gather around a table. There are usually dozens of tables, and there are two new coal-fired stoves in the yard. There are two big steamers on the stove, emitting hot air, and red bituminous coal is burning in the stove. The big wooden board next to it is full of cooked cold dishes and materials to be fried. Country chefs with white towels around their necks smoked cigarettes and instructed their assistants how to operate them. Helping villagers are going to put the prepared cold dishes on the table. Villagers who arrive first will sit around and talk about family affairs, such as parents Zhang and Li. Their old sow gave birth to several piglets, and their boy married the daughter of a neighboring village.
Generally, the ingredients for village banquets will be taken locally. Pigs, chickens, fish in fish ponds, bacon, sausages, eggs, self-produced onions, ginger, garlic, potatoes and vegetables, as well as homemade soybean oil, peanut oil and rapeseed oil raised by rural farmers themselves, are all native rural goods, and people in the city can't buy them. For example, some pigs raised in advance at home were killed as seats when entertaining guests for children's wedding banquets, or were killed by pigs raised by villagers themselves. The taste of pork is different from that of pork in the city. It can be said that it tastes like pork. When I was a child, my mouth was full of oil, and my lips and teeth were fragrant. Another example is peanut oil squeezed by traditional techniques in rural areas. Rapeseed oil smells better and the cooked food tastes better. This is also the envy of city people.
Making village banquets and village kitchens are all masters of cooking hidden in the people, and their skills are superb. The skills of rural chefs are passed down from generation to generation through words and deeds. Every country chef has his own unique skills. One person is responsible for the overall planning of dozens of tables and the design of dishes. It is impossible to do it without a few years of technology. Another feature of rural chefs is that they can make very delicious dishes with little seasoning by using the characteristics of the ingredients themselves. Everyone knows that in the past, there were few seasonings in rural areas, such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. But the dishes made are very distinctive, which stimulates the taste of the ingredients themselves. This is commendable. Rural chefs are generally apprentices, and their skills have been improved in practice. Unlike students in chef school, they pay equal attention to theory and practice. There is no theory here, only practice. When my cousin got married, the chef hired by the village cooked a good dish in pressing meat, that is, pickled the pig's head meat and pig's ears, shredded them, stirred them with broth, pressed them with solid boards, and covered them with heavy objects. Finally, after molding, cut into thin slices and make cold dishes, which are very refreshing and delicious. My father also said that he met a chef who cooked a village banquet. No one can beat him in cooking fish. The fish is crispy outside and tender inside, the peeled peanuts are crispy, the fungus is thick and the sauce is rich. I have never eaten such delicious grilled fish again.
Most village banquets in rural areas use cooking methods such as steaming, stewing, stewing and frying in large pots. There are crispy pork floss, braised pork, crispy chicken, crispy fish, steamed whole chicken, steamed fish, eight-treasure rice and so on. Steaming in a cauldron allows the ingredients to be completely and evenly heated at high temperature without any constraints. It constantly releases its own flavor in the steam. Thirteen bowls of traditional banquets in our hometown are the most famous. It's all steamed on high fire, then poured with broth and sprinkled with a handful of coriander. The soup is delicious, crisp and rotten, and original. No wonder people think the village banquet is delicious. Cauldron dishes are used to entertain relatives and friends and help villagers do nothing. When my grandmother died, I invited several chefs to cook a good pot-stewed dish. After the white tofu is fried in the pot, cut it from the middle with a horizontal knife and then cut it into thin shredded tofu. Pork is cut into strips, pickled with salt and thirteen spices, wrapped with thick wet sweet potato starch, fried into crispy meat, and finally fried into shredded tofu, soybean sprouts, crispy meat and pork. My two cousins, who grew up in big cities, praised this pot-stewed dish as delicious, saying that they had never eaten it so delicious.
The people who eat the village banquet are all villagers and old neighbors for many years. Everyone knows each other very well, has a common topic, and eating together is not restricted. Everyone is very happy to eat together. Eating and chatting can also enhance feelings. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. When things really happen, you may have to rely on your neighbors. Rural people are simple and don't have much mind. When they attended the village party, everyone was relaxed and in a good mood. Unconsciously, their appetite will increase and their appetite will increase. In the buildings where people usually live in the city, sometimes they haven't talked to their neighbors for half a year, and the pace of life is relatively fast. Banquets are usually held in hotels. Many people don't know each other, eat separately, have no communication, and leave in a hurry after eating. There is no atmosphere of catering in rural villages.
The above is my opinion on "Why are village banquets especially delicious in rural areas?" According to my personal experience and experience, the characteristics of rural banquets, ingredients, chefs, cooking methods, atmosphere and other unique characteristics make rural rural banquets an enviable delicacy. I miss the scene of having a village banquet, eating meat, eating vegetables and drinking our local famous Yinmei Koule when I was a child.
Why is the village banquet particularly delicious?
The delicious taste of the village banquet must have been tasted by many people, with endless aftertaste.
So, why do people think the village banquet is delicious?
In fact, every place in rural areas is very particular about catering, no matter whether the conditions were bad before or now.
This stress is not how rare the materials are, but the people and atmosphere involved in the whole process.
For example, in the happy event of my hometown, the family will buy back the materials for the banquet in advance, and all the relatives in the village who didn't take Wufu will come to help without saying hello. Women pick vegetables and wash vegetables, men build sheds and stoves, and a group of children run around, which is very lively.
Anyway, when it comes to eating, the dishes are really served one by one. Four cold dishes were served first to open the taste of the guests.
Followed by cooked vegetables, stir-fried, fat but not greasy pork elbow, sweet and sour carp ribs. In short, the guests enjoyed the hot and vegetarian dishes. Finally, there is a special sweet soup, which is made of apple lotus seeds and tremella, not to mention how delicious it is.
In short, in my opinion, the village banquet in my hometown is delicious!
Indeed! Eating a village banquet in the countryside is particularly delicious, and I want to eat it again after eating, especially when I am away from home. I really miss that taste.
I grew up in the countryside, and every time my relatives do important things, such as children's birthdays, weddings, and relatives have children. I'm particularly excited, because I'm going to have my dream banquet soon.
Why do you feel this way? I think there are several main reasons:
1. Many people are busy.
Banquets in rural areas are very lively, and there are many people in various programs. Almost every family gave a banquet, and the whole village came to eat it, which was as lively as a festival.
2. Big fish and big meat, delicious food.
When the host family holds a banquet, they usually choose the ingredients carefully. Even if the conditions at home are not so good, they will try their best to serve their guests with the best meals. There are all kinds of delicious foods such as chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, which may be common now, but at that time, we generally didn't eat these things at home, and the price was very expensive.
3. Fresh ingredients
When catering in rural areas, the ingredients are very fresh, and the vegetables are basically home-grown. They don't use pesticides, so they are safe to eat. Fish are basically wild fish caught from the river, which tastes good. Pork is also local pork and tastes delicious.
4. The banquet atmosphere is very good.
Let's have a banquet together. There are not so many rules. Although the conditions are simple, we don't care too much. At the dinner table, everyone was talking happily, drinking wine and eating delicious dishes and telling their past experiences. The atmosphere is good.
Let me tell you why village banquets in rural areas are so delicious. There are several characteristics that make rural banquets delicious. First, the ingredients are fresh and the variety is complete. Second, the chef is recognized as the best chef in the village. Third, the dishes are full of rural flavor and have their own characteristics.
As far as our village is concerned, there is a folk restaurant in it. The place is spacious, the furniture is complete, the firewood stove is clean and tidy, and any weddings and funerals in the village are handled here.
First, the ingredients are fresh and complete.
We rural people grow vegetables in the fields, raise pigs, chickens and ducks in pens. If our family wants to prepare for happy events, we must plant and raise them in advance. Even if there are not enough vegetables, pigs and chickens at home, we can go to the villagers' house to buy some.
So all the dishes at the banquet are made of these fresh vegetables and fresh meat. Compared with the quick-frozen food in some big hotels, the vegetables in the greenhouse are much more delicious.
Second, the cook is good at cooking.
Although rural chefs can't cook all kinds of dishes like chefs in big hotels, they know what to put and how to make them delicious.
Rural people are used to cooking with firewood stoves. They know when to cook and when to cook. When there is a fire, they will never fry it with a small fire. Therefore, in the whole cooking process, people who specialize in reducing and adding firewood will be arranged at the door of the stove.
What do you think of cooking? After the pig is slaughtered and washed, Master Fu will have a good idea. Because the menu is prepared in advance, the food should be delicious and less wasted. Therefore, the invited master must be delicious and experienced.
Third, the dishes are full of rural flavor and have rural characteristics.
When you go to the countryside to hold a banquet, everyone has a deep understanding and knows the special dishes of that village. When I think about it, I can't help but say that any food in that village is delicious, and Master Fu Zhen can cook it.
It's like making the same thing, but with different materials and techniques, the taste is different. Just like several stockades near the county seat, each place has its own characteristics. I like to be a guest in the small street best, because the food there is the best, and no other stockade can make that taste.
In short, rural banquets are delicious, not only because of these characteristics, but also because they have a strong local flavor. Eating with people in the village, the atmosphere is very good, the atmosphere is very good, the mood is very happy, and everything is delicious.
Indeed, I also think rural banquets are particularly delicious.
Only when you have a banquet in the countryside can you feel the feeling of eating.
Eating a rural banquet, all the ingredients are processed and made by ourselves, and people come and go, which is very lively.
When eating a banquet in a restaurant, I always feel that it is just an essential process-eating, and there is not much feeling of a wedding banquet.
Before 1994, all the people in our village who had weddings and funerals were invited to treat them in their own homes. Two or three days in advance, we started to build a big stove in the yard. The chef began to order the menu according to the number of guests and tables, and the main family specially arranged people to go shopping. The day before the reception, the village began to borrow spacious tables and benches.
At that time, whenever there was a meal in the village, my family would give gifts, and then I would take my milk to the table for dinner. When I was a child, my family was in a bad condition, so it was good to eat meat once a week. Then when I sit at the table and eat, I choose meat. When I was a child, I could eat two long pieces of braised pork.
With the development of the city and the improvement of living conditions, from 1994 to 2000, our village entertained guests at home and in restaurants. At that time, I thought it would cost a lot of money to go to restaurants. As soon as I hear that someone is entertaining guests in the hotel, I will go to see if it is Sunday. If it is Sunday, I can go.
After entering 2000, there were weddings and funerals in the village, full moon wine, almost no guests at home, all in restaurants.
In those years, I felt that although there were many hospitality fees in the restaurant, the amount of food was really affordable and the taste was good. The most important thing is to save yourself the trouble of buying food and cooking.
But after staying in the hotel for a long time, I feel that the restaurants are all the same, and the food practices and tastes are similar. Then I began to miss the taste of rural banquets, always thinking that I would have the opportunity to go to the countryside to eat banquets.
At the end of March this year, Hugh and I went to Mangshan for a banquet. After many years, we once again felt the taste of rural banquet.
Big stove fire, big steamer, end adjusting plate, generous table, long stool.
Banquets made by rural guests at home are not as delicious as those in hotels in cities, but there are lively scenes and the feeling of eating "seats" in the countryside. I also like to eat rural banquets!
In rural areas, it generally coincides with housewarming, weddings and other major happy events. Generally, more than a dozen wedding banquets will be held, and villagers from Shili will be invited to celebrate, and * * * will share their joy. The taste of rural banquet dishes is naturally unspeakable. Chefs are generally well-known local chefs, and they are usually looking for him at any wedding reception. Although their cooking is not as exquisite as those so-called chefs we see on TV, their cooking principles are also half-baked.
When I was in my hometown, I was especially looking forward to the village banquet since I was a child. Once I heard that there was going to be a wedding banquet, I was so excited that my little feet couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, I rushed over and occupied a place. As a baby from snacks to big wedding banquets, I am ecstatic about village banquets.
In my opinion, this has a lot to do with the food culture in rural areas.
(1) First of all, rural life is generally poor, and hardworking people in China are thrifty. In the past, at least in my childhood memory, they were not very rich. In my impression, I was a little hungry and my face was thin and yellow.
Simple meals are a daily thing, and only a little fish will be fed to greedy bugs on holidays. You think about living a life of thin oil bubbles for a long time, and suddenly there will be a good meal. The key is enough weight. Don't worry about not having enough to eat as you do at home. At the village banquet, you can open your stomach and eat freely. A table is full of villagers, and the environment is comfortable. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
(2) The ingredients used in the wedding banquet are quite fresh. As far as I'm concerned, I bought seafood products directly at the fishing port pier that day. The chickens and ducks used are all free-range in the countryside, and now they are all cooked. Without a middleman and the chef's exquisite skills, the dishes made are naturally mouth-watering.
However, when we go home now, we seldom eat village banquets. Modern people tend to go to hotels for wedding banquets when they get married. We can only catch up with some wedding banquets moved from the countryside, which means that this generation of babies have no chance to feel the happiness of going to wedding banquets as children.
However, it is unusual for flowers to bloom and fall.
This generation naturally has their happiness and happiness.
When I was a child, eating a wedding banquet was satisfaction and happiness.
When I go back to my hometown, my neighbors are always angry about vegetables, such as bolai, vegetables, garlic, broad beans, adzuki beans and so on. It's all delivered one by one. I said there were many in Shanghai, but the farmers said it was different. Delicious. Delicious. At that time, I was shocked and thought, although I have seen a lot in big cities, I am still behind in food knowledge.
It turns out that farmers in their hometown grow all kinds of vegetables at their doorsteps and behind their houses. They can absorb sunlight and rain and dew outdoors. They are fresh, tender and delicious.
Farmers in their hometown keep poultry, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and the same taste seems to have the same feeling as vegetables.
Urban vegetables are plastic greenhouses used by vegetable owners to isolate sunlight and rain, and use heat to make vegetables grow quickly, sell quickly and save money quickly. Therefore, I understand the feelings of my hometown neighbors.
I understand and agree that banquets in rural areas are particularly delicious. They all grow their own vegetables, as well as their own poultry, pigs and sheep.
This understanding of speaking with facts has found the reason why the farmhouse banquet is delicious.
I come from the countryside and work in a big city. I don't like any big fish and meat. I always feel that the seasoning is too strong. It's really delicious to go home for a village banquet during the Spring Festival. I don't grow vegetables, but I have my own unique taste. Unlike in the city, everything feels the same.
First of all, many instruments for making village banquets are not modern. For example, the steamed vegetables in my family are all made of bamboo, and the fire is made of wood or coal ... These traditional ways can preserve the original flavor of the ingredients.
Second, the ingredients are fresh. Many vegetarian dishes are from their own fields, and even if they are bought, they are from the surrounding races, which is more delicious than those in greenhouses. There is also less pork growing up on feed. After all, if it's not delicious, everyone will know if they taste it. Fish and eels are basically wild and taste particularly good.
Third, after all, you can't eat village banquets every day. Passers-by can only eat with banquets. It's rare to eat less of them, so it feels delicious, but it's really delicious (my favorite dish is steamed eel, which is huge and super delicious. ) And there are many lively people, friends and relatives talk while eating, and naturally they eat fragrant.
