I have always liked Xiantao, not only because Xiantao is my hometown, but also because the water culture there is not tacky. The latter is the inspiration that I have been to many places.

Some friends think that the "Mianyang Three Steams" there fascinates me and makes me dare to bring a bowl of water for the 9.6 million square kilometers of mountains and rivers of the motherland.

I like to eat' Mianyang Sanzheng', especially steamed rice field eel with powder, which has nothing to do with partial eclipse. This is a bad reputation of a' good man'. Eel is actually the simplest dish on the table of Xiantao people.

Eels are now slaughtered and eaten. They can be fried, exploded, fried and stewed. In Xiantao, eel is not only steamed with powder, but also roasted, shredded and stewed with cucumber. Xiantao people are smart and imaginative, and can show the local culture.

Xiantao Monopterus albus grows in the calm and rainy Jianghan Plain. People here love to eat it, not only because its meat is tender, but also because it has high nutritional value and contains a lot of amino acids and vitamins needed by the human body.

Friends travel to Xiantao, come to Hanwang Chen Youliang's hometown, see the lotus fairyland, then go to Hu Sha Wetland Park to see the endless reeds, look up at all kinds of waterfowl in the sky, and one day, when they visit a farm yard, they can order the plump eel in a water tank.

Jianghan Plain in early summer has warm sunshine and abundant rainfall. Watery vegetables grow in vegetable fields of farmers' families. The boss took some garlic moss from the garden, picked some cucumbers and green peppers, washed them and put them in the pot. Cooking a stir-fry meal, soon, the smell of eel steak was held by garlic moss and spread all over the house.

The boss brought you a plate of cooked garlic eel, and you sipped your beer leisurely and wolfed it down. At this moment, a plate of green pepper fried eel came out again. Followed by delicious rice.

Cucumber eel soup is stewed with firewood. The beauty of local practice lies in the delicious taste of cucumber into eel, which is not as crisp as cucumber. How can eel in casserole be tender and moist?

The guests were flushed with rice as the base, and then each of them came to a bowl of hot cucumber and eel soup, which diluted the beer and choked the rice, and they were not thirsty at all. It's full of wine and rice. How do you feel at this moment? I haven't seen enough beautiful scenery of Xiantao, but I came back to eat delicious Monopterus albus in the beautiful scenery. The winding path of the stream in the farm yard is really a rare elegance in my life.

When you are in a good mood, you can find the feeling by tasting the green food-Xiantao Monopterus albus and the scene of' Don't laugh at farm wine, don't laugh at farm wine'.

I love steamed Monopterus albus since I was a child. Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter, and people choose the Dragon Boat Festival as a reward. In the era when there was no refrigerator, it was difficult to put scaly fish away, so we had to buy some scaly fish to cook. Such as loach and eel.

Slaughtered and cleaned Monopterus albus is smashed into pieces, cut into sections, mixed with rice flour, steamed in a wood stove steamer until half cooked, picked up and put in a bowl. After all the guests arrive, turn over an empty bowl, put it in a steamer, heat it, take it out, pour it on the hook, sprinkle some chopped green onion and serve. Rice noodles are not greasy on eel, delicious and tender. Steamed Monopterus albus replaced the essential steamed fish in "Mianyang Three Steams".

At that time, the economy was underdeveloped and it was difficult to eat at home.

Beautiful and rich Xiantao, where there is water, there is eel. With the progress of science, Monopterus albus is now farmed artificially, forming a large industrial scale and selling well at home and abroad. There is no need to catch fish baskets everywhere like I did when I was a child. I want to eat conveniently.

Friend, there are more ways to eat the eels in Xiantao. If you go to Xiantao one day, please let me know before you leave. Maybe I can be a smart tour guide, visit Xiantao and eat eels for you. But being a tour guide is just a beautiful excuse for me. In fact, I want to find a chance to go back to my hometown to eat steamed eel with powder.
