Chapter 116 Sing folk songs

Japanese ingredients will also make sea urchins into tempura, and the sea urchins wrapped in perilla leaves are covered with frying, like a small purse. Perilla leaves play a shaped role and bring a clear and special herbal fragrance.

The strong taste contrast is the seductive charm of this dish. The outer skin is crispy perilla leaves, and the inner core is between raw and cooked, like a heart-boiled egg, with a hint of coolness and sweetness, which makes people addicted.

Sea urchins in Spain are often eaten with bread. Cut off the upper half of the shells and gently scoop out the urchin yellow with bread. As soon as you enter the mouth, they come to the face with the salty and fresh flavor of the sea breeze. Although it is not as thick as the Japanese sea urchin sashimi, the sweetness is not diminished at all.

Sicily in Italy is rich in seafood. Sea urchin pasta Spaghetti  ai i  di  Mare is a signature dish. Fresh sea urchin is fried with olive oil, sea salt and garlic, add the cooked pasta, and finally sprinkle with a little parsley. The delicious sea urchin turns into a thick sauce to wrap each slick pasta.

There is a more home-style method for cooking sea urchins in Chinese food, which is steamed directly. Many fresh sea urchins bought on the market are sometimes not so complete, so they simply break them up and mix them with eggs to make steamed sea urchins.

Sea urchins and eggs have a unique umami flavor, which is very compatible. From the outside, it seems plain, but the delicious and plump sea flavor hidden in the smooth and steamed eggs is definitely a exciting little surprise.

Finally, the boss simply took out a bottle of white wine, knocked on more than a dozen sea urchins and scallops, sprinkled them on, and used a little fire...

Good guy,

Very cool!

After resting in Zhanzidao for a night, the trip to Dalian ended and left the Northeast. He headed straight to Guizhou. He had long wanted to go to Miao Village and experience different styles.

He called Song Qiao to choose a local Miao tour guide. Ginny, who is petite, has a beautiful face and a sense of spirituality.

I bought an off-road vehicle for 500,000 yuan and went straight to the Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. The girl was very lively, her voice was like a lark, crisp and pleasant, and she chattered and introduced various customs and cultures.

"When many people say that ethnic minorities gathering places seem to be Yunnan? What is Dali facing Erhai Lake and backed by Cangshan Mountain, Tengchong, the famous Ginkgo Fallen Hot Spring, the fairyland Shangri-La and Xishuangbanna..."

Wrinkled his nose and said unconvincedly: "Xijiang is in Guizhou, just like Lijiang is in Yunnan, it has too many ethnic characteristics. For example, Fengyuqiao stilt house, silver clothing, long table banquet..."

"There are also the mysterious Miao culture, the comfortable pastoral life, the lights of thousands of families deep in the mountains, and the ancient wooden building village unique to the Miao people..."

"In short, one sentence: As long as you come to Xijiang Miao Village, you can definitely satisfy all your imagination!"

Johnson leaned comfortably and squinted his eyes. The weather was very good. The sun was shining on his body, and he was lazy and didn't want to move. Three hours later, he arrived at the destination, got off the car, and started entering the Miao village.

After stepping into the village gate, accompanied by the locals singing and dancing laughter, I drank twelve wines on the door, all packed in a bamboo tube. I heard from the little girl that the degree was not high, and it was only 42 degrees...

There is no way, so I can only drink three cups in a row. This is the most solemn welcome ceremony for the Miao people, which means blessings. Who dares not to drink it?

Xijiang itself is a huge original museum and the largest gathering place for Miao people in the world. Various well-preserved ancient buildings on both sides, stilt houses, seven wind and rain bridges, and the first stop is the Seventh Wind and Rain Bridge.

The entire village is composed of ten villages, and the villagers still live a primitive life. There are large terraces everywhere. Walking through the ridges, Jay Chou’s "The Fragrance of Rice" has been echoing in his ears:

As the Daoxiang River continues to run... Country songs, forever rely on, go home, return to the original beauty...

Especially when I climbed to the ancient pavilion on the top of the mountain, I met a group of sketching art students, and from their brushes, they depicted a more personalized terraced landscape and ancient Miao village buildings. The strong atmosphere of life in the village, the village people carrying bamboo joints, and the houses with smoke curling cooking smoke...

Suddenly, the sky was drizzling, which reflected the unique charm of Miao Village, adding a refreshing and a touch of heart.

Strolling on the main street, the stores are faintly filled with modern prosperity, but the characteristics of the Miao family are not lost. They not only meet the needs of a tourist for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also feel the national characteristics.

I often see the store’s unique Miao style greeting, with young men playing the reed selves, and beautiful Miao girls holding ox horn cups in their hands to fill the wine blocking the door for you.

There are drums, guitars, or ukuleles in the street musical instrument store. Every song played in the store can unexpectedly touch people's hearts and go straight to the bottom of your heart at this moment.

Under the leadership of Ginny, I left the main street and came to the inconspicuous homestays, walked into the hillside and alleys, and saw the ordinary people. I took a step further to the prosperity and simplicity. The stilt houses have a peaceful tranquility that is uncontested, which makes me yearn for.

Thick moss grows on the mottled wooden boards. The old old house carries the memories of the 70s. The layout is tortuous and steep. Daily life makes many elderly people hunch their backs, but they still do not change their desire for a happy life, and their faces are full of kind and optimistic smiles...

Following the curved path, walking past the elderly and children, chatting with middle-aged people selling pork in front of the house, and workers carrying shoulder poles and struggling to carry up the steps. The pictures in front of us were filled with tranquility and inseparability everywhere.

I found the most luxurious homestay to stay in, and I was hungry and started to find food. Ginny was very excited and pulled Johnson's mouth like a machine gun, and she couldn't stop.

"Originally, this restaurant was called Zhou Mei Snack Shop, but later its business became more and more popular. I simply registered a trademark and changed it to a rural farmhouse. As long as you ask any local person if you have any delicious recommendations, you will say this."

Everyone came to a small and rustic shop. Ginny introduced: "It has been open for five years. The soup is stewed with fresh and high-quality beef and mutton, without any fishy smell. The beef powder is made like mutton powder and coriander to enhance the flavor. The soup is good, fragrant but not oily!"

"Next is Huinong sour soup, a ten-year-old restaurant. Her chili is made by her own home. Before eating noodles, she drinks a sip of sour soup. The base of the soup is bone soup. In addition, it is slightly spicy sour soup, accompanied by bacon handmade rice skin or rice noodles, meat foam, sausage, quail eggs, and a full bowl. It is absolutely satisfying. Unfortunately, it's only sold in the morning..."

"Tang Ji Five-color glutinous rice, glutinous rice, purple vines, yellow flowers, maple leaves, red silk thread, soaked into liquid, combined and steamed, colorful, symbolizing the good life, and there are two flavors. Mix the salty ones with leek roots and spicy salt vegetables; sprinkle peanuts, sugar, leads, and bean noodles. The two flavors are completely different in flavor..."

I ate while walking and had all kinds of snacks. Finally, I came to a store, which was in the ancient Gage alley, and was not even facing the street. It was called a red brick house. The little girl especially recommended it.

The ceiling light in the center of the lobby was written by the owner. 2,888 butterflies were reflected on the wall under the lights, moving in the wind. Even the borders of the lights were made of handmade silver. It was said that it took 20 days.

The store is decorated with various Miao embroidery and hanging paintings, and even the batik pillows are privately collected by the owner. When they enter the private room, Ginny smiled and said, "It is necessary for local foodies to know that this store is a mistake even if tourists come to eat it. Not only is the taste very good, but the key is that he can order many dishes that are not available in other stores in Xijiang, which belong to the chef's private dishes."

Johnson Johnson is very satisfied. He should eat the most distinctive classics, otherwise what should he do?

Let the little girl order all the specialties. First, the secret eggplant is served, which is known as a five-star recommendation, and the chef's special trick. Pick up a piece, and the outer skin of the eggplant is roasted with the sauce fragrance but not mushy. Cook it with the meat foam at the same time. The meat fragrance penetrates the eggplant and then wraps it with thickened sauce. It's pretty good.

The secret tofu looks like tofu rounds. When you put it in your mouth, you will find that the tofu is tender and soft local water tofu. It is wrapped in a layer and fryed in the pan. The heat is just right, and the meat is sweet, fresh and fragrant, and the aftertaste is sweet.

Iron plate beef, fresh free-range paddy beef, the meat is tender, and served with black pepper seasoning, hot teppanyaki, locking the aroma of beef, and paired with green pepper umami flavor...

Sour soup fish, Xijiang signature, sour soup is made pure and natural, without any additives. The fish is made of river balls, with less thorns and tender meat, dancing on the tip of the tongue, sweating all over the body, and feasting.

The highlights are rice wine and yogurt. I heard from the owner that the rice wine is good because his family does not hold a long table banquet and there will be no waste of the toasting process, so they choose more mellow and better rice wine. The yogurt is also made of large brands of yogurt, which has a sweet taste and the side dishes are just right.

After drinking and eating, I returned to the B&B and asked Ginny to put on national costumes. Her golden voice like a lark sounded in her ears, melodious and crisp, lingering and sad, and couldn't help but rush to the yellow dragon and pouring into a thousand miles...

Kneel under your crotch and sing a mountain song:

A stream of green water protects the village flow,

Stilthouses on green mountains on both sides of the strait.

A thousand households will be found in a thousand years.
