Chapter 468
A kind of cabbage called "high bar white" with a pole as white as jade, with at least seven or eight kilograms of cabbage called "high bar white" in each tree. Only in southern Anhui, so coriander can only be found in southern Anhui. Every year, people from pickling factories and sauce shops often see people from pickling factories and sauce shops go to the countryside to collect cabbage. A group of people come to the vegetable field, chop down the vegetables, and after weighing them, they dry them on the spot. After a certain amount of time, the portion is greatly reduced, and then transport them back to the factory. The wilted vegetables are placed in the pool to clean, which is not easy to break, and the vegetable gang is also easy to clean. Wash and chop, dry the water, or rub it on the machine or manually, squeeze out the juice, mix it with chili powder, baked rapeseed oil, black sesame, salt, mix it and put it in the can. Leave some empty at the can so that the mouth of the can is sealed with mashed garlic paste.
Zhangdu, on the upper reaches of Qingyi River, is a Huishang Wharf town with rows of stilt houses in the past ten "Writings" and "Man" are divided into prosperous "Books". Until now, every winter, the huge jar of the sauce shop in the town is pickled with coriander and diced radish. Anyone who travels to Zhangdu for tourism and field trips does not carry a bag of 2 bags of coriander and diced radish when they come back, and the itinerary is not perfect. Buy it home and stay open for a certain period of time. The newly pickled coriander is green and yellow, very bright.
, drizzled with small grind sesame oil, it tastes fresh, salty and sweet, tough and crispy, spicy in the fragrance, endless and chewy. The rice can be appetizing, and it can refresh the spirit with wine, and it can keep the fragrance after eating. It is a real local specialty delicacy. Breakfast with porridge is especially good. The most common one is to serve morning tea, tear a few pieces of dried tea, mix it with a small plate of coriander, and pickle red peppers, or chew it alone, or chat with two or three friends to understand the layers of life, which is as good as a fairy.
The flavors of coriander in southern Anhui vary slightly, but they are spicy and tasty, and have a timeless flavor. Compared with the factory, the home-made process seems more detailed and dedicated. They choose a good sunny day, take a knife to the ground to make the whole bed strong and tender, with rich water juice, chop down the long-necked cabbage, dry it on the spot, wash it on the spot. Cut it into inch-long thin strips, spread it on the bamboo bed or directly placed on the bamboo mat spread on the grass and dry it on the sheets. Dry vegetables are very particular, and they cannot be too dry or dry.
It will be too old and it tastes thorny; if it is not dry enough, the moisture in the vegetable will be too large and it will not be crispy, lack taste, and will not be stored for a long time. Generally speaking, it is enough to dry three or four suns. Then rub and sweat the vegetables to be considered as kneading. Mash the garlic and stir-fry them, sprinkle cooked vegetable oil, five-spice powder, chili powder, stir-fry black sesame seeds and mix well, put them in the jar and press them tightly, then seal the mouth of the jar with dry lotus leaves, apply yellow paste to the outside, and store it in a cool and dry place.
Some are packed in small, glazed small jars. When they open the jar, the room smells full, which makes people's index fingers move. They sniff hard, and then they can quickly pick up several stems and put them into their mouths to feast. Every morning when there is porridge sip in the future seems delicious and moist... The mellowness of human feelings is like the fragrance of coriander over time.
In the countryside, it is better to say that coriander is delicious than to say that it is a kind of custom. For people in the countryside and small towns, the sunny days every year when washing vegetables are like a series of festivals with a strong rural atmosphere.
The sun is so good. The cleanest clouds and the transparent breeze in winter are caressing the mountains in the distance. Wherever you go, beside the river, by the pond, at the stream, with people washing vegetables, and ears full of jokes. Those who carry vegetables and stand in a large bathtub first step off the sewage on the vegetables are all young men. Women and children often squat or squat on the water made of their own door panels and rinse them in clear water. Clean straw is spread on the ground beside the water to dry vegetables, and some are also drying vegetables with bamboo beds. After being soaked, the vegetables with white and green leaves are absorbed, and they become solid, moist and fresh again. The goose and ducks leisurely chased the scattered vegetables on the water surface.
The young women took off their red and green outer jackets and put them on the tree branches and grass beside them. Their figures in thin shirts are more pretty and charming. Their white and tender calves are sometimes soaked in water, which makes many small fish gather in groups to intimate with their mouths, and their laughter sways are blowing, which can blow up the ripples on the water surface more than the warm breeze... The reason why coriander is delicious is unforgettable because coriander is firstly pickled and smoked by these strong rural customs and feelings.
