Chapter 34 Weiss Smoked Chicken

Liaocheng was formerly known as Dongchang Mansion. Dongchang Mansion was a big mansion in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It strangled the intersection of the Yellow River and the Canal, and became a commercial port. It was very prosperous, as evidenced by the Shanshan Guild Hall.The Shanshan Guild Hall is a complex of buildings with a stage inside. The relief carvings are exquisite, and the stories are engraved on the eaves.And Yu Mulou, now known as Guangyue Tower, is the original version of a famous Chinese building. Its wooden structure was built with the remaining wood from the Forbidden City, so it got its name.Those pillars are all Philippine logs. When the wood was transported from the canal to Kyoto, the Forbidden City was successfully built when it arrived in Dongchang Prefecture.You can see Dongyue Taishan from the Guangyue Tower, which was in the past.Liaocheng is located in the middle of Dongchang Lake. When I went there, they were inviting world famous tourism experts to design tourist attraction construction plans.

The sages said: Playing with things loses one's ambition.That is to say, you can't just talk about playing, I deeply understand that you must also talk about eating.There is a famous dish in Liaocheng called "Wei's Smoked Chicken".In the past, I only knew that people in Hunan were particular about eating smoked food, but I didn’t expect that people in Liaocheng were also particular about smoked food.Is Liaocheng a city that likes to chat?There are two ways to eat Wei's smoked chicken, making wine dishes and tea dishes, and it is estimated that they are eaten when chatting.Talking about the Wei’s smoked chicken in Liaocheng, it was on the wine table. I have forgotten what kind of wine I drank, because Liaocheng’s wine regulations are three cups as a respect. Accompanied by the time, gradually getting drunk with the guests, what's the matter?He drank so much that he even forgot any wine, it must be in Liaocheng.

The practice of Wei's smoked chicken is unique.Choose a three-pound rooster, kill it well and clean it. There are sixteen traditional Chinese medicines and related spices inside. It is boiled in a special iron pot or clay pot, and the Chinese medicine and spices are infiltrated into the meat, and then suspended and placed in the fire to smoke.Smoking is an extremely slow process, first charcoal grilling, and then smoking, with relatively pure wood sawdust placed on a hot iron plate to draw the smoke.A big rooster that weighs three catties is smoked to about one catty, and it is as brown as iron.

To eat Wei's smoked chicken, you have to saw it with a knife and then tear it up.When making tea dishes, that is, tea refreshments, they can be two inches long, tear out very fine fibers, and put them on a porcelain plate. They are fluffy like meat floss. I think they are the tassels of life.When serving with wine, it must be shorter and the fiber must be torn thicker. I think it is because of the alcohol attack when drinking, so the chewing will be more vigorous.Tasting tea is naturally to drink lightly and chew slowly. Wei's smoked chicken is a chewy dish.In cuisine, chewing vegetables can be divided into crisp chewing and soft chewing.Orchid beans and fried peanuts belong to the crunchy series, beef jerky and stewed Shunfeng can be regarded as soft chewy, Wei's smoked chicken can be classified as soft chewy, very tough.Chewing Wei's smoked chicken, the fragrance gradually oozes out on the sides of the tongue, and the back of the tongue can feel the smell of fireworks. Such a smell of fireworks can easily give people the feelings of rural life and the longing for the years.

I ate Wei’s Smoked Chicken in Liaocheng on June 22. So far, I have exhausted all the cash I brought in my pocket. I have not been able to withdraw money from the CCB and post office in Liaocheng with my dragon card and postal savings passbook. , I have never had the extravagant hope of tasting Wei smoked chicken, and I am thinking of eating two meals of sesame seed cakes for the day. After visiting several scenic spots in Liaocheng, I buy a 50 yuan ticket and go to Zhengzhou.Just at this time, Director Cui Huajun of the Liaocheng Tourism Bureau sent someone to invite him to the dinner, and there was a famous Liaocheng dish, Wei’s smoked chicken.After eating Wei's smoked chicken, I will remember Liaocheng as a tourist destination.Who is bored in life, talking about Lu Xi is delicious.Boring, I thought it was not much ado about nothing, but nothing to say.Liaocheng is also a place to talk.

Wei's smoked chicken is said to be for quality preservation. Travelers bring it on the journey, tearing the chicken while drinking slowly, but I didn't bring it, because the luggage is heavy.
