Chinese people are too imaginative in naming food.For example, Leng can call chicken feet chicken feet.Do you think it sounds good or not?It is really turning decay into magic. I have never seen Phoenix (I guess no one has).But I have eaten chicken feet.In the cooked food shops on the streets of Beijing, it only costs a few yuan a catty.Eating and eating, I am actually addicted to this stuff.Not exactly because of its good name, and the taste is not bad. In the first few years of working, I often went on business trips in other places, riding hard-seat trains, like a supply and marketing man.Hold your breath and pull down the unpalatable boxed lunch on the train. You are full, but you are even more greedy.Just want to buy some snacks and drink beer.

Every time I stop at a small station, I have to open the window to buy a bottle of local beer.They are all unknown.Drinking all the way, all the beers from these different river basins gathered in my body.I found the feeling of inclusiveness. Chicken feet are the first choice for appetizers.Almost every platform has carts for sale, vacuum-packed in plastic bags.Unexpectedly, chicken feet will be so popular. Going out alone, unencumbered.I think of the idiom Youlong Xifeng.It's just that I'm not playing Phoenix, but Phoenix Claw.The production methods vary greatly from place to place: there are stewed ones, wild pepper pickled ones, and even fried ones after being wrapped in bread...

After a meal, the chicken feet are very suitable for a drink.It chews the head and does not bloat the stomach.While gnawing, he squinted at the green mountains and green waters outside the window.In fact, it’s okay to drink with the scenery alone, but after a long time, it’s inevitable that the taste will be dull.Picking up a chicken paw and chewing on it is a game. There is a joke.It is said that a Shanghainese came to Beijing and brought a crab to eat on the train. When the train reached the end, he ate only one leg of the crab.This is to describe this person's stinginess.But does it also mean: he is not hungry, he is just eating for fun.

Chicken feet also belong to this kind of food that is eaten and played when not hungry.Otherwise, when passing through Dezhou, I would have bought a whole grilled chicken.Or, give up the chicken feet and take the pig's trotters. On a boring trip, drinking beer with chicken feet is equivalent to eating melon seeds while drinking tea.Kill the time. I don't know when, the Chinese had a whim to call chicken feet chicken feet.It was very prescient.Chickens have gotten a somewhat tainted reputation in recent years.In many places, the lady is called a chicken.If it is commensurate with chicken feet, will it affect the mood of diners and sales?unknown.

But the phoenix is ​​definitely a bird without any shortcomings in Chinese mythology.We can't see it because it's so perfect. Since no one can see it, chickens are often used as its substitute.Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix, a famous Guangdong dish, is stewed with snakes, cats and chickens. Chinese food is very creative.The most precious and hardest-to-obtain condiment in Chinese cuisine is imagination.It can even raise the mundane chicken feet to the metaphysical realm.The dragon and the phoenix, the two mascots in mythology, can be found in common people's recipes.Chinese food is indeed the most qualified to be called culture.

A folk gourmet, even if he is uneducated (even if he is simply illiterate), he is still considered a literate person. In China, it is almost impossible to find people who are completely uneducated.If you don't understand other cultures, you should also understand a little food culture.Greed is his thirst for knowledge.
