Chapter 90 Lanzhou hot winter fruit

In the Northwest, the fruits are vegetarian, sweet and of good quality, leaving memories for many tourists. When I went to the Northwest, I ate many fruits and preserved fruits, and I liked them all. I especially love frozen pears.The dark pears are hardened only after being frozen under the ice and snow, and they are as heavy as an iron ball.General tourists stay away from it, but Lanzhou people call it a special product. I am interested. I bought a few in the snow and kept holding them as treasures, but later they melted into a bag of thick soup. After walking around Lanzhou City, I found that in every street and alley in Lanzhou, some farmers were carrying baskets and selling frozen pears in the snow, and Lanzhou people rushed to buy them.I deliberately chatted with the seller and asked for some knowledge.Frozen pears are a kind of yellow-skinned pears produced in the northwest. Because the ripening season is late and the northwest freezes early, many pears are frozen by the cold evening wind before they can be picked. To sell in the city.There are also some pears that cannot be eaten after picking, and are frozen outdoors on cold nights, becoming frozen pears.The frozen pears are plump and firm, which is indeed a bit pleasing.

Northwesterners have a habit of eating frozen pears. Put the frozen pears in cold water and soak them for a period of time. When the frozen shell is soft and the frozen pear heart slowly melts, gently knock the frozen pears open. There is a light yellow honey juice in it, which is the frozen pear flesh.Put the opening of the frozen pear close to your mouth, squeeze it with both hands, and suck in your mouth forcefully, the pear juice will slide into your mouth like jelly, sweet and delicious, cooling your body and mind.Eliminate dryness and heat after eating, clear fire and detoxify. Frozen pears are the most in Gansu Province, and Gaolan Shichuan and Lanzhou Xigu are the best. They are rich in fruit acid, citric acid, sucrose and other ingredients. A special kind of fruit among fruits.

In Lanzhou, frozen pears are made into soup and sweets, called Redongguo, which is another way to eat frozen pears. The famous Duji dessert in Lanzhou is famous for making gray bean soup, and there is also a delicacy called hot winter fruit. Steamed frozen pears are called hot winter fruits, but I don't know why, and I checked some information, but I didn't get any results. The hot winter fruit is heated with winter pears, steamed and then simmered slowly, so that the pear meat melts in the mouth and the pear skin falls off. According to reports: pears have the effect of clearing heat and dispelling fire.In the south, there is a folk prescription. If a cough persists for a long time, steam it with Sydney pears, add white sugar to boil for a while, and take it with soup and pears, and the cough will be relieved immediately.I learned about the hot winter fruit in Lanzhou, which also has very high medical value. It has the functions of promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, clearing heart and lungs, eliminating troubles and diuresis, clearing heat and detoxification, moistening throat and eliminating phlegm, reducing fire and relieving cough.If you take out the pear core, steam it with honey and rock sugar, and eat it with soup, it will have the effect of relieving cough and dispelling cold, clearing lung and removing phlegm.

I have been to Lanzhou twice, both of which went to Duji Desserts. I ate the hot winter fruit, tasted the authentic Lanzhou hot winter fruit taste, and also felt the Northwest food style. The hot winter fruit that came up at the beginning smelled a scent of Sydney. The soup was clear and the color was similar to that of frozen pears. The color of brown sugar water was not cloudy.Pears are not smashed like they are smashed, they are still steamed and shoveled with a spoon.There are pear skins floating in the brown sugar water, and the fragmented pear flesh with silk whiskers is suspended in the water.Gently dig with a spoon, it is easy to scrape off the pear flesh, eat it in your mouth, it is sweet and slightly sour, soft and delicious.

Eating hot winter fruit, according to gourmets, mainly lies in drinking soup.I am not a gourmet, and I am not too particular about eating. I took a small spoonful and put it in my mouth. My tongue tasted sweet and greasy, like honey, slightly sour.The lips are a bit sticky, and I feel the thickness of the soup. Drink it slowly, the thickness becomes more and more serious, and it has an adhesive effect. After drinking half a bowl of soup, the pear meat is still hot, and the small pieces of pear meat are very delicate and smooth.I wanted to taste the pear heart. I shoveled a small piece of it. It was sweet and sour. After chewing it slowly, I felt that the flesh of the pear heart was rough and had hard particles.

I think: Lanzhou sweets, Shure Dongguo is the most natural and authentic green food.
