Chapter 70 Section 70 Chinese Pizza: Xianghe Meatloaf

It is said that the name of Xianghe was taken by Zhu Di, the fourth prince of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Di was the king of Yan. After he pacified the Yuan soldiers, he returned to Jingdong to build a new capital. He sent Liu Bowen to find the land, and found Shuyang Town, Xianghe. It was early summer, surrounded by Shuyang Town Surrounding the river, surrounded by milk mist, lotus flowers are in full bloom, willows are in full bloom, cranes are flying and cicadas are singing. When Zhu Di came here to see it, he exclaimed: This place is really Xianghe.Therefore, the capital was established according to the ratio of one-tenth of the original Beijing city.And from Ming to Qing, Xianghe was directly under the imperial court, and the magistrate of Xianghe was exempted from welcoming and sending off gifts when officials came.

Xianghe County is a vast plain. There are two famous cities and one cake in Jingdong: the first city in the world, furniture city and Xianghe meat pie.The No. 1 City in the World was built by CITIC Guoan with an investment of 2 billion. The famous scenery includes the replica of the Old Summer Palace.Xianghe Furniture City is as big as Beijing.Xianghe meat pie can be called Chinese pizza. It is a pie with a long history, and it is also a delicious pie, which is very special and very attractive.Xianghe meat pie was called Jingdong meat pie in the old days. It can be traced back to the Turkic pie a thousand years ago. The Turkic nomadic people herded cattle and sheep and did not do farming. They had more beef and mutton but less pasta. Therefore, when making cakes for guests, they are also filled with meat. The skin is thin, and this method was spread to the Uighur and the Uighur region.At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, and a large number of Hui people moved to Jingdong, and Xianghe meat pie took root.However, the commercial promotion of Xianghe meat pies is still a family surnamed Ha. After a hundred years of operation, the Ha family shop has spread Xianghe meat pies all over the Beijing and Tianjin regions.Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem: There are strange cakes in Xianghe, and old women have new skills. After a meal in this restaurant, forget the treasures of the world.

After all, Xianghe is a small county. It is difficult to sell meat pies in Beijing without a well-known teacher. In order to strengthen the reputation, I took a Jingdong meat pie. People thought that the meat pies in Dongcheng, Beijing, were not meat pies from a small county in the countryside. It is said that it is meat pie from the three counties of Dachang, Sanhe and Xianghe in the east of Beijing.These three counties are sandwiched between Beijing and Tianjin, an enclave in Hebei. It seems that the people of Hebei have not developed it well. Jingdong Meatloaf lacks dominance in the taste zone where roast duck and mutton dominate the world, but it makes Sanhe County Registered trademark of "Jingdong meatloaf".God, isn't Sanhe County greedy for the cake of the world?The people of Xianghe simply named it Xianghe Meat Pie. The name Xianghe Meat Pie was really clever. What is Jingdong worth for Xianghe Meat Pie?It just so happens that the Chinese Football Association has a base in Xianghe. In 2004, the eventful autumn of Chinese football, the "revolutionary" club launched an arduous tug-of-war with the Chinese Football Association in Xianghe. In the end, the Chinese Football Association successfully suppressed the "revolutionary" club. The disciple Yan Shiduo tragically resigned as the ending.Unfortunately for football, when reporters from dozens of media across the country came to Xianghe to report on football, Xianghe meat pie gave football reporters fragrant comfort.Regarding cakes, Hahn, the head coach of the Chinese national team, was identified by Sun Jihai's father as a "cake genius". In Dalian dialect, cakes should be a fool. Only then, it can be renamed China Bakery Association, Xianghe Meatloaf, and it has become famous all over the world since then.

For Xianghe Meat Cakes, one big cake uses one catty of noodles, two catties of meat, and one catty of green onions. The diameter of the cake is two feet, and the meat is divided into beef, mutton and pork.I feel the freshness of the lamb, the tenderness of the pork, and the strong flavor of the beef.Xianghe meatloaf consists of two layers of paper-thin dough with a thick layer of meat filling.The skin is thin and elastic, and the meat filling is like mud. Add green onions, fennel, etc., and stir with sesame oil.After the meat filling is wrapped, the whole meatloaf is turned over on the pan, and the skin is gradually browned, puffing up like a ball, completely leak-free, and then brushed with oil, the dough is translucent, and the meat filling is vivid.Tough on the outside and soft on the inside, fresh on the inside and fragrant on the outside, this meat pie tastes amazing, the real Chinese cake king!Chinese Pizza!I went to Xianghe to eat meatloaf in autumn, and I could vaguely see people fishing and casting nets in Xianghe. Xianghe County was originally a vegetable and non-staple food base in Beijing. When the sky is clear and the weather is clear, the leek sheds in Xianghe are green to the sky.Now, people in Xianghe County have also registered Xianghe meat pies. There are 200 meat pie shops in Xianghe County, and I have eaten Xianghe meat pies made from donkey meat.However, when outsiders come to the meat pie shop opened by Xianghe, they can no longer use Xianghe meat pies. They sell Jingdong meat pies, and the old brands are sold as miscellaneous brands in Xianghe.It's really a cake to know the autumn, the world is unpredictable.
