Chapter 3 Soybean in Huangzhou

I just think Huangzhou is a miracle.Like many historical celebrities, Huangzhou has produced many delicacies. Regardless of the many delicacies attached to Su Dongpo, Huangzhou can completely form its own independent cuisine.As for the folklore of food, it is also true and false, that is, whether you believe it or not, you may make a one-sided empirical error, because folk legends are always being revised, and they tend to tend to the present. , For example, eating while burning grains, from today's perspective, it is millet popcorn, but it was definitely not the case in the primitive era.The unhulled millet is roasted on a burning stone, and eaten when it smells burnt, and some rice crackers may pop out of it, but it is not a professional popcorn.Many delicacies in Huangzhou are related to Huangzhou's real estate, culture and lifestyle. The key is that Huangzhou cuisine is expressed in people's livelihood.

This place in Huangzhou is now called Huanggang. There is a kind of food that may run through the life of Huangzhou people, and that is fried soybeans.How important is fried soybeans to Huangzhou people?From childhood to old age, Huangzhou people eat fried soybeans, regardless of their social status, whether they have lived in their hometown for a lifetime, or they are in the capital, or they are traveling across the sea. In modern civilized countries, a handful of fried soybeans is still their favorite.This kind of love is very strange. Does the independent personality of Huangzhou people have something to do with fried soybeans?

One day, I suddenly discovered that Huangzhou people are like fried soybeans. Every fried soybean is excellent, round and plump, crispy and crisp, but they have nothing to do with each other. Huangzhou people are also very good. All Huangzhou When people gather together, it's like a pot of fried soybeans, a typical pot of loose beans. In terms of no joint force, this is Huangzhou's own development is not satisfactory, although Huangzhou has produced so many talents, their cooperation outside There are also rare classics.This speculation may not be taken seriously by Huangzhou people, but it can be put forward for Huangzhou people to think about.

Now when I interview some people in Huangzhou, they will still admit that they have used fried soybeans as snacks since they were young, and put them in specially sewn pockets. Throw them into your mouth one by one, and chew on the bean fragrance.In the streets and alleys of Huangzhou, people who sell fried soybeans and fried peas can be seen everywhere, especially in the old streets. There are two clean old cloth bags containing ten catties and eight catties of fried soybeans and fried peas. Carefully roll it over, revealing the fried beans with small cracks. There is a small scale next to it. Stir-fried soybeans are 3 yuan a catty, and fried peas are 2 yuan and 50 cents a catty. Stir-fried peas are cheaper than stir-fried soybeans.You can buy it by catty or two.

Huangzhou is located at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains, and the Yangtze River passes by the edge of the city. The famous Chibi in Huangzhou, known as Wen Chibi, is famous because Su Dongpo wrote "Nian Nujiao• Chibi Nostalgia" here, so it is called Wen Chibi .The name of the place in Huangzhou has been changed back and forth, and it has been called Huanggang for a long time. Now it is called Huanggang, and the city has a population of 7 million.Interestingly, there is a Jiangjun County and a Professor County under it. The Professor County is Qichun County, because the name of Huanggang Middle School is outside, which somewhat obscures the glory of Qichun County.There is a saying in the market that "no yellow, no teaching", that is, there are a lot of Huangzhou people who are teachers outside. Every university has professors from Huangzhou or Huanggang. In the old days, professors from Huangzhou taught during breaks. Occasionally, he took out a soybean from his trouser pocket and threw it into his mouth. The speed was extremely fast, and the movements were very free and easy. Chewing the soybean, the lecture was smooth and smooth. The students did not know what the teacher ate, but fried soybeans.
