Cctv news(Reporter wanglili): In less than 8 minutes on average, there will be a series of "iron dragons" full of goods whizzing by in the Jinci Tunnel in the southwest of Taiyuan, Shanxi.

As the throat passage of bulk cargo in Shanxi and train transportation between China and Europe, the southwest ring railway line has a total length of 53.64 kilometers, of which more than 20 kilometers are underground tunnels, which pass through many rivers and ditches, and silt and garbage often block drainage ditches.

During Spring Festival travel rush, a group of railway "scavengers" worked in the underground tunnel. They walk 6 kilometers every day, wading through the cold sewage, discharging silt and dredging, and guarding the operation safety of freight trains from south to north.

Martin and his eight workmates, who work in the bridge and tunnel workshop of Taiyuan Works Section of China Railway Taiyuan Bureau, undertake the daily drainage and dredging work of Jinci Tunnel. Walking along the tunnel for a few minutes, experienced Martin stopped following the sound of running water, bent down and fell to the ground, uncovered the concrete cover plate of the drainage ditch next to the line with tools, leaned into the narrow drainage ditch and used a flashlight to check the situation inside.

"The mineral content of groundwater here is particularly high. Just like our kettle, the scale will accumulate thicker and thicker." Martin said that once there is a drainage blockage in the tunnel, if it is not cleaned in time, it will lead to flooding lines and affect driving safety.

Going on for tens of meters, there are sundries floating on the muddy sewage in the ditch, emitting a pungent smell. At this time, Zhang Ligang of the bridge and tunnel workshop of Taiyuan Works Section of China Railway Taiyuan Bureau skillfully put on plastic waterproof clothes, stepped into the sewage that had not passed the calf with his feet, and shoveled the mud into the woven bag with a shovel. When encountering a place that is difficult to dredge, he can only roll up his sleeves, bend down and curl up in a narrow space, and dig out with his hands.

Zhang Ligang said: "If you want to find the blocked drainage ditch in the tunnel, you can only lift the board piece by piece." Although they are all wearing waterproof clothes, biting sewage will still seep into their clothes, and their arms will be swollen and unconscious after a long time.

With the removal of silt and debris, the sewage level began to drop and the water flow resumed smoothly. After a deposition point was cleared, the workers continued to "patrol".

Due to the particularly high traffic density in the driveway, the time left for workers to work is very tight. In addition to racing against time to clear up silt, they also have to avoid speeding trains from time to time.

During their stay in Spring Festival travel rush, they walked 6 kilometers a day, bent over, dredged canals and removed silt, and cleaned up 36 places /15 cubic meters. This seemingly simple work content, everyone has to repeat it hundreds of times, they use a dirty suit, in exchange for the smooth drainage of the tunnel, to ensure the safety of the train.

　　Bangbangji, a dish that makes people’s index fingers move. Hanyang, an ancient town with lingering charm. Now, whether it is "Shancheng Bangbangji", "Chengdu Bangbangji" or "Leshan Bangbangji", it will be indicated that this dish originated in Hanyang Town on the Minjiang River in Qingshen County a hundred years ago.

　　Standing a hundred years later, we reread history and feel a kind of historical chance and coincidence. Hanyang is to Bangbangji or Bangbangji is to Hanyang, and the relationship between them has long been inseparable.

　　one

　　Sichuan cuisine "Bangbangji"

　　Named after the stick hitting the food.

　　When it comes to "bangbangji", many people know that it is one of the eight major cuisines in China — — A century-old famous dish in Sichuan cuisine. However, little is known about how "stick" and "chicken", two seemingly unrelated things, are related.

　　Looking through the historical materials, it is not difficult to know that before the appearance of bangbangji, there was a precedent in the cooking history of China to link bangbangji with food.

　　As early as more than 1,400 years ago, an agronomist named Jia Sixie wrote a famous book. In this comprehensive agricultural book named Qi Min Yao Shu, a delicious food made of wooden sticks was recorded in detail — — White breast. The method of preserved white meat is to choose lean meat of cattle, sheep, roe deer, not fat, cut it into pieces, soak it in cold water until the blood is clear, then put salt water and pepper powder into water to soak the meat, soak it for two nights and take it out to dry. When the meat is half dry and half wet, gently hit it with a wooden stick to make the meat firm.

　　As for the practice of "white breast", until the Tang Dynasty, some people relayed Jia Sixie’s records word for word when writing books. Today, this once-popular snack "Bai Fu" has faded out of people’s taste in the years, but its practice of hitting food with a stick always makes people involuntarily think of the delicious food that followed, which is also related to sticks — — "great chicken"

　　How did the great chicken get its name? Is it the same as white preserved fruit, which needs to hit the food gently with a stick before it is cooked, so it has something to do with "stick"? If both of them use the workflow of beating the food with a stick before cooking, then is it the same as the intention of white breast to make the meat firm?

　　At present, Shancheng Bangbangji, Leshan Bangbangji and Chengdu Bangbangji … … Many bangbangji with local names have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Where is the birthplace of bangbangji? What is the reason for this place’s great chicken to be famous?

　　This dish originated from the green god Hanyang.

　　A small town thriving on water.

　　In many books on Sichuan cuisine, whenever we mention "Shancheng Bangbangji", "Chengdu Bangbangji" or "Leshan Bangbangji", it will be noted that this dish originated from Hanyang Town on the Minjiang River in Qingshen County before the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As for why Bangbangji originated in a little-known town and why it became famous, there is no historical data to explain it exactly.

　　Out of Qingshen County, walk south along the Minjiang River. After about 20 kilometers, the river gradually narrows, and a small town with a rich and quaint style appears in front of you. As far as you can see, it is full of gray tiles and old closed wooden houses. Perhaps it is because the weather is too cold, there are few pedestrians on the road, and the town is a little lonely and depressed.

　　When I got off the bus and walked a few steps forward, I saw three or five elderly people in a teahouse by the road, and I vaguely heard a catchy folk proverb — — "Poor green spirit, rich Hanyang, want to play a Liujiachang … …” As far as the first six words are concerned, a series of questions inevitably come to mind: why does a small town want to be richer than the county? Why does it have such amazing confidence and pressure on Qingshen County? It turned out that this Hanyang town was originally an arc-shaped flat dam along the Minjiang River, and later it became a market town because of water, and it was beautiful for a long time in history because of a Millennium water pier in the town.

　　In the era of "it is difficult to get through the Shu Road, and it is difficult to get into the sky", the land traffic in Sichuan is blocked, and the Minjiang River waterway has naturally become an important mode of transportation to travel inside and outside Sichuan. When the merchant ships traveling between Chengdu and Leshan arrive at Pingba, they just catch up with the dusk and the night. In addition, Pingba has to pass through a steep gorge area of 3 kilometers to the south of Leshan. The walls in the gorge are towering, the rocks are numerous, and the rivers are circuitous. All merchant ships are shocked by its mystery. Pingba has an open terrain, which is convenient for boats to dock. It just caters to the needs of merchants and ships wandering on the Minjiang River water shipping line to find a place to rest and relieve the fatigue and burnout of a day’s travel.

　　Day after day, year after year, merchants’ ships docked at Pingba, which turned the ordinary Pingba into an important transit point on the waterway transportation trunk line between Chengdu and Leshan, and gradually evolved into a cargo distribution center for waterway transportation between Chengdu and Leshan. Shuttle boat Ge, raising sails and lowering sails, raising oars and collecting oars, people come and go, bustling, really lively.

　　By the Han Dynasty, Pingba had its own name. A family named Yiyang opened a shop in the dock near the river. Since then, the family’s business has flourished and the population has been strong, gradually forming a market town. Pingba became a market town because of the Yang surname in Han Dynasty, so it was slowly called Hanyang Town.

　　In the story of the old people, Hanyang is prosperous and rich. It is not difficult to see that in the impression of the older generation, Hanyang is not only a small town, but also a land of wealth.

　　Eating peanuts grows up and tastes delicious.

　　Hanyang chicken is as famous as "Yayu"

　　The old people said that Hanyang was born of water, and everything in Hanyang was born of water. There are three local products in Hanyang, which can be summarized by two folk proverbs — — "Hanyang peanuts Hanyang chicken, Hanyang Jiangtuan flies."

　　Hanyang is the export of Pingqiang Small Three Gorges, which is known as the "fish nest" and the hometown of Jiangtuan, a rare species. Jiangtuan is a good fish with tender meat and delicious taste. It is a pity that the Jiangtuan is becoming increasingly rare and endangered, and the scene of Jiangtuan being exported by air has long since disappeared.

　　However, Hanyang peanuts and Hanyang chickens have always been there. Hanyang is a delta region formed by the alluvial of Minjiang River, with soft soil, which is most suitable for planting peanuts. Peanuts planted in Hanyang Town are not only large in size, high in yield, but also delicious. When harvesting peanuts, there are always some residual peanuts scattered in the soil, and worms will grow after a period of time. At this time, Hanyang people always put their chickens into the ground and peck at peanuts and insects in the soil. Hanyang chicken is open in the wild, eating fresh peanuts, etc., and it is more shiny and bright, and its meat is more delicious. It is also this unique feeding method that makes Hanyang Chicken quite famous, thus leaving the good name of "Hanyang Chicken with Jia Rotten Yayu".

　　The raw materials used in Bangbangji are carefully selected from these Hanyang chickens. In a restaurant featuring bangbangji in Hanyang Town, juniper and cypress are slowly cleaning the tools for making bangbangji in the kitchen. As early as the forties and fifties of last century, his grandmother had been cooking a great chicken in the town, and she had been familiar with it since she was a child.

　　Juniper said that the most critical link in making a great chicken is to choose the ingredients. The meat of Hanyang chicken is tender and plump, which is the main reason why Hanyang bangbang chicken is the most popular. Among the many Hanyang chickens, the local cock over seven or eight months old is the best raw material.

　　The production method of bangbangji is very particular and has no skill. Slaughter the rooster, remove its hair, viscera and wash it. Wrap the legs and wings with hemp rope, punch holes with bamboo sticks where the meat is thick, put it in a boiling water pot and cook it slowly for a quarter of an hour with slow fire, and add half a scoop of cold water. When the water boils again, turn the chicken over and cook for about 10 minutes, then add half a scoop of cold water. When the water is boiled, turn it over, pierce the chicken with a small bamboo thorn, pick it up when there are no blood beads, soak it in cold boiled water for 1 hour, and take it out to dry. Slaughter the head of the chicken, neck, wings, chest and back in different parts, cut the head of the chicken into two pieces, and gently tap the back of the knife with a special wooden stick to cut the rest. When eating, mix red pepper, sesame powder, pepper powder, sesame oil, Tricholoma, soy sauce, sugar, chopped green onion, monosodium glutamate, etc. into juice, and then dip it in.

　　It is Hanyang Bangbangji, a special dish, that attracts tourists from both inside and outside the province. Most of them come from Chengdu, Leshan, Ya ‘an and other surrounding areas, but many of them come from Beijing and even foreign countries.

　　Chicken sold at the water pier

　　Eating with relish and leaving with love.

　　"Bangbang" and "Chicken" seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are closely linked because of the cooking technology of this delicious food. So, for what purpose, do you have to beat chicken with a stick? How is it different from the practice of beating the white breast with a stick?

　　Lei Guangqian, director of the Party and Government Office of Hanyang Town, explained the ins and outs of Hanyang Bangbang Chicken.

　　As early as when the land traffic was underdeveloped, the traffic in Sichuan mainly depended on water transportation, and Minjiang River was an important waterway in Sichuan. From Chengdu to Leshan, Hanyang Town has always been an important transit point. Every day, ships come and go in an endless stream, and boatmen and pedestrians are bustling. Because of the large flow of people, there are some people with more economic minds who have set up a way in Hanyang’s water wharf — — Selling snacks to passing ships and pedestrians.

　　What are you selling? Of course, it is a local specialty of Hanyang, and the cost is low. As a result, vendors began to sell chicken to ships, and each person could sell several chickens every day. Chicken is slaughtered into small pieces and put in a bowl. The bowl is filled with seasoning juice and soaked with chicken. Every time a guest eats a piece, a piece is recorded. After eating, the money is calculated according to the number of pieces of chicken eaten. Since the price is calculated by the block, it is necessary for vendors to cut the chicken evenly. In order to cut the chicken pieces evenly, the vendors came up with a way, that is, aim the knife edge at the chicken body position, and then hit the back of the knife with a special stick. Later, Hanyang chicken nuggets were also called "great chicken".

　　For those pedestrians who are tired of traveling by boat, Hanyang chicken, which grew up eating peanuts on Hanyang Dam, is tender and delicious, and it is spicy and spicy, so they all love it and leave it. However, things born of water, without water, are doomed to be unsustainable. After the completion of the highway from Chengdu to Leshan, the water shipping in Chengle gradually became depressed, and the reputation of Hanyang as a "great chicken" gradually cooled down.

　　Today, in Chengdu, Leshan, Chongqing and other places, Bangbangji presents a prosperous scene of "blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees". In order to make it taste better, caterers constantly transform it, and the pricing method is no longer priced by pieces, but by the number of shredded chicken. It is no longer necessary to beat the back of the knife with a stick and cut it into pieces, but there are still some restaurants that, in pursuit of the unique taste of hand-torn chicken, pat the chicken loose with a wooden stick after cooking it. Although this beating has changed the original way, it is still called "stick chicken".

On November 25th, Beijing time, on the last match day of the first round of the World Cup group match, Switzerland, Portugal and Brazil won, while South Korea drew 0-0 with Uruguay.

Switzerland 1-0 Cameroon

Embolo scored in the first three minutes of the second half, but he refused to celebrate because Cameroon was his country of birth. In the end, his goal helped Switzerland beat Cameroon 1-0 and made a good start. In the history of the World Cup, Switzerland won all the African teams twice, after they beat Togo 2-0 in the 2006 World Cup group match. At the same time, Switzerland has also continued its unbeaten record in the first round of the last six World Cups (3 wins and 3 draws). The last time they lost in the first round of the World Cup, they lost to Germany 0-5 in 1966, and it has been 56 years since then.

Brazil 2-0 Serbia

Richard Lisson scored twice, which finally helped Brazil beat Serbia 2-0, and continued the unbeaten record of the team’s last 16 World Cup group matches (13 wins and 3 draws) while winning three games against Serbia. This is also their eight-game winning streak in recent competitions.

Korea 0-0 Uruguay

The left column rejected Godin’s and valverde’s shots, and in the near stoppage time, Sun Xingyi missed the winner with a long shot outside the restricted area. In the end, South Korea drew 0-0 with Uruguay and scored 1 point.

Portugal 3-2 Ghana

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal with a penalty and became the first player in history to score in five consecutive World Cups. Then Felix and Leo each scored a goal, which finally helped Portugal beat Ghana 3-2 and won the first victory in the first battle of the last four World Cups.

Original old artist jiuhang

When it comes to "pineapple", Cantonese people will definitely think of Xu Wen.

Isn’t it? Old artists have also written about Zhanjiang County, occupying the title of "the first pineapple county in China" with a 370,000-mu "pineapple sea". But Guangdong has always been a "big pineapple producer". Besides Xuwen, the largest pineapple production base in the country, sweeter pineapples are hidden in the depths of the county, such as Zhongshan Shenwan.

Compared with the famous Xuwen pineapple, the old artist thinks it is the pineapple in the town that is more worth digging. It is a pity that they are sweet, crisp and slag-free, but they are silent and unknown, hidden under the "pineapple sea"

In Twelve Fronts, Shenwan pineapple in Zhongshan is called "the most rich sweetness". Pineapple is a kind of fruit that can be described as "love and hate" for old artists. What they love is sweetness, and what they hate is that if they eat too much, they will get numb, which is commonly known as "damp heat" in Guangdong. However, Shenwan pineapple is actually called "no need to soak in salt water", sweet and residue-free, and all that is left is the fruit handle, so my spirits come.

Why don’t you go and meet this legendary pineapple yourself?

Shenwan pineapple is absolutely sweet.

Compared with Xuwen, Shenwan pineapple, which grows on the zhongshan town, is much less famous. Not to mention mainlanders, even Cantonese people only know that there are squab, crispy meat carp and Xiaolan chrysanthemum banquet in Zhongshan, but they don’t know that there is Shenwan pineapple.

It’s no wonder that they, after all, Shenwan, a mysterious town, is very remote. Open the map of Zhongshan, and you will find that it is located in the south of Zhongshan City, bordering Modaomen Waterway in the west, and the Xijiang River estuary is just one foot away from tanzhou town to Zhuhai. However, it is precisely because of the geographical characteristics of being close to the estuary, sandy soil and strong sunshine that the old artists are more curious about Shenwan pineapple.

After entering the town, I saw several pineapple stalls without accident, which really deserves to be called "pineapple town".

△ Pineapple stalls can be seen everywhere on Zhongshan shenwan town. /Author for the picture

Although May is not the best time for pineapples, the air in shenwan town still smells sweet of pineapples. For pineapple, a fruit with a long growth cycle (1.5-2 years), local people will plant it in different seasons to ensure that it can be produced all year round.

Shenwan town faces the sea with its back to the mountain, but Yaji Mountain, which is only 300-400 meters above sea level, is the most important pineapple planting area. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, all kinds of pineapples are densely planted.

The old artist found that no matter in front of the house, on the flat or on the hillside, it can be a place for people in Shenwan to grow pineapples. "The best pineapples grow on the hillside." The farm owner told the old artist, "Although pineapples look ordinary, they are very delicate, and they are only made twice in three years. It takes at least one and a half years for each pineapple to grow to maturity. If you want to taste delicious, you need slope, water, soil and light conditions, but they grow on the mountain.

According to the boss, the pineapple in Yaji Mountain looks rough and yellow, but it is rich in iron. Coupled with the spring water from Yaji Mountain, Shenwan pineapple is so sweet.

△ Pineapples growing on Yaji Mountain. /Author for the picture

If you want to eat sweet pineapple, the more golden the fruit looks, the better. According to tourists from Zhongshan City, in May every year, even the green skin of Shenwan pineapple is sweet, and the sweet smell of pineapple at home can float all over the room. Although pineapples are produced all year round, the best ones are only from May to September.

With aunt’s skillful knife cutting, a complete Shenwan pineapple has been placed in front of us. Just looking at the pineapple with its coat off, you can’t see any difference between the pineapples you eat in peacetime, but before it is served, the smell of pineapple that has poured into your nose tells you that there is something really.

"Soak the pineapple in salt water before eating", which is completely ineffective in front of Shenwan pineapple. It doesn’t even need a bamboo stick. Just grab the small fruit handle and bite it. Oh, my mouth is like a pineapple-flavored perfume, which is sweet to my heart.

△ Shenwan pineapple, ready to eat with the handle.

The boss listened to my compliment, but his face was saddened: "If you had come two months earlier, it would have been so sweet that it could hardly be described." Although I can’t eat the pineapple in May, that bite just now is still the best pineapple that the old artist has eaten this summer.

There are 16 words commonly used in the outside world to summarize the characteristics of Shenwan pineapple: golden flesh, sweet and juicy, rich in honey, crisp and slag-free. Old artists still feel that it is not accurate enough. In Cantonese, it is said that "pineapple tastes like pineapple". Only after eating Shenwan pineapple do you know that this sentence is the highest praise. From the sense of smell, it is rich and fragrant enough, the entrance is sweet, without a trace of acidity, and the juice is full but will not overflow. You can always eat the fruit stalk from the tail without any numbness.

With the pineapple, the town finally appeared.

From "relying on water to draft" to "relying on mountains to eat mountains"

If it weren’t for pineapples, people might know nothing about Shenwan. Indeed, it is just one of the 15 towns under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan, and even Zhongshan locals may "only hear its voice, but not its appearance."

However, it is indeed possible that Shenwan is "blessed by God". It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Modaomen Waterway (the mouth of Xijiang River) in the west, with mountains, water and flat land each accounting for one third. It has two islands in the center of the river, Modaodao Island and Zhupai Island. Such a geographical environment is destined to be a natural harbor. According to legend, the place used to be hit by typhoons, and only the ships sheltered here were safe and sound. The boat people thought that there was a god’s shelter, so they built a temple to worship it and called it "Shenwan", which has been used since the town was built.

△ Overlooking Shenwan from Yaji Mountain, mountain, water and flat land each account for one third. /worm

Before planting pineapples, people in Shenwan lived on water. The population of shenwan town is mainly composed of Guangfu people, Hakkas and Yi people. Guangfu people live on the flat land, Hakkas live at the foot of Yaji Mountain, and Yi people live along the Modaomen Waterway. Because it is located at the junction of salt and fresh water at the mouth of the Pearl River, the fishery in Shenwan is very rich. The villagers were born in rivers and seas and lived in boats. Their unique living space closely linked their lives with rivers and seas.

One of the characteristics is that people in Shenwan eat rice worms. The insects in Shenwan are a must in Guangdong, and Qu Dajun recorded in "Guangdong New Talk" that "in summer, when it rains, the insects are born by steaming in the grain … The mature insects in first frost are also ripe. On the twelfth and sixteenth days of the first lunar month, they broke out in the spring tide and floated on the fields. If you take it from the net, the vinegar will be white pulp, filtered with white rice bran and steamed into paste, which will be sweet and beneficial to people and cover the essence of rice. " In the eyes of Shenwan people, insects are plump and rich in protein. No matter whether they are fried with ginger and scallion or baked with rice, they are local specialties.

You know, insects have high requirements for the environment. Nowadays, in the Pearl River Delta, only Zhongshan Shenwan and some beaches in Tanzhou, Zhuhai Doumen and Jiangmen Xinhui can produce insects. It is conceivable how high the soil and water in Shenwan are, and Shenwan people also take "relying on water to draft" to the extreme.

△ There are fewer and fewer beaches in the Pearl River Delta that can produce grass insects. /worm

△ Shenwan Potted Rice Worm.

But don’t forget, water only accounts for one third of Shenwan, and there is another third, mountains.

Yaji Mountain, which is only 300-400 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in shenwan town. Because it looks like a bun on a girl’s head from a distance, it is named "Yaji Mountain". This was an ordinary mountain. It was not until 1915 that Li Guohan, who lived in Peru, brought back a pineapple seed, which made Shenwan, in addition to "relying on water to eat water", have to add a "relying on mountains to eat mountains".

No one could have imagined that the sandy soil mixed with red and yellow in Yaji Mountain turned out to be a good hand in planting pineapples. In the 1920s, Li Guohan planted a new kind of pineapple on the back of the old village at the foot of Yaji Mountain, and with the blessing of mountain spring water, slope and sunshine, the pineapple planted here was extremely sweet, crisp and slag-free. Since then, almost every household in Shenwan has planted pineapples. Today, nearly 3,600 acres of pineapples have grown in this 60.9 square kilometer land in Shenwan.

△ From "relying on water to draft" to "relying on mountains to eat mountains". /worm

The owner of the self-tour farm told the old artist: "In the best time, you can produce 1,500-1,800 pineapples per mu on the sloping land and 3,000-4,000 pineapples per mu on the flat land. After picking pineapples, tourists can also carry out a series of activities such as making pineapple bags and squeezing pineapple juice. "

People in Shenwan are undoubtedly lucky. From "eating by water" (insects) to "relying on mountains" (pineapples), the "mountain and river culture" of Shenwan can best be reflected in this point.

"Hey, a dish of pineapple fried rice."

Pineapple has been rooted in the DNA of Shenwan people, and their lives are inseparable from pineapples of all sizes. In addition to raw food, Shenwan pineapple is also very suitable for cooking, because it is sweet enough and the taste will not be sour. The knowledgeable Cantonese chef will use Shenwan pineapple.

In "Twelve Flavors", Nicholas Tse made a "pineapple and sweet meat" with Shenwan pineapple, which may be a classic dish that every grandmother in Guangdong must master.

△ pineapple meat.

"Sweet and sour pineapple meat" is known as the "rice killer" with its crisp taste. Only those who have eaten it know how hard it is to stop. Dice the pineapple and pork tenderloin, cut the green pepper into pieces for later use, wrap the pork tenderloin with egg white, roll the flour, put it in a hot oil pan, fry it until it turns golden and discolored, take it out, mix a sweet and sour juice, evenly wrap each piece of sweet and sour meat, and finally add the pineapple and green pepper pieces to stir fry together. The sweet and sour fragrance rushes to the tip of the nose, and the mouth is crisp, and the pineapple bite is neither greasy nor "heavy", but it feels like lightness.

Pineapple is not only a pair of "matchmakers" with pork, but also with chicken, duck and beef. The sweetness and sourness of pineapple can just bring out the "freshness" in chicken and duck. Shenwan pineapple chicken and sliced duck with pineapple sauce are even more "interesting".

△ pineapple beef skewers.

But as a city that knows how to eat, how can the old masters in Zhongshan fall into a pattern? Yes, they can also combine pineapple and crispy pomfret to make "crispy pomfret fish balls" and "Shenwan pineapple crispy pomfret". This group of people really only need to put "Zhongshan special" on the public screen.

Unexpectedly, it seems that the two combinations with wide brain holes can really collide with different sparks. "Crispy fish ball" can be regarded as an upgraded version of pine nut fish. First, the crisp fish ball is fried to crisp, and then it is paired with pineapple. When you bite it in one bite, the fish meat is both soft and sour, and it tastes sour and sweet. It is served in half a pineapple, and your index finger moves when you look at it.

△ pineapple+crispy pomfret.

But for supper, the most soothing thing is a dish of "pineapple fried rice". Prepare half a pineapple, dig out the pineapple meat, leave the shell for later use, and then add favorite ingredients such as shrimp, diced meat, eggs, etc. The fried rice out of the pot is clear and golden and attractive, and then put it into half a pineapple shell with the same color, which is a must in terms of flavor and vision.

In Shenwan, pineapples can be made into dessert snacks in addition to cooking. For example, Shenwan pineapple bag, Shenwan pineapple layer cake, Shenwan pineapple egg, Shenwan pineapple octopus ball, Shenwan pineapple ice …

A pineapple bag with a pineapple is normal in Shenwan. If you meet a freshly baked pineapple bag, and the hot crispy skin bites down, the mouth is full of sweet pineapple granules, which is called "the fairy is hard to return" delicious.

Although the town of Shenwan is unremarkable, there are pineapples in summer and grasses in autumn, which is definitely a "comfortable town on the tip of the tongue". In order to eat pineapple, it’s not a problem to drive, but it’s better to be in May next year.
