After bidding farewell to everyone and resting at his home for the night, Ye Gui continued on his way to explore the store early the next morning.
"The next place we are going to is Heyu Province, which has the largest population in Daxia!"
"Heyu is known as 'the hinterland of Kyushu and the thoroughfare of ten provinces'. It is an important comprehensive transportation hub and a center for people, logistics and information flow in the country. Heyu is located in the middle of the world and is the core area of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasty civilization. From Yan to Huang
five
The legends and relics of the emperors, as well as the cities of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, are all in the Heluo area centered on Luoyang and fed by the Yellow River Luohe. In history, more than 200 emperors from more than 20 dynasties established their capitals in Henan.
.”
"And because there are many plains here, spanning the four major river basins of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, and the Yangtze River. Most of them are located in the warm temperate zone, and the south is across the subtropical zone. It has a continental monsoon climate that transitions from the northern subtropical zone to the warm temperate zone, so the food production here is also
Very rich!”
"Henan cuisine, also known as Henan cuisine, is the Central Plains or Henan cuisine. It is a collection of dishes, pastries and banquets made under the guidance of cooking theories with the traditional cultural connotations of the Central Plains and using techniques and materials with the regional characteristics of the Central Plains.
The general name of.”
"Contemporary Henan cuisine is based on the original palace cuisine, government cuisine, market cuisine and folk cuisine, and is developed through gradual accumulation and evolution based on the material conditions of the Central Plains."
"Henan cuisine is a traditional Henan cuisine system represented by Kaifeng, which has gradually evolved into a new Henan cuisine system centered on the provincial capital Zhengzhou. Henan cuisine is centered on Zhengzhou and consists of four different taste areas. The taste of eastern Henan is in the middle.
Adhering to tradition, grilled dishes are for
Typical, Kaifeng is the representative; Western Henan is represented by Luoyang, with water mats as the typical flavor, and the taste is slightly sour; Southern Henan is represented by Xinyang, the stew is more typical, and the taste is slightly spicy; Northern Henan is represented by Xinxiang and Anyang
, make good use of local products, the taste is strong.”
Ye Gui's words made Luoyang's water friends excited: "My water banquet, I love water banquet, the water banquet is particularly delicious!"
"I, the stew is the most delicious!"
"Then I like souvenirs!"
Everyone was talking one after another, not knowing how happy they were.
Ye Gui laughed: "Actually, every place has its own characteristics, but when it comes to Henan cuisine, I have to mention one word, and that is Zhonghe!"
"The harmony of this is not the harmony of that, but it is the most common word for our Daxia cuisine!"
"Zhong means that Henan cuisine is neither east nor west, nor south nor north, but is located between east, west, and north. It is not sweet, not salty, not spicy, not sour, and seeks to be in the middle between sweet, salty, sour, and spicy.
To be flat, seek to be bland. Harmony means to melt east, west, north, and south into one, to be unified, to melt sweet, salty, sour, and spicy into one cauldron and seek one taste, and seek one harmony."
"Speaking of Zhonghe, I have to mention another character, Yi Yin!"
"I won't go into a brief summary of his political achievements, but in addition to his political achievements, he is also a very good chef. He created the theory of five-flavor blending 3,600 years ago. Henan cuisine has taken advantage of the location of Zhongzhou to this day.
Get the Four Seasons
When the weather is right, the cauldron is blended, the five flavors are blended, and thousands of dishes are prepared with dozens of techniques. The varieties and techniques have spread all over China, and the delicious food is popular among the people. The taste of Henan cuisine is in the middle, and it combines the strengths of other families and has the characteristics of both the north and the south. "
“So he is also considered the founder of Henan cuisine!”
Under Ye Gui's introduction, everyone finally understood a three-dimensional Henan cuisine.
There is no Henan cuisine among the eight major cuisines, but this does not hinder the status of Henan cuisine in the catering industry of Daxia.
Even saying "grand master" is not something to be afraid of.
"In terms of cooking techniques, Henan cuisine is characterized by rigorous selection of ingredients, fine knife skills, emphasis on soup making, and moderate texture and flavor. There are more than 50 cooking methods for Henan cuisine.
Grilled, grilled, deep-fried, stir-fried, stir-fried, and stir-fried are all unique. Among them, grilled vegetables are even more unique, and are known as "grilled vegetables are not thickened, but the soup is sticky". In addition, Heyu is often used when stir-frying vegetables.
Fire, hot pan and cool oil, quick operation, crisp and tender texture, milky white color.
Today's Henan cuisine has not lost its tradition, but is particularly innovative. It selects ingredients from all directions, is uniquely prepared, and is made with meticulous care. It is very good at using soup to blend the five flavors to a moderate degree. Regardless of whether it is dry, fresh, old or tender, it is fried and stir-fried to bring out the color and aroma.
, shape, and utensils, they are harmonious to please diners from all over the world. Therefore, Henan cuisine is not fashionable, not impetuous, does not show off its splendor for a while, but is mellow and peaceful to last for thousands of years.
From the three soups, five soups, and eight treasures of the Zhou Dynasty in the Shang Dynasty, the banquets and plain banquets in the east and west cities of Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the palace shops in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is now Kaifeng, are all beautiful and beautiful.
"For thousands of years, Henan's famous dishes have been star-studded and decorated everywhere. The ancient charm of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the legacy of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the unique song of Bianjing are still strongly reflected in many famous products."
"Okay, I guess you won't be able to understand it after saying so much, so let's go and see it with our own eyes!"
