When we first arrived in Hebei, apart from the endless North China Plain, the local friends who were in charge of receiving us praised Zhao Yan's food from time to time. As a newcomer in unknown so, you can only let the locals talk big. In fact, the more we highly recommend it, the more we believe it. Since Song of Xiao resounded passionately in Zhao Yan, this ancient land has been regarded as an elegy place by the world. The so-called "Zhao Yan is so generous and sad" and "Hebei people are so loyal" is the best footnote. Perhaps heroes are more unruly and careless, so they always come and go without worrying about exquisite dishes; What's more, the warriors in people's hearts are often riding horses and running around with whips, so they always forget the daily necessities. Only heroes are their true colors, and those who love themselves are real celebrities. If heroes and celebrities are as diligent in food technology as chefs, too many fireworks may make their images plummet. And the fact, as I guessed, was brutally fulfilled in three meals a day. Mortals worry about everything, but heroes worry a lot. The hero's heart is often as gloomy as us ordinary people, but in the face of the lingering haze in his heart, Cao Mengde has long said, "Du Kang is the only solution." . What impressed me most about Hebei people's love for wine was the first three glasses of wine. According to the local people, this "pure man" practice has been extended to the whole North China Plain. Drips are mellow, which shows the hospitality and generosity of northerners. And I grew up in a land of plenty. For me, although I have often encountered wine since I was a child, the amount of helplessness is not good, so every time I raise my glass, I can't help but be short of breath. After three glasses of wine, I dare not boast that I have drunk three rounds, because this is only the beginning of Hebei banquet. Next is the delicious food that the local people relish, and it is also the link that we are most willing to share after a long journey. False advertisements have been pervasive in our lives, and they have been put on our table just like pork mixed with water. Describing the food that local people are proud of may hurt feelings. However, we have come all the way from Qian Shan, and it is really hard for us to appreciate the essence of Hebei cuisine with an empty stomach. Maybe the north and south are different, and the flavor is different; It may be that our local friends over-publicized, which made us expect too much. Of course, it is also possible that we are picky about everything and our tastes are too picky. As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water raises one side, which makes me disapprove of Hebei cuisine and suddenly has the most reasonable annotation. Because of my roots and because I was born and raised in Sri Lanka, I have always selfishly thought that Xinyang cuisine in my hometown is my favorite. The exquisiteness and delicacy of Xinyang has always been accompanied by the fragrance of Xinyang Maojian tea, which has made the world full of praise. No matter where I go, Xinyang Maojian tea has become an irreplaceable hometown business card. As long as I can easily show off and casually name Xinyang Maojian Tea, almost everyone seems to stop in the beautiful Xinyang to enjoy the beautiful scenery there, and a gentle "Oh" word seems to evoke endless good memories. Xinyang Maojian tea has made Xinyang a paradise of tea fragrance, and here, there is a fascinating summer resort-Jigong Mountain. As early as modern times, several foreign missionaries built houses in secluded places on the mountains, picked chrysanthemums and enjoyed fairyland. Later, more and more people came here and even made long-term plans to build private villas. Therefore, Jigongshan now has a beautiful scenery and a reputation as an international architectural exposition. Every place has its own unique landscape, including Jigong Mountain in Xinyang and Yepo in Hebei. China's land and scenery are different from the four seasons. Looking around, great rivers and mountains are everywhere. Mountains and rivers have their own style. No matter guests and friends from all corners of the country, they can climb high and look far, and get the moon first by being close to the water. It's just that diet has deep-rooted preferences because of different personal tastes. The charm of Xinyang Maojian tea makes the wanderers in the distance feel like they are in the misty world of tea no matter where they are. The unparalleled architecture and enchanting beauty of Jigong Mountain have made me travel all over Shan Ye, and I always feel that the scenery here is unique. The delicious Xinyang cuisine makes it difficult for me to indulge in the hospitality of the host in Hebei, and miss its charm alone. It is precisely because of this that I started a dream of gluttony in my heart, in Han, regardless of being far away from home. Compared with Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine, Xinyang cuisine is reserved, does not seek to be famous at home and abroad, and is only enjoyed by hometown people, making distant guests linger. Today, all major cuisines are vying for the market, and Xinyang cuisine is just blooming everywhere in the Central Plains. Because of its strong regionality and connection with hometown, its flavor is unique and unchangeable. Wherever Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot goes, it has to undergo painful transformation, even beyond recognition, losing its true colors, making people feel that the taste is erratic and unpredictable, and it is inevitable to be confused while enjoying the food. Xinyang cuisine is permeated with the gentle folk customs of the Central Plains. Consistent concept, Xinyang cuisine is based on hometown and serves hometown. Whether serving the children of the Central Plains or entertaining distinguished guests from afar, customers' physical and mental pleasure and full-hearted enjoyment are the supreme purpose that will never change. Xinyang cuisine tastes moderate, absorbs the essence of China traditional culture, and is the perfect display of Confucian golden mean in cooking. Fine but not greasy, clear but not light, soup and vegetables, soup and vegetables together, contained in the mouth, suddenly feel the essence of the north and south of the country, all corners of the country, the world delicious in it. Compared with the sweetness of western cuisine, the blandness of Cantonese cuisine and the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine, Xinyang cuisine does not go to extremes, creating a supreme neutral state in slow stew. The taste is gone, just like tasting a colorful life. The color is not dazzling, and the rules are orderly. No resentment, no anger, no anger, and the philosophy of great wisdom and great realm shines in it. Change with constancy, say constancy, but transform the universe into thousands of delicacies. It is full of tradition and new style, flexible and calm. Xinyang cuisine, taste the mentality of the wise, carry forward the past and forge ahead. No wonder the exquisite Hebei cuisine, in my subconscious, finally bowed its head despite the hype of the host.
