Speaking of Lingnan cuisine, my trip to Jiangmen last February left a deep impression on me.

At that time, I participated in the topic selection demonstration of a program. Kaiping under Jiangmen left 1800 rural buildings in the early years of the Republic of China-watchtowers. We accompanied the director of this film-the famous alcoholic Lao Wei I mentioned earlier-to see the location here. Time was plentiful, and my delicious little heart began to jump, so I sent a short message to Shen Laoda, who still lives in Guangzhou: "I am in Jiangmen, and my local name is Gangmen. Please give me a dietary guide. " Five minutes later, Boss Shen called back: "Eat eel rice first, then roast goose." And attached the address.

There must always be a few such friends in your life. Whether you are at the crossroads of life or diet and hesitate, he will tell you how to turn and how to move forward. Like this, leading the way for the imperial army, boss Shen has done it several times, and every time it is very successful. Boss Shen, you are a lighthouse, shining on restaurants before dawn.

Monopterus albus rice is the most famous diet in Jiangmen, which can be compared with clay pot rice in Guangzhou, rice noodles in Guilin, wonton soup in Chengdu and small noodles in Chongqing. There are not many comments here, but the roast goose in Gujing Town is really impressive. Gu Jing Town is at the southern end of Xinhui. Besides the famous Yamen Castle and the former residence of Liang Qichao, Xinhui is the most famous roast goose in Gu Jing. Numerous people who do diet research believe that this is the birthplace of roast goose in Shenjing, Hong Kong. Jiangmen's overflowing population has been overseas for hundreds of years, so the local diet has also become the mainstream of Hong Kong's civilian diet.

The boss who eats roast goose in this restaurant is the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Gujing Town, surnamed Chen, so the roast goose here is also called secretary roast goose. Chen can't speak Mandarin well, especially when it comes to Beijing roast duck. In those days, someone brought back soft Quanjude duck from Beijing, and Chen chopped it up and drank it, so he was full of sympathy for the people of Beijing. Chen was so excited that he couldn't even sort out Chinese characters: "Our roast goose ... is absolutely not allowed to be sold to guests ... for a long time. The roast goose ... if it is not sold within four hours ... it will be thrown into the ... sewage bucket. " As soon as the voice fell, the secretary roasted the goose and served it, killing all our three tables at once. The goose skin was thin and crisp, and the goose meat was tender and juicy, and everyone in the room ate it. I even wrote it on my face with a smile and hummed a theme song of "Blood Suspicion". Thank you, boss Shen!

This family also has a very unique staple food (the name seems to be called four treasures rice? ), soak the glutinous rice in soy sauce water, take it out one day later, stir-fry it gently with slow fire and lard-rarely drain the water with a small spoon and cover it in the process of stir-frying-this is obviously a manual operation, so after twenty minutes, a pot of glittering brown glutinous rice is out of the pot. When this staple food was served, 90% people were very sorry, because everyone was too full to eat anything. However, my family is happy, my forefinger is moving, I eat a lot, and I keep dressing and eating. After a few bowls, I won't say anything, so as not to scare you. ...

I went to Jiangmen for the second time on New Year's Day this year to "seal the mirror" for Lao Wei's documentary. The documentary about Diaolou was later filmed in Exploration and Discovery, and Lao Wei worked hard. The seven episodes of the film took a whole year, including three months in Jiangmen. In recognition of his efforts, he decided to hold a mirror-sealing ceremony at the post gate. I guess it has something to do with this film and became a mirror-sealing guest.

In the past year, Lao Wei has carefully studied this Chinese-Western architecture. In the words of local leaders, he is now a veritable "unruly". Wei Diaomin is very familiar with the local tourism department and cultural relics department, and has a bunch of friends similar to Diao Xiaosan. As a result, a group of people attending the mirror-sealing ceremony drank revolutionary wine every day in Kaiping (a place where hanging buildings are concentrated, one hour away from Jiangmen), and accompanied by a large number of accompanying people, they ate air-conditioned carpet turntable tables every day.

It is my accumulated experience for many years that the reception standard is high and you can't eat delicious food.

There is only a short half-day left to go to Jiangmen, to be exact, it is just a lunch. Send a text message to Mr. Shen immediately: "Jiangmen again, time is pressing, please guide quickly." Now, Lao Shen has lived in Shanghai, and he has been more and more influenced by colonial food culture. Although the magazine he runs is called "World Food", it is also a very small and high-end magazine. Half an hour later, Lao Shen called back: "Just eat the worm." So we found a restaurant with fresh roasted chicken eggs.

Although I heard from Cai Lan that many Hong Kong people are willing to come back to the Pearl River Delta just to eat insects, at this time, we have been tortured by the continuous rush, and this trip, Shenzhen-Kaiping-Jiangmen-Guangzhou, alas, is worthy of the name of "drawing a circle on the South China Sea of China". When the baked eggs are served, except for the furry insects inside, some of them are ugly, and there is no delicious reaction in taste. Because there are frequent traffic jams in expressway, I ate worms and rushed to Guangzhou. When I arrived at the airport, I found that there were still four hours to take off, which was boring.

This reminds me of what my guiding light boss Shen said. The premise of all delicious food is hunger and peace.

Send another message to Lao Shen! "Does the new Baiyun Airport, which is known as the number one in Asia, have a dietary guide?" This time, Lao Shen quickly replied with a message: "Is it too unpopular?" Boss! "
