What are the hometown dishes in Pingnan? How come? What are the characteristics?

We looked at the scenery on both sides of the road and admired the function of expressway, which is a symbol of modernization. We traveled thousands of kilometers and only walked seven or eight hours to Xiamen. After visiting Gulangyu Island and Jinmen Island in Xiamen, we came to Fuzhou. When we asked at the West Lake Hotel, the room was over 700 per night, which was not suitable for our consumption habits, so we asked the nearby West Lake Hotel, and we stayed as long as 1 70 per night. I had breakfast the next morning and set off for the mountains in the northern forest area of Fuzhou. I heard that the reservoir is there. There is an old saying: "The Tao is in the mouth." We asked the people on the mountain, but we didn't know where Gutian was, let alone where Gan moved to. Finally, a village Committee cadre said, "Why don't you ask the police station at the foot of the mountain? Maybe they know better. " Let's go to the police station and ask questions. There happened to be a comrade on duty from Gutian. He enthusiastically told us that the Gutian we were looking for belonged to a fellow villager in Shiyi, Fuzhou, and his nephew was more than 0/00 kilometers north of Fuzhou, not in the reservoir of Fuzhou. The original site is now Gutian Reservoir. He also said that there was no village called Gan in Gutian. It is said that there is a village called Gan in Pingnan County, more than 100 miles north of Gutian (later we found that Gutian really built a reservoir in situ, and now Gutian is a new county). He also said that to go to Pingnan, you have to go to Gutian first. Since you think you are from Gutian, go to Gutian first, and then go to Pingnan. After getting this exact news, we decided that the women and children would stay in Fuzhou for sightseeing, and the three of them would drive to Gutian to find it, and then make plans.

The next day, our father and son went straight to Gutian. Fuzhou food is not to our taste. On the contrary, the side dishes such as Minjiang fish and local dried bamboo shoots in the roadside snack bar on our way to Gutian are very fresh and delicious. It can remind us that when we are in Guangdong, the dishes and snacks in our hometown (such as steamed meat, red dates, rice cakes, etc. ) My aunt and other old people cooked delicious food. I was just a 10-year-old child chasing after the right. If I am over 60 years old, it will be unforgettable.

I walked along the banks of the winding Minjiang River for two or three hours, went up and down the mountain, asked for directions countless times, and finally arrived at Gutian. Although Gutian said that there are no straight streets and tall buildings in small towns in Guangdong, there are shopping malls, entertainment, hospitals, squares, bookstores and restaurants. The houses of government agencies are also good. Although the streets are narrow, the mountain city is full of characteristics, and one street is higher than the other. Hierarchical, many houses are built on the mountain, which is particularly beautiful under the sunlight. Our father and son parked their cars on the side of the road, looking for someone to ask, but although they returned to their hometown-Gutian, they were "friendless" and could not understand the local dialect at all. What shall we do or go to the police station? Even if they don't know, they won't lie to us. When we walked into the Chengguan police station, we met a comrade named Li, who was in the household registration department. He listened patiently to our Mandarin with a strong Cantonese accent and explained everything he knew. He said that there is no village named Gan in Gutian area, but the neighboring village Xunxia Village in pingnan county is the gathering place of Gan. He also told us that Pingnan belonged to Gutian in the Qing Dynasty, so Gutian mentioned by our ancestors meant that. He also said that there is no village called Kagan in Gutian, but there is a celebrity named Gan, who kindly found a friend in his cultural center and lent us a county annals, including a passage "... only his parents' tombs are still preserved in Guchangling Village ...". We asked how far Changling was from the county seat. Comrade Li said it would take an hour by car, but your car won't move. He called a car and asked the driver to be our interpreter. Comrade Li is really a rare, kind and good comrade. Until today, we are still grateful for everything he has done for us.
