The Yangtze River integrates east and west, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and south. Xiajiang area has always been a prosperous area of Chinese food culture and urban restaurants.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 20th century, with the change of Jin and Song Dynasties, the traditional cultural center of China moved to the south historically due to the unprecedented large-scale movement of the Central Plains society. The stability and development of the Southern Song regime accelerated the development of Hangzhou into the most prosperous and developed metropolis in China. The system of "four divisions and six bureaus" shows the mature development of social catering management services. hangzhou dishes has not only become a world-renowned representative of urban cuisine, but also actually represents the highest level of China's catering culture and history. From the Song Dynasty to the Republic of China, hangzhou dishes has maintained a sustained and brilliant trend, and its reputation of "there is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below" is enduring. Yuan Mei, a gourmet in the Qing Dynasty, and the West Lake Expo in the Republic of China had a great influence on the historical development of hangzhou dishes.

1956, Hangzhou identified 53 famous Hangzhou dishes, marking a new starting point for hangzhou dishes's development in new China. Since the reform and opening up from 65438 to 0978, hangzhou dishes has entered the fast lane of history. Hangzhou is the first choice for major cooking activities and food exhibitions at home and abroad. Under the guidance of innovative cooking concepts, Hangzhou cuisine has absorbed the advantages of cuisines from all over China, blended the diversity from overseas and continued to be popular all over the country. In 2000, the Hangzhou Municipal Government identified 48 new famous dishes in Hangzhou.

3.2 Field trip

3.2. 1 food evaluation

The following is the evaluation of the building outside the building:

The delicious food in Hangzhou, such as Hangzhou vinegar fish and beggar chicken, tastes very strange. The vinegar fish is sweet and sour, but the fish is tender. The beggar chicken is sweet and tender. -My classmate

West Lake vinegar fish: it tastes ordinary and has earthy smell; The taste of sweet and sour sauce only floats on the surface, and it is not tasty. The sour taste and sweet taste are not well integrated, so the price is too high and the cost performance is extremely low.

Beggar chicken: The meat is easy to tear, but it tastes a little firewood, and the price is too high, just like the West Lake vinegar fish 198, and the cost performance is low.

Onion stew: There are several onions, each with only one onion. The dough surface is very brittle, but the price is too high and the cost performance is low.

Soup dumplings: thicker skin, less soup. I can't eat very hot food, so it doesn't taste very good.

Generally speaking, the food outside the building tastes ordinary, not as delicious as rumored, and the cost performance is low. -Me?

The following is the evaluation of the taste of Qiantang:

West Lake Vinegar Fish: The perception and taste rank first among the three. Very tasty, without the earthy smell and obvious ginger smell cooked by ourselves. It tastes quite authentic.

Sam sun soup: the taste is average, above average.

Glutinous rice lotus root: Sweet, the syrup poured on it tastes very special, and the sticky rice is so tightly stuffed that people want to eat another one after eating it. -Me?

On the third day, my classmates and I made three hangzhou dishes at home:

West Lake Vinegar Fish: It tastes better than that building outside. Ginger tastes a little strong. There seems to be something wrong with the sauce. The color is not transparent and dark brown like the buildings outside, but light brown like coffee. But fortunately, Jiang Fang drank too much, and he didn't taste the fishy smell like outside the building.

Longjing shrimp: the shrimp was bought by mistake and became a river shrimp. It's tiring to crack a shell, and it's hard to kill a life with your own hands, especially when you pinch your head. After peeling, add raw flour, egg white and salt, but it seems thinner than in the picture. When it was burning, the fire started again and the juice dried up again. Finally, when Longjing was added, the tea soup could not be collected. After personally making these dishes, I became more and more amazed at the genius of the chefs who developed these famous dishes. Because I eat very lightly myself, I can hardly taste anything salty or tea after cooking ... It's good to set the plate in red and green.

Dongpo Meat: The coloring failed a bit. The meat was bought late, and the square meat could not be cut out and became a slender cuboid. Finally, it looks a bit like braised pork. There is too much rock sugar, which tastes a little sweet as a whole. -Me?

3.2.2 Investigation of Hangzhou Restaurant

The history of Hangzhou cuisine

2200 years ago, Sima Qian vividly summarized the unique regional characteristics of Hangzhou's food culture with the words "there are grains everywhere, rice and soup fish". Hangzhou has been further developed since Dayu's southern tour. From the Qin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, the economy of the south of the Yangtze River developed rapidly, and gradually formed a diet style based on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with hangzhou dishes as a typical representative.

Qiantang rose to the county in Sui Dynasty, and the Grand Canal was opened. The wealth of South China gathered in Hangzhou and went north to the Central Plains. During the Tang and Five Dynasties of more than three centuries, Hangzhou catering flourished for a long time. Bai Juyi dredged the West Lake and became famous for his boat food. During the wuyue period, Hangzhou was stable and prosperous, Buddhism flourished, and vegetarianism developed; The development of hangzhou dishes has opened a new historical stage.

Hangzhou has a population of 10 million, with restaurants on both sides of the canal, cruise ships on the West Lake, and delicious dishes and wines. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Hangzhou's catering industry was extremely prosperous. Tourists from all over the world praise Hangzhou cuisine.

Since Yang Di dug the Grand Canal, Hangzhou has become the terminal of the north-south artery integrating economy, culture, politics and transportation, and has always been a concentrated place for high, medium and low-grade restaurants. During the Tang Dynasty, the business trade at the end of the Grand Canal was prosperous, and restaurants, tea shops and inns lined up. With the economic center of gravity gradually shifting to the south and the prosperity of water transportation, merchant ships from south to north are in an endless stream, and the market on the shore is crowded, which brings together the food customs of various places. This scene lasted 13 centuries until the late Qing Dynasty. Most of the food stories in the past dynasties originated from the front line of the canal, vividly showing the rich food culture on both sides of the Hangzhou Canal.

Gourmet story

Zhixiao Weilong is a flavor snack of Hangzhou Zhiweiguan. When cooking, fermented white flour is used as skin, fresh meat, or fresh meat mixed with shrimp, or chicken mixed with minced ham is used as stuffing, and special jelly is added to the stuffing, and then it is wrapped in a special steamer for steaming, which is called fresh meat cage, shrimp cage and chicken fire cage respectively. These steamed stuffed buns are fragrant and fresh in juice, thin and smooth in skin, but have different tastes.

There is an interesting ceremony for Li Guo, a Hangzhou-style snack. In A.D. 1 142, the national hero Yue Fei was killed in Dali Temple in Lin 'an on trumped-up charges, and the people of Hangzhou hated the Qin Gui couple. Legend has it that one day, there was a boss selling fried food in Hangzhou, who compared two human-shaped dough pieces to Mr. and Mrs. Qin Gui, pressed them together, pressed them with a stick, and put them in an oil pan for frying, saying, "Fry Qin Gui, fry Qin Gui!" People understood what he meant and rushed to buy "fried juniper". This is the origin of fried dough sticks. Later, on this basis, it developed into a Hangzhou-style snack-juniper onion.
