Vlog random collection (12) Smelly feet make pickles

When I watched Ah Wei’s Yanzi travel vlog yesterday, Ah Wei said one thing that was particularly unforgettable to me.

The reason was that Yanzi was making ice powder. This ice powder needs to be kneaded continuously with hands. As a result, Ah Wei sighed and said, "I will never go out to eat handmade ice powder again. All the handmade ice powder is made by hand." The flavor of the food has gone in."

That's not the point. When Awei was making the ice powder in Yanzi, he said that the process of making pickles in his hometown requires stepping on the vegetable leaves. Well, it seems to be the same as Moutai is almost the same. . .

I heard that there are girls who play music in Maotai, all of them are highly educated beauties. When working, they take off their shoes and socks and clean their feet before starting to play music with bare feet. Maotai liquor is high-end and deserves to be ranked No. 1 in A-shares.

But one thing is different, the pickles in their village are looking for people with smelly feet to step on them, what! . . .

And the more stinky people step on the pickles, the better the pickles will be, and the more sauce-flavored pickles will come out.

I find it difficult to accept this, and I can’t help but think of athlete’s foot. . . , this is not accompanied by a picture, it already has an internal flavor.

With this question in mind, I checked some articles and found a popular science article about stinky feet stepping on pickles.

After reading this article, I actually accept it from a scientific point of view, but whenever I think of the stinky feet pictures I searched for, I think I would rather just do a bowl of white rice.

Then, is it really necessary to step on it with your feet? Why can't it be made with industrial fermentation bacteria? In fact, it is possible, but maybe, industrialized pickles and kimchi lack a bit of the original flavor from ancient times.

After all, Moutai is also made with feet, and what you drink is the long-standing traditional taste, yes, the flavor of sauce!
