Huashaoying dog meat

There is another thing that has to be mentioned in the Yangyuan cuisine of Huashaoying Dog Meat, and that is the dog meat in Huashaoying Town. No one can say clearly when eating dog meat can be traced back, but according to the older generation, as early as when Mu Guiying set up camp in the west, people began to stew dog meat. There are many ways to eat dog meat, such as burning, stewing, marinating and frying. The traditional way to cook dog meat is mainly stewing. The key to stewing dog meat is soup stock. In Huashaoying, each dog meat restaurant has a big pot for holding soup, and the preparation of soup has its own characteristics. After a pot of soup has been boiled for thousands of times, sometimes even the people who prepare it can't tell exactly how the taste came from it. The meat stewed with this soup can go deep into the bones. The traditional dog meat stew takes yellow dog as the top, white dog as the second, and black dog as the bottom. Now, most of them use dogs as raw materials, and it is cold in summer and hot in winter. There is also braised dog meat, which is sweet in flexibility and is a delicious food for drinking. In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen said that dog meat "can calm the five internal organs, lighten the body, replenish qi, strengthen the kidney, warm the waist and knees, strengthen strength, make up for five tuberculosis and seven injuries, and strengthen the lower energizer". According to modern medicine, dog meat is rich in protein, but its fat content is very low, and it is rich in vitamins, trace elements and amino acids, which is in line with modern people's dietary standards. Dog meat is warm and sweet, and has high medicinal value. Therefore, the folk proverb says, "Dog meat is better than ginseng in October-spring" and "Dog meat will make up for it this winter, and tigers will be killed next spring". This vividly shows that dog meat has the characteristics of delicious taste and high nutritional value. People in the north eat yellow wheat cake, people in the south eat glutinous rice cake, and ethnic minorities in the west eat Ciba. Generally speaking, eating cakes is in the New Year, which means "sticky" and "year", and "cake" and "high" are homophonic in the south, also known as eating "rice cakes", so as to make a good luck every year. Yangyuan people love cake very much and regard it as a staple food, but they have been skeptical every day for the New Year and climb high. Later, when I lived in Yuxian country/J for more than a month, I found that I really liked my reputation. Every day, I ate in the canteen or the farmhouse, and everyone had a plate of Huang Chengcheng cakes at the table. Everyone laughed and ate with relish.
