Donggou "Little Dog Meat"

Donggou's "Little Dog Meat" is actually not dog meat, but rabbit meat. Every process is particularly exquisite, and even its name has its origin. First of all, the selection of materials is exquisite. The main ingredients are fat fresh rabbits weighing 225 to 250 kilograms. Qiu Hongjiang has the unique skill of "seeing two things at a time" to tell whether rabbits are fresh or not. Look, it is to see whether the rabbit's eyes shine; Carrying is carrying the rabbit's belly. Rabbit meat is too loose and its taste is poor, so it is also rejected. Secondly, the ingredients are particular. In order to get rid of the earthy smell of rabbit meat, Donggou "Little Dog Meat" uses more than 20 kinds of superior ingredients, which are boiled in a certain proportion. It is used year after year, and the longer it is used, the more fragrant it becomes. Never use onion and ginger in the ingredients, which ensures the light and delicious taste of "little dog meat". Third, the division is particular. Hares are peeled and divided into pieces, and each rabbit is divided into 36 pieces, each of which is almost the same size. Fourth, selling is exquisite. Donggou "Little Dog Meat" has a special costume when selling. Holding a bamboo tube for storing "small dog meat" in the left hand, and knocking on the chopped bamboo rod in the right hand, also known as knocking on the "barge", must knock out the rhythm, the charm and the "words", which can be recognized by careful people as soon as they hear it. The sound is "eat-eat-eat and watch". The name "Little Dog Meat" in Donggou also has its origin. According to Qiu Hongjiang, in the 1930s, many hunters in Lianshui and Huai 'an went to Donggou to hunt and stayed in Xiaowangzhuang (today's dawn village). These people thought that rabbits ran with the wind and said that it was unlucky to shoot rabbits, so they changed it to "puppy". Donggou "Little Dog Meat" got its name from this.
