Only love and food can live up to it. On this cold and windy winter day, the most soothing thing is a steaming bowl of soup. Poetic Jiangnan, calligraphy and painting Pujiang. Pujiang County belongs to Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, known as the "hometown of calligraphy and painting", but what makes the people of Pujiang most proud is not those praiseworthy calligraphy and paintings, but the unforgettable beef clear soup, which is the nostalgia that the wanderers in the distant countryside cannot give up.
This thousand-year-old small city, pregnant with countless delicacies, a variety of shops all over the streets and alleys, Dongming beef clear soup is just a drop in the ocean, this hidden in Pujiang County Huancheng West Road No. 189 small store, no gorgeous decoration, no exquisite plating, in vain left a red background white character signboard, but also some eye-catching, in this "look at the face" era, it seems to seem out of place. However, even so, there are still many customers who look and wait, most of them like me, and are pulled by the rich aroma that comes to the nose.
The victory of taste is the fundamental reason why Dongming beef clear soup has not been eliminated. Like most beef broth shops, Dongming beef broth uses an open kitchen where cutting, ingredients, and stewing are clear at a glance, making it more reassuring to eat. The rustic and enthusiastic hostess is skilled, a spoonful of soup, a little pepper, and finally grab a handful of green onions, put into a white porcelain bowl that has already put the beef offal, a bowl of fresh and fragrant beef clear soup is made, just looking at the bright color, it makes people secrete saliva madly.
Beef clear soup, soup is the soul. In the minds of Pujiang people, the taste of Dongming beef clear soup is irreplaceable, even if the method is the same, the taste is difficult to reproduce. Dongming beef broth is made of freshly killed live beef, to ensure the freshness of beef, after the bone is cleaned, the mind, skin and meat including internal organs are put into a large pot together for a whole day, which is the finishing touch is the secret spice of the Dongming family, the unique recipe makes the taste of the beef broth delicious, a mouthful into the throat, it is enough to wash away the accumulation of winter, which is a taste that Pujiang people will miss wherever they go.
Of course, in addition to beef broth, there are also a variety of beef derivatives, among which roast beef is loved by customers and has become a must-order dish at the dinner table. On the steaming baking plate, the tender pieces of beef constantly make a nourishing sound, gradually changing from bright red to light pink, with moderate thickness, clearly visible texture, and the aroma drifts with the heat, filling the entire space. In an instant, my pupils dilated and my throat subconsciously moved, which is probably the most deadly place of food, without summoning, you can't help but pick up chopsticks.
A plate of grilled meat, a plate of dipping sauce, and a bowl of beef broth are the highest tribute to winter.
