I have long heard that the leaf rice in Yibin Hongqiao is very delicious. It just so happened that an old man from Xi'an wanted to develop the Ye Ercang business, so he had been planning to go and see.
Ye ErCang, also known as duck rice, two rice rice dumplings, pig rice dumplings. It is made by kneading glutinous rice flour with rice flour, filling in the middle, and then wrapped in a layer of fragrant leaves unique to Sichuan.
Because it is wrapped in leaves, it is called leaf erzhu.
Because two kinds of rice are used, it is called two rice dumplings.
Because the shape is round and rolling, it is a bit like a cute little piggy pig, so it is also called pig.
This fragrant leaf has a special fragrance. The filling of Ye Ercang is also a unique Sichuan pickle and minced pork belly stir-fried together, spicy and delicious, full of aroma.
Hongqiao Pig Is Crystal Clear, Warm as Jade, and has always been very famous. Legend has it that when the lake filled Sichuan, the immigrants lacked food and clothing in the chaos of soldiers and horses, there was no fat pig to worship the gods, in order to pray for the blessing of the bodhisattva, they used glutinous rice to make a pig shape, put it in front of the gods to pray, sincerely touched the heavens, since then the red bridge wind and rain are smooth, the people are healthy...
Because I had just finished attending a full moon feast at noon, I set off at more than one o'clock. Cars race all the way down the highway. It was my nephew who was driving, perhaps a little impatient, too fast, and suddenly smelled a scorched smell.
Fortunately, there are not many cars on the highway. Stop to check, the water tank is open. Quickly add cold water, open for a while there is the same problem.
The water tank leaked...
Along the way, the bamboo sea scenery did not have the heart to see, stop and go, it was difficult to reach the Red Bridge, it was more than three o'clock.
There is a car repair shop on the side of the road. I went over and asked the master if he could change the water tank. The young master said to open it and see. The nephew opened the lid of the carriage, and the master unloaded some parts, looked at it for a while but did not speak, and turned to play with the mobile phone.
I was a little anxious and asked him if he could fix it. He said wait a minute, now the water tank is too hot...
It seemed that he would not be able to answer for a moment and a half. Next door is a pig restaurant. Let's take a look.
There are many signs hanging on the walls of the store, Chinese famous special snacks, local special brands, Yibin regional special brand awards...
I was dazzled by what I saw.
We came to eat leaf and not medals. Look directly at the product. There are only two flavors, sweet and salty. But look at those two pots of filling, there is no appetite...
There was a table of guests who were eating, and the leaf rice brought out by the hostess actually omitted the leaves.
Let's change one. The town is full of Leaf Shops. Walked many times in a row, all without leaves, looking at the filling is also very disappointed...
Back at the repair shop, the mechanic was still playing with his mobile phone. Seeing that he was posting WeChat and asking if someone else had a water tank, I asked him how long it would take him to decide, and he replied that it would take about forty or fifty minutes. "Or you'll go play first, and I'll call you again..."
I was a little angry at this point. "Whether you can fix it or not, just a word." If you don't have accessories in your shop, I can understand asking from elsewhere. One sentence thing, is it necessary to be so embarrassed? ”
He looked up at the sky and finally said that he could repair it, "180 water tanks, 180 working hours, a total of 360..."
Nephew said that the water tank is only a few dozen pieces, change a water tank a few times, how can it be so expensive?
The master said that the water tank needs to be sent by others, and there must be freight...
Originally, I thought that there were hundreds of things in total, and I didn't have to worry about him. But this has been delayed for half a day, and it is already more than five o'clock. Asked how long it would take to deliver it, he said it would take more than an hour.
Can't wait any longer.
In the town to find a few car repair shops, said that there is no water tank, this is almost dark, can not send, can only wait for tomorrow...
Forget it, the car can drive back to Yibin without repair, just a little slower.
You should eat something before you go. But everyone said they had no appetite. The Hongqiao Pig Ercang, who came to visit the special visit, is really not as beautiful as we imagined!
Although the pig is delicious, it is not famous. It is really people who are afraid of being famous pigs are afraid of being strong.
I have no intention of denigrating the local characteristics of Hongqiao. Perhaps, pig rice is just a local feature of Hongqiao, which is not originally a leaf rice, and can not bring leaves.
Thank you for your interest!
