The river in the Zigong proverb "King of Hedong, Li of Hexi" is called Puxi River, which flows southeast and joins the Tuojiang River, and can go to Guanghan by taking the Tuojiang River, which is the traditional salt transportation route in Sichuan. The water transportation system composed of the Puxi River and the Tuojiang River is also called a "small river" by the Sichuan cuisine industry.

Sichuan cuisine is divided into three systems, namely the "Shanghe Gang" represented by Chengdu, the "Xiahe Gang" represented by Chongqing, and the "Xiaohe Gang" represented by Zigong. Boiled fish, boiled beef, boiled pork slices...... The real birthplace of these "boiled" series of dishes is Zigong.

Zigong "Xiahe Gang" Sichuan cuisine is divided into three branches: salt merchant cuisine, salt worker cuisine and guild hall cuisine.

Yangong cuisine, as the name suggests, is eaten by workers, with ordinary materials and simple methods, which are in line with the taste and economic affordability of the public.

The guild hall cuisine, all-inclusive, was brought by merchants from the south to the north, integrating the strengths of major cuisines and adding local characteristics of Zigong.

Salt merchant dishes, that's terrifying. The "Huobianzi Beef" we mentioned before is a salt merchant dish, the taste is still secondary, it must be of high grade, and the atmosphere of local tyrants is coming.

In ancient times, salt merchants liked to fight for wealth, such as "pig blood wang", an ordinary dish. Salt merchants have to feed the pigs with precious medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and then hang the pigs up to pour hot porridge, which is also exquisite, the process is complex, and the materials are wonderful. These are just preludes, when the pig's esophagus is scalded with blood blisters from porridge, puncture those blood blisters to make pig blood materials, and then fry them into vegetables with various unique processes.

There is a famous dish in Zigong called "diving frog", which is also a salt merchant dish. The traditional method is to coat the inside of the wooden box with a secret sauce, then put in the frogs that have been intensively reared for several days, cover the box, and let the frogs jump for a few months before taking them out. Due to the sauce, the frog not only does not rot after death, but retains a certain amount of moisture, and is full of rich aroma and strong meat, so it is carefully cooked as an ingredient.

Well, these things have been eaten by the author.

The only "diving frog" I have ever eaten has become a "boiled frog" in the 21st century, and it is hard to imagine what the traditional method tastes like.

Zhou Hexuan also failed to feast, Wang Deqian actually invited him to eat bean curd rice, which is a typical salt worker dish, and he does not have the courage of a big salt merchant at all.

Shuguang Middle School didn't go there for the time being, Zhou Hexuan took a boat south to Fushun, and there was a place called "Zhulin Bay" near Dengguan, which was the hermitage of Li Zongwu, the leader of the Houhei Sect.

Several dilapidated bamboo, wood and earth mixed buildings, with a typical southwest Ming and Qing dynasty residential style.

Li Zongwu was dressed in a dirty long gown, leaning on a bamboo chair, with peanuts and soju next to him. While reading a book, he picked his feet, sometimes picked up peanuts, and drank sorghum wine.

The old wife came over with a straight face, threw a clean dress on him, and shouted, "Eat and eat, and you will know how to eat!" I'm about to change my clothes, I haven't taken off a long shirt for two months, I threw it in the laundry bucket yesterday, why don't you pick it up and wear it again? ”

Li Zongwu said with a smile: "I'm afraid that my wife will be tired of laundry." ”

The old wife said angrily: "My nose is affected, and my clothes are all bad!" ”

"Take it off immediately, take it off immediately, Madame's anger." Li Zongwu hurriedly got up and loosened his clothes.

"Fear of the Wife of the Twelve Classics" is an important part of thick black learning, Li Zongwu said: "Only by being afraid of his wife can he become a master, and only by being afraid of his wife can he be a hero." Fear of wife is the quintessence of Sichuan, and it should also become the quintessence of China, whether it is to unify the whole country or to favor security, only those who are afraid of their wives can do it. ”

In Li Zongwu's theoretical system, fear of his wife is combined with anti-Japanese resistance. Qi Jiguang is a famous general against the Japanese, and Qi Jiguang is also afraid of his wife - manual funny.

The old wife took the dirty clothes and asked, "Your book has been published for a long time, and there is no money in the house." ”

Li Zongwu hurriedly said: "It's coming, it's coming, I'm preparing for printing." ”

"Hurry up fart," the old wife ruthlessly debunked, "the documents wanted by the central government have been sent to the county, who dares to print your book?" You don't have to read writing articles every day, hurry up and find a school to teach. You used to be the principal of the county middle school (Guo Xiaosi's alma mater, Fushun No. 2 Middle School), and now you can always go back to be a teacher, and teaching is more glorious than writing articles. ”

Li Zongwu patiently explained: "Madam, what are you talking about, I am a professor at Sichuan University, how can I go back to the county middle school to be a teacher?" Even if I wanted to be a teacher, the principal wouldn't dare to ask for it. The headmaster's head must have hurt a lot, and he didn't have a suitable position for me. If I go to be a vice principal, school director, or something, the principal will not be able to do it, and my colleagues will not be happy, so I will simply find fault for everyone. ”

The old wife said: "Yes, yes, you can see that I am a fool." ”

Li Zongwu said again: "Besides, teaching can only teach one generation, and my writing can influence tens of millions of generations." ”

The old wife sneered and sarcastically: "I know, you are the leader of the Houhei Sect, and you can be offered to eat cold pig's head meat in the Houhei Temple in the future." ”

Li Zongwu smiled and said: "Madame has seen thousands of miles and admires it. ”

"I only know how to dream when it's dark, and I'm too lazy to tell you." The old wife complained and went to wash her clothes.

"Alas!"

Li Zongwu sighed in a low voice, he saw the officialdom too thoroughly, and he didn't want to go along with it, so he had no career at all. "Thick Black Learning" has been issued a single book, the negative impact is great, he has been perfecting the thick black theory in the past two years, and writing a "manual" for the thick black study, I hope you don't use the wrong science.

Li Zongwu also did education to save the country or something, and he was beaten up by conservative students for implementing education reform. He also made trouble in the revolution, when Li Zongwu County took the first test to show talent, and won the fame in the provincial science normal class, but he ran to join the League and participated in the assassination of Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, and was almost wanted.

But now, Li Zongwu is completely confused in his thoughts, and it is not a good thing to see the society too clearly.

The old wife was washing clothes by the river, and suddenly saw a boat approaching, and someone on the bow of the boat asked, "Excuse me, where is Mr. Li Zongwu's home?" ”

The old wife looked up and asked, "What are you doing in the world?" I'm his mother-in-law. ”

Zhou Hexuan asked Sun Yongzhen to bring a gift: "Hello sister-in-law, I am a friend of Brother Li, so I came to visit." ”

The old wife hurriedly wiped her hands and said with a smile: "Please, please." She turned around and shouted, "Li Shiquan, you have a little brother here!" ”

Li Zongwu stepped on cloth shoes and came out: "Which little brother?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled and clasped his fists and approached: "Brother Zongwu, long time no see!" ”

Nan Huaijin and Qian Ji also said, "Mr. Li, we came to see you." ”

"Well, it's a few of you," Li Zongwu was overjoyed and roared, "Madam, come back and kill the chickens, don't do the laundry!" ”
