Hengyang xian gourmet

1, Zhajiang rice noodle: Zhajiang rice noodle is very famous in Hengyang with a long history. It is no exaggeration to call it "the king of Hengyang rice noodles". According to the Records of Hengyang County compiled in the late Qing Dynasty, "Zhajiang is a must for Xixiang because of its delicious rice, delicious powder and many eaters."

2. Lotus leaf rice: There are many lotus ponds in Hengyang, so people here often take them when the lotus leaves are flourishing and make them into lotus leaf rice, which is not only delicious, but also smells the faint fragrance of lotus leaves.

3. Fake mutton: it's just a joke for the sly people in Zhajiang to entertain themselves. It's not made of mutton, let alone fake mutton. That's soup made of pig's head, lean pork and lotus seed skin.

4. Wuyuan Wulian: Wulian is listed as a tribute of past dynasties because of its full granules, powder but not greasy, sweet and delicious. Wulian in Taiyuan Town is exported to Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and other international markets, which once made Taiyuan one of the largest lotus seed trading markets in China.

5. Husband Chili: Wang Chuanshan lived in poverty when he lived in seclusion in Xiangxi Caotang, Hengyang County in his later years. He often fried glutinous rice, then crushed it for seasoning and brewed it into pepper. He kept it sealed in a jar. When eating, he took out a few pieces and fried them in oil until they were golden yellow, scorched outside and waxy inside.
