The Food of Tongguan Essay

My hometown is Rongcheng Town, Jianli County, Hubei Province, a place close to the Yangtze River. There are many aquatic products and crops here, so my hometown is often called "the land of fish and rice".　　There are many delicacies in my hometown, and my favorites are river shrimp, lingjiao, and pot lumps.　　We are here in the river shrimp is not as big as the sea shrimp, it is only one to two centimeters long, the head with two very long beard, these shrimp have not fried when it is white, and some places are still transparent, like crystal made of the same. But you put it into the pot a fried, they immediately rolled up, but also slowly turned pink, across the distance can be smelled its flavor, greedy you mouth watering three thousand feet.　　In aquatic products, there are not only animals, there are plants, that is the horn. Rhombus has a layer of black outside the shell, looks like a pair of horns on the head of an old cow, the tip of the horn with thorns, if you take the time to be careless, but also be stabbed. Although it is not good-looking outside, but as long as you cut it open, inside will fall out of the white meat. It can be eaten steamed or stir-fried as a vegetable. When steaming, it is best to use a sand wood steamer, and after steaming for more than an hour, opening the lid is fragrant. Our place, in the summer, the streets are selling rhombus, "selling rhombus, sand wood steamer steaming rhombus," the shouts of selling, can be heard from a distance. Sometimes home to facilitate, will directly remove the shell, put the chili pepper with fierce fire fried, green chili pepper set off the snow-white rhombus meat, and nice and delicious.　　My hometown also has a kind of food, that is the pot block. Pot pieces are only available in winter. In winter, you can always find pot nugget stalls in the streets and alleys. As long as someone comes, the boss will take out a small piece of dough, wrapped in meat or vegetables, and then spread into a cake, patting sesame seeds on the cake, and then stick it on the inside wall of the stove made of oil drums, the fire burns very strong, in a short while, the pot block will expand, the surface becomes golden yellow, a burst of strong aroma, baked, you can also brush on the outside of the hot sauce or sweet sauce, in the winter to eat pot block, but it is a pleasure.
