As a native of Baoding, Hebei, there are two kinds of delicacies that I never forgot after leaving my hometown. It is difficult to eat them outside.
The first is to burn donkey meat. As a kind of pasta, Baoding Huo Shao is usually made from dead noodles. After being cooked in a pan, they are baked in the oven to make them charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Authentic Huo Shao is cooked with donkey fat. It is even more distinctive; once cooked, open it with a knife while it is still hot and add the cooked donkey meat hot, which is the most authentic way to eat it. Depending on your different hobbies, you can add donkey intestines, braised vegetables, etc. to the fire. to give it a unique flavor.
The second is marinated tofu. When I was a kid in the 1980s, there wasn't a lot of food in the house. Afters winter, each household prepared a batch of tofu. Steam the tofu, let it cool, cut it into pieces, sprinkle with salt and leave to marinate in a large bowl. Wait until the Spring Festival, take out the prepared tofu, wash it together, cut it into thin slices or strips, put it on a plate, sprinkle with a little chopped green onion, add a little vinegar, it is delicious. Although there are countless ways to prepare tofu, the marinated tofu made in my hometown is rarely eaten after leaving my hometown.
In my memory, there are many delicious things in my hometown. They are inexpensive but delicious, not difficult to prepare but the local flavor is unforgettable.
In December 2008, a strange thing happened in the gastroenterology department of Nanjing First People's Hospital. A large number of stone-shaped objects were discovered in the stomachc of a patient. Upon inspection, the stones were found to be extremely hard. At that time, after the doctor used a gastroscope to take pictures of the stones in the stomach, he tried to use the gastroscope tools to break the stones, but he failed. Director Zhang Zhenyu proposed an idea: let the patient drink Coke first, which could soften or shrink the stones, which would be beneficial during endoscopic treatment. This information was obtained by Director Zhang during an international academic exchange, the Asia-Pacific Digestive Conference, during this exchange, a Greek digestion expert explained that in 2002, he used a special method to treat stones and had successfully cured many stomach patients. rocks. The idea came from his driver, who said that rusty screws and nail heads could be opened after being put in Cokefor a certain time. The doctor at the first hospital asked the patient to drink a 500 ml bottle of Coke every evening from the third day of admission. After three consecutive days, the doctor prepared to perform endoscopic lithotripsy, but after the endoscope entered the stomach, no large stones were found. could be found and the patient's gastric ulcer still existed, but the edema of the surrounding tissues had subsided. Such inspection results also surprised the experts on site. This question attracted the attention of Dr. Yuan Jie from the Department of Gastroenterology. Eventually, after testing several cases, he discovered that Coca-Cola did indeed have some effect in relieving specific types of stones caused by eating persimmons and other foods. There are three types of gastric stones: hairy gastric stones, plant gastric stones and gastric stones.s mixed. The shapes are mostly round or oval and vary in size from small like table tennis balls to large like a baby's head. Stomach stones are a more difficult case to resolve and are relatively rare. Gastroliths are masses of stones formed in the stomach after eating certain substances. Persimmons or black dates contain something called tannin. In the West, unripe persimmons contain a high level of tannin. When people eat raw persimmons, their tongues feel astringent, which is due to the tannins at work. Under the action of stomach acid, tannin can combine with proteins to form tannic acid protein which is not easily soluble in water and is precipitated into the stomach, where gastric stones of khaki may form. People with a lot of stomach acid are more likely to develop stomach stones if they eat persimmonss. Some people may develop stomach stones after eating raw persimmons once. Additionally, eating a large amount of black dates or hawthorn on an empty stomach can also cause stomach stones. This type of plant-based stones can be treated with cola, but cola is ineffective for those caused by pica and hair feeding. According to experts, Coca-Cola's two ingredients, carbon dioxide and phosphoric acid, can dissolve stomach stones. Will drinking cola corrode the body? Judging from this case, Coca-Cola can even melt stones, so wouldn't other parts of the body be more dangerous under the influence of Coca-Cola? Doctors have also warned that Coca-Cola, as a carbonated drink, contains carbon dioxide, which can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice. In addition, it has also been discovered abroad that the acidity of cola can also corgrinding teeth, and that it would also lead to a reduction in sperm and an increased risk of fractures. Long-term consumption of cola can also cause kidney stones. . The possible harm that carbonated drinks can cause to the body has been studied.
