"Caiyu" is the name of Wuhan, and it is also called "black fish" and "raw fish". It has a fierce nature and strong reproductive power. The scale pattern of its skin is somewhat similar to that of snakes. However, it has delicate meat, delicious taste, and high nutritional value. It has the medical effects of removing blood stasis and regenerating new life, nourishing and nourishing the spleen, strengthening the spleen and diuresis. Take it after illness, childbirth, and surgery. It has the effect of replenishing blood and accelerating wound healing. It can also treat edema, dampness, athlete's foot, hemorrhoids, scabies and other diseases.
Caiyu simmered lotus root soup is a local famous dish in Wuhan. In winter, in the open space downstairs in front of the community, grandma and grandmothers, clay pot racks are placed on the briquettes stove. A big can, the whole family will be happy after drinking it. . . Nowadays, the conditions have improved. The clay pot rack briquettes stove model is rare. Instead, it is replaced by a variety of pots, which are environmentally friendly and hygienic, but the taste is always a little bit worse. . .
I didn’t drink fish soup for a long time, and I missed it very much. Taking advantage of the good weather, I took Ang Bao on foot to the vegetable market. I first chose a wealthy fish and then went to a familiar vegetable stall. The stall owner chose a piece of noodles suitable for soup. The lotus root, go home happily, wash, cut, fry, put it into the stew, and wait patiently while reading with Angbao. The harvest is always better than what is expected. The soup is thick and white and delicious, and the lotus root is soft and waxy, delicious. Good taste, you are worth a try~~~
