The local Gugou area is also the residence of Muslims, who have a special liking for beef. The processing of beef is also unique. Beef soup is delicious in Huaishang, and the most important food for breakfast is popular in Jianghuai, forming a unique flavor of local snacks.
Huainan beef soup pays attention to the selection of ingredients. Cattle in Jianghuai area were used as raw materials, and beef bones were used to make soup. When cooking beef, the blood must be soaked thoroughly and the internal organs must be cleaned. All can be cooked in the same pot, and the fried Huai pepper (red dried pepper) is made into red oil with homemade butter. Therefore, beef soup is mainly soup, and soup has no taste if it is not alcohol. However, there are many ways to make beef soup, all of which use local specialties, such as glutinous rice flour, mung bean cake, bean curd skin (thousands of pages) and bean dumplings as accessories. Huainan beef soup gives people the impression that the soup is thick, mellow and fresh, spicy and palatable, rich in raw materials, full of flavor, endless aftertaste and suitable for all seasons.
Huainan beef soup is made of dozens of nourishing medicinal materials and marinade in a certain proportion by traditional techniques. After years of cooking, Qing Xiang is delicious. There is no black soup. If you drink too much, you will not get angry or dry up. With vermicelli and dried silk, you will never get tired of eating. It is a famous snack in Jiangsu, Henan and Anhui.
One of the origins of Huainan beef soup is that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang, a college student of Huainan Hanlin, studied herbs and was good at diet. He was once a big official of the court and won the favor of the emperor. After retirement, I returned to my hometown and the beautiful bank of Huaihe River to pass on the secret recipe of Qing Palace to future generations. Therefore, Huainan beef soup is famous for its unique flavor on both sides of the Huaihe River, all over the country, and you can never get tired of eating it.
Another kind of Huainan beef soup originated from Gudui Hui Township, Xiejiaji District, Huainan, Anhui Province. According to legend, the Hui people mainly live in this area, mainly beef, and the yellow cattle around Huainan have better meat quality. Muslims in this area make their own beef soup to eat. I don't know that the beef soup business started gradually in this area, and then it was gradually introduced to Li Yingzi Town, Tangshan Town, Yanggong Town and Sun Miao Township in Huainan. Later, it became famous near the big vegetable market in Li Yingzi town. Later, it spread to the vicinity of Caijiagang bus station and Shouxian county. Gradually spread to many places.
