When authentic foodies meet authentic food, no matter how big things are, they have to be in the back row, and I am such a foodie. "Food is the most important thing for the people" is not an excuse I use to find delicious food, but my code of conduct. I practice the truth of this sentence with my actions, and taste delicious food with the sincerity of a foodie.
Someone once asked me why I fell in love with a city? Is it a concern, a mood, a scenic spot or a street? In different places, I give different answers, but for Caofeidian, I can proudly say that it is because of the delicious food, and because of the fugu fragrance that I want to forget but never forget.
There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor.
Tang Cao puffer fish is fresh and delicious.
Golden autumn October, Daoxiangyufei. After learning the news of the opening of the third Puffer Fish Food Festival in Caofeidian, I couldn’t bear the impulse in my heart, and wanted to go to Caofeidian to taste the fragrance of puffer fish early, even though I knew that this puffer fish food festival would last until the end of December. But for foodies, any waiting is shameful in front of food, and I refuse to procrastinate for food. Taking advantage of the weekend, start from Shijiazhuang, drive for 6 hours, and go straight to the Lanfeng Hotel Branch of the 3rd Puffer Fish Food Festival in Caofeidian! Puffer fish, here I come!

DAY 1 A touch of the setting sun, just like the first time I saw it, talking about puffer fish in Shilihai puffer town
The evening breeze is gently stepping on the clouds, and the sunset is selling happiness. This small fishing village is still as beautiful as ever after hundreds of millions of years of sunrise and sunset. Flying seagulls and fishing boats docking sing the songs of this sea. This is Caofeidian Shilihai Puffer Town. Once I walked here again, I met the most beautiful setting sun, and my heart was as exciting as the first time I saw it.
Speaking of getting acquainted with the puffer fish town in Shilihai because of the trip to Caofeidian a few years ago, it was also the first time I tasted the delicacy of puffer fish in Shilihai. To this day, I still remember the uneasiness in my heart when I ate fugu for the first time. On the one hand, I was envious of the delicious and delicious puffer fish meat, but at the same time I was greedy, and at the same time, I still had a trace of fear in my heart, fearing the toxicity of fugu. After all, there was a saying at that time: "If you love her, take her to eat fugu. The taste of fugu is extremely delicious; if you hate her, take her to eat fugu, because the poison of fugu is also related to life and death. .”
"If you don't eat puffer fish, how can you know the taste of fish? If you eat puffer fish, it will be fresh and tasteless." my country has a long history of eating puffer fish. King Fuchai of Wu called puffer fish meat "Xishi milk". Su Dongpo used a famous saying: " The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck, just when the puffer fish is about to come, issued a declaration of authentic foodie. The bipolar controversy about fugu has stumbled like this. On the one hand, people are obsessed with the delicious taste of fugu, and those who have eaten it praise the freshness of fugu; The poison of the puffer fish is a secret. The poison in the puffer fish is so poisonous that the size of a needle tip is enough to kill a person. If you are not careful, it will become the last supper for diners.
Shilihai Puffer Town is named after puffer fish, and puffer fish elements can be seen everywhere. On the outer wall of the town, there are huge 3D wall paintings, the pictures are vivid and have a strong impact.
Compared with last year, the newly added wall paintings are full of cartoon style, including Roaming in Caofeidian, Kaihai Festival, Legend of Concubine Cao, Pippi Shrimp Food Festival... Whether it is 3D wall painting or cartoon wall painting, the theme of the painting is Around the sea, around the puffer fish, around the land, around the food, to tell the local customs of this hot land, through the moving pictures, it seems to smell the slightly salty sea breeze, There are fish rushing out of the sea, and birds are flying...
Most of the images of puffer fish that people see are "puffer fish when angry". After the puffer fish comes out of the water, it will quickly inhale a large amount of air into the body, prop up the whole body into a ball, and erect the small spines on the skin to defend itself. In fact, for people, puffer fish when they are "angry" are not lethal at all, but their small appearance looks inexplicably cute. It should be noted that puffer fish have sharp teeth that can easily bite through chopsticks made of bamboo. If you want to see the puffer fish "angry" and transform into a bubble fish, let experienced people do it.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "great qi hurts the body". Is the poisonous puffer fish really related to "anger"? This is a matter of the benevolent seeing the benevolent and the wise seeing wisdom. Nowadays, people have a clearer understanding of tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin is mainly distributed in ovary and liver, followed by kidney, blood, eyes, gills and skin, while testis and muscle are non-toxic. With the help of science and technology, tetrodotoxin has become an invaluable treasure, which can relieve pain in a very small dose, and can be made into a strong analgesic, which has a miraculous effect on pain relief for cancer patients. According to data research, the international price of "tetrodotoxin" per gram is 20,000 times more expensive than the same weight of gold.
Caofeidian has the largest puffer fish breeding area in the world, and Shilihai puffer fish town is the largest puffer fish breeding base in Caofeidian. The oriental red fin dolphin raised in Shilihai puffer town is plump, delicate and delicious. It ranks first among puffer fish and is known as the "Puffer King". After artificial breeding and processing, this kind of puffer fish can be eaten with confidence.
DAY 1 Fugu is delicious, who is not an action guy? The inner monologue of a foodie
The people of Caofeidian who live near the sea have developed a good skill in cooking delicious food. In Caofeidian, if the head chef of any hotel does not have the skills to surpass others, the hotel is ashamed to say hello to his colleagues.
As the branch venue of Lanfeng Hotel, the head chef is a master and also a person with a story. His ancestors were the imperial cooks of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and he and his people studied and loved food. Passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth and taught by ear, the knife skills, cooking techniques, and unique secret recipes passed down by this "family of kitchen gods" have not changed from generation to generation. The heritage of inheritance and protection also makes the food he makes have a charming taste. With his unique secret recipe, the head chef of Lanfeng Hotel has won various awards and won soft hands. He has been the chef of the gambling king. It is said that Wai Nuo Ren once offered a high price to buy his unique secret recipe. The chef was afraid that Wai Guo Ren would not understand the essence of Chinese cuisine and spoil the good stuff, so he refused the temptation in order not to leak the secret recipe.
Stewing, stewing, frying and frying, these are the basic operations, pull these apart. Now that we have come to the 3rd Puffer Food Festival in Caofeidian and come to the branch venue of Lanfeng Hotel, let’s talk about puffer fish and the main dish of Lanfeng Hotel.
People who have eaten fugu praised the deliciousness of fugu with "If you don't eat fugu, how will you know the taste of fish? If you eat fugu, it will be delicious and tasteless." Fugu can be steamed, braised, sashimi, or soup. Fugu is used as an ingredient. Every proper cooking method will maximize the flavor of fugu.
Take braised puffer fish as an example, the pork meat is strong and chewy, pick up a chopstick and roll the crystal clear fish in the braised soup, put it in the mouth, the meat is springy, take a few bites, the delicious taste is You won’t change it even if you give it to a god; the skin of puffer fish is rich in collagen, and its beauty effect is stronger than donkey-hide gelatin. There are small raised spines on the skin of puffer fish. , and endless aftertaste.
For fugu sashimi, the puffer fish should be sliced into thin slices, and placed on a plate layer by layer, in the shape of blooming flowers. The white fish has a transparent texture. When eating, dip a little mustard or secret seasoning, what you eat is the freshness. The fish skin stewed soup is the signature dish of Lanfeng Hotel, you have to try it. Pair it with a unique double-flavored roll, golden chicken crisps, and drink three glasses of light wine. As a foodie, what else do you want? Yes! Don't forget the dumplings stuffed with puffer fish. There is nothing better than dumplings, and the dumplings stuffed with puffer fish are the best of all gourmet dishes. Until now, I still drool when I think about them.
You don't have to worry about eating too late and drinking too much when you eat delicious food and wine at the branch venue of Lanfeng Hotel. If you get late, you can stay here by the way. The hotel has a modern style that combines oriental style. It is simple, concise and has an impressive design in the subtleties. The bedding is very textured. ) or travelers can experience the comfort of being at home. The Lanfeng Hotel, which has a graceful appearance, shouted "If there is no hot water in 3 seconds, the hotel accommodation will be free". I like this "majestic" temperament!
DAY 2 was originally a real estate project, but it accidentally became a check-in point for Internet celebrities. Lost or earned?
If you plant flowers deliberately, the flowers will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will make shade. Many things are often like this, things that are done inadvertently, but in the end they spread out and achieve unexpected results. This happened in Caofeidian, Tangshan, Hebei. It was originally a real estate project, but it accidentally became a check-in spot for Internet celebrities. Did it lose or earn? You come to give a review.
Before talking about this internet celebrity check-in point, I still want to briefly introduce Caofeidian. Caofeidian is the abbreviation of Caofeidian District, Tangshan, Hebei. It is located in the south of Tangshan, in the center of the Bohai Sea, adjacent to Beijing and Tianjin, south of the Bohai Sea, and across the sea from Dalian, Yantai, North Korea and South Korea. In the minds of many people, Caofeidian is a model of "facing the sea, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming". Living here to watch the sunrise and sunset, and being next to the sea, will you become more open-minded.
The protagonist of our story is located in this beautiful place, which is Evergrande Health Valley. Speaking of Evergrande Health Valley, everyone should be familiar with it. Many cities have its shadow, but this place in Caofeidian is a little different. It is the only one built near the sea in China.
Caofeidian Evergrande Health Valley has not yet been completed as a whole, but the shining Internet celebrity temperament has begun to emerge. At first glance, Caofeidian Evergrande Health Valley is European-style. Children's Water World, Children's Talent Center, and Children's Fighting Toy City are like castles in fairy tales. This kind of power that reverses time and space makes people want to go in and find out. When children come, they don’t want to leave, and adults also want to go in. In such a fun and interesting place, who is not a child?
Walking forward, walking into the Evergrande Health Valley, it is another scene, elegant garden design, secluded grass, green bamboo, soothing music, fountain dancing with the music beat, dreamlike water The fog, the hazy canna in the pond, and the just right national tide dilute the European flavor of Yangsheng Valley. Walking around and taking photos casually, there are many places to take pictures here, squirrels playing on the lawn, cartoon three-dimensional images everywhere, even the chairs for resting are also scenery, no wonder this place can become a newly promoted Internet celebrity "check in" "Holy place.
Of course, if you walk around the community gardens at will, you will find more interesting places, such as Quyuan Club, Sunshine Library, Chess and Cards Club, and Guoxue Hall. You can make a bowl of tea in Quyuan Club, listen to the movement of silk strings, watch the light dance of water sleeves, the babbling melody breaks the barriers of time and space, hits the depths of the soul from the distant years, and the rhythmic big drum book sings softly Sing, with the power to soothe the soul.
Turning over a volume of manuscripts in the Sunshine Library, taking a sip of coffee, leaving the fragrance of ink in your hands, and the fragrance in your heart. You can also invite three or five friends to play chess and a table of mahjong in the chess and card club, and talk and laugh to narrow the distance between hearts. You have a poetic spirit in your belly, of course, you can also go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to show your talents, spread out a piece of rice paper, splash ink, and paint the gully in your heart, expressing your spirit.
When the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear, go to Bihai Silver Beach for a walk. The warm winter sun fills every corner here. This is the place you yearn for facing the sea and blooming in spring. The beach is backfilled with fine sand from Hainan. When you step on it, the fine sand is wrapped in the warmth of the sun, and you can smell the fragrance of coconut groves.
This beach under the warm sun is full of time and tranquility. The blue sea, blue sky, and soft sand are scattered with Internet celebrity check-in spots everywhere - crystal auditorium, rainbow corridor, flower vine swing, sweet hot air balloon, ancient Greek arch... ...Even if you can't wear a beach swimsuit and soak in the clear sea water, just take a selfie in front of these online celebrity check-in points, and post it in Moments, you don't know how many envious eyes you will attract. These beautiful photos It really makes people mistakenly think that they have traveled abroad!
