Friends of Time: Evolution of Benxi Xiang Rice

On the table of the Chinese people, pay attention to the word "taste", bustling, always with heat, thick, chic as delicious. Ingredients like rice are rare.

As the foundation and model of Asian food, “Mich Culture” is deeply rooted in our lives.

When I read the descriptions of "Green Musk Rice and Rice" and "Bixi Porridge" in "Dream of Red Mansions", I always couldn't hold the taste buds. As a common staple food in everyone's life, the simpleness of the rice, and the land that gave birth to her have a quality that coincides with each other, and has a willingness to pay the motherhood color - the word "below the meal" sounds a bit of a favor.

Rice has an irreplaceable position all over the world. Thai rice is fine and tender, the body of a dancer is soft and moderate; the Indian rice is long, transparent, and the loose texture is easy to infiltrate the soup, which is in line with their hand-picked rice; neighboring Japan, the rice is also called "Silver relic" shows their cherish and fear of rice

In the country, the rice planting area is spread across the land of China. The public often listens to Tianjin Xiaozhan Rice, Northeast Daohuaxiang, Ningxia Bibi Rice, Tangshan Rouge Rice and so on.

In the northeast of the cold, the Koreans living in the ethnic group have cultivated rice on the dry land of their homeland since the farming culture. Kwai Sang brand Benxi Xiang rice is one of them.

Natural conditions

Benxi Xiangmi is named “Benxixiang”. It has the meaning of geographical names, the extended meaning of origin and nature, and the uniqueness of products. It also highlights the differentiation and exclusiveness of brands. Benxixiang rice is produced in Wudaohezi Village, Huanren Town, Huanren County, in the beautiful mountainous area of ​​Liaodong. Although the name of the place of origin is long, it is easy to remember. The word “桓仁” is quite Confucian.

There is a cloud in the local folk songs: “The Sanwudao River is in the first line, and the riverside is full of smoke. There are 30 households in the Goryeo Street, and the households are worth millions of money.”

It is not far away. There is a two-thousand-year-old Goguryeo Street next to Wudaohezi, also called Wufu Street. The locals call the rice here Wufu Rice, and the homonym "Five Fortunes".

Benxi fragrant rice can be described as the "Rolls Royce" in rice. As early as the Qing Dynasty, it was included in the royal tribute. After 1949, it was designated by the state as a special foreign guest. In 1958, the International Agricultural Products Expo held in India won the honor of the country. Huanren County was listed as a valuable rice production base by the state. In 1974, he gave a congratulatory message to Chairman Mao to express his great love for the great leaders and to be proud of the Five Fortunes. It is now listed as a “national geographical indication protection variety”, which is very precious.

There have also been visitors from afar, who have come to the paddy fields in the deep-footed ankles of Huanren County, and imagine their ins and outs.

For a long time, our table has been filled with rice from all over the country, and the debate about “Where is the best rice to eat” has never stopped. It is also strange to say that Jiangnan rice, which is often eaten rice, is softer and stronger than the rice in the north. Why is Benxi Xiangmi so delicious? In fact, it is not difficult to understand.

The natural conditions of natural beauty are the best cradle for rice. Wudaohezi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the light is super long. It is called the sunny land. Benxi fragrant rice is produced on both sides of the Daer River. The quality of the water in this area is special. The water quality of the upstream talc mineral gives the rice a lot of trace elements. Therefore, the Benxi fragrant rice has the title of “Mi King”.

Among them, Sandaohezi and Wudaohezi are the best. Sandaohezi Rice is known as Beijing-style rice, which is a tribute of the Qing Dynasty. It is named after the taxation of rent. These rice grains are delicate and simple, and from 3,000 years ago to the present, they defend the human stomach like the royal loyal guards.

Wild rice species are well-nourished under the original cultivation techniques. The rice varieties produced here are evolved from the wild and have special genes. In addition, many local people have followed traditional primitive cultivation techniques for many years, applying cow dung to rice and adding artificial synthetic agents. Still adhering to the natural way, retain the original taste of food.

Therefore, the Wudaohezi rice has a reputation of “conscience” and “quality”. Although the output is limited, the outside world's understanding of it is still in the state of “still immersing in the face”, but in the local area, every household of every household cherishes the existence of these rice. In the words of a netizen, "I wanted to buy authentic Wudaohe rice, but I have to have friends and relatives with very close local relationships to buy it."

Unique cultural origin

The reason why Benxi Xiang Rice is recognized by many people is that it has a core reason that cannot be ignored. Its cultural origin is similar to that of the Korean nationality.

As is known to all, Koreans are mainly distributed in the three northeastern provinces, and they have their own unique food culture. Like to like spicy cabbage, cakes, cold noodles, miso soup, and other foods, many of which need to be supplemented with rice as a match. Not only do you like rice, but the Koreans are also good at making rice. The iron pots used to make rice are mostly deep, closed, and tightly sealed. They are heated and evenly heated to ensure that the rice grains are soft. The taste of the meal is pure.

In the Liaodong area, there is a restaurant sign that says “rice soup stewed fish”. They usually steam rice in the most traditional way. Said to be steamed, in fact, it is drain. Wash the rice clean, put it in a water pot and cook it with a big fire. Someone is stirring the rice soup. Due to the thinness of water and heat, the rice soup that is drained out is rich in vitamins such as B group, and the stewed fish is fresh and tender, and also has a rice scent.

In the northeast, the saying goes, "The wax is frozen and the chin is frozen." The frozen moon is frozen in the outdoor, and the big guy eats indoors in the oven. It is so lively.

Since the reform and opening up, local Korean youths have also chosen to work in South Korea. They are enthusiastic and clear, and they have a young and energetic attitude and do not forget to remember the ingenuity principles of their ancestors. Nowadays, Benxixiang Rice is behind the wide-ranging commercial phenomenon. Naturally, it also contains the Korean people's own "sharing" and "delivery" open spirit. The food is as warm as warm, some people share, happiness doubles, and sweetness doubles.

The more ordinary and simple ingredients, the more powerful the people are.

The film "Manchu Banquet" opened, the two chefs on the same stage will each have their own tricks. Xu Kezhen took the taste of the martial arts film. I still remember that the content that caused the two chefs to fight the law in the movie is the usual "white rice."

As the saying goes, "The clever woman is difficult to be without rice." With the development of the times, the user group of rice is no longer just a "smart woman" and a culinary worker.

With the development of the times in recent years, rice is no longer the concept of “food” that we are familiar with for war preparation and storage. From the basis of satisfying basic dietary functions to improving the quality of life, rice has also become the focus of today's new consumer groups.

In the past, rice consumers were concentrated in women and family members, and now there are two types of rising rice consumers: one is a high-end business group and the other is a youth consumer group.

In order to follow the rules of quality market, Benxi Xiangmi is constantly optimizing its brand operation, fashionable packaging, and the latest new products. From the product itself to brand marketing, it is undoubtedly more in line with the aesthetics and taste of young people.

Song Rendao: "Small pot of boiled vegetables on the steamed rice, the dishes cooked and fragrant people are hungry."

In the past, the pure joy contained only the appetite, and nowadays, for modern people, a meal, a vegetable, a bowl and a can are representative of our own way of life.
