Generations of attempts to cultivate traditional ethnic cuisine
This year, the popular drama "To a Windy Place" has once again made Dali, Yunnan a popular tourist destination in people's hearts. In addition to the beautiful scenery, the ancient town cuisine in the drama is also tempting.
In Eryuan County, Dali, Yunnan, the locals have had the habit of raising cows and fetching milk since ancient times. Boiling milk with shredded bait is also the most common breakfast for the locals. Yunnan belongs to the high-altitude mountainous terrain, with the vast majority of areas located in the middle altitude region. The climate combines the characteristics of low latitude, monsoon, and mountainous climate. Therefore, the local high-altitude milk has a unique feature, with a strong milk aroma and a natural and rich taste. Drinking it too much will not make you feel greasy, and there is no fishy smell, with a light sweet aftertaste. The high-quality milk source makes Yunnan's yogurt also of extremely high quality. The texture is smooth, the entrance is dense, and the taste is thicker than ordinary yogurt. The taste is moderate in acidity and sweetness, making it unforgettable.
When it comes to the cuisine of Dali, one cannot help but mention the famous name of Nuo Deng ham, which many people have already heard of in "China on the Tongue". Norden ham is rich in nutrients, with tender and oily meat that is not greasy. It has a strong aroma and a salty and sweet aftertaste, resembling a pipa. It has small bones, thin skin, thick flesh, and moderate fat and lean; Cutting open the section, the aroma is rich and the color is bright. The lean meat is bright red or rose colored, while the fat is milky white. The bones are slightly peach red, as if the blood is still nourishing. In the ancient village of Nodeng, large pieces of ham are often seen hanging high on the roof, and after months or even years of wind and sun exposure, the taste becomes even longer. In fact, the delicious taste of Norden ham is mainly attributed to the ancient salt well in Norden Ancient Town. Local people believe that sea salt is not healthy enough, and Norden salt, which is rich in potassium, is more suitable for their taste and can also add color to the ham.
In addition to Yunnan ham, traditional festive foods such as Yunnan preserved meat, sausages, preserved geese, and preserved chicken are also essential in the New Year's goods of Shanghai citizens. Preserved meat is one of the traditional foods loved by Chinese people and has a long history in China. As early as the Han Dynasty, there were records of "Roufu" and "cured meat" in the "Zhou Li" and "Zhou Yi".
Every winter, almost every household in Huaning County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province starts making cured meat, and the local specialties are traditional five spice cured meat and sesame flavored sausages. It is reported that the most important thing to make excellent bacon is to choose the fat and thin, soft taste streaked pork, cut the selected high-quality streaked pork into strips, pour a small amount of Baijiu for sterilization, and then put in a proper amount of salt, pepper powder, star anise powder to wipe well, and pickle in the container. Unlike cured meat, sausages should choose lean and chewy hind leg, foreleg, or waist meat. They should be divided and cut in a ratio of 3:7 between fat and lean meat, then seasoned and marinated. The clean casing should be prepared, and the meat should be poured into the filling machine. In a few seconds, a sausage should be filled, tied with a thin rope, and then a fine needle should be gently inserted into the sausage to release excess gas. After more than 10 days, the naturally dried cured meat sausage can be ready to serve. Just fry it in oil, the cured meat is soft and delicate, and the sausage is chewy, leaving a lasting impression.

The mushroom meat is white, tender, and thick, with a fine texture and a strong special aroma.
Chicken Zong, also known as Chicken Zong, Chicken Pine, Chicken Foot Mushroom, Ant Zong, etc., is a delicious mountain delicacy. Its meat is plump and sturdy, with a fine and white texture.

"Ecological Tree" Transforms into "Money Shaker Tree"
Mushroom is popular because it not only has a delicious taste, but also has nutritional value. Nuts are also considered a health fruit by Yunnan people.
Lincang is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, named after its proximity to the Lancang River. The Lancang River flows through Lincang from north to south, nurturing the vibrant vitality and industrial vitality of "green mountains and clear waters are like mountains of gold and silver". Lincang City receives over 2100 hours of sunshine throughout the year, making it a preferred location for growing nuts.
30 years ago, a Australian nut seed drifted across the sea from Australia to Lincang, Yunnan. After years of breeding, domestication, expansion, and promotion, the city's planting area has reached 2.63 million acres, making it the world's largest producer of Australian nuts. In 2018, the government officially approved the implementation of geographical indication registration and protection for agricultural products in "Lincang nuts". Australian nuts were named after Lincang and became a symbol of Lincang's agricultural products.
According to testing and comparative analysis, multiple indicators of Lincang nuts are higher than international standards. Due to the excellent and unique quality of Lincang nuts, they have gradually been recognized and loved by domestic and foreign consumers, and have broad market prospects. After years of development, the product has expanded from simply using dried fruit kernels as food to utilizing fruit oil, fruit oil meal, and fruit shells, and has developed high value-added products such as health food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The green and healthy industry of Lincang nuts has brought considerable economic and ecological benefits, greatly promoting the increase of farmers' income and promoting rural revitalization. In 2022, the output of dried shell nuts in Lincang was 78000 tons, with a comprehensive output value of 5.436 billion yuan, and the per capita income of fruit farmers increased by 2945 yuan.
