Plenty of delicious dishes can tell different revolutionary stories, which drew great attention in Shazhou Village, Rucheng County, Chenzhou City on May 19.
Golden pancakes were laid on the clean straw in the shape of a half quilt, which came from a warm story: when three female Red Army soldiers stayed in Xu Xiexiu's house, they cut off half of the quilt they had and left it for the old man before leaving. The old man said, what was a Communist Party member like? He was the man who would cut half of the quilt for the people even if he had only one.
The meat jelly, a paper-like specialty of Rucheng County, was just like a loan receipt written by the Red Army soldiers for villagers when they had to borrow grain from the villagers.
Ginger and pepper are the specialties of Rucheng County. In Chinese, "Ginger" and "pepper" mean that there are so many courageous and pioneering martyrs who sacrifice themselves for the people and the country.
A simple dish tells a red story, which integrates the traditional dishes into the local red culture, gaining much praise among the tourists.
