非遺小吃 最重慶的味道

楊艷

重慶自古物產豐富，食材多樣，巴渝大地人員往來頻繁，也帶來了飲食的多元化。勤勞的重慶人民創造了極具巴渝地域色彩和民俗風情的地方小吃，就地取材造就的美食，反映了當地的物質文化及社會生活風貌，是在外游子牽掛的鄉愁滋味，也是游客了解一座城市最地道的載體。

重慶不僅有豪放熱辣的火鍋文化，還有燦若群星的小吃文化，幾乎每個區縣都擁有自己獨特的地方小吃。萬州有一碗津津有味的雜醬面，身在武陵山區的酉陽人鐘愛一口土家族油茶湯，豐都人引以為傲的是麻辣雞塊，黔江人的心頭好是一碗綠豆粉……從食物原料到制作方式，融入非遺技藝的地方特色小吃體現了重慶豐富的飲食文化，更體現了重慶人對于美食的熱愛。

“種撒白露間，移栽寒露田。經冬蘊采厚，春獲翡翠千。習風送露走，腌榨土窖壇。育得百味長，開壇萬家香。”世代相傳的詩句形象地反映了涪陵榨菜從“種下去”到“端上來”的過程。涪陵榨菜的手藝人執著地在寸碟天地間，堅守著以誠為本的匠人精神。120多年來，一碟碟榨菜從最初長江兩岸百姓餐桌上的佐餐小食，演變成中國人餐桌上的“國民下飯菜”。

早在2008年，涪陵榨菜傳統制作技藝就被列入國家級非物質文化遺產名錄。1915年，首屆“巴拿馬—太平洋國際博覽會”在美國舊金山舉行，中國涪陵榨菜榮獲金獎，從此蜚聲中外。1970年在法國舉行的世界醬香菜評比會上，涪陵榨菜更是與德國甜酸甘蘭、法國酸黃瓜被并稱為世界三大名腌菜。

永川區以生產豆豉而聞名，素有“豆豉之鄉”的美稱。永川豆豉生產工藝起源于永川家庭作坊，已有300多年的歷史。豆豉是大豆煮熟后，經過幽閉發酵而成。將一粒豆豉放進嘴里，輕輕咬破，豆豉在舌齒的摩擦力作用下迅速融化，香氣濃郁，滋味鮮美。

合川桃片是重慶市合川區傳統名點之一，始創于1840年。桃片用上等糯米、核桃仁、白砂糖、蜜玫瑰等原料精制而成。特點為口感細潤、綿軟，片薄、色潔白、味香甜，突出濃郁的桃仁、玫瑰香味。1917年曾在巴拿馬萬國博覽會上榮獲金獎。其制作工藝于2007年5月被列入首批重慶市級非物質文化遺產名錄。

黔江區的濯水綠豆粉歷史悠久，是當地人早餐、夜宵必不可少的美食。原料由粳稻米、黃豆和綠豆按一定比例配制而成，制作過程講究“泡、磨、烙、燙”四道工序，因其制作工藝簡單、便捷，口感香軟、爽口，在黔江就成了一道大眾化的美食。

在彭水，香、甜、酥、脆的郁山搟酥餅，至今已有兩百多年的歷史，搟酥餅技藝已被列入重慶市級非物質文化遺產名錄。其配料精致，采用上等的面粉、飴糖、芝麻、黃豆、桂花、陳皮等原料，經手工精制而成，屬于純天然的健康食品。有名人食后曰：“食盡江南珍饈味，始知郁鎮有搟酥。”

豐都麻辣雞塊的起源最早可追溯到唐宋時期，色澤紅亮鮮香，香味濃郁四溢，味道麻辣鮮甜，入口肉質勁道而細嫩，榮獲“重慶老字號”“中華名小吃”“重慶名小吃”等稱號。如今，借助電商，豐都麻辣雞塊已暢銷國內、遠銷海外。

此外，以美食為主的民俗活動也成為了市級非遺項目，比如，秀山的社飯制作與分享習俗，彭水的土家族三道席傳統習俗，萬盛的茶樹紅苗長桌宴……都極具地域特色，承載著濃濃的鄉愁。

對于老重慶人來說，這些美食是一種舌尖記憶，它體現著巴渝市井風情，蘊含著百姓的無限情思。來重慶，嘗一口當地人用一輩子守候的味道，或許更能體會美味的重慶生活。
