Mr. Tran Van Hai from Lang Son said that for the past few years, his family has specialized in purchasing, preliminarily processing and refining all kinds of cake wrapping leaves. In the past, people only took bamboo to make their house, cook, make firewood, make cakes and leave the leaves behind. But in the past few years, fresh bamboo leaves have been picked up by many people, bought and sold to traders who export to Taiwan for 10,000 VND/kg fresh bamboo leaves and 40,000 VND/kg dried bamboo leaves. Eight degree bamboo leaves are purchased and exported to Taiwan Đài “Myself and my family never thought that bamboo leaves could be sold abroad. It was not until a contact to buy bamboo leaves for traditional cake packages in Taiwan made me know that bamboo leaves could be sold and exported to foreign countries. From there, my family went to get bamboo leaves to sell. When the collection is not enough, hire more workers and advertise online to buy bamboo leaves in other localities in any quantity, “said Mr. Hai. According to Mr. Hai, with fresh bamboo leaves, he buys them for 7,000-10,000 VND/kg. As for dried bamboo leaves, he buys them for 35,000-40,000 VND/kg. All must be octagonal bamboo leaves (also known as Buong). The weights of bamboo leaves are purchased to ensure the quality criteria, the leaves must be large, not torn, still green and absolutely not yellow. Each leaf is about 38-40cm long, 8cm wide or more. “Bamboo is very different from ordinary bamboo leaves. They are much larger in size. When bought, fresh bamboo leaves will be exposed to the sun for about 2 days. The leaves are then counted and clamped onto a bamboo stick. At this time, dry clean, bring bamboo leaves into the oven to dry and then sort and pack,” Hai said. The bamboo leaves that are completely cleaned by natural and chemical-free methods will be exported to Taiwan to be used as packaging materials for cakes, food packages, etc., and are loved by the people of this country due to its taste delicious and long lasting. “The type of cake that the Taiwanese side often wraps with bamboo leaves is like Vietnamese chung cake. However, because it is wrapped with bamboo leaves, the cake has a characteristic aroma. In addition, the type of cake wrapped from this leaf is very easy to peel, keeps for a long time and does not go stale as quickly as seaweed and banana leaves. From the end of April to October of the solar calendar every year is the autumn to buy eight degrees of bamboo leaves. Therefore, many personal facebook groups go to groups to sell and buy fresh and dried bamboo leaves in unlimited quantities. There, the atmosphere was jubilant because many bamboo growers in different places asked about the purchase price as well as the instructions for collecting and transporting fresh and dried bamboo leaves. For long-term business cooperation, all establishments that register to sell fresh and dried bamboo leaves Mr. Hai come to the place to collect and check. “I have to go down to the place to instruct the individual establishments that collect bamboo leaves to ensure that the leaves are not torn, beautiful green color and especially large. Come to the place to see the specific item once. Next time, they just do that, then I decide to buy, avoid wasting both parties’ time, “he said. Currently in Yen Bai, Bac Giang, Thanh Hoa, Soc Son – Hanoi… there are a lot of people growing bamboo and poplar trees. They only use the tree and leave the leaves empty. Therefore, he went to teach how to collect leaves and now they become agents, helping his establishment to buy fresh and dried bamboo leaves up to a few kilos/day in the locality.

The shop only sells salty sticky rice, the main ingredients include: sticky rice, sausages and cotton balls. Besides, there is also onion fat and fried onions to create aroma and round taste. Where the onion fat sells, the shop will make it there because it’s ready-made, the fresh onion leaves will turn yellow and lose the characteristic pungent smell. Another plus point is that the shop also sprinkles crushed peanuts, creating a strange taste because salty sticky rice is rarely used by people. Soy sauce added to sticky rice is also mixed according to the traditional recipe. Another interesting thing is the unique way of eating sticky rice. Here, sticky rice will be wrapped in fresh banana leaves into long rolls like Tet cakes. Where customers eat, they tear banana leaves there. Never use a spoon.

However, due to being wrapped in bamboo leaves, the cake has a characteristic aroma. In addition, the wrapped cake from this leaf is easy to peel, leaves for a long time and not as fast as seaweed and banana leaves ”. From the end of April to October of the solar calendar every year is the autumn season to buy bamboo leaves. Therefore, many personal Facebook pages go to groups to sell and purchase fresh and dried bamboo leaves with unlimited quantity. There, the atmosphere was ruffled by many bamboo growers in places asking for the purchase price as well as the specifications for the collection and transportation of the fresh and dried bamboo leaves. For long-term business cooperation, all establishments that register to sell fresh and dried bamboo leaves, Mr. Hai, come to collect and check them. “I have to go down to the site to instruct the facilities that the individual collects bamboo leaves to ensure the leaves are not torn, beautiful green and especially big. On-site to view specific items once. Next time, they just do that, then I decide to buy, to avoid wasting time on both sides, ”he said. At present, in Yen Bai, Bac Giang, Thanh Hoa, Soc Son – Hanoi … there are many people growing bamboo and rattan. They just use the tree and the leaves leave it. Therefore, he came to guide the collection of leaves and now they become agents, helping his establishment to buy fresh, dried bamboo leaves up to a few quintals / day in the locality.

The Muong’s tray The weather in Nghia Lo is very strange this season, a day consists of all 4 seasons. Spring weather in mountainous regions was cold, making that morning field steps even more eager. Around through the cool green rice mat, a complex of 2 long stilt houses appeared. It is the house of Ms. Ha Thi Chinh’s family in the village of Diem 2, Nghia An commune. Ms. Chinh is also the chef of a culinary restaurant, holding in hand the secrets of creating unique dishes, bringing the breath of the land and people of the Northwest. We gathered to watch her processing the moss. After being cleaned, the moss is cut into pieces and mixed together with spices such as pasta, soup powder, herbs such as cumin, onions, dog basil, lemongrass, ginger, and sprouts … Next she packs the moss into leaves. bananas then put on the stove to grill embers slowly. About 1 hour, the moss ripe, bring up a hot plate. The grilled moss that day had a natural sweet taste, was very strange and cool. No wonder it is something that cannot be ignored when tourists go to the Northwest. Besides grilled, steamed moss is also very delicious. Ms. Chinh said that the moss is steamed in a pot but does not add water, simmer it to allow the moss to drain and ripen. While making moss, Ms. Chinh looks after a large rice bowl cooking in the middle of the yard. It was strange that when I opened the pot, under the smoky smoke I saw the sticky “cutting boards” of green, red, purple, yellow … separated by layers of banana leaves. All colors of sticky rice are derived from plants, taken from flowers and plants. The finished sticky rice dish has 5 different colors, so it is called “five colors” sticky rice. Red color is taken from the leaves of the red rice plant (Khau Lanh tree); yellow color from crushed turmeric, or from Bop Phon flower (yellow sticky flower); Purple and Black palate leaves are processed. Green color is taken from the leaves of star fruit tree, wild pineapple, sugarcane, gerbera leaves, ginger leaves … but must be mixed together. The leaves are crushed in a stone mortar, then boil the residue, filtered to get water into 4 different pots. Paddy rice has long and flexible seeds, taken from Lao sticky rice, grown by the Mong people in Tram Tau and Mu Cang Chai districts. The rice is soaked for at least 3 hours in 4 pots of colored water above, the longer it is soaked, the more flexible the sticky rice is, then poured each type of rice that has caught the color on the wooden wooden board, separated from each other by layers of banana leaves. Boil sticky rice just over fire, about 40 minutes is fine. Lunch tray of Thai Nghia Lo people Xoi served with “Pa Pinh Tat” – (that is, grilled fish is twice as much as the tail). The fish are brought back, cleaned, pecked from the back, discarded the intestines, prepared to reduce the pieces and then chopped, mixed well, stuffed into the fish’s body, grilled with a grill, or a bamboo clip on the charcoal stove for about 1 hour. to ripen to be delicious. The rice tray for Thai guests on average has from 5 to 6 dishes, containing the philosophies according to the human life of the people here, as well as the tonic for the body in addition to nutritional value. For example, if there is a Korean dish, there must be a heat dish to balance yin and yang. In particular, in Thai food, spice seeds are indispensable – a kind of forest seed only available in the Northwest with a fragrant aroma after grilling and pounding. This nut has the function of “odor indicator”, which is the number 1 important reduction in many dishes, dipping foods. That lunch in addition to “Pa PinhTop”, bamboo-shaped blue-fish, grilled insect plate, including rake, stink bugs, bee pupae …, also a bowl of bonito soup, was introduced as a “traditional trick” . The Thai Nghia Lo people have a saying: “Nao kin bon, thun kin pi” (that means, eat bon soup in cold, eat banana flowers in the heat – PV). Ms. Chinh said that the sweet potato plant grows wild, when picking leaves, one must read a “spell” to “turn into soup”, otherwise it will itchy when eating. The way of processing carbon soup is also quite sophisticated. Take home, wash, cut into pieces and mix with other types of discount such as Chinese coriander, cumin, cumin, ginger, lemongrass, squash, amaranth, eggplant, eggplant, shrimp paste, or soy sauce. Do not stir the bon broth when cooking, or only one side of the pot should be stirred and it must be simmered until the bon is over. A very special kind of food dish of Thai people, it is a sour, sweet “clumping” soup that helps to relieve alcohol. The way to make this kind of soup is also quite sophisticated. First to filter the beef feet, buffalo feet to get skin and tendons, remove the bones, then chopped, simmered and seasoned, sprinkle rice flour on the soup, stir well, chopped the leaves and then put them in the pot for about 5 minutes to Next nine, about to eat new. Carefully nibbling a lumpy tendon in his mouth. Ms. Ha Thi Chinh discussed with reporters During the meal, the landlord advised us to dab the sticky rice with a very strange dipping recipe, called “simmering”. Materials made from soybean seeds, boiled seeds, picked out leaves and wrapped, put upstairs in the kitchen for 5-6 days to ferment. When hanging up the kitchen, it is absolutely forbidden to cook all kinds of firewood with smell, especially burning and baking the buffalo skin underneath because it will damage the soy sauce. Next, bring the soy sauce down the mortar, crush it, make it into small pieces, wrap it in hairy leaves (like eggplant, white eggplant) so as not to rot, then put the kitchen guard to dry naturally. When eating, bring the soy sauce to grill and mix with the seeds, garlic, coriander leaves, grilled chili … into the perfect food for sticky rice, boiled meat, vegetables and fruits. This is the best dish of Thai people. In Nghia An commune, there are 2 old people who make this dish very delicious. The Thai people in the Northwest have quite a high alcohol intake. Having partyed, or met or met, there is indispensable cup of wine. The Thai girls are healthy and youthful with silver buttons, leggings, black skirts, wine cans and cups in hand. They both offered wine and sang: “This wine, I invite you, drinking from the beginning of the village at the end of the village is still fragrant. One cup of fragrant wine is like a thousand cups, for years, the wine is still fragrant, fragrant with your love”. There have been cases where guests panic because of the welcome cup, off the cup, they jumped from the window to the yard to “hide” the wine. Near the end is when the show begins. The girls who blocked us on the stairs of the stilt house to offer wine before, turned into dancers, performed ancient Thai dance such as “Khâm praise” (hand spread round); “Khap towels to open hot pot” (lift towels to invite wine); “Ripper” (circle of applause); “Destroying” (dancing for 4 people); “Falling kisses” (spread forward and backward); “Aluminum khan” (tossed scarf) … After the broadcast, the girls switched to perform the songs “Xin Le” and “Ha Oh” … Turn national customs and cuisine into tourism products Explaining the position of Thai cuisine in the local tourism economy, the director of Nghia Lo Town Culture and Communication Center Nguyen Viet Chung said that, according to the epic Quam To Muong, Muong Lo is the ancestral land of the people. Thai in Vietnam and neighboring countries. The mainstream folk culture in this land is the customs and habits of living with folk songs, folk music, folk dance … of the Thai people. Processing moss In which, traditional cuisine is a very unique culture that has been “packaged” into a typical tourism product with high economic value. Currently, there are about 20 homestay businesses owned by Thai people, providing services from eating, staying, taking tourists to visit the sights in the Muong Lo basin area, to experience making dishes, transplanting rice, harvesting agricultural products. Guests are immersed in the lives of people, cultural and cultural exchanges, so they are very interested.
