　　　　Sunken Dry is a small corner of Huer Village, located in the town center of Hutou. According to Li Qingli, Party Branch Secretary of Huer Village, this area is a river floodplain with deep soil layers, mostly composed of silt and sandy soil rich in nutrients. Coupled with abundant sunlight, and an absence of strong winds, frost, or snow, these factors together create ideal conditions for growing coriander.

　　 The Qianlong Dingchou Edition of the "Annals of Anxi County" records: “Coriander, also known as hu sui, is the same as xing qu. It benefits the heart and spleen, reaches the limbs, and dispels foul odors. For those with slow-developing measles or rashes, rubbing it on the skin will help them emerge quickly. Hanging it at the head of a child’s bed helps ward off harmful qi.”

　　 When enjoying Hutou chicken rolls, be sure to pair them with a dish of Sunken Dry coriander, drizzled with Yongchun aged vinegar. The aroma is irresistible, stimulating the appetite and making it hard to put down your chopsticks.
