What is a steamed stuffed bun with top flowers? Just like we usually steam steamed buns, after kneading the buns into a circle, cover the roundest part with a flower divided into four petals. This flower is made of flour. The easiest way is to have two sides, each about two centimeters wide. If you put chopsticks in the middle, it will naturally become a flower. But this kind of flower is relatively simple and rough, and some of them are carved with their own knives, depending on whether you want to work hard or not.
These four flowers are put on the steamed bread, and a jujube is put on it. This is a flower steamed bun, which is actually a round steamed bun with a jujube on it.
The steamed buns are round with dates in the middle. When you are full, the dates in the middle are sandwiched on both sides, which is similar to the "vegetable cakes" usually made in rural areas, except that they are dates instead of vegetables.
In addition, this kind of steamed bread with flowers is generally for the married daughter-in-law to eat, not for use.
Second, the practice of jujube hill jujube hill is more complicated. This is too big, lying flat, and it looks like a mountain that goes up step by step. The practice is to make a large piece of noodles first, which is the bottom of jujube hill. Then put a fan pattern made of five noodles on it. Why not three or four? Because there are three ghosts and four gods in the countryside, three or four is not appropriate.
Here I want to talk about this mountain pattern, which is different from the mountain we usually imagine, that is, it has a bottom with noodles on it, and a jujube is placed on each corner, which is very big and cut when eating.
This jujube hill is for the world, in the most important place. For example, it is said that God will be invited after the New Year, and this jujube hill is placed in front of God.
In addition to jujube flowers and jujube hill, there is also a large jujube slice with complicated appearance. It is based on the whole face, with a completely different pattern from jujube hill and dates on it. This is also for the daughter and son-in-law.
Of course, you can eat it yourself. If you have a daughter and son-in-law, you must let them have the first bite when you go home on the second day of the second year.
Summary: In rural areas, there are not many people steaming this. In the past, the first family steamed every year, but now it is mostly steamed by some old people, and young people don't like it, let alone steamed. But we still have to say that jujube flowers and jujube hill are actually handed down from their ancestors, which has profound implications. However, the theme is food, and we don't read between the lines.
