Sad bean jelly is a special snack located in Luodai Town, Longquanyi District, which is located in Guangdong Guild Hall and has a branch opposite. At the same time, there are snacks such as Happy Ice Powder, Grandma's Cold Cake and Mom's Cold Noodles.
It is said that it is named because "everyone who eats it will be so hot that they will cry." The seasoning is bright in color, the bean jelly is refreshing and tender, and the millet pepper is powerful, which really makes people "a tear and a snot" and "the more they eat, the more sad they are". Be sure to have another bowl of "sweet" happy ice powder "to dissolve". It is recommended to go to the Guangdong Guild Hall, sit in the "antique" yard and watch the waiter bring bean jelly with a bamboo dustpan, which is very western Sichuan style.
■ Sad bean jelly "has two solutions: one is the bean jelly made by Guangdong Hakka people who lived in Luodai town when they were in Huguang and filled in Sichuan, and they were sad because of missing, so they got their name; Second, it means that the bean jelly is bald and spicy, and people who eat bean jelly will be tearful and tearful, and others think they have encountered something sad. I don't know what the basis is, at least now Hakka people in Guangdong won't eat bean jelly with such a strong taste. I like it later. It's fun.
In the past, I always thought that the bean jelly cold noodles in Chengdu were relatively crude and tasted worse than those in Guiyang, but after eating "sad bean jelly", this view was completely changed. Bean jelly and cold noodles are nothing more than seasoning. "Sad" used fresh rice pepper, which was fragrant, spicy and a little sweet. The amount of one bowl was very small, only a few, which was similar to the amount of Thai rice noodles. If you are a diners, it is estimated that ten bowls will not come down.
There are two kinds of bean jelly, which are hot and cold at the same time. Peanut bean jelly tastes so mushy that I don't like it. Personally, I think both kinds of bean jelly are not as good as cold noodles.
"Sad bean jelly" is very interesting, but "Happy bean jelly" is a bit deliberate and melodramatic, although it is refreshing to eat "sad" and then "happy".
It's really spicy, but my tears are not spicy. I'm sure I'll miss you to tears when I get to Beijing. Therefore, my interpretation of "sad bean jelly" is: bean jelly that is sad only when you can't eat it.
