This traditional Shandong famous food also has a faithful love story.
On the bank of Xiami River in Yimeng Mountain, a smart and beautiful girl, Sister Huang, is congenial to a young man. One is not married to you, and the other is not married to you. Sister Huang's cunning and greedy stepmother, too poor to love the rich, secretly took money from rich people and promised to marry Sister Huang. Sister Huang refused to live or die. Seeing this scene, she set a deadly trap to let her Huang family review their lessons, and said that she would marry Huang Mei after her fame. Huang Mu said, "I have prepared a study and a Four Treasures of the Study for you. Do you need anything else? " Ma Liang said, "As long as there are books and pens, nothing else is needed." Hearing this, Huang Mu quickly said loudly to the slaves, "Did you hear that? He only needs paper and pen, and nothing else. He is really a good boy with ambition! " So Ma Liang moved into the study and buried himself in reading. Reading at noon, no one sent meals, and at night, no one sent meals, so Ma Liang had to go out of the study to see, but there was a domestic slave at the gate of the yard, and he was not allowed to go out, so Ma Liang had to go back to the study and so on. Until the moon sets, there is still no food Ma Liang suddenly realized that he had been taken in by Huang Mu: Huang Mu was so hungry that Ma Liang ran away, and then falsely accused him of stealing money and things, discrediting her reputation, thus making Huang Mei die for Ma Liang.
When Sister Huang found out, she was anxious and angry. He used his quick wits to brand a thin stack of white cakes, cut them into squares, and asked the maid to send them to Ma Liang. The domestic slave standing at the gate of the yard stopped: "The old lady has an order that only paper and pens are allowed." The maid replied, "It's paper feeding." When the domestic slave saw that it was a bundle of white paper, he let the servant girl enter the hospital. Ma Liang took these white papers and smelled only a faint scent. Look carefully, it turned out to be a cake! Ma Liang immediately had a full meal and admired Sister Huang's wit. With the White Paper, Ma Liang devoted himself to reading. Three days later, Huang's mother was even more annoyed when she saw that she was still quietly reading and writing, and told her slave to starve for another three days.
Sister Huang made up her mind on the word "pen". The green onions were peeled, cut and rooted like pens. The maid gave Ma Liang a bundle of pens. Seeing that it was a pen, the domestic slave had to let it go. Ma Liang is eating paper and pen and reviewing his lessons. His body is not thin, but his spirit is getting stronger and stronger. Three days later, Huang Mu heard the slave say: Ma Liang not only didn't run, but also was full of energy, reading books every day. Huang Mu didn't believe it at all: "Does he drink wind?" The domestic slave said, "It is better to eat paper and pens than to drink wind!" " "Huang's mother was very confused and asked the slaves to take her to see it. They sneaked out of the window of the study, punctured enough paper, and saw Ma Liang holding a paper roll and writing a pen, munching. Huang Mu really didn't believe there was such a miracle in the world, so she called Ma Liang to the principal's office and asked about it in detail. Of course, after Ma Liang suffered losses, she didn't tell the truth. Instead, she pretended to be serious and said, "When I was nine years old, a fairy teacher once taught me how to turn stones into gold. As long as I gently touch the paper and pen, it will become delicious food at once. However, Shi Xian also told me that I could only try once before I became famous. After I win the list, I can do whatever I want. " Hearing this, mother Huang was happy. With the help of the gods, Ma Liang will be a rich and expensive person in the future, so he changed his face and begged Ma Liang with a smile: "Dear husband, don't forget your mother-in-law at that time!" Ma Liang was angry and funny, and sarcastically said to Huang Mu, "Of course, of course, at that time, I will try my best to repay your kindness!" Hearing this, Huang Mu's eyes almost squinted, and he quickly told people to leave the rich family's marriage. From then on, she regarded Ma Liang as a guest of honor.
As expected, she won the first prize and took Sister Huang to Beijing. The husband and wife are still reliving the life of eating "paper" and "pen". This happy love story soon spread, and from then on, the way of eating scallion cakes spread among the people, and scallion cakes in Yimeng Mountain area became more and more famous. The women in that area are all good at technology, and people in that area like to eat, but there is one exception, that is, my mother-in-law refuses to make pancakes and green onions for her new son-in-law. It can be seen that a small food also fully reveals people's pursuit and yearning for truth, goodness and beauty!
The invention of pancakes
Legend has it that pancakes were invented by Zhuge Liang. At the beginning of Zhuge Liang's assistance to Liu Bei, there were many soldiers, who were often hunted by Cao Bing. He was once surrounded by Yihe River and Huihe River, and all the pots and pans were lost. However, the soldiers are hungry and sleepy. They can't cook. Zhuge Liang asked the cook to make slurry with water and corn flour, light the gold (gong), spread the rice slurry with a wooden stick and fry delicious pancakes. After eating, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. Since then, pancakes have spread in Shandong. ...
