This is a dish that was often eaten as a child. Most Chinese people are not very picky about what they eat (except for food safety issues, of course). However, almost everyone has some taste that they have been obsessed with for a lifetime. Dream system, but now I can’t find it anywhere. This "difficulty to find" may also be attributed to the fact that the ingredients on the market today have gradually become farther and farther away from nature, and it is difficult to return to it. Or maybe it's more about what happened at that time, and people at that time are already hazy in their memories.
At that time, when the time passed and we only had half of the broken ticket stubs left in our hands from those years, maybe what we could do was to flatten them. We do not cherish it for ourselves, but we want to spread it so that more people can taste the taste deep in our minds.
