Pancakes: When I first arrived in Rizhao, I saw everyone holding pancakes similar to "rags", and it was very difficult to "pull" them with their teeth. With pancakes in one hand and onions in the other, some people roll onions on pancakes and dip them in some sauce. Cooking pancakes is actually very simple. Look at the old ladies on the roadside in two cities. She will build a stove with a few bricks, set up a jiaozi, mix the batter, sit on a pony, spread a thin layer with a small scraper, and it will be fine in a short time!

Most of the fish eaten by Rizhao people are salted Spanish mackerel, salted hairtail and salted white phosphorus. When eating, cut the salted fish into small pieces, put it on a plate, spread some semi-fat lean meat, shredded ginger and shredded onion, then pour peanut oil on it and steam it in a steamer for 10 minute. Looking at it, it is yellow and white, and the color is elegant; Eat, although it is not as delicious as fresh fish, it is still fragrant!

Rizhao people like to eat small tofu, also called dregs and stew. There is a saying in the local area that "the rod is fried three times and the fish is not changed". The method is simple. Grind soybeans into "pods", take other rotten leaves such as Chinese cabbage leaves and radish tassels, or seasonal vegetables such as bitter vegetables and July 7th vegetables, cut them into thin slices, and cook them with the "pods". Of course, Rizhao is a small place after all, and Qingdao people are blessed. It is the seafood tofu made of sea cucumber, squid, clams, shrimps and chopped green onion that shows the advantages of small tofu to the fullest.

People in Rizhao like to eat grasshoppers, which are locusts. The fields of those two cities are full of its dancing shadows. When I was in Huatai, I stepped on a few in a hurry. Blanch the grasshopper with boiling water, put it in a pot and slowly bake it until it is brown and rotten. Add sesame oil, pepper noodles and salt and mix well. The grasshopper will give off an attractive fragrance, and there is a clear fragrance of grass in the crispness. Silkworm pupa is also a delicious food. Rizhao people are stupid. Baked silkworm chrysalis in a pot with oil, salt and seasoning is a good appetizer.

Rizhao people also eat insects such as Dendrolimus punctatus pupae, cicada larvae, scorpions and grasshoppers, as well as wild vegetables such as bitter vegetables, July 7th vegetables, shady vegetables, grey vegetables and broom vegetables. All this is because this place used to be too poor to eat anything. It used to be eaten secretly for fear of humiliation, but now it has become a common delicacy on the table.
