Eating spring rolls in the spring is a traditional folk custom in China. Spring rolls, also known as pancakes, spring cakes and spring plates, have a long history of development and evolved from ancient spring cakes. They are very popular all over the country, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. They can be used for personal consumption as well as entertaining guests.
According to legend, there was a scholar in the Song Dynasty who studied hard all day for the exam and often forgot to eat and sleep. His wife tried to persuade him, but in vain. So she thought of a way to make rice into pancakes and roll them into tubes with meat stuffing, which can be eaten as both rice and vegetables. From then on, it was named Spring Roll, which became popular all over the country.
Putian spring rolls:
Spring rolls are delicious and fragrant, which is a unique flavor of Putian people. Cai Xiang, a famous person in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Thinking about Food during the Spring Festival", praising the delicacy of spring rolls.
According to legend, there was a scholar in Putian, Fujian Province in ancient times. Before becoming an official, he studied hard at a cold window for ten years and went to Beijing several times to catch the exam, all of which failed. Although he is over thirty and has a family and children, he still insists on studying poetry day and night, sometimes forgetting to eat and sleep. His wife loves him very much, in order not to let her husband affect his study because of three meals.
Just use wheat to grind into powder, put it in a pot and fry it in tea oil into a thin and transparent cake. She was worried that eating the wheat cake would hurt her stomach, so she put the cooked food in the wheat cake, then rolled it up and put it next to her husband for him to watch while eating.
