The jingle of compressed steamed buns is: compressed steamed buns: compressed steamed buns, compressed steamed buns. Children eat it to get into college (the word "xue" is read in dialect and rhymes with it), and adults eat it and work better.
The most noteworthy thing is that since it is compressed, it is equivalent to dry food. From the appearance, the compressed steamed bun is actually an out-and-out pancake.
Secondly, the price is not expensive. As a native of Huaiyang, I still clearly remember that when Huaiyang’s sesame cakes became one yuan each, compressed steamed buns were still about 50 cents.
The key is that if you buy more, the price will get cheaper. Therefore, anyone who has been in the compressed bun business for a long time knows that the profits in this industry are not very high.
If you have the opportunity to visit the February Meeting in Huaiyang, you will find that when the sun goes down and go home, almost every attendee will be carrying a whole bag of compressed buns in their hands.
Compressed steamed buns can be stored for a relatively long time. Choose a cool and ventilated place, and the scenery will not deteriorate in half a year. If the young man eats one, he is sure to fill his stomach.
In addition, the compressed buns taste very good. The freshly baked compressed buns are neither dry nor woody, and are slightly soft, making them easy to chew. Not inferior to the famous Guokui.
Because it contains white sugar, the sweetness after the compressed buns are in your mouth is very pleasant. Miraculously, this sweetness cannot replace the aroma of noodles. The result is a sweet and fragrant situation.
Huaiyang people eat compressed steamed buns in a very crude way. Just grab the chili sauce, pickles, and rice porridge. If you are not afraid of trouble, you can stir-fry one more dish, that will be enough.
Unfortunately, due to work reasons, I have not been to February Club for many years, and eating compressed steamed buns has become a dream. I just heard that the types of compressed buns have become more abundant.
Every time I mentioned it to my colleagues, they would smile evilly and say, "Look at how useless you are. Since it is such a good thing, why didn't we know about it? It's just you being sentimental."
Really, I really don’t know how to answer such a question. Could it be that in the eyes of others, he is at best a temple fair snack?
It must be admitted that with the improvement of living standards and the openness and transparency of information, special snacks and specialties in many places have been thoroughly discovered and become popular.
However, Huaiyang’s compressed steamed buns remain the norm. It is really a pity to always be based in Huaiyang and radiate to the surrounding areas and even the whole of Henan.
