2. Shanghai Tangyuan: Shanghai Tangyuan has a history of more than 70 years. In the old days, the earthen sand basin with spindle-shaped lines on the inner wall was used first, and then the hard pomegranate wood was used as a "ramming stick" to grind the pulp. Stir-fried dried beans, such as peanuts, sesame seeds or soybeans, are put into a sand basin and dried into powder. Finally, the cooked dumplings rolled around in the "fragrant sand", so the sticky dumplings were wrapped in fragrant sand, hence the name "rolling sand dumplings" Some restaurants regard it as a ready-to-eat snack, and what they want to eat is the fresh feeling of taking a bite of stuffing and spewing out like quicksand.
3. Appropriate fruit: Appropriate fruit is a traditional product in Shanghai pastry, and people often use "seven twists and eight bends" to describe its shape.

Therefore, the proper fruit production season is around the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year. ?
