Chinese rural food is very attractive. Frozen pears, wild mushrooms, Qingming Ba, baked sweet potatoes and Sophora japonica cakes are recommended.

1. Frozen pears

In winter in the north, everything can be frozen. Frozen pear is one of the three treasures of frozen fruit in Northeast China. As the name implies, it is the frozen pear. Frozen pear in Northeast China is usually frozen with flower-covered pear or apple pear. The flower-covered pear is yellow before freezing, and its taste before freezing is poor, with large particles and thick skin.

most of the frozen pears in northwest Gansu are soft pears, also called perfume pears. Soft pear is a big variety, which can be piled directly under the outdoor wall, covered with grass curtains and frozen naturally. Pear, such as hanging egg pear, needs to be tied with hemp rope one by one, and then hung in a cold room and naturally frozen.

2. Wild mushrooms

In the countryside, we could see many wild mushrooms with different looks, sizes and tastes everywhere. Every year from June to August to the end of August, this time is the best time to eat fresh wild mushrooms. Every spring and summer, there are many kinds of mushrooms in rural mountains, which grow in fields and dense forests, and some grow under roots. Some of these mushrooms are edible, while others are inedible.

wild mushrooms are basically fried, mushrooms are fried with meat, and there is the famous chicken stewed mushrooms.

3. Qingming Baba

Qingming Baba is a food custom in Tomb-Sweeping Day, which is cooked by almost every household here. Qingming Baba is to boil water with leaves of wormwood, then filter the water, squeeze the juice dry, put it in a rice sieve and knead it repeatedly into rice flour, and then add the rice flour into rice slurry to knead it into rice cake.

glutinous rice and wormwood juice are mixed together and steamed in a large pot. After cooling, the glutinous rice balls will become big, round and golden in color, and taste soft, fragrant and delicious.

4. Baked sweet potatoes

When I was young, I liked to dig sweet potatoes in the ground. After digging them out, they were even covered with soil and mud, and then they were directly roasted in the fire. After they were cooked, they were scraped out with a wooden stick, peeled off the burnt skin, and the baked sweet potatoes were crispy. The inside was soft and waxy, and they were roasted with direct current oil. They were too hot to burn their mouths and enjoyed the delicious food.

Now there are also baked sweet potatoes on the street, but they can't taste the taste of their own baking when they were young.

5. Sophora japonica cake

Sophora japonica cake is a common traditional snack in northern China. Sophora japonica is fragrant and sweet, sweet in mouth and fragrant in mouth. There are Sophora japonica trees everywhere in the countryside. Every time the flowers bloom, people in the village will pick fresh Sophora japonica flowers to make cakes!
