Nine-layer rice husk is a classic local snacks synthesized from nine layers of rice pulp with different colors. It takes rice and glutinous rice as raw materials, grinds them into rice slurry and divides them into nine equal parts. Add appropriate amount of white sugar and its edible pigment (the first layer is red, the second layer is light yellow, and the third layer is original white, until it is repeated to nine layers). Therefore, there are nine floors in total, hence the name nine floors. Its manufacturing method is to put the gauze on the bottom of the steamer, put the first layer of material on it, and then put it on the second layer until it is half-cooked, until the ninth layer. After steaming, cooling and cutting into diamonds, not only the appearance is peculiar and elegant, but also the taste is moist and delicate. It tastes crisp and sweet, and is most suitable for children and the elderly. It is a unique snack in Daejeon. According to local customs, this nine-story nest is specially designed for the Double Ninth Festival. Double Ninth Festival is an important festival in China since the Han Dynasty. This festival mainly has two connotations: one is the custom of taking refuge; The second is the custom of ascending to heaven and becoming immortal. The so-called energy avoidance means that there is a disaster on September 9, and the world must go up the mountain to avoid it. For this story, see the book "Continuation of the Harmony of Qi" in the Southern Dynasties: "Runan Huan Jing, studied under Fei Changfang for many years. The long room said,' On September 9th, there should be a disaster in your home. You should go at once and let your home make a red bag, hold dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine. This disaster can be eliminated. As Jing Ru Yan said, he climbed mountains with his family and went home at night. He saw chickens, dogs, cows and sheep suddenly die. Hearing this, the long side said,' Take its place.' "

Second, the characteristic staple food in southern Fujian: sweet potato powder.

Why do you say this is a staple food with Minnan characteristics, because Minnan is rich in sweet potatoes, that is, sweet potatoes. Sweet potato powder, as its name implies, is made of sweet potato powder, so it has a dark color. The word "pot" vividly reveals the fact that it contains rice paste.

In addition to delicious taste, sweet potato powder jelly has a beautiful legend-delicious to see the children off. According to legend, Hong Chaoxuan (a famous historical figure in Xiamen and a native of Xiang 'an) was ordered to go to his post when he was admitted to the Jinshi examination in the spring. It happened that his hometown was preparing for the March Festival (the third day of the third lunar month), and his mother asked him to leave after the festival. But he was afraid of being late, so he hurriedly grabbed a few handfuls of sweet potato powder from his granary, mixed it with porridge and water, stirred it into a paste, fried it into thin sweet potato skin, cut it into strips and cooked it into a bowl of delicious sweet potato powder. Hong Chao chose to leave home and ate the sweet potato powder made by her mother. He felt particularly cordial. Later, Hong Chaoxuan became a senior official and returned to his hometown. The villagers set a table to congratulate them, but Hong Chaoxuan didn't find any sweet potato powder. When asked, the villagers were stunned because they didn't prepare this dish at all. They think that when Hong Chao is elected as a senior official, where will he want to eat coarse grains in his hometown? So, everyone quickly got ready. Before long, steaming sweet potato powder was served. Hong Chao chose to eat and said, "The sweet potato powder in my hometown is delicious!" From then on, the first dish for Xiamen Xiang 'an Hongcuo to entertain guests was sweet potato powder. This ancestral custom has not only become the habit of local people, but also spread to some overseas Chinese.

Method for making crispy rice with sweet potato powder-Cook porridge with rice, mix it with sweet potato powder, put it in a stone mortar, knead the rice and sweet potato powder together, then add water, adjust it to a proper consistency, then fry it into a pancake skin in an iron pan and cut it into vermicelli with a width of two centimeters. When cooking, add enough oil, Shanghai oysters, cuttlefish and shrimp, and sprinkle some chopped green onion or celery on the surface.

Third, a batch of cultural snacks.

Masuo is a traditional folk snack in Wuyishan, but it contains historical and cultural flavor. It was called "sesame rice" in the early days. On the north side of Tianyou Peak in Wuyishan, there is a stream called Humajian. According to legend, in the pre-Qin period, thirteen immortals, including Wu Yijun, Huang Taimu and Wei Wangziqian, held a curtain pavilion banquet on the Man Ting Peak to entertain the people in Wuyishan Village, and started the mountain. In addition to delicacies, there is also a delicious food at the banquet, which is a gift from the villagers, and that is sesame rice. At that time, people in Wuyishan village knew how to use stone tools to process rice-based food. People in Wuyishan village have to sacrifice to the society twice a year. Does the Spring Society "pray" for good weather? And the golden autumn society "reported" to repay the harvest.

In autumn harvest, people in rural areas celebrate the harvest with sesame seeds. They steamed the glutinous rice, put it in a stone mortar and beat it with a wooden pestle. The rice is completely crushed into glutinous rice. Then fry and crush sesame seeds, knead the mashed glutinous rice into a small ball and roll it in sesame powder. This is how delicious flax rice is made. It is said that the Thirteen Immortals of Wuyi ate sesame rice at a banquet in Man Ting Pavilion, and they were all surprised. So they're in Humajian? God bless the north wind? The area has been opened up for planting sesame seeds in mountainous areas, and rice fields have been opened up at the foot of Beifeng Mountain. And after the autumn harvest every year, we have to cook sesame rice among friends. The tradition of cooking sesame rice has been passed down, and now it is called beating sesame.
