1. "Octagonal Cake Cake"

I don't know if that kind of cake belongs to the same family as the so-called "Crock Cake" in Nantong, but looking at the introduction of Cake Cake on the Internet, It is very similar to the "octagonal cake" in my memory.

The characteristics of octagonal cake are: golden color, crispy outer shell, soft inner layer, economical and affordable. Take a bite and click! ~

A crisp sound accompanied by layers of crispy cake crumbs falling down. Quickly catch the falling cake layers with your other hand, put it into your mouth, and keep your hands busy

It was a great pleasure, and my heart was filled with joy. The satisfaction and intoxication on the face of the eater makes others look envious and eager to try it.

I don’t know if the cakes baked in oil cylinders at roadside stalls now are the same octagonal cakes I used to have in my childhood.

They look very similar. .

2. "Lai Nian Tang"

"Knock...Lai Nantang..., knock...Lai Nantang..." Accompanied by this seductive voice , all the young guys on the street gathered around him.

In the round tin box, a whole piece of candy is lying quietly, wearing a white dress (I guess the layer of white powder

It is starch or something like that) The children's eager eyes stared intently at the candy in the box.

The children who came to their senses quickly picked up the scrap metal, scrap oil paper, etc. they had just found from home, and exchanged them for candy with the candy maker.

The kind of candy called "Lai sticky candy" can only be exchanged but not sold.

The master picked up the chips used to exchange for sugar, weighed them carefully, then took a small piece of tin and marked the size that should be struck

Gently tap one end of the chips. Press it on the sugar, use a small hammer to gently tap the top of the iron sheet, pop, a piece of sticky candy comes off, leaves the whole body, and puts it into the child's hand, and then immediately puts it into the mouth. The bark is very irritating, and sometimes it sticks to the teeth and won't come off no matter what.

Sticky, this is what you get.

At that time, making sticky candies seemed to be both a pastime and an entertainment. I would often pester the master and say, “Just a little more, a little more.”

A little more, I think. Lai, maybe that’s why.

Sticky sugar is made from pure sugar, with some starch and the like sprinkled on the surface to prevent sticking. This kind of candy is hard when you hold it in your hand, and it begins to soften and chew in your mouth. Slowly, you can feel it melting bit by bit in your mouth. It can be regarded as

A kind of special snack (maybe not considered a snack, just special)

3. "Mian Mouse"

Mian Mouse, Qidong Say "noodle clip".

Stir the flour into a paste with water. Tips: Don’t make it too thin or too thick.

Put the water in a pot and boil it. Use a small spoon to gradually pour it into the boiling water. Remember that there should be a certain time difference between each one and the previous one.

That way they won't all get stuck together. After everything is put, use the bottom of the shovel to shovel it gently, so that the noodles will not stick to the bottom of the pot. Then cover it, bring it to a boil, then simmer over low heat for a while, then add an appropriate amount to the pot. of sugar, it’s done.

The origin of the name "noodle mice" is probably that we Qidong people named it based on the fact that the noodle cubes resemble little mice in the soup.

The image is vivid. Take a bite of the mouse, it's soft, and there's a slight tenacity. Look at the soup, it's thick and delicious, and the mice are drunk.

In it, it's crystal clear, which makes people salivate. , my heart beat violently.

4. "Dry noodles"

"Eggplant cake"

"Eggplant cake" is actually a kind of dry noodles, but it is added to the flour. Eggplant shreds. Therefore, I will only introduce “dry noodles” below.

Take an appropriate amount of flour and add water to make a paste. The method is similar to that of "moodle flour". It should not be too thin or too thick. If it is too thin, it will be difficult to shape; if it is too thick, it will be difficult to spread.

After fully mixing, open the pot, put oil in the pot, heat it, take a spoonful of batter and put it in the oil, use a flat bottom spatula to slowly spread the batter into a cake shape.

When one side is cooked, turn over and fry the other side of the pancake in oil until golden brown.

Okay, the fragrant home-made snacks are ready to eat.

Characteristics of the dry noodles: a thin layer of crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It is also a good snack to satisfy your hunger.

"Noodles" and "Dry Noodles" are not sold in the market. Haha, you can only eat them by yourself, but this way

It will have a more unique flavor. .

5. "Mai She" grand introduction

That is a long-lasting memory. When I was very young, I often cooked and ate it at home. Later, I didn’t know it was because of the environment. Change

Well, people’s mouths are starting to be very picky. It’s probably because the family no longer grows wheat. I haven’t eaten such a beautiful thing in N years.

It is a snack made of wheat. In the early autumn, when the wheat ears are still green, you pick them off, put them in a bag

and smash them on the ground. , smash some shells off and fry them in a pan. The purpose of stir-frying is firstly to stir-fry the wheat, and secondly to stir-fry some stubborn husks to float, and then use a dustpan to shake off the fried husks.

I don’t know how many people still remember what the mill looked like at that time. Haha, I still remember it very clearly in my mind.

Next, we will use that ancient tool to grind the fried wheat into balls and grind them into balls for later use.

At this time, I was already drooling, but I couldn’t eat yet.

Then clean up the green wheat stalks, remove the leaves, and wash them. Under the weaving of mother's deft hands, the cube has begun to take shape.

Before putting the last cover on the bag, put the ground wheat dough into the green wheat straw bag, then divide it by three times and five times, and then seal it~.

The last step is to put it on the "hugaoling" - now the high-end term is called a steamer. Put the wheat grains on the hugaoling and separate them.

Steam, steam The intention is to fully combine the flavors of wheat balls and wheat straw buns. The principle is probably the same as zongzi, but the time should not be too long.

Only by holding the heat to just right can you get the most fragrant and delicious food. of wheat flour. It has both the aroma of frying and the moistness of steaming. How to maintain this heat?

The first thing is based on experience, and the second thing is that you can only smell it with your nose.

Wow! ! The fragrance overflows and flows slowly throughout the room. When you start the pot, you still don’t want to eat it. You have to play with it for an hour before you can do it.

Oh. :)

6. "Reed Chestnut"

It's something similar to sugar cane and looks like sorghum. I don't know if it's a specialty here, but I asked. Many friends from other places said they had never heard of it.

7. "Orange"

It is a kind of climbing fruit. It is very rare now. Three years ago, I saw oranges from other places in the market. But the appearance is not as small and exquisite as the local ones, and the red sacs inside are probably not as delicious as those that grew on the fence at home when I was a child.

Orange fruit has a golden shell when ripe, very bright, and a hilly skin. Peeling off the shell, the bright and dazzling crimson flesh capsules lie in golden embrace, which often reminds me of one word - happiness.

The taste of tangerine seeds is light and sweet, the capsule is very soft, and it has a clear fragrance that lingers in the mouth for a long time. Listen

It is said that tangerine seeds also have the effect of replenishing blood! However, it has not grown on the fence side of my house for NN years.

8. "Leng"

Leng, there is a special octagonal prawn breeding village in Qidong, and in every family's small river, They are full of leeks. During the peak growth season of leeches, the entire river seems to be covered with a green silk quilt, which is instantly beautiful.

Summer is coming, and it’s the season for picking berries. People sit in big wooden basins and float in the river covered with ridge leaves, picking while floating.

They vaguely smell women. They were humming a tuneless tune, and in the distance, the laughter of neighbors could occasionally be heard. This kind of scene reminds me of the reeds in Baiyangdian and the lotus sugar there. They all present their own unique scenery.

Ling can be eaten raw or cooked. It is crisp when eaten raw and delicate when eaten cooked. If your craftsmanship is skillful enough, you can also dig a small hole at the bottom of the rib, hook out the meat bit by bit, and then dig a small hole at the top to play beautiful music.

Oh.
