Fuan Town in Jiangsu Province is a famous historical and cultural town, and also a famous hometown of silk. The ancient street Gu Xiang here makes people travel back to the past, while the new street, new scenery and high-rise buildings make people understand that it is far more than an ancient town. Fu 'an Town is small but outstanding. The local people rushed out of the country with hard-working hands, making the whole world fall in love with Fu 'an silk to come to Fu 'an. Apart from enjoying the beautiful scenery and buying silk, the fish soup noodles and crisp cakes here are very famous, especially crisp cakes, which used to be tributes but are now intangible cultural heritage, making people never tired of eating.

how delicious the crisp cakes are, the locals will say that they are reluctant to throw them away even if they smack. This snack has a long history. It has been on fire for hundreds of years. It used to be fried before and after the Spring Festival and made in Tomb-Sweeping Day. It is famous because Emperor Qianlong ate in the south of the Yangtze River. Strangely, some people in nearby towns learned their craft, but they couldn't make it taste rich. So now many people in Jiangsu will drive to the town to eat crisp cakes.

This store is not big and simple. There is little decoration in the store, and it still stays in the style of the last century, but it is very clean and makes people feel grounded. The boss is an uncle, who is 72 years old this year. It is said that he has been making crisp cakes for 56 years. From 1966 to now, he can sell more than 3, crisp cakes a day at most, which is really hard and enviable.

Grandpa said that when he was young, there were many pastry makers in Fu 'an. Later, some people gradually switched to others and stopped making them, mainly because this pastry was unprofitable and people could eat more and more delicious food. Now there are not many pastry makers in Fu 'an, and their family can be said to be the oldest one. I made my own cakes, and my son-in-law has been studying with me for many years. In the future, I will take over this small shop and prevent the cakes from disappearing into the long river of history. It is still gratifying.

This crisp cake has two kinds of fillings, one is onion and the other is bean paste. It is made of dough mixed with old flour and oily flour, and it tastes oily but not greasy. Because my uncle is old and lacks energy, the work of rolling noodles has been handed over to my son-in-law. The rolled noodles are thin and sticky, and then they are wrapped in stuffing layer by layer and rolled up. The next important part still needs to be completed by my uncle.

When the cake is put into the oil pan, you need to enlarge half a pot of oil at a time, which can submerge the cake. This is also the traditional craft that has not changed. The layers of cake are like slightly blooming flowers and bones, which is attractive to look at. Moreover, the golden crispy skin is really crispy and the dregs drop off, and the more you eat it, the more delicious it is. Uncle said that he used cotton oil. Many people misunderstood that cotton oil was unhealthy. In fact, it contains a variety of vitamins, which can resist aging after eating, and the price is relatively affordable. Crispy cakes made with fresh oil every day are all beautiful, and the price in 1.2 yuan is also very affordable.

Although the crisp cake tastes good, because it is fried food, many locals no longer patronize it for the sake of health. If the traffic conditions were not improved and many foreign tourists came here, this non-legacy snack might have disappeared long ago, and I hope more traditional snacks can be passed down!
