People in China are careful not to eat from time to time. As a traditional food in China, Qingming fruit is only eaten on the eve of Tomb-Sweeping Day.
In spring, I came to Shuimo Shanghe, Wuyuan, Jiangxi. Shuimo Shanghe is located in Shanghe Village, Yutan, Qiukou Town, Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, 8 kilometers away from high-speed railway station, the county seat. Shanghe Village has an ancient history of 920 years, surrounded by mountains and waters, and has a quiet environment.
On the eve of tomorrow, please walk into the snack street by the Mojiang River and see what the local people will eat.
As a northerner, I am still curious about the seasonal food in the south. The local people are wrapping Qingming fruit. Qingming Ba (Jiangxi), also known as Qing Tuan, is one of the special foods in southern, central and eastern China. In the south of China, when Tomb-Sweeping Day arrives, every family will make Qingming fruit.
Looking at the steaming clear fruit, do you feel very appetizing? Because of different regions, China cuisine has distinctive features. Even in different solar terms, the food on the tip of the tongue has distinct regional differences.
The skin of Qingming fruit is green because it is made of wormwood or dogwood. Due to different fillings, they can be divided into different types such as salty and sweet, and their shapes can be divided into "ingot shape" and round shape.
For jiaozi-shaped Qingming fruit, friends who have never seen it will be very curious, because it is easy to distinguish between different fillings and the shape of the bag.
Sweet and clear fruits are generally round. Sweet Qingming fruit is made by adding Qingming grass and appropriate glutinous rice flour and rice flour into white sugar water, kneading into cakes or processing into skins, filling with sesame seeds, sweet-scented osmanthus sugar and bean paste, and pressing into a circular mold for steaming. Relatively speaking, the production process of sweet and clear fruit is a little simpler.
Salted and clear fruits are generally jiaozi-shaped, and many materials need to be prepared. Generally, there are diced bacon, diced winter bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, diced red peppers, dried beans, pickles and bean sprouts. Make it into jiaozi-shaped salty and clear fruit. It is a kind of visual enjoyment to watch local people skillfully make clear fruits.
When Tomb-Sweeping Day came to Wuyuan, he could eat this kind of seasonal food both in the local scenic spot and at the dining table. A bite of transparent fruit with wormwood fragrance is the best food in this spring. With the development of economy, we can also eat this kind of clear fruit at ordinary times. I don't know if there is any psychological effect, but I think the fruit eaten in Qingming Festival is particularly delicious.
In addition to clearing fruit, glutinous rice cake from Wuyuan is also a special food. At first, I thought it was the sweetness I usually ate. Only after eating it did I know that the glutinous rice cake in Wuyuan was actually salty. I added the glutinous rice cake with pork belly, and ate a mouthful of glutinous rice, but it also had the fat but not greasy taste of bacon, which was soft and delicious.
I also ate an unforgettable snack in Wuyuan. The locals called it Gao Qi. This is the first time I have seen this kind of snack. White glutinous rice noodles are inlaid with shredded pork, dried bean curd and red pepper. Just looking at the color, I feel full of joy. Gao Qi steamed in the steamer is cut into diamond-shaped pieces. When eating, put Chili and Chili sauce, and the taste buds are obtained in this spring's seasonal snacks.
