Yagou sticky bean bag is a geographical indication protection product.

Yagou sticky bean bag is a specialty of Acheng, Harbin, Heilongjiang.

Yagou sticky bean bag, also a traditional food of Manchu ancestors, is steamed with millet (yellow rice) as skin and kidney beans as stuffing, and it should be the earliest convenience food in China. It can be eaten frozen (eating bean buns) or hot (dipping bean buns), so Jurchen's staple food in winter was probably this little sticky bean buns in the war of destroying Liao and cutting Song.

In many people's memory, "sticky" and "year" are connected. According to the Manchu tradition, after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, every household must wash rice, wash rice with warm water, grind it into yellow wheat, and make dough in a big pot or two pots made of pottery. After a day or two, the basin will smell sweet and sour, which tells adults that it is time to pour bean stuffing. Bean stuffing is mainly kidney beans, and adzuki beans are also acceptable. Then we have to wrap bean buns. The size of the bean bag reflects the "passing the law" of a family's life. If it is too big, it looks lazy, and if it is too small, it will not be calculated. When the first pot of bean curd comes out of the pot and is dipped in sticky syrup, please ask neighbors to taste it, which is a test of all the previous processes. The smooth surface, moderate skin thickness, fragrant and delicious, and appetizing are high evaluations of sticky bean curd.

The origin of sticky bean bags is similar to that of, and this custom is related to the production level. Millet (Euphorbia Paniculata) is drought-tolerant and has a short maturity. In Northeast China, especially in Heilongjiang Province, it is the earliest crop harvested in Qiu Li. And people want to taste its delicious food, basically have to wait until the Spring Festival. First, as a unified distribution of grain, it is useless to worry because it has to go through many checkpoints such as the autumn harvest and weighing. Secondly, in the era of planned economy, steamed bean curd with rice is a sign of improving life, while Chinese New Year is a period of concentrated improvement, so we can't worry. But there are times to enjoy this delicious food. Every busy season in spring, summer, autumn and winter, farm work is tight and tiring. The production team collectively washes rice, mostly steamed rice cakes. The well-cooked kidney beans are spread on the steamer first, and with the rising heat, the yellow wheat is sprinkled layer by layer, and then a layer of kidney beans is spread. In this way, the rice cake, which is more than half a foot thick, has become the expectation of farmers in the busy farming season. As long as there is delicious rice cake, it is not a problem. Millennium cuisine has a thousand-year tradition, and it is a group of farmers in the hometown of Jinyuan and Yagou Town who update the tradition.

The reason why Yagou sticky bean buns are famous was that in the winter of 1985, Chen Jinsheng, a villager in Xiaweitun, guoyuan, Yagou Town, accidentally "scoured" rice, and he had a whim: Why not carry it back to Harbin to sell it? His reason is very good. Since some people are willing to eat sticky bean bags sent by relatives, people who don't have relatives will buy sticky bean bags to try. When Harbin people taste it, he is not qualified to say "more" when he washes more rice. As expected, Chen Jinsheng only ran a few times outside the road in winter, and more than 3 kilograms of sticky bean bags ran away, with a gross income of more than 2 yuan, almost the income of the production team in one year. In the second year, the number of teams selling sticky bean bags doubled, and the sales of sticky bean bags also doubled. In 1998, Yagou Town was rated as "the first town with sticky bean bags in China" by the Ministry of Agriculture. By 24, 35% of the cultivated land in Yagou Town had been planted with sticky corn (the output was much higher than that of Dahuang rice), and 2,1 farmers processed sticky bean bags, with a yield of 9 million kilograms and a profit of 9.5 million yuan. The products were sold well all over the country. In 25, Yagou Town allowed powerful private food enterprises to use the trademark of "Yagou" brand in order to make it bigger and stronger. Large-scale operation and standardized production, one by one carrying the national traditional delicious sticky bean bags, in people's vision and memory, will always shine like gold.
