the story of the oyster cake
why do you love the old Yan, and live your life with your son. Xianyou Normal School, which is the Xianyou Campus of Putian University, has moved. Xianyou Normal School has become a real historical term, and I am deeply touched.
Many years ago, from August 1988 to October 1992, I taught in Xianyou Normal School. Xianshi occupies an important position in my life history, and it really makes me happy and interesting to mention it.
The smoke is red, the dew is fragrant, and the days are long when the birds sing in spring. There are many scenery in Xianyou, and the scenery in Yanchipu is good, where there is very delicious food, Xianyou cake.
everyone knows the taste of oyster, and asks Puxian for his own name. Xianyou belongs to Putian in ancient times, and Xianyou people actually belong to Putian people. The oyster is tender in meat and unique in taste. It can soothe the nerves, subdue yang and replenish yin, and is the most popular seafood in Puxian. The oyster is delicious and versatile. In the past, it was a happy festival for many children to eat oysters.
Xianyou people like oysters, just like Putian people. The taste of oyster is not thin, and it is timely. Xianyou cake is a masterpiece of Putian oyster food. I have studied Mazu Festival for many years. Simple Mazu Festival, I think we can use two delicacies, Putian red ball, Xianyou cake, red and yellow collocation, beautiful and harmonious colors.
I eat Xianyou cake, mainly in Yanchipu. When the sun goes down, the clouds and shadows are gone, and Yanchipu gradually falls into the gentle twilight. The lights are on and the grass is covered with light. However, there is still a lot of noise around, with all kinds of snacks selling, the sound of gongs and drums of the carp troupe, the sound of practicing the piano in the music building, the sound of children playing and the friendly shouts of women. In short, it is very lively.
this gentleman has grown old, and his young son looks a little longer today. The memory of Yanchipu is harmonious and wonderful, which gives people a leisurely and relaxed feeling of enjoyment. The night in Yanchipu is very charming.
ah, there is a full moon in the sky. In the moonlight, the normal school and Yanchipu are integrated, and everything has completely changed its tone if it is plated with silver. On the grass, some people are bargaining with some vendors to buy some special snacks for midnight snack. Xianyou cake is the most delicious snack.
nobody cares about the cool breeze and the bright moon, and they make cakes and smell delicious. There are many delicious foods in Xianyou, most of which are related to oysters. Oyster meat is tender, with outstanding umami and unique taste, which can soothe the nerves and adjust the mood.
I'm glad to see Xi Tong go out and watch, and the oyster will arrive at Nian's home before me. Oysters are a must for every family in the New Year.
clam cakes are well-known. Sometimes a person wants to taste all the delicious food in the world, and later, he finds that it is enough to eat only Xianyou oyster cake. Sea oyster cake, called moth cake in Puxian dialect, is also called clam cake, which can be matched with soy sauce and vinegar with appropriate sweetness and sourness.
There is a story about making moth cakes in Xianyou County.
There was a young man in the ancient Xianyou county who set up a stall to sell breakfast, and his business was light, so he could only make ends meet and could not get married. One night, he dreamed that a fairy said to him, "You have good luck!" " He asked urgently, "Where can I get good luck?" The fairy didn't answer, but drifted away. At this time, the sky and the moon are clear. Later, the sun rose in the east, and the sun shone everywhere. Later generations realized the secret, using Mi Dou as raw material to grind it into pulp, and frying the moth cake like a bright moon in oil. The cake rolls in the oil, like among colorful clouds, and the burning flame is still like the glow of the sun; The moth cake is golden when it is ripe, just like the sun. As a result, business is good, money is more, and a family is established.
The finished moth cake is round, golden in color, crisp and fragrant in shell, delicious in stuffing and meaty in taste, and can be eaten alone. You can also eat moth cake with flat food, dry it and dilute it. It is delicious and perfect!
moth cake should be difficult to make, and it tastes long to make fine products. On a summer night, walking for an hour, a plate of moth cakes, a bowl of flat food and a cup of coke are my simple "Chinese dream".
In the new era, Xianyou oyster cakes are rich and colorful. Sweet potato powder or taro powder as the main ingredient, original flavor. The stuffing is delicious, including cabbage, laver and garlic, with beautiful color and strong fragrance. In the moth cake, onion is added a little, and it is crisp and fragrant after frying in oil. One oyster cake, two or three oysters, and a little shrimp.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, many people want to eat fried oyster cakes. For this reason, the price of oysters is more expensive this day. Deep-fried oyster cakes are golden in white, fragrant and crisp, and are a warm food in winter.
moth cake is delicious, but it is hard to make. Often, at dawn, the family has to get up, pick up the rice and soybeans soaked the night before, then set up a stone mill and clean it with water.
the stone mill is simple and simple, and it is busy. Driven by the grinding hook, the stone mill tirelessly rotates in circles and makes a rumbling sound like a muffled thunder. The rough life can be refined. It takes two people to grind rice. Because the stone mill has a small eye, it needs one person to push the mill, and one person keeps adding water and rice to the mill eye. It is no exception in cold weather. People who add water often jump and rub their hands with cold.
the rice slurry is ground and put in a large iron basin or earthen jar. Mix oyster meat, lean pork, shallots and leeks (or Chinese cabbage or laver) into stuffing. Slurry and stuffing are placed on both sides of the oil pan, and a dense-eye iron frame is placed on the oil pan.
people who fry oyster cakes hold a special ladle with a long handle on the left and right, and the left spoon will spread the bottom of the right spoon with the paste, and then cover it with rice paste, put the right spoon into the boiling oil pan, fry until golden, pick it up and put it on the hob, and the eater will help himself.
it's a happy thing to eat Xianyou cake. The mention of Xianyou cake made me feel the poverty of human writing and language again. That kind of emotional appeal is really something that can't be described in words.
Today's Xianyou, the scenery is even more beautiful. Xianyou in the new era is surrounded by mountains and waters, with rich products, beautiful mountains and rivers, numerous historical sites and many beautiful scenery.
From the bridge, the flowing water of Mulan River is bright blue and quiet, warm and rich. Try to look up again, look at the clouds in the sky, and review the clouds in the same sky at another time, and I will be grateful if there is a chance.
From Xianyou cake, I think of many people and many careers in the new era, and I am excited by a strange emotion in my heart. Beautiful Xianyou is really promising.
