Yibin, Sichuan has a thousand years of ancient traditional history. People here began to live a happy and comfortable life. The climate was pleasant, the food industry and agriculture were very developed, and the wealthy people began to make and invent various delicacies, among which there were many

Special delicacies, let me share with you the recommended special delicacies in Yibin, Sichuan.

This is not tofu, it is maltose made with local methods. We call it sesame candy Ding Ding Dang. When we sell sesame candy, when the sesame candy is sold out, the mother-in-law sells it.

This is a local folk song that I remember particularly deeply when I was a child (if it can be considered a folk song).

I still don’t understand why the sesame candy has to be sold to the mother-in-law when it’s sold out.

But I always remember the crisp sound of the sesame candy seller hitting the sugar-cutting knife with a small hammer. I also remember the sweet taste of sesame candy and its quickness in that era when snacks were scarce.

The texture of gummy teeth.

The seller of sesame candy is usually a middle-aged or older man, carrying a load or a bamboo basket on his back, which contains a large piece of raw maltose that looks like a stone and is milky white (or ivory white) in color. He walks through the village and alleys, holding it in his right hand.

A small hammer strikes the iron cutter in the left hand, and the sound is clear and sweet, "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding". The chirping of birds, the barking of dogs, the crowing of chickens and the croaking of ducks through the countryside are accurately transmitted to the greedy little devils.

In my ears, it was clear that "the sesame candy seller is here, hurry up and bring your pocket money, or ask your parents and grandparents to buy it!" I used to be one of those greedy little devils.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was because I was young and my family was poor in my childhood. Although if you look closely, it seems that you have unknowingly left behind some habits that can be called the sequelae of a poor childhood, it does not leave a deep-rooted bitter feeling in your heart.

.

I think this may be because my parents worked hard and carried away all the bitterness.

Now when I recall every bit of my childhood, I can always feel the sweetness in the smallest things.

For example, my mother saved a few cents from her fingers and let us buy back a few pieces of raw maltose that could almost stick to our teeth. For example, at my grandma's house in the summer afternoon, my aunt made ice powder with local methods, such as pushing the board.

The aunt who couldn't remember her name was driving down the street, using bamboo sticks like Xiao Li's flying knives to draw rhombuses, and the bowl of cold cake poured with thick brown sugar juice was amazing in her childhood.

Cold cake is a very distinctive traditional snack popular in Yibin, Zigong, Neijiang, Leshan and other areas of Sichuan.

Different from other pastries made from rice, the cold cake looks like mutton fat and white jade. It tastes fresh, refreshing and smooth in the mouth. It is even more rare to eat after cooling it in cold well water for a period of time in the hot summer.

A great way to relieve summer heat.

When I was a child, the most pleasant thing was when I was feeling groggy after taking a nap. Suddenly, amid the long and short chirping of cicadas, I heard the aunt pushing a cart shouting - "Buy some cold cakes!"

The people immediately cheered up, quickly grabbed the two cents they probably saved from selling old newspapers and books, and rushed towards the trolley, "Here, have a bowl!" The aunt smiled and moved quickly from the first floor to the trolley.

Under the gauze, take out a bowl of condensed cold cake. Use a thin bamboo slice that looks like Xiao Li's flying knife to quickly pull it horizontally, vertically and horizontally a few times. The cold cake in the bowl will be in the shape of a rhombus. Look at her again.

I poured two spoonfuls of thick brown sugar water from a small clay pot and poured it on the suet-white jade-like cold cake in the bowl. I felt like the gluttons in my stomach were crawling out of my throat.

The selection of traditional cold cakes is very simple. The main raw materials are organic rice, ultra-deep natural well water, and natural organic brown sugar. No coloring additives are added during the entire cooking process. It is a truly green, healthy, and pollution-free original ecological delicacy.

Not only does the cold cake taste sweet and soft, it is refreshing and delicious, but it also has the effects of detoxifying and draining pus, diuresis and swelling, clearing heat and removing dampness, strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea. Moreover, it is made from rice milk and paired with pure

Brown sugar juice is also used by many women as a summer delicacy for beautifying the skin, promoting body fluids and quenching thirst.

Ice powder is another traditional snack that embellishes my childhood memories.

In my memory, this snack was also widely supported by men, women, old and young at that time, and it was once popular in villages, towns, streets and alleys.

The main raw material of ice powder is the seeds of a plant called pseudophysalis (also called ice powder).

In the past, to make ice powder, you had to first rub the ice powder seeds with your hands and then add some lime water. The production method was cumbersome and difficult to master, and it was generally difficult for inexperienced people to make it successfully.

In my memory, my aunt is very good at doing this.

The first bowl of ice powder I had in my life was made by my aunt at my grandma's house.

I still remember that my aunt was very young at that time, less than 20 years old. She liked to wear skirts and high heels. She had big natural double eyelids, long black hair, and the bangs on her forehead were blown high and fluffy. She was very popular at that time.

hairstyle.

The tall, hard-working aunt was almost a symbol of beautiful women in my eyes at that time.
