The bait block can be made into various shapes, except the thin thread is called bait wire, and the rest are called "bait" regardless of cake, roll or block. The local pronunciation of this "block" is as fast as "kuai", so it is difficult to find it in the dictionary. However, it seems that we can guess that this "block" is a "block" by pushing the meaning of sound or shape. If you want to eat separately from a gentleman, you need to find such a word "fast". In addition, many people in Kunming dialect pronounce the third sound as the fourth sound, which can also be proved. Before Kunming, the "bait" was mainly one or two kilograms, and the existing "bait" in literature experiments was "bait block", so the origin was basically clear.
Bait slices are a must-eat in Kunming folk customs during the New Year, and they are usually fried, boiled and burned. People in border areas are so keen on "bait food" that they have been carrying on this tradition for thousands of years. In the past, Kunming was also the favorite bait for Zijian, and the New Year Festival was often snapped up. Zijian people are a branch of Yi people. It seems that this old dish is the most authentic of ethnic minorities. Of course, scholars will praise "seeking wildness after losing courtesy"! Erbium burning block is baked on smokeless charcoal fire with pancake-shaped bait block on it. When they are slightly brown, add sesame sauce, hot sauce, oil pepper and so on. The surface is coated, and it can also be sandwiched with beef and mutton cold slices or fried dough sticks. It is a delicious local specialty snack.
In the custom of old Kunming, people always like to set up a stove at home, put Baba on an iron sieve and eat it while baking. It is really unique. Speaking of the origin of this custom, there is another story. One morning, Cuobao went to Kunming to sell a mountain. As soon as I entered the East Gate, I saw many people standing at the city gate, angry, shouting and swearing. Some dolls lie in their mother's arms and cry with their mouths open. Coarse chaff treasure stood by and listened for a while before he understood the whole story. It turned out that the second hall of the magistrate's yamen suddenly caught fire for some reason last night, and the magistrate flew into a rage, thinking that it was a daring unruly person who deliberately made trouble. He immediately ordered notices to be posted at six gates in Kunming. From today on, no one is allowed to cook at home. The ban is valid for three months, and offenders in hell to pay will not be tolerated. Coarse chaff treasure beckoned to the villagers, so a charge, everyone is happy. After returning, everyone moved out of the stove from home and baked Baba on it. It was delicious. The magistrate knew it and hurried out to check it out. He grabbed an old man and blew his beard and stared. Coarse bran treasure stepped forward and made a face at the magistrate. "Magistrate, it is forbidden to cook at home, but it is not forbidden to bake Baba at home!" Magistrate chagrin, how didn't expect coarse chaff treasure to this skill in advance! Sameen called Baba a bait block, and the bait block was handed down in this way. People in Kunming still like to eat bait. Just go to the barbecue stall on the street.
