My hometown, Yuxi, Yunnan, is rich in special products! There are yellow mustard, soy sauce, mung bean cake, Songhua cake, bean candy ... but my favorite is bean candy. Bean candy is a traditional food with unique flavor in Tonghai, which is said to have been created by Mongolian fighters. As for bean candy, there is such a true story! That was in 1252 AD, when the brave fighters fought for a long time and raided from a long distance. Because they could not bring more food, they had to pound highland barley and soybeans into noodles and put them in dry food bags. When they bumped, the fried noodles wrapped the brown sugar layer by layer to form a block. Therefore, the soybean, sesame and bean powder sugar was made. In this year, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan led his troops to the south, and stationed troops in Qutuo Pass to govern southern Xinjiang, and the powdered bean sugar gradually flowed into the sea. The production technology has been improved from generation to generation by contemporary famous teachers. The bean candy in my hometown not only has a wonderful story, but also has a different taste. First, tear off a layer of transparent plastic paper wrapped in the carton, then open the carton, and you will see a laughing food bag filled with bean candy lying quietly in the carton. Pick up the small food bag in the box and gently cut it open with scissors, and you will smell a fragrant smell. The smell will make your mouth water. Look! The bean candy rolled up like Grandpa Dashu's "clothes". Pick up a roll and put it in your mouth and taste it with relish. I just think it is so crisp and delicious. I really don't know until I taste it. I can't forget it once I taste it! There are many varieties of bean powder sugar, including Huang Doudou sugar, sesame sugar and chocolate sugar ... But no matter what kind of bean powder sugar, it has four characteristics, which are: sweet and crisp. Bean candy is hand-refined, which is famous for its sweet and crisp mouth and fragrant teeth. Ah! Bean candy in my hometown, I love you. I'm really proud of having such a famous specialty in my hometown.
