Heart is a unique flavor snack in Taiyuan, which was created by Mr. Fu Shan in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. At that time, Mr Fu Shan found a restaurant called "Qinghe Garden" to sell his brains.
Most people say that the idea of eating Qingyuan is meaningful! It has a history of more than 300 years.
From the Millennium of the Lunar New Year to beginning of spring in the following year, all the hotels in Taiyuan are scrambling to use their brains.
The brain is nutritious food.
Also known as "Bazhen Decoction", it is made of Radix Astragali, Huimian Noodles, Lotus Root, Mutton, long yam, yellow wine, distiller's grains, and sheep's tail oil, and pickled leeks are added as the introduction. If you eat it regularly, it has the effects of benefiting qi, regulating yuan, promoting blood circulation and invigorating stomach, and tonifying deficiency, especially in the morning.
Because in the early years, Taiyuan people got up before dawn to eat brains, which is also called "grasping brains" and hung lanterns for lighting, so a paper lantern was hung as a symbol in front of the restaurant that manages brains. This custom has been passed down to this day.
The "hat box" with food when drinking brain is also a local specialty of Taiyuan.
Hat box is a kind of toast, short cylindrical and hollow. It is made by kneading unfermented flour, salt and pepper into two empty shells, putting them together and baking them in the stove.
When drinking your head, break the "hat box" into small pieces and soak it in your head, which is fragrant and chewy and has a unique flavor.
