Have no clue when it comes to writing an essay? The following is a 450-word essay about Cao Kueh that I carefully compiled. It is for reference only. I hope it can help everyone. Straw Cake Composition 1
In the hot summer, Apollo, the sun god, was holding a blazing torch in the sky and showing off his power. I was sweating profusely and doing my homework distractedly. I wished I could become Prometheus and steal the fire from his hands. Come down. I need to cool down! I want something cold! I cried inwardly.
"Cao Kueh, sago dew, jiumao paste!"
Oh my God! What did I hear? The pen in his hand paused for a moment.
"Cao Kueh, sago dew, jiumao paste!" The powerful male voice came again. I threw down my pen, took five dollars from the drawer, and ran out to chase the hawker.
I returned home satisfied and put the straw cake in my hand into the sea bowl. The porcelain white sea bowl set off the black and crystal clear straw cake, which was really cute. I hummed happily, found sugar, sprinkled the crystal clear snowflakes on the surface of the straw cake, took a knife and started to cut the corpse of the straw cake that was about to enter my stomach. Soon, the straw cake turned from a piece of black jade into gravel, and it seemed to be trembling faintly, which aroused my appetite. I sprinkled a layer of sugar on the surface and was ready to eat.
I took a sip and took a bite of the straw cake. It trembled in my mouth like jelly. When I bit my teeth, the sweetness flowed out, which was extremely refreshing. As you chew it carefully, the medicinal flavor masked by the sweetness overflows, which is both bitter and sweet, making you want to stop eating it. I took another sip, and the cold straw cake slid back and forth in my mouth, absorbing a lot of my heat. The heat in my body had already subsided. I just feel refreshed and my mind is much clearer.
I couldn’t help but think of my childhood, when the summer night sky was dotted with stars. Fireflies loved to fly around carrying lanterns, crickets loved to sing in the grass, and moths loved to surround dim light bulbs. Children love to share the straw cakes around their grandma. Each person can only share one bowl, so the straw cakes are particularly precious in the eyes of the children. They always need to chew carefully for several minutes to take a bite, and spend a lot of time on each bowl. Take a long time to eat. After eating the straw cake, I went to chase the firefly and observe the green light flashing behind its butt. Playing lattice with my friends under the tree, taking cards with my friends in front of the door... Now the scenery is not the same, and the people are no longer the same people. The happy childhood just drifted away with the wind, and the fragrance of childhood flowers was no longer lingering. We all rushed on the express train of growth, carrying the heavy luggage of our parents, waving goodbye to summer and waving goodbye to childhood.
Although our summer companion later turned into ice cream, milk tea, and "Wuyang" cones, we will definitely eat straw cake once. Not only because the hawker sells it every year, but also because this small black straw cake carries the heavy childhood of several generations of us. Cao Cake Composition 2
The memory of summer always seems to stay in the blazing sunshine; the gradually changing and constant temperature makes people feel a little mentally depressed.

In the Chaoshan area, there is a delicacy that is unique to summer. It is particularly good at clearing away heat and relieving the heat. It is the famous Cao Kueh. Cao Kueh is the childhood memory of many people in Chaozhou and has been derived to this day.

When eating, use a special copper spoon to cut into pieces and put them into a snack bowl, sprinkle with brown sugar (white sugar is often added today), and then sip.

It has a sweet and cool nature and a refreshing effect. It has the effect of quenching thirst and eliminating heat toxins. It is a commonly used medicine for dispelling summer heat.
Nowadays, the number of people selling grass cakes in Chaozhou City during the summer is also gradually decreasing, and gradually only a few "nail households" are left selling it. Most of the time when we buy straw cakes, we sit at home and watch TV. Then when we hear the "ding-ding" sound of the bowl, we know that someone is selling straw cakes nearby, so we are in luck...
It's a hot summer, but the seemingly annoying emotion is full of nostalgia. There are so many precious memories about summer. Cao Kueh Composition 3
A friend happened to go to Shantou and called me to ask what kind of sugary drinks in Shantou could be recommended to relieve the heat. I listed a bunch of them, such as mung bean soup, barley soup, and ginger potato soup. When I mentioned Cao Kueh, he immediately interrupted and asked me what Cao Kueh was. I explained it in a simple way, "It's the grass jelly honey you used to eat." He had long hair, but for the sake of Highlighting the difference between Cao Kueh and Xiancao Mi, I tried my best to explain to him, and he finally decided to eat Cao Kueh.
In fact, when I was a child, every summer afternoon, the clear "dong dong" sound of bowl knocking would be heard on the streets. Foreign friends who first came to Shantou would curiously poke their heads in to see what was going on. But for Chaoshan people, Said, this is the most familiar sound. This is the sound of selling straw cakes, which is usually accompanied by the sound of selling tofu pudding. Over the years, this method of knocking on the bowl to sell straw cakes has not changed, and it is still used today. This is the trading signal that Shantou people have adopted for this traditional snack food.
To spread the word, although I have never seen how to make Cao Kueh with my own eyes, my mother always taught me how to make it. Cao Kueh is made from a kind of hay called Cao Ke Cao. Add a little sweet potato powder, let it solidify, put it in a small jar, and cover it with a lid, because my family doesn't show much preference for grass cakes, and I only think of eating a bowl of grass cakes when I hear something from afar.
In my memory, when the hawkers were selling, there was a chopstick rack and brown sugar on one end, dishwashing water was placed under the rack, and a small vat on the other. When selling, a copper spoon was used to cut the straw cakes from the upper layer into the bowl. Add brown sugar and a drop of orange paste. In the past, when people sold straw cakes in rural areas of Chaoshan, they would use a porous copper coin plane to scoop up the condensed straw cakes in the bowl and shape them into strips. Add brown sugar and eat them warm or cold. However, it should be noted that although Eating grass cake can relieve the heat, but it should not be left overnight. If it rains, people in Chaoshan generally do not eat it. There is a saying in Chaozhou saying that if the grass cake is cooked, the weather will change. This is used to describe seasonal changes, business unlucky, and grass cake. There are other Chaoshan proverbs derived from Kueh, such as "Other people's grass, other people's candy", which is used to express that other people's things can be squandered and wasted at will; i. For example, "There are dark clouds in the south belly, but there are still stocks of grass sold", which is used to describe rainy days. , Caoguo cannot be sold.
According to today's dietary concepts, Cao Kuai is definitely a "black food". Cao Kuai is sweet in taste and cold in nature. It has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. It can relieve summer heat and can also be used as a snack. , is indeed a good food during the summer season. In the past, it was often sold in rain pavilions to serve passers-by. Since the stalls were fixed, they did not have to bear the hardship of carrying burdens to sell. However, later, the large and small rain pavilions were demolished, and the stalls began to become From this, the cries of "dong dong, selling straw cakes, selling tofu puddings" in my childhood memory began. I am afraid that such sounds are difficult to hear anymore in the reinforced concrete of my hometown town. Occasionally, I hear, I wanted to stop and buy a bowl of straw cake, but I could no longer catch up and my voice faded away.
