Have a nest first! This kind of cooked fast cereals in the north are mainly corn, and corn flour is called cob noodles, also known as mixed noodles. Because corn is commonly known as a cob, it got this name. Southerners don't understand, so they have misunderstandings. In old novels, it was said that poor women were crying and putting stick noodles into their mouths one by one. Corn flour is mixed with bean flour, so it is called Zahe. In fact, the mixture of corn flour and bean flour is particularly sweet, so it is not considered a whole grain. However, when made into steamed buns, it looks like black bread and is generally regarded as Just food for the poor. In the south, such as Taizhou in eastern Zhejiang, people also usually eat cornmeal, but it is called six-grain paste. It was just a week ago in the year of Guangxu and Dingyou. I lived in Hangzhou, and a nanny named Song was from Taizhou. She often brought her to eat, with sweet potatoes in it. I thought it was delicious when I was a child. Generally, pancakes are made and eaten, which is the so-called wowotou, which is made into a cone shape with an empty space as big as a fist. It is named because there is a nest at the bottom. The common people eating this thing probably originated very early. There is no record in history. It must have started when corn was available. Originally, there was no need to work hard to find the origin of these things. Now, if we just find some records and know what era has happened, it would not be very interesting. The history of the origin of Wo Wo Tou is unknown, but we know that it already had this name at least in the Ming Dynasty, which means it has a history of more than 300 years. Volume 5 of "Xiangyan Jieyi" by Li Guangting contains Liu Kuanfu's "Poems on Seven Things in the Sun". The last chapter talks about "Aiwowo", and the small note says, "The wowo is made of glutinous rice flour and looks like a Yuanxiao rice dumpling. There is sugar stuffing in the middle, and the outside is steamed and made into a hollow, so it is called a wowo. It is made of grain flour and is as big as the one in the teahouse. The system was very small, and it was called Aiwowo. According to legend, a wealthy person in the Ming Dynasty was named Yu Aiwowo, but today it is just called Aiwowo." According to this, Aiwowo is the abbreviation of Yuaiwowo, so it can be seen that the name Wowotou already existed in the Ming Dynasty. This means that farmers have used cornmeal to make this kind of food and have used this name for a long time. Everything in the world is unique, and the story of Wo Wo Tou has another story. There is a restaurant in Beihai Park called "Fangshan", which means imitation of the imperial dining room. Among their famous foods, there is a kind of "little wotou", which is said to have been made "for the emperor" in the past. It is mixed with chestnut flour, but now it is only made of soybean and corn flour and sugar. Therefore, in addition to the real Wo Wo Tou, there are also two types of Ai Wo Wo Tou and Xiao Wo Wo Tou on the market in Beijing, leaving some traces of history. "Wootou" is an extremely small thing, but it has such an interesting history. It can be seen that if we pay more attention to some food, there must be many things that can be discovered.
