The Chinese New Year is coming soon. The villagers are busy putting up curtains and wrapping up jiaozi. The firecrackers in the village are one after another. The sunshine is clear and transparent, just like people's mood, and the festive atmosphere is everywhere.

Children are playing and slapping, without the pressure of study and the worry of grades. It seems that this Spring Festival is for them.

In our hometown, there are three kinds of snacks that are very special. Not only are they delicious, but everyone loves them. The most important thing is that they are necessary for the Spring Festival and can only be eaten during the Spring Festival.

first, hemp leaves

hemp leaves are a kind of fried food, and there is absolutely no gutter oil fried at home. It is rolled into a round dough with flour, sprinkled with sesame seeds at last, rolled slightly to make the sesame seeds and dough blend, and then branded on the tobacco for eight-ripeness.

then cut into diamonds with a knife, dried and fried in an oil pan.

The fried hemp leaves are golden in color, like gold, which symbolizes people's yearning for wealth and a better life in the future.

Sesame leaves taste crisp and delicious, with the flavor of both noodles and sesame seeds. You can taste many kinds of flavors in your mouth, which always makes people want to stop.

hemp leaves are food for entertaining guests. Rural people usually put them in steamed buns with snacks such as candy and peanuts in them, and bring them out for everyone to taste when guests come.

second, huaguozi

if hemp leaves are deeply loved by everyone, the flower fruit is no less delicious than it. The ingredients used in both are the same, and the only difference is the processing method.

Flowers and fruits are also fried, but it takes skill and patience to make them. Compared with them, it is a lot of trouble. It reflects the master's craftsmanship and skills. Although it tastes similar to hemp leaves, it feels different.

In our local area, after the flowers and fruits are fried, they should be given to girls first. Because they are made like flowers and as golden as gold, it means that girls can find a good husband's family and live a rich and expensive life after eating them.

However, making flowers and fruits is complicated, which is rare nowadays. Only some old people are used to making them, and young people are unwilling and will not play with them.

Now people have started to apply for intangible cultural heritage.
