In Jiande, Hangzhou, there is a relatively small and little-known Millennium ancient town: Meicheng Ancient Town, which is located at the intersection of Xin 'anjiang, Fuchunjiang and Lanjiang. It was the seat of Jiande County as early as the Three Kingdoms period, with a history of 1700 years, and was later ruled by the state for 1000 years. The seat of the ancient Yan government is in Meicheng ancient town, which can be said that the history of Meicheng is rather tortuous.

Although the ancient town of Meicheng has been rebuilt in the later period, its profound historical and cultural heritage has not been reduced. The traffic here is very convenient, and it takes only 30 minutes to drive from Jiande City to Meicheng Ancient Town.

When it comes to the name Meicheng, you have to mention the ancient city wall here. The ancient city wall built by the river is named after the plum blossom shape. Known as "two plum blossoms in the world, one in Beijing, one in Nanjing and half in Meicheng".

Because most of the buildings in Meicheng ancient town are newly built, the buildings here are not very attractive to me, but the food here attracts me. There are many shops on both sides of the main street in Meicheng ancient town, but the business atmosphere is not very strong. Except for some gourmet snack bars, most shops are closed, either because there are few tourists or because there are no merchants.

Yanzhou sesame seed cake is a famous snack in Jiande, also called Jiande dried vegetable sesame seed cake. The traditional Yanzhou sesame seed cake is produced in this ancient town. There are fillings such as dried plums, chopped green onion or minced meat in the sesame seed cake, and there is a layer of bread wrapped in sugar juice, oil and sesame seeds. It tastes soft and crisp, and it tastes fragrant. It is reported that Yanzhou sesame seed cake has also participated in the "West Lake Expo" and won the first place.

Another special snack I tasted in Yanzhou can be said to be very "wonderful", just like a dark dish. It is "Yanzhou special corn grits", which is difficult for many tourists to accept. When I walked to this booth, it didn't attract me at first. Later, the shopkeeper said he would go to Yanzhou to eat snacks, so I decided to buy one and try it.

Yanzhou's special corn grits look like Huang Cancan's and jiaozi, which northerners like to eat. However, after hearing the shopkeeper say that the stuffing inside is stinky tofu, I hesitated again ... The "jiaozi" stuffed with stinky tofu simply subverted my imagination, and I bought one for 6 yuan.

I have eaten stinky tofu, but for the first time, I ate something wrapped in corncob like this, and I took a careful bite. Needless to say, although it stinks, it tastes mellow, crisp outside and tender inside, and it is delicious in the mouth. My peers saw that I bought it, tasted it, and bought one, which was full of praise, just like the owner said.

I don't know. Have you ever been to Jiande, a thousand-year-old town? Have you tried the "Yanzhou special corn grits" here? What other "wonderful" food snacks have you tried before when you went out to play? Welcome to leave a comment.
