Xiushui in the mountainous area of northwest Jiangxi produces many wild jelly fruits with green skins and seeds as many as white sesame seeds, which are good raw materials for making jelly in summer.

The bean jelly of Xiushui is very famous in the surrounding three provinces and nine counties, the most famous of which is the "Wang Huang bean jelly" in the pit and mouth of Huang Tingjian's hometown. This kind of jelly is made of double-well water. Put it in a bowl, crystal clear and sparkling, with some yellow sugar and sesame seeds. It is a light yellow color, like transparent amber. It tastes cool, sweet and fragrant. Eating a bowl will make you feel hot and dry, and the summer heat will disappear, which is very effective for quenching thirst, clearing heat and eliminating dampness.

There is another story about the name "Wang Huang Jelly". According to legend, Huang Tingjian loved jelly when he was a child. One day, he was tired of learning and practicing calligraphy. He walked out of the study and took a deep breath of fresh and humid air in the field. Suddenly, he felt his vision broadened and he felt comfortable all over. He saw a string of jelly vines hanging on the pavilion next to the "fishing inkstone" and thought, now is the season to pick jelly fruits, why not pick them and make jelly yourself? When he was ready to go back and invite a partner, he met his sister Huang Yulan and a buffalo. On second thought, Huang Tingjian stopped and said to Huang Yulan, "Sister Yulan, I will help you herd cattle together."

Yulan is two years older than Huang Tingjian. She knew that this brother-in-law was a child prodigy, and he demanded a lot in elementary school. She feels that herding cattle with him can not only test his knowledge, but also learn from other places. So he smiled and said, "Great!"

Huang Tingjian led the rope in front, and Huang Yulan drove the cow behind. The two brothers and sisters soon came to the "fishing inkstone" by the river. Huang Tingjian put the cow rope on the buffalo horn and said to Huang Yulan, "Let the cow eat grass by itself. I want to ask my sister to help me pick jelly by the pavilion. "

Yulan thought, this brother is young and has many ideas. He said he would help me herd cattle, but in fact he wanted me to help him pick jelly fruit. So she said, "I want to ask you, how is this jelly made?" If you can't answer, I won't help you choose. "

Huang Tingjian know yulan elder sister to test him, eyeball bone. He said, "Take the jelly fruit out of the shell, add some fresh rice, wrap it in cloth and knead it in cold water. When the juice comes out, it will turn into jelly. Gaza sugar and sesame are delicious. "

Yulan looked at Huang Tingjian in surprise and said, "Hey, you look like a bookworm, you know. Who told you that? "

Huang Tingjian proudly said, "Look what my mother did! Without samples, see the world more.

Then they went to the "fishing inkstone" next to the pavilion to pick jelly. After a while, she picked a lot, and Yulan wrapped a big drum with her own raw cloth towel. At this time, the cows were full, and the two brothers and sisters walked back happily. On the way, Yulan simply let Huang Tingjian ride on the cow's back and walk behind.

Huang Tingjian rode a buffalo and walked slowly on the ridge. He is very happy. Looking at the scenery of Yue Ming Bay, he lamented Shuangjing Village, a beautiful place with outstanding people. When Huang Tingjian was proud, he casually sang his masterpiece with local folk songs:

Riding an ox thousands of villages away,

The flute wind smells at an oblique interval;

How many Chang 'an celebrities,

Organ failure is not as good as jun.

After Huang Tingjian got home, he was still in a state of excitement. When he started writing, he wrote these poems sung on the road on the original cloth towel wrapped in magnolia jelly, and inscribed: The book was given to Fang's sister Magnolia, with her own name and seal.

Time flies and times have changed. Huang Tingjian became an official when he grew up. When Huang Yulan grew up, he married a man named Wang Jian in Wangzhuang, Kengkou. It is said that one summer was particularly hot, and the jelly of the county town was particularly good to sell, especially the jelly of Shuangjing Huangjia, which was sold twice as much as that of other places. Yulan also started a jelly business with the skills she learned at her parents' home. However, Wang Jian took it to the county for sale on the first day, but he didn't get a good price because people didn't recognize him as the jelly of the Huang family. At that time, authentic Shuangjing Huangjia bean jelly was only sold in the pavilion on the Wang Yaqiao Bridge in the west of the county seat. Wang Jian, a native of Hangkou, couldn't go, so he had to carry the burden of jelly and sell it in the street, but people didn't believe that he was a "double-well" goods. Wang Jian came home dejectedly, and his wife Yulan took a raw cloth towel to help him pat off the dust. When Wang Jian saw Huang Tingjian on the original cloth towel, he was careful at once. The next day, he carried the bean jelly burden as before, covered with a raw towel written by Huang Tingjian, and shouted, "Buy authentic Wang Huang bean jelly! Holding a raw cloth towel for others to see. It turns out that the words on this raw cloth towel have been blurred because of its age, especially the words "Book for Sister Fang Yulan" have vaguely become "Book for Sister Wang Jian". In addition, the bean jelly made by Yulan is no different in color and taste from the authentic Shuangjing Huangjia bean jelly except Shuangjing. So, Wang Jian quickly sold a car full of jelly and sold it at a good price.

This matter was known by the Huang family who sold bean jelly and told their elders. The patriarch went to Kengkou to find Wang Jian. Knowing that he was the son-in-law of the Huang family, he looked at the raw cloth towel and confirmed that it was the original calligraphy of Huang Tingjian. He came back without saying anything. After returning home, he said to his own people: Wang Jian's "Wang Huang bean jelly" refers to yellow Wang Jialiang bean jelly, but he did not say that he sold Shuangjing Huang Jialiang bean jelly; The words on the original cloth towel are indeed genuine calligraphy that Huang Tingjian gave to Fang Mei Yulan, but the words are a little vague, giving people an illusion. We have no reason to interfere with him. It is reasonable that everyone should try to make their own jelly better. From then on, Shuangjing Huangjia and Hangkou Wang Jia bean jelly on Xiushui Street are all called Wang Huang bean jelly, which has become a brand that has been passed down to this day. At present, many restaurants also develop jelly into soup, that is, add some jelly cut into small pieces into cold mung bean soup as the first appetizing soup to relieve summer heat, which is very popular with customers.
