My hometown is in Shenchi County, Shanxi Province, where there are flat and soothing streams and East Mountain, clear and bright West Lake Hu, unique food culture and various specialties: twist, moon cakes, potatoes ... However, my favorite is moon cakes.

Although the moon cake is not a rare treasure, it is a famous food at home and abroad. Not only Shenchi people love it, but also people in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. It is popular not only in China, but also abroad. Because it is not only delicious food, but also a symbol of happiness and reunion.

There are many kinds of moon cakes. The first is size. Mooncakes range from fist size to pot mouth size, but the most common one is small mooncakes. Secondly, the appearance, some moon cakes are only engraved with some words, while some moon cakes are engraved with many patterns, like a handicraft. Also, the taste of moon cakes is different, such as jam, bean paste, red dates and roses.

The practice of moon cakes is different from that of other foods. There are not many steps, but there are four steps. First, knead the mixed white flour into a big round cake, bake it and grind it, then mix it with the stuffing to make the mooncake stuffing, then put it in the mooncake mold with the mixed white bread, and finally bake it in the oven, and the delicious mooncake is finished. Is it quite simple?

Today is a different festival, that is, Mid-Autumn Festival. When I think of Mid-Autumn Festival, I naturally think of sweet and fragrant moon cakes.

The shapes of moon cakes are big circle, small circle, ellipse, and even heart-shaped and pentagonal heart-shaped. The big circle is like the moon's pentagonal heart, like shining stars. There are various patterns or characters engraved on the surface of the moon cake, some are engraved with mazes, some are engraved with irises, some are engraved with sunflowers, and some are engraved with the word "red bean paste", indicating that the moon cake is red bean paste-flavored, and its surface is golden yellow, and it is shiny under the light, which makes people's mouth water thousands of feet.

My hometown Shenchi is a big agricultural county, where the sky is vast, the people are hardworking and there are many specialties. Crispy and delicious twist, fat but not greasy mutton, strong and smooth vermicelli … but I love the sweet and crisp moon cakes best.

On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the fragrance of moon cakes wafts in the streets and alleys of Shenchi, which makes people drool. Moon cakes are round, flat and golden, with beautiful patterns and words on them! Some write the name of the manufacturer, such as "Changxiangyuan" and "Yipin Xiang", and some write "Shenchi", which, together with beautiful designs, makes people really can't bear to bite it.

Moon cakes are not only beautiful in appearance, but also "beautiful in mind". It is wrapped in sweet cake stuffing, including raisins, melon seeds, preserved fruits, green red silk, wine and roses. It tastes crisp and sweet, which makes people want to eat it. I especially like eating, and there are many stories about it. One day at noon, I went home and went straight to the mooncake box, wanting to eat together. But my mother said, "No, the meal is almost cooked, let's eat!" " I had to walk bitterly to the dining table. When I was eating, I deliberately only ate a little green. After my parents took a lunch break, I stole another piece and ate it. It was so sweet! I ate my mouth full of stuffing, like a Xiaohua Mall.

This delicious mooncake is made by taking the oil, flour and mooncake stuffing to the processing place. I saw some adults sitting around the dough table, making up the dough, grabbing a small ball, filling it with stuffing, kneading it into small balls, and then pressing the dough into the mooncake mold. When it hits, the mooncake-shaped dough falls out. Put a lot of dough like this in an iron plate, coat it with a layer of sugar water and send it to the baking place. After about ten minutes, the moon cakes will be cooked. Don't eat at once, it will burn your hands. When it's cool, taste it and it's delicious.

Moon cakes, which are not well-known in my hometown, are now well-known throughout the country. This year, on the column of Shanxi TV Station "Jin Shan Jin Mei Taste", the Changxiangyuan moon cake in my hometown was also introduced! There are also moon cakes in my hometown at the Beijing exhibition. I sincerely hope that the moon cakes in my hometown can go abroad and go to the world, so that friends all over the world can taste the moon cakes in Shenchi!
