Ever since watching "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full", the respondent has been attracted by the various snacks in Shaanxi, and went to Xi'an to taste the local snacks. The most impressive ones were the steamed cakes and rice cakes. Liangpi.
Zerg cake is an ancient and unique traditional snack, which is mostly sold by "city people". It was made in many places in the past. "Chinese Cooking Dictionary" records: "Zeng Cake, a Shaanxi snack." It also introduces its specific method, which is mainly steamed with glutinous rice, red dates or candied dates, and red beans placed on an iron steamer. "Ancient History" states that "the emperor began to make cauldrons and bottles, and the way of fire food began to be established." With the development of the times, steamers are made of wood, pottery, copper, iron, etc. Most of the steamer cakes in Guanzhong area are made of The steamer made of iron is the utensil. There are many names for steamer cakes, and their names vary from place to place. The Guanzhong dialect has a sharp pronunciation, so "甑" is pronounced as zìng, and is also incorrectly pronounced as jìng. People in the Song Dynasty called it "Small Zeng Cake" and "Small Steamed Cake" in "Tokyo Mengliang Lu" (Meng Yuanlao of the Southern Song Dynasty) and "Old Wulin Stories" (Zhou Mi of the Southern Song Dynasty). Wuhan and Xiaogan areas called it "Steamed Cake" and "Steamed Cake". Very bad." etc. Since steamed cakes have always been steamed using ancient methods, the output is low and affects economic benefits, so there are very few people operating it. Recently, in order to change this situation, some people have begun to modify the equipment for making rice cakes to increase its output while still preserving its flavor. I hope this sweet and soft snack can appear in our vision more in the future.
Liangpi, also called stuffed skin, is one of the snacks with a long history in my country. Judging from folklore, mature Liangpi should have been made during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Shaanxi's famous "Qinzhen Liangpi" is related to Qin Shihuang according to local legends. According to legend, there was a severe drought one year during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang. The rice harvest was not good, and it was all barnyard grass. The quality of the rice produced was very poor and could not be paid tribute. A man named Li Twelve came up with an idea to soak the rice and grind it into rice. Rice flour, steamed in a steamer, cut into strips, named "Rice Noodles" and sent to Xianyang as a tribute. It is said that Qin Shihuang praised it highly after eating it, and it spread widely. From the emperor's relatives to the common people, they began to eat this snack, and it has been passed down to this day.
Of course, there are many delicious snacks across the country, such as Dandan noodles from Sichuan, grilled cold noodles from Northeast China, fried chestnuts with sugar, and hand cakes. Octopus balls, sizzling tofu, etc., etc. If you have time, you can visit the snack streets in various places to satisfy your appetite.

The most delicious thing I have ever eaten, and something I will never forget in my life, is the handmade glutinous rice balls next to the children's park.
That was 20 years ago, I was 19 years old and a sophomore in college. I work as a tutor in a community next to the park. 160 yuan a month.
It was winter, and the community was some distance from the school. Every time he sends me there and then waits for me in the corridor. The student is a fifth-grade girl, and her parents are very busy. The tuition fee has been increased from 100 yuan to 160 yuan. The requirement is that on the day of my tutoring day, I must wait until the girl’s father or mother comes home from get off work before I can leave. So, sometimes it's 1 hour, sometimes it's 2 hours, or even 3 hours.
No matter what time I come out of the little girl’s house, he will always be waiting in the corridor on the first floor. At that time, there was a lot of snow in winter, it was very heavy, and the wind was howling. He said that as long as he kept moving, he wouldn't feel cold. He put a scarf on my head and wrapped it around my neck. He said I looked like a stupid big-headed doll. The two of them were joking and laughing, then turned to the food stall next to the park and ate a bowl of hot dumplings.
The person selling glutinous rice balls is an old woman in her 60s. A large oilcloth umbrella was supported on the ground to protect it from the wind and snow, a small table, and a coal stove. When someone comes, the old lady takes out a ball of glutinous rice noodles from the small basin under the table, forms a small glutinous rice ball in the palm of her hand, puts it into the pot and cooks it. There are six in a bowl. When it is cooked, she will scoop out a spoonful. She brewed her own rice wine and added a little sugar to the bowl.
Every time, he only wanted one bowl, and he said he didn’t like it. He put my left hand in his hands to warm it, and watched me eat without blinking. Snowflakes are falling in the bowl, and warmth is engraved in my heart.
Later, I tasted many kinds of glutinous rice balls, sweet, salty, stuffed, solid, roadside stalls, five-star hotels... ....But I have never tasted the sweetness and warmth of grandma’s glutinous rice balls again.
Many years later, I went to that place again alone. The park is still there, but city planning no longer allows roadside stalls. The search was fruitless, and I felt sad for a while.
We are still us, we are no longer us.
However, that bowl of glutinous rice balls is still the same as before, deep in my heart.
Fried rice cakes from roadside stalls are my favorite. I remember that I always liked to buy one to eat after school in elementary school. The aroma wafting from the stall, coupled with the crispy and delicious taste that hits your mouth, is delicious
When we were children, we were very simple and easily satisfied. I believe everyone has their own memories of street stall snacks that are hard to erase. Those are childhood memories
The fried fish tastes amazing. I ate it when I visited Guangxi at that time. , 10 yuan a serving, delicious and very affordable. It's fried crispy and feels delicious, more common in the south.
One year, I went to Yunnan and ate grilled tofu on the streets and stalls of Jianshui Ancient Town, which was a profound memory. I walked a lot that time and was hungry. The grilled tofu was really delicious, so I ate it up. It was so satisfying.
Not everyone dares to try hairy eggs.
An egg product eaten by locals in Southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
A friend said that people who are pregnant or weak take it as a supplement. The nutritional value is very high. After the lobbying of friends, the eggs were first fixed in a container and a hole was punched on the top. You can clearly see the rudimentary form and even feathers of the chick. Sprinkle pepper, salt and other seasonings on it. You can also mix it with others if you like. Mix some chili pepper and lemon juice and eat it spoon by spoon, so that there is no soup left.
Every country has its own roadside snacks. This time I finally challenge my limits and have the courage to try them!
I ate at a spicy hotpot on Guilin Road in Changchun City more than 20 years ago, and I still remember it. There are many houses on the same road, but this one stands out.
The dishes are also ordinary vegetables, such as cabbage, lettuce, chrysanthemum, spinach, tofu puffs, vermicelli, pork belly and so on.
A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, short and thin, not much taller than a big pot, used a big pot to scald vegetables and put a set into it. Plastic bag in a large bowl. Pour some soup and add your own seasonings. This restaurant has a wide variety of seasonings. There are fifteen or six kinds. The Malatang shop has the feeling of a hot pot restaurant.
A big bowl of steaming hot Malatang only costs three yuan. Add a bottle of ice soda and it's a perfect match. When I was young, I had a good spleen and stomach, as well as good teeth, but the combination of ice and fire seemed wonderful.
Later I traveled to many cities and ate many spicy hotpots, but none were as good as the one on Guilin Road. Or if you are in a hurry and cook it quickly, the ingredients will still be raw. Or there are only four or five kinds of seasonings, which are very simple.
If I go to Changchun again, I will definitely go straight to Guilin Road, but I don’t know if I can regain the taste of more than 20 years ago.
Why are there so many questions and answers about food this morning? This is the right place to ask, I love eating. Roadside snacks, Sichuan dandan noodles are my favorite. When I was in high school, it was dinner time from 5 to 5:30 in the afternoon. After dinner, I would study in the evening. I love going to the school gate to buy dandan noodles made by an old Sichuan lady. The sesame oil she makes is unmatched by any other restaurant. You can imagine that there is always a long queue in front of her car. The old lady is also very kind. I am over-nourished and am on the obese side. During the weight loss period, I don’t eat noodles. So I asked the old lady if she could just give me cucumbers and mix them with her ingredients. She always accepted it happily and gave me a big A box of cucumbers only cost one yuan. It can be said that with her help, I didn’t find it so difficult to lose weight! After graduation, I have never eaten dandan noodles from a roadside stall as delicious as this Sichuan old lady’s!
Forget the egg burger.
The skin is crispy and delicious, the filling is minced meat, and the sausage contains a whole egg.
After it's cooked, add some cucumber, sauerkraut, sweet and spicy sauce, etc. Very delicious. But they are all stalls. Not easy to find either. The average price is 3 yuan each.
There is a well-known old restaurant in Xiamen, Lao Sixi Egg Burger. You can try it, there is a lot of minced meat. There are quite a lot of people queuing up.
