NO.34 Issue
When it comes to thin times, everyone loves that mouthful of sweetness.
Under the golden brown scorched shell, there is a hot and hot softness. Biting down a bit of sticky teeth, blowing and chewing, as if eating happiness little by little.
I always saw Daddy and Old Jiao pushing a cart and setting up a frying pan, and there were always long queues everywhere they went.
Yes, it's this bowl of sugar oil.
Simple glutinous rice balls, fried with a piece of sugar, will become delicious.
Sugar oil canon is a traditional snack in Changsha, Hunan Province, and like stinky tofu, it has an unshakable position in the hearts of the people of Changsha. It's not a delicacy, it's just something that ordinary people take for the precious dessert tooth sacrifice.
When there is any chocolate and French dessert, only this bowl of sugar oil, in thousands of days and months, ironed our desire for sweetness.

"Sugar oil in the south of the foothills"
The old man on Lushan South Road, Sugar Oil Dumpling, is a shop recommended by many readers when we launched the first sugar oil soup manuscript, and it is also popular on Weibo.
This shop is located between a milk tea shop and a hairstyle studio, which is less than 2 square meters. Simple stalls at the door, you can smell a sweet fragrance when you pass by.
A gray-haired but energetic old man sat in front of the store with a shovel, skillfully flipping the glutinous rice dumplings that had just been cooked.
He has been selling sugar oil for more than a decade.
In the past, there was a small stall on the side of the Tianma Student Apartment, and later when I arrived at Lushan South, I rented this small façade and worked for nine years.
At 3 p.m., the sun was shining just right.
The milk tea shop next door opens a loudspeaker to solicit customers, and it welcomes a group of guests in a lively manner. And the old ta ta, he is not in a hurry, sitting calmly in front of the pot, guarding the low-priced food that emits a sweet fragrance.
" Extraordinary Craftsmanship "
Nowadays, changsha sells sugar oil and rice stalls.
But to make a memorable taste, it takes a long time to precipitate.
The control of the oil temperature, the control of the sugar, the control of the shovel in the hand, can not do anything without it. The more ordinary things are, the more they test people's craftsmanship.
Lao Ta Is in his seventies this year, and one-seventh of his life is making sugar and oil dumplings.
How big the pieces of sugar are, what temperature the oil wants, when to turn the glutinous rice dumplings, there is a precise scale in the heart of the old ta ta.
Kneading dumplings, putting a piece of sugar, putting down the oil pan, turning the noodles, the old ta ta is not in a hurry to carry out the production process, each simple action he has repeated for more than ten years, tens of thousands of times.
Every day, lao Ta Ta gets up at six o'clock to grind glutinous rice flour, opens at 12 noon, and closes at 8 o'clock in the evening. When the business is good, you can sell thousands of sugar oil dumplings a day, each of which is fried just brown and crispy, and the solid glutinous rice core inside.
" Pure Delicious "
Tasty, really tasty.
Sweet but not greasy, glutinous rice on the teeth and then rolled away by the tongue, eager to suck the sweetness on the wooden skewer clean.
Eat the hot one and feel happy from the heart.
Pure sweetness, pure deliciousness, no need to write any superfluous descriptions. The sweet little writer here, can't help but want to take a flying car and then buy a bowl to eat.
How so delicious, just thinking about it makes you drool.
"It's not a good thing."
Ta Ta likes to talk to the guests the most, laughing and not accepting money from acquaintances on the side, neatly packing a few sugar oil dumplings to send him to eat.
How is this taste that can only be made by Ta Ta, how is it not a good thing?
It is a souvenir worth buying dozens of souvenirs to take the plane home, and it is a nostalgic taste worthy of generations of Lake University students.
" 202 Lushan South Road "
No. 202 Lushan South Road has become the code name for the students of Lake University, where there is a delicious dish that they taste every day but are not known to the public.
Lao Ta Ta also likes to do business in the south of the Foothills, "I like to deal with the student boys, my family is worried about my body, but I still want to make sugar oil here, and I will not do anything else." ”
The teenagers are young, and the old man is very old.
There is a laughing aunt who is an apprentice in Lao Ta Ta, her hands are a little clumsy, and she always accidentally sticks them together when turning over glutinous rice dumplings. The old man smiled and calmly took the shovel and turned it over.
" Delicious with a deadline "
There are some delicacies that have a time limit.
They don't get old with time, they just disappear with the disappearance of people.
The old man sugar oil candy is also such a time-limited delicacy, eating less than one day a day, I don't know when the old man will not do it.
When I was a child, I ate the simple satisfaction of sugar oil and rice dumplings, so let's experience it on Lushan South Road.
