The day before yesterday, that is, last Saturday afternoon, I went back to my hometown along Yihe Road, passing by the Tongjiang Pot Cake Shop in Dongbaixu Village, Qingyun Town, Linshu, and couldn't help but stop the car and move a large pot cake that had just come out of the pot.
The pan cake is more than ten centimeters thick, weighs 11 pounds, and only 25 yuan, which is much more affordable than pancakes and baking cards. The pancakes are steaming hot and the aroma in the car is fragrant.
The pot cake that just came out of the pot, the outside layer of burnt yellow incense pot, the inside is a white yellow urn, soft and delicious, the noodles are fragrant, you can eat a full meal without cooking. When you are full, you are also particularly resistant to hunger.
Probably because the pot cake is round, large and heavy, it needs to be carried with two hands, and our hometown calls buying pot cake "moving pot cake".
There are pot cakes all over Linyi, and the style is different. Tancheng Lizhuang has mille-feuille cakes, Lanshan Fangcheng's big pot cakes, Yishui Yinan also has pot cakes, but the pot cakes in northern Linshu he Junan are the thickest.
Making pot cakes is a powerful job. The amount of flour is large, and the surface requires strength. And the end of the noodles, you need to use a bar to press one side at a time, so that the surface and the surface are even and ribbed.
Now, with a dough machine, it saves a lot of trouble to make pot cakes.
Pot cakes are refractory, smoky and burning, young people are reluctant to dry, and there are fewer and fewer pot cakes.
The Tongjiang pot cake shop is the boss alone, and the boss lady sometimes comes to help weigh and sell. Four pans of iron pans are powered at the same time, which is much more powerful than heating.
The temperature in the pot cake shop, many elderly people around came to warm up, and some even set up tables to play cards.
Not only is it the case with pot cakes, but also traditional pasta dishes such as beef hoof cakes, but also because of the effort and effort, there are fewer and fewer.
In a few years, these traditional interviews may only be tasted in memory, by memory.
This kind of large pot cake is not only a pasta, but also a gift, every New Year's Festival, moving a pot cake to give to people, it is also strange and decent.
In particular, the first time the son-in-law went to his mother-in-law's house to give gifts, this kind of large pot cake is often a must. One for each of the elderly families. So sometimes you have to move several pans.
A large pot of cakes, plus a box of wine, etc., a few people carry, walking the streets and alleys, door to door to deliver, you can see and touch, there is a face inside, it is very eye-catching.
This pot cake is durable, and I know that there are four ways to eat it:
One is to eat it while it's hot. Eating it while it's hot is the most enjoyable and the most delicious.
One is to eat it. The leftover pan cake is easy to dry, put in a pot for a distillation, soft and delicious, another taste.
One is to eat it up. A little cultural, called "risotto cake". It is also delicious to put more fried pans of green onions, bring the water to a boil, beat a few eggs, and then put in the broken or cut pan cakes.
One is to eat it in a soak. Break the pan cake and soak it in the cooked pork soup and mutton soup, so as not to lose the lamb steamed buns in Xi'an.
unbelief? You move a pan cake to try. If you don't grasp it, you won't find such a traditional food.
