The Spring Festival is approaching, and the taste of the New Year is getting stronger. The People of Songjiang have a custom of making glutinous rice cakes in the New Year. Square cake is not only delicious, but also the meaning is also very good, cake and "high" harmonic sound, representing everyone's career and living standards are getting higher and higher every year.
In Songjiang Shihudang Town, although some villages have moved and the villagers have lived in beautiful neighborhoods, they always feel that something is missing during the New Year's Festival. At this opportunity, there are always some people who drag their families and go straight to the homes of relatives who still live in the countryside to relieve their homesickness, eat a farmhouse meal, make a pot of black tea, sit on an old rattan chair, immerse themselves in the leisure time of the afternoon, and remember their childhood...
And what makes everyone happiest is to make glutinous rice cakes. Some people are responsible for chopping firewood and preparing for the fire, and people with skillful minds are responsible for stirring and sifting powder, and the children at home will also come together to make trouble, and in less than a while, the children will become big white faces, playing and playing, so it is not lively.
After seven or eight processes, everyone put the square cake on the pot to steam, and as the firewood slowly turned red, the steaming drawer also hulala white gas.
In small talk, the hot square cake came out. The adults arranged the square cakes in an orderly row and stamped them with red stamps on the steaming square cakes. The children couldn't wait to reach out and grab it, blowing and stuffing it in their mouths. Bulging cheeks round the little face, eating it in the mouth, sweet in the heart.
Although there are now automated machines, it is much more convenient to make square cakes, but everyone still prefers this traditional practice, missing this "noisy" New Year's taste and unforgettable hometown taste.
