Jiangnan snacks "sock sole crisp" and "shoe sole board" sound very ugly, but it is a bit exciting to eat.
Sock bottom crisp
Jiangnan Ancient Town sells cookies and snacks for a long time. Criticism is criticized, and not many can be greatly improved. The reason is probably related to the fact that it still has a considerable market space enough to "live", and it is really difficult to tell it to roll aside, such as "sock bottom crisp".
Similar to cat coffee, duck fragrant single fir, etc., sock bottom crisp sounds very ugly, but it is a bit tough to eat.
Of course, the name is stripped from the "socks", but no one can know the exact origin of it; but at least, it is common sense to have socks first and then "sock bottom crisp".
When did Chinese start wearing socks? Generally speaking, most of the people in the pre-Qin Dynasty were "foot-stomping", that is, barefoot (wearing shoes); by the Han Dynasty, the records of wearing socks began to increase. What we need to understand, however, is whether socks at the time were equivalent to socks today. The Sui Dynasty Emperor wrote a frivolous poem: "The pace is slow and weak, and the face is moving." Jin sleeve Huainan dance, treasure socks Chu Palace waist. "Did you see clearly?" The "socks" here are worn around the waist, equivalent to a belt or a belly button , a belly pocket , used to tie the protruding belly. "Socks" that intersect with today's socks should be written as "socks". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xi said in the "Interpretation of Names": "襪, the end also." At the end of the foot also. "That's right.
If in ancient times, "韈", "韨", and "襪子", or abbreviated or mixed with "socks", the consequences would be serious: First, people felt that a male comrade was too concerned about what the female comrade's belt and belly pocket were doing, and the style was not very decent; second, the large-scale "sock bottom crisp" like a belt and a belly pocket could not be done by anyone and no one could buy it.
The evolution of ancient socks to today's socks is a long process. Socks, in terms of shape, have rice dumplings, leggings, pillows, etc.; in terms of materials, there are leather, luo, silk, silk, linen, cotton, felt, brocade and so on.
Cultural relics excavated from Han tombs such as Mawangdui show that the prototype of socks had already been taken at that time, but unfortunately, the time was not ripe to properly hook up with the "sock bottom crisp". Song Ren Tao Sui's "Qing YiLu": "Tang system, Li Dong into a thousand heavy socks, its method uses more than ten layers of Luo Shuai, brocade sandwich network." "I think that the Tang Dynasty's "thousand heavy socks" are the most important objects of "sock bottom crisp"!
To become a qualified "sock bottom crisp", not only to conform to the type and form of modern socks, but also to echo the basic texture of socks, for example, it is best to weave ramie or thick thread rather than silk or nylon weaving, so as to fully reflect its originality, coarseness and folkness; the rich layer comes from multiple folding; the crispy combination is a crisp guarantee, otherwise the word "crisp" cannot be implemented; grasp the baking node to ensure that it is baked at the moment when it is not scorched; the color is controlled between gold and purple gold...
Many people regard "cakes are expensive and loose, and cakes are thin" ("Idle Love Dolls") as a classic, which is of course good. But too much attachment is unnecessary. Thin, is a spatial concept, a technical means, and an imaginative and delicious freeze-frame, but it does not fully represent the standard of eating - a burrito as thin as a cicada's wing (wrapped roast duck) or a less stuffed poria cake, is it delicious? I never look at it more. Therefore, the positioning of "sock bottom crisp" as "not thick pancakes" is also good.
In fact, although it is common for urban food stores to sell "sock bottom puff pastry", they are all labeled as "pretzels" and abandon the name of "sock bottom". I don't know what kind of consideration this is, or maybe it is the reaction of the "siege psychology" - the people in the city only want to stay in the city, the people outside the city only want to stay outside the city; the places that can not be exquisite are deliberately exquisite, and the places that can be exquisite are deliberately not exquisite. The mall never refuses business, and what is interesting is the practical style of "singing what songs to what mountain".
Tourists who set foot in the ancient town are actually more like "tongue tourists". The fragrant, crisp, small, ingenious, and wild of the "sock bottom crisp"; plus a few sesame seeds are like freckles on the face of a child, and the innocence of the steep increase is just pleasing to them. I can't eat enough, I still want to eat; I can't eat, I walk around... It is popular with the small boss who sells "sock bottom puff pastry".
"Shoe sole board" is a snack for graduating from the same "school" as "sock sole crisp". Who is the senior and who is the apprentice is more difficult to define.
Sole board (also known as "sole cake")
The area of the "sole board" is obviously larger than the "sock sole crisp". Isn't it, shoes are supposed to be larger than socks. Not the sole of any shoe can become the template of the "sole board", in the eyes of people of the upper age, the "sole board" corresponds to only cloth shoes, or with a handmade needle sole - leaving a distinct stitch trajectory, there is irregularity, there is lack of smoothness, these are the "sole board" after baking the state that should be. It is different from the "sock bottom crisp" in that it is thicker; bigger, more clumsy, clumsy; there are several circles on the surface - this is a natural crack produced by layering; it is crisp but not loose, hard and tough; the taste stimulation caused by the interaction of green onions, salt grains, and ghee is a little rough...
There is also an incomparable difference between "shoe sole board" and "sock sole puff pastry" - the "sock sole puff pastry" store sells, while the "shoe sole board" is almost only sold in the canteen operated by the unit.
If the "sock sole crisp" reflects the ingenuity of the peasants, then the "shoe sole board" reflects the clumsiness of the workers.
If I had to take sides between the two, I chose the "sole board".
"Good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't always bloom." The civilian "sole board" is sometimes absent, or even simply no longer showing its face - this is the "pain point" of foodies who prefer it. So, "teach me how not to want her"! (West Slope)
