Although it is also called powder, Nanjian's pot oil powder and Baoshan's thin bean flour bait have a completely different feeling.
Many years ago, the old editor once went to Nanjian County, which was a shabby town, the county seat was only two or three narrow streets, opposite the old bus station, there was a stall selling local snacks and a pot of oil powder.
Pot oil powder, is a quite Yi flavor of the snack food in Nanjian, about also with a variety of bean products as the main raw materials made, rough look, placed on the small wooden table large pieces of oil powder is not only translucent, golden, golden layer by layer, as if it can arouse people's appetite.
Unlike snacks in other places, most of them are denominated in bowls, tasting Nanjian's pot oil powder is a pound, the four of us immediately asked for a pound, the stall owner first cut the oil powder into thin strips, and then added soy sauce, pepper oil, fragrant tea, green onions, peppers, and then the aroma was overflowing.
Even Mr. Huang, chairman of Malaysia's Zhonghua News and Fujian Dama Tea Industry, directly called for delicious food, and then another bowl.
According to Qin'er's mother, 70 years ago, Baoshan did not have anything to eat, and Qin'er's grandfather, Mr. Ji Liang, served as the transportation commander of the "Stilwell Highway" in the late anti-Japanese War, stationed in Baoshan.
Every time it came time to eat breakfast, Mr. Ji would let the guards go to the neighborhood to sell two boxes of thin bean flour bait, give Qin'er's grandmother and old mother, and go to the officer's canteen to accompany the American and British advisers to eat bread + coffee.
I later also often went to Baoshan interview, specifically tasted the thin bean powder bait silk, Baoshan bait silk and Kunming bait silk is not the same thing, not only as fine as gossamer, but also dry bait silk, cooked in a small pot and poured into a large porcelain bowl, plus a large spoon of thin bean flour, as for the ingredients are minced garlic, paprika, coriander, green onions, pickles, salt, soy sauce, etc., the owner put it in a large plate, guests can take it themselves.
I remember that during my stay in Baoshan, although there were rice noodles, noodles, buns and other breakfasts prepared for guests in the hotel, I was still willing to go to the snack bar outside, spend 6 yuan, and enjoy a taste of thin bean flour bait.
