Autumn is coming, everything is reborn, and it is the season of osmanthus blossoms, and the air is filled with a light and elegant atmosphere.
The footsteps of foraging in Cha nan also sensibly stopped at the door of the Anjia Osmanthus Tangyuan and lit the Osmanthus family barrel to complete this year's autumn ceremony.

Autumn is windy, shaking down a piece of osmanthus flowers.
Put the osmanthus flowers into the bowl and add another spoonful of sweetness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" >01 Osmanthus Tangyuan shop for more than 20 years </h1>
Anjia osmanthus tangyuan, which has been open for more than 20 years, has firmly held a place in the food map of Cha Nan.
Like many small restaurants in Cha Nan, this store is not large, about ten flat, two of the three tables in the store belong to diners, and one belongs to the boss and the boss lady.
On this small operating platform, the boss kneaded glutinous rice, removed the red bean skin, stirred the black sesame seeds, and then kneaded them into round and full tangyuan.
There are several large pots at the door, which contain the soup base of osmanthus tangyuan, osmanthus sugar taro seedlings, osmanthus red bean lantern and boiling water for boiling tangyuan.
After the rice balls are wrapped, they should first be placed in boiling water and rolled in a circle, then placed in the pot of osmanthus soup next door and continued to simmer until the taste.
Osmanthus flowers, dates, goji berries, brown sugar, taro and sake are a mixture of flavors that make it the most vivid and vivid solicitation sign on the street.
Previously, I thought that the osmanthus series of food and chestnuts were sold for a limited time according to the season, and it was not until the autumn to eat a bite. However, the hostess told us that his osmanthus had also been purchased from elsewhere.
This not only ensures that fresh osmanthus flowers are available from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but also the color is more vivid and beautiful. Homemade osmanthus sauce eight dollars a big bucket, go back to boil porridge soaked in water are very Les.
In addition to osmanthus flowers, there are also rice dumplings that are served all year round, but compared to the boiling rice balls in large pots, the rice dumplings in this season look snubbed in the tray.
Rounds of diners come and go, bowls of sweet and soft sticky. The hostess was busy from five o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening, filling up with a mouthful of sweetness that Jian Ye workers desperately needed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="111" >02 Contract the first bite of osmanthus in autumn</h1>
Even if it is the first time to come here, it will not be difficult to order, the red sign on the wall clearly writes the variety and price, not to mention that the small shop is not large, and there are many things sold.
A group of three of us directly served osmanthus tangyuan, osmanthus sugar taro seedlings, osmanthus red bean lantern and steamed rice balls on top of the table, and also went to the churros shop next door to bring two fritters.
There are six double-spelled medium osmanthus dumplings, three black sesame seeds and three red bean paste. When the hostess was in full, I wondered how to distinguish between these two, until I found out when I ate it, that the black sesame seeds were perfectly round, and the red beans were flat and round.
The white and yellow soft and tender tangyuan, and the boiled red dates and goji berries float on the brown sugar osmanthus soup, and the health index is directly full.
Two dollars a tangyuan is so big that one spoonful can't hold it. Tangyuan is smooth and soft glutinous, it is not too much to say that it is "blown bomb can be broken", i glutinous twitter people must eat.
A sentence with a thin skin filling is not enough to describe the black sesame dumplings, fried and harvested every autumn, and then crushed to add osmanthus nectar, directly sweetened and sweetened.
The flowing black sesame filling will rush out after a bite, although sweet, but the black sesame seeds ground enough to crush are also smooth, and the sweet taste will not cause discomfort to the throat
In contrast, the sweetness of the red bean filling is inferior, the red beans are ground very softly, there is no special taste in the mouth, and the taste is also affected by the brown sugar soup base.
The Red Bean Lantern has a more obvious wine flavor, boiled until a thick dark red wine, a spoonful of belly, mixed with the sweetness and fragrance of the small Lantern, red beans, osmanthus flowers, and sake lees.
Xiao Lantern is more chewy than Tangyuan, and the red beans melt in the mouth, and the sweetness is just right.
However, the thicker one is this bowl of osmanthus sugar taro seedlings, irregular taro seedlings are very soft and rotten, and only with the tongue and gums can crush the belly.
The soup base is filled with lotus flour and osmanthus flowers, and the boiling is thick and smooth, and sweet and fragrant. The sweetness is normal, and you can also eat it with confidence
If you are not hungry, you can also call the boss to make a steamed rice or add a roast duck egg, black rice balls wrapped in meat floss, pickles, egg yolks, spicy and crispy glutinous, all in this bite of rice balls.

It's past lunchtime, and there are still many people who come to the store to forage.
Dressed casually, only with a mobile phone, generally live nearby old customers, into the store does not need to look at the menu, and when the boss serves tangyuan, go to the next door to buy a fritter or burnt cake to eat, cook the door like back to their own home.
Some people have already eaten lunch and come over just to punch a bowl of bloggers with the same style, "Boss, which one is Uola eating?" ”
Others look like they are driving by and suddenly rising, parking their cars on the side of the road and entering the store to urge the boss to start packing, but also keeping an eye on the car, grasping the moment before the sticker is quickly run back to the car.
Compared with the two tables in the store, which are slightly cramped, the small table in front of the store is more popular, and on a rainy or sunny day, the boss will also lower the sunshade overhead.
If there is a person sitting at the small table in front of the osmanthus rice balls, you can take the bowl to eat at anyone's table nearby.
Cha Nan's small shops are dense, most of the shops are not high-end, the main grounding, but also give people a full sense of intimacy and belonging.
The autumn breeze is wrapped in freshness, and when it blows to the door of the osmanthus tangyuan in Cha Nan, there is more of a hint of free sweetness.
