It is estimated that the vast majority of people who read the article have heard the name and have not actually eaten it. Sanhe mud is really called the elder of Chengdu snacks, but now it has almost disappeared from urban life, and only old Chengdu can recall the taste of the old sanhe mud at the intersection of Lao Chunxi.
It is said that the triad mud was founded in 1926 by Chengdu people Huangshushan and Zhou Daxing, initially by the two people in the Nine Eyes Bridge cooperative operation, after huangshu mountain alone for more than 30 years, and continuous research and improvement, because of its rich nutrition and low price, welcomed by the masses, known as "Nine Eyes Bridge Triad mud". Later, it was operated by Guyuehu Sweet Shop, so it was also known as "Guyuehu Sanhe Mud".
Huang Shushan's hometown Jintang, who lived in Taipingxia Street in the south of the Nine Eyes Bridge in Chengdu (a section of the present-day Silk Pipe Road, has been built into a famous bar street), and the three-in-one mud he made has three major characteristics, the first is the material. The main ingredients are rice, glutinous rice and soybeans, the rest are peanuts, walnuts, preserves, brown sugar, sugar, lard, etc., of which lard is the most distinctive, it is made of lard oil, and no lard is used, which may be one of the reasons why his triad mud has a special flavor.
The second feature of Huang's triad mud is a single pot of small stir-frying, which is fried and sold now. Put a lump of lard in the pot and burn it, until it is 60% hot, then shovel a lump of semi-finished products under the pan, repeatedly stir-fry the aroma, continue to fry the peanuts and walnuts until fragrant, and finally add the candied seeds and stir-fry. Young people like to eat crispy, the boss will fry the pot, crisp and not paste, the elderly can fry more glutinous, depending on the person, sweet lovers can add sugar, each take what they need. In short, the taste is casual, in order to satisfy everyone, to feel its fragrance. A bowl of oily, shiny triad clay, scooped into the mouth little by little with a spice spoon, chewed carefully, and the fragrance is thorough.
In the memory, the fragrant oil-spraying triad mud should be light brown, and there will be some crushed peanut kernels, sesame seeds, walnuts and preserved fruits mixed in. Eat in the mouth, that fragrant, that sweet, that sticky, that chewy head. ------------------
Because of its unique production method, multi-oil and sugar, eating too much is very easy to make people greasy, Huangshushan cleverly solved this problem, whenever the guest eats the triad mud, he will serve a bowl of steaming red and white tea to relieve the grease. People who have not experienced here must not know what black and white tea is, in fact, it is a specialty of Shifang Hongbai Town, different from other teas, this product is more than the wild tea trees that are hundreds of years old in Yinghua and Hongbai Mountains, Sichuan people are also known as eagle tea, there is a thirst quenching, the effect of eating and filling, hot days drinking more cool, and the three mud is a perfect match, making people endlessly evocative.
Honestly, I was not born in that era of material poverty, I can't imagine how tempting the sanhe mud was for the children at that time, I remember reading some articles about the sanhe mud on the Internet, there was an author who wrote that when he was a child, he was led by his father through countless long alleys to find the stalls of the triad mud, the kind of expectation in the search, the greed and excitement of eating when the memory is warm and sweet, such a snack has a real strong vitality.
There are many reasons why the mud has disappeared now, in the era of the general lack of oil and meat, the greasy and sweet mud has become the best choice to understand hunger and enhance feelings. Now the material is abundant, candy sweets emerge in an endless stream, and the elimination of triad mud also reflects the natural selection of the gastronomic industry. Even if the appearance is not good, high calories are not healthy, Sanhe mud is still a sichuan special snack, is an integral part of Sichuan's food culture, and looks forward to its revival.
