The Qingming Festival is approaching, the reporter recently visited the market and found that the qingtuan salty and sweet "dou taste", there are also many novel flavors; the crumbs are hot online and offline, and the average daily sales of stall owners exceed 200 pounds.
Youth League
Traditional tastes dominate Novelty flavors attract young people to punch in
■ Youth dough fills supermarket shelves.
The reporter visited and found that the dispute between the salty and sweet of the Youth League was silently started. RT-Mart Xiamen launched a long green dough counter, full of sweet green dough such as bean paste, black sesame seeds, and red beans. In Wal-Mart supermarkets, Qingtuan also occupies the most prominent position on the shelves, and the taste is mainly bean paste filling, black sesame seeds, peanut filling, etc. Yuanchu Food sells a lot of salty green dough, such as egg yolk meat floss, spicy three-ding stuffing, snow shoot meat filling, etc., and there is no shortage of novel flavors - pineapple, mango, flowing flower milk, etc.
"Make the youth dough into a dessert 'Snow Lady', or the first time to see, try it." A young couple chose to buy a milk dough with flowing flowers after a brief exchange.
In the RT-Mart supermarket, there are also fancy cake dumplings of different colors, attracting many citizens to stop. "It's not sweet, it's only available before the Tomb Sweeping Festival." The staff actively recommends to customers. The reporter noted that the taste is mostly blueberries, grapes, osmanthus flowers, roses, etc., and the price per kilogram is 19.9 yuan.
In addition to offline supermarkets, online platforms such as Pu Pu and Ele.me have also changed significantly. Not only are there more options available, but there are also a lot of purchases on display. Some of them are sold out, and the page reads "Popularity soars to No. 1" on the page.
It should be noted that the green dough is mainly made of glutinous rice flour, which is high in calories and difficult to digest, and can be tasted in moderation, and should not be eaten more.
Pancakes
Seasonal spring vegetables are tender and delicious
Qingming is a good time to taste
In addition to the youth group, pancakes are also the "taste memory" of many Xiamen people. The reporter visited and found that there are stalls in large and small farmers' markets, and the citizens who buy them are endless.
■Spread the crust
"Most people in Xiamen will make their own pancakes and eat them." Huang Fang, an authentic old Xiamen native who lives near Jiangtou, said that although pancakes can be eaten at any time now, "eating pancakes in the Qingming Dynasty" is a traditional custom, and before and after the Qingming Festival, fresh seasonal spring vegetables such as kohlrabi, carrots, horseshoes, bamboo shoots and so on are tender and delicious, which is a good season to eat pancakes.
"During the Qingming Festival, the family will wrap pancakes and come back from the grave as lunch." Ms. Cai, who bought crabies in a small shop, said that Xiamen crepes, also called spring rolls, are generally not fried, but are directly wrapped in fried pancake crusts such as bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, dried beans, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, oysters and other meats and vegetables with fried fillings.
"The filling of the crepes is simple, but the crusts are a bit of a test." Huang Fang said that a good crusb should be thin enough and not easy to break, and he usually buys it directly, and the filling is cut into small pieces and stewed according to the family's preferences.
The reporter found that online platforms have also launched pancake crust monopolies. Taking Pupu Supermarket as an example, there are both cake crusts produced in Fuzhou and Nanxiang cake crusts, a time-honored Chinese brand from Shanghai, and "thin skin, not easy to break" is a high-frequency evaluation word.
