Happy New Year!
"Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, wipe the window and sweep the floor to clean the stove." The twenty-third day of the lunar month is the "little year" in the north. On this day, the folk have the custom of sacrificing stoves, sweeping dust, and eating stove sugar.
Do you eat hemp candy?
According to the old saying: Stick the mouth of the stove king with sugar, and when he reaches heaven, he will not report bad things in the family to the Jade Emperor. Now, there are still sugar sellers, but they are only enjoyed by everyone, and they no longer stick to the mouth of the king of the stove.
——Lao She, "Spring Festival in Beijing"
Heicheng Village, Tokto County, Hohhot, is a well-known hemp sugar village, where villagers have passed down the art of hand-making hemp candy for generations.
Steaming yellow rice, mixing yellow rice with malt for fermentation, boiling sugar, cooling, pulling sugar, dispensing, separating, cooling...
From three o'clock in the morning to four or five o'clock in the afternoon, after several processes, the fragrant, crisp and sweet hemp sugar finally appeared in front of us.
So sweet!
Sweetness is an indispensable part of the "taste of the year".
In addition to the hemp candy (sugar melon) to be eaten in the new year, in Beijing, sachima and pea yellow are good products for entertaining guests;
In the south, cloud cakes, rice cakes, peanut candy and sesame candy are also popular.
Sweet honey is a portrayal of people's happy life, but also a blessing and wish for the New Year, and thus becomes a memory of the new year's taste Chinese.
This little year,
The reporter of The Pentium Media takes you
Make hemp sugar with immersion.
Stir-fry the sesame seeds to a high level,
Boiled honey laughs every day!
