While watching and chatting| gossiping about steamed buns

Kotatsumi had eaten steamed buns, but he didn't know how to write the word "buns", and he hadn't figured it out in his old age. This "steamed bread" teacher also has to pay homage to the entrepreneurs of the Fengxian Jinshuiyuan community who run oily food. It was past lunchtime to visit the "Nine Trees" Future Art Center that day, so I strolled to Jinshuiyuan, and suddenly a smell of oil came to my nose, and there were oil buns sold now.

Ten yuan a pound of steamed buns, different from the original pair of pairs of singles to buy, hungry and hungry, took a large bag, one by one broken into the mouth, is the taste of the former oil buns. So I asked the entrepreneur, and he told the allusion to the "bun" and the bun without thinking. I went home and checked "Ci Hai", and sure enough, this bun really has a story. I think that there must be many friends who have tasted the oil steamed buns, who are familiar with the aroma of oil steamed bread, and I am afraid that I am not the only one who does not know how to write and does not distinguish the source of the steamed bread, right?

Steamed buns are an ancient food. Western Han Dynasty Shiyou "Urgent Article" Volume II: "Jujube apricot melon dish food." Yan Shigu's ancient note: "The words of the food are scattered, and the boiled rice makes the divergence also." It is called Zhang Huang, and it is also seen that it is open and big. "The latter kind of fried pasta, specifically refers to steamed bread, which shows the intention of the ancients to say steamed bread. As a gift of food, steamed bread is not only a metaphor for "opening" and giving people a "big hair", but also because it can be stored for ten days and a half months, so it is quite popular among the people. For example, "Qingping Shan Tang Dialect Ben • Neck Mandarin Duck Society" "Pingdan bought two boxes of cakes and steamed bread, and hired a top car to send his mother back".

In ancient times, the steamed bun was also called a cold tool, and what it was meant was first seen in the Zhou Li And Li Ren. Cold utensils are cold food made from wheat, rice, millet and other raw materials, which are fried by noodles, and generally refer to foods that can be cooled after cooking. Originally, the ancients did not cook food every year in the Qingming Cold Festival, and stored green dough, steamed buns, twist flowers and other cold utensils that could be stored for many days. For example, Su Dongpo praised women for making cold utensils in poetry: "The thin hands are rubbed into jade numbers, and the green oil is fried to make a tender yellow deep." Night spring sleep is not heavy, squash the beauty wrapped around the gold. The twenty-fifth of the "Compendium of Materia Medica, Grain", is a cold device: it can "facilitate defecation, moisturize the intestines, and disperse the cold in the warmth." "The steamed bun also has a therapeutic effect, subverting my concept.

It is difficult to see the oil steamed buns on the market, and there were not many oil buns in the big cake shops that year, generally after the morning market or the afternoon market opened the oil pot. At that time, the target customers were some people who needed "material supplements", for example, the daughter-in-law of the northern Jiangsu family made confinement, and the in-laws would buy sesame oil steamed buns every three to five places. I remember that at that time, the mother-in-law of the next door neighbor Teacher Li once said that adding brown sugar to the steamed buns was a bowl of sesame oil steamed bun soup, fragrant and sweet, and when the stomach was hungry, it was a snack, and it could replenish blood and nourish the qi, which was the best tonic for the mother.. This may be the same as jiangnan people eating brown sugar long noodles. The owner of the cigarette paper shop downstairs, Ah Liu, is skinny and bony, and the lane people call him "rib essence" behind his back, but he uses soy milk to soak a bowl of sesame oil steamed buns every day to eat, and never sees him have a headache and brain fever.

Is the oil bun really effective? I don't know, but the hemp oil bun became a neighboring healer, but I witnessed it with my own eyes. Former guest hall Shaoxing old lady and pavilion between the sister-in-law for many years, one summer Shaoxing old lady stomach pain old problem, the pavilion sister-in-law bought a stack of oil buns with red paper on it, teach her how to take, Shaoxing old lady problem soon saw good, the two families also returned to good.

The oil steamed bun has a wide audience and is a favorite food of the Chinese family, and it is almost extinct in Shanghai except for some supermarkets. Entrepreneurs said that residents are happy to eat, of course, it is not just needed, steamed bread was not originally a "foreign wealth" business, small business, enjoy myself.

The simple and unpretentious few words of the entrepreneur expressed the inherent tension of the steamed bun, the endurance that should be managed, and the vitality of life. The dough is pulled into thin strips and wrapped around the fingers, and it is golden into the oil pot, and the delicious taste is real and beautiful. In fact, people must have vitality in their lives, and the diligent law of entrepreneurship and profit or employment must have endurance and the tension of brilliant life, which may also be the inspiration given by the steamed bun.
