The weather is getting cooler, especially since it's raining again recently, and the cold wind has whizzed in, adding a layer of coolness. It is said that a layer of autumn rain and a layer of cool, looking at this day of rain, the obvious cold weather has come, autumn has come, will winter be far away?
To say that in this cold weather, which grounded snacks can make people feel warm and baked, then one of them is not "baked sweet potatoes", baked sweet potatoes in Wuxi also known as "baked sweet potatoes", used to be very common, on the street, at the entrance of the new village, or on both sides of the road, when it is cold, there will always be some baked sweet potatoes out of the stall, generally are pushing a cart, is the kind of baked sweet potato barrel, a row of baked sweet potatoes on top. When I went to the People's Hospital a few years ago, I saw it at the door, and the business was quite good.
This kind of baked sweet potato, in the early days, can be said to be a very common snack, and are more grounded, not so exquisite, children especially like, buy one in the winter to hold in the hand, but also hot hands, wait until it is slightly less hot, and then put it in the mouth to eat. The baked sweet potatoes on the street are very sweet, and many people are enthusiastic about it. It is also resistant to freezing, can be full, and is also very tasty, especially loved.
Today, baked sweet potatoes are still emerging, but without the "shabby" facilities that were decades ago, they seem to have become more refined. In addition to the kind of baked sweet potato buckets that are often seen on the street, later there are more machines to bake sweet potatoes, put the sweet potatoes in one yard, rotate, heat, and then take them out. The machine is also transparent and can see the process of baking sweet potatoes inside. But it always feels like something is missing, is it the kind of "shabby" and grounded atmosphere of the past? Or is there not so much anticipation?
In addition, there are some new types of baked sweet potato equipment, which also makes sweet potatoes healthier in the process of baking. In short, the standard of living has improved, and everyone is becoming more and more meticulous and exquisite about eating. In the past, the phenomenon of buying and eating with the flow of the hand has been much less.
Baked sweet potatoes, generally bought more on the street, and baked at home, why not bake sweet potatoes on the street as sweet potatoes? First of all, in the process of baking sweet potatoes, water loss and sugar concentration; secondly, as the temperature rises, some of the starch in sweet potatoes will be decomposed into maltose, and the sweetness is relatively higher. And the baked sweet potatoes on the street are generally continuously heated at high temperatures, and the decomposition enzyme has time to turn more starch into sugar, which is sweeter to eat. If it is a home microwave oven baking sweet potatoes, the baking time is generally not long; while steaming, the moisture in the sweet potatoes is higher, and it is not so sweet to eat.
When it comes to the winter, the baked sweet potatoes on the street will appear one after another, and then eat a bite of the baked sweet potatoes to see if the taste at that time is still there, maybe we are impressed by the growth experience at that time.
