Speaking of Luzhou's famous snacks, in fact, in addition to white cakes, yellow cakes, pig rice dumplings, Lunjiao cakes, crab yellow cakes, five-spice cakes, etc., I think there is also a bubble gum that has a history of more than 100 years. Today, luzhou local souvenirs have a certain popularity in the local area, that is because the memory of the older generation continues, to say an ugly word, no brand has been opened, let alone the whole country, in Sichuan can not be popularized.
The reason for this is that the two points of people's hearts have changed without the spirit of craftsmen, and what the ancestors left behind is either lost or unwilling to use the original method to say, in the name of these snacks, selling rotten feelings, partial outsiders, just putting on a show. With some snacks on the premise, the drinker said that he could not afford to eat. Why you can't afford to eat is not because of the price, please go to the personal understanding.
The second reason is that its history and inheritance are not respected, and the cultural thing is actually the inheritance and origin, which can be traced back to the source, and the so-called original intention is this meaning. But today these snacks themselves are specious, let alone their allusions, which is really ridiculous.
The Next Luzhou Naxi bubble gum that I want to introduce also has a history, and the wine seller has taken the time to consult the information for everyone to share, hoping to arouse everyone's memories and think about the return of ingenuity.
Someone wrote a poem like this to praise the bubble gum of Naxi:
"Naxi bubble gum crispy and fragrant, well-known as Tianfu famous." To recognize the exquisite art, please read the history to know more. ”
The famous Naxi bubble gum in Tianfu, also known as "Yunxi brand bubble gum". It is known for its "unique shape, exquisite craftsmanship, sweet, crisp, slag and delicious".
The product is made of fine white sugar, glutinous rice and sesame seeds as the main raw materials, and is made of more than 20 processes such as sugar, stirring, melting, caramel, boiling, cooking, standing, freezing, kneading, grilling, pulling, perforated, aerated, staged, cross-sectional, sesame, forming, packaging and so on. Each piece is fifteen centimeters long, five centimeters wide, and about one centimeter thick, and is a flat rectangular shape.
Speaking of bubble gum. According to the investigation, Naxi originally did not produce bubble gum, but was created by Leng Guilin, a sugar workshop worker in the county town in the past. On the basis of the Sichuan-style original production process "flower pole sugar", "sesame pole" and "hollow golden melon candy", he carefully studied and repeatedly improved, experienced more than 20 spring and autumn periods, comprehensive evolution, and finally created successfully in the last year of the Qing Dynasty (around 1910 AD).
Originally named "Guilin Jai Bubble Gum", it won the praise of the people as soon as it was answered by the city. Monopolize the crown of "gift treasures" in sugar food. It has gradually developed into a famous local specialty of Naxi and is known as the south of Sichuan. Of course, if you don't know this history, you still think that this sugar is passed down from Guilin, Guangxi, but it is not at all.
According to legend, in 1916, when the Protectorate Army asked Yuan, Comrade Zhu De commanded the famous Battle of Cotton Slope, and after the victory of the battle, when celebrating the merits of the Defending Army, the "Guilin Zhai Bubble Gum" award was specially awarded to the officers and soldiers to taste, and it was brought to various parts of his hometown to give gifts to the old and the old, and since then the bubble gum has become famous in the three provinces of Yun, Sichuan and Gui.
1940 - 1945, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the US Air Force frequently used the Lantian military airfield, and some officers of the US military were stationed at the camp at the east gate of Naxi County, when "Guilin Jai Bubble Gum" became a good product for them to accompany meals and hospitality. You see at that time this product was rushed out of Asia to the international, foreigners are eating well, but today a few know? The older generation knows that there are buys in Luzhou City, but what about sales? Please reflect.
With the progress of the times, after the founding of New China, bubble gum did not subside, there was once a "traditional good product day renewal, scientific research and development is better than the past." Sesame peeling increases color, and fruit acid substitution creates traces. " statement. At that time, Naxi bubble gum, due to the attention of local governments, production was developed. It was actually a good thing to have official attention, that era was full of waste, in order to meet the needs of the people, encourage further excellence, and add luster to the Sichuan Tianfu at that time.
Therefore, it is said that the naxi bubble gum production, which was famous for a hundred years, was "even higher in the exhibition building" in quality and quantity.
It is said that in 1978, Professor Hua Luogeng's "Preferential Method, Overall Planning Method" was also actively promoted. Under the on-site guidance of the Fahrenheit team, the quality of bubble gum was improved, the output was strengthened, the raw and auxiliary materials were saved, and the fourth prize of the sichuan province's major achievement in promoting the "double law" was won.
In November 1982, it was well received at the National Children's Food Chongqing Conference. Professor Dai Xing of the National Science and Technology Information Center Station said: "Naxi bubble gum is good! "At that time, the experts still knew how to do evil.
In February 1983, Sichuan Television filmed the process of Naxi bubble gum, and I wonder if this precious material can still be found after decades? It should be valuable if it could. In April of the same year, there were 30 kinds of high-quality traditional pastries in Beijing, and "Sichuan Bubble Gum", that is, Naxi Bubble Gum, was listed as one of them.
Today Naxi bubble gum has not been lost, as a local specialty of Luzhou is still available in the market, but always feel that something is missing? Three or two sentences of wine sellers are not clear. It is the kind of influence and brand value that should be possessed, the kind of satisfactory craftsmanship, and the temperament and connotation that can be on the table on any occasion.
I hope that this article can not only arouse everyone's memory of delicious food, but also hope that luzhou people who are often engaged in marketing can really sink down and find a road for Luzhou's native products.
