I remember when I was a child, I never went out of the village before I was a teenager, and the biggest thing I saw in the world was to go to the big market in the countryside. At that time, there would be a big set every 5 days in a township, and it was not like now, there were almost every day. The adults finished their meals early, and the children hurried to eat something, so they climbed onto the carriage, lest they leave themselves behind when the adults left. More than 10 miles of rural dirt roads, it takes more than an hour to walk, and it can only be reached by horse-drawn carriage. Unlike adults, children have their own tasks, and apart from hanging out, the only destination is a variety of stalls selling snacks, which is the most tempting place for children.
The most attractive children are the small traders who shuttle through the crowds to sell rock sugar gourds, each carrying a wooden stick, and at the top is a grass handle made of reed grass, which is filled with rows of rock sugar gourds. In order to attract business, they deliberately lengthened their throats and sold rock candy... The gourd is coming! Adults have a lot to do, in order for the children not to drag their legs, they will give each child a rock sugar gourd, take a bite, crunchy. At noon, when it comes to meals, adults will lead the children to the stall selling fried buns or fried fritters, and buy four or five fried buns or two or three fritters for each child, which is the ultimate purpose of the children to follow the market. The adults were reluctant to eat, so they all took dry food and water bottles, took a few bites, and they were about to return.
The time of childhood also passed away in this kind of hard day, and the children also grew up and had their own jobs. The only thing I can't forget is the happy time when I was a child with the adults to catch the big market, full of fireworks. Over time, I always miss the snacks on those rural markets, although they are not amazing and delicious, but they can never be forgotten. Later, many snacks also slowly withdrew from the historical stage and quietly disappeared from the rural market. This time, 9 kinds of snacks that gradually disappeared from the rural market were inventoried, and the last 1 kind was not seen by many young people:
<h1>1. Fry the bun in water</h1>
Fried buns are definitely the most luxurious feast on the rural markets of that era, and the good dough is full of a large basin, which is generally filled with leeks in summer and cabbage in winter. The filling is dry, without any seasoning, and the flavor comes from that big bowl of pork belly sauce. It is rare to eat meat, and that kind of fat meat is fragrant in the mouth, and there is enough soy sauce to marinate the diced pork belly into the taste. Without rolling out the skin, the master of the fried bun used a bamboo plate to skillfully press the filling, and finally pressed a small amount of pork belly filling with sauce, and squeezed the bottom mouth tightly.
A large pan with firewood burning underneath, "crackling", pour oil into the pan, fry the water frying bun until the bottom turns brown. Pour in the mixed noodle water, half cook and half fry, wait for the water to evaporate, and the water frying bun is almost cooked. Finally, drizzle with vegetable oil again, fry the batter with water at the bottom of the bun, fry it into a golden crispy charred skin, and eat it, which is called a fragrant.
<h1>2. Fry fritters</h1>
In addition to the fried buns, the most attractive thing for children is this fried fritter bar, which we locally call "fruit". In a large pot, the two embryos of fritter noodles are pressed together, and after the hot oil is added, it quickly floats up, and one is more than a foot long. Eat it hot and the most delicious, freshly fried fritters, take a bite and steam. If you apply a layer of sugar noodles to the fritters, the fried one is called "candy seeds", which adds a touch of sweetness.
<h1>Third, rock sugar gourd</h1>
Generally in the autumn and winter to catch the big market, there will be "rock sugar gourd", also known as "sugar dip". Vendors carry wooden sticks with straw handles, and rows of sugar gourds are neatly inserted in each eye hole. The deepest memory is still the sound of vendors stretching their throats and selling rock sugar gourds.
<h1>Fourth, burn the cake</h1>
This thin, crispy, sesame-stained pancake is our local specialty called "burnt bread". There are usually two kinds of salty and sweet, salt or sugar are added to the batter, rolled into small pancakes, and then glued with a layer full of sesame seeds. Stick it in a special oven and bake until the surface is slightly browned and has a seductive crispy smell. Be very careful when eating, if you don't pay attention to it, it is easy to bite, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.
<h1>5. Small honey food</h1>
This kind of snack, many friends are not strangers, that is, "honey three knives", we locally call "small honey food". A layer of skin is made of a base, and it is coated with a thick layer of sugar puff pastry, which is 2 cm thick. To facilitate frying, use a knife to draw rows of straight knife edges on the surface of the sugar puff pastry. When cutting the pieces, there are three knife lines on the surface of each piece of honey food, so it is called "honey three knives". When fried thoroughly in the frying pan, it produces the sweetest taste, and sometimes a bite pulls out a long shred of sugar.
<h1>Sixth, old-fashioned bread</h1>
For old-fashioned bread, many friends are not strangers, a plate of twenty or thirty, by one or by the pound. In that era, it was generally only when relatives were gone, or when they bought a few tastings for the elderly in the family, and they were generally reluctant to buy. Although the variety of pastries, cakes, and snacks is now dazzling and overwhelming, what makes people miss most is the aroma of this old bread.
<h1>7. Longevity cake</h1>
This longevity cake, with a similar ingredient to today's chiffon cake, is mainly eggs, flour, caster sugar, and vegetable oil. The mixed batter is squeezed out in long strips and baked until the surface is browned, and the fragrance that fills the air alone is enough to be seductive. Because this cake is mainly bought for the elderly to live, the shape is a long strip, so it is called "longevity cake".
<h1>8. Burn the furnace</h1>
Friends may feel that this snack is somewhat similar to the previous baked cake, and the surface is full of sesame seeds; however, the taste is very different. This kind of fire is much softer to eat than that kind of burnt cake, and there will be a layer of five-spice flour or shortbread noodles in the middle, a deep oven, and the roasted fire will bulge a round belly, and the middle is hollow.
<h1>9. Popcorn</h1>
The last snack on this rural market is estimated that many friends after the 80s and 90s have not seen it, at least this way and tool of popcorn have not been seen. A stove rack, burning red coal, poured corn kernels, sugar, and spices into the hearth. Then turning and shaking, when it came to the point, the teacher suddenly opened the hearth, accompanied by a loud bang, a "boom", smoke billowing, and the exploded cornflowers were thrown into the pockets of the head.
The 9 kinds of snacks that are disappearing on the rural market, the last one, most young people have not seen. Friends, when you were a child, you have a variety of snacks on the rural market, what kind of snacks you remember most deeply, you may wish to share it with your friends.
