My hometown Wuchuan mountain climbing tune in the "fried oil cake", is a food that men and women of all ages like to eat, every New Year's Festival, building a house and pressing the stack, red and white happy events, are inseparable from eating cakes. The first dish of the banquet is the freshly fried cake, wuchuan people call it lining cake, so the Wuchuan people have the saying that "marry the daughter-in-law to eat the oil cake, grace and love to the old"; eat cake on the birthday of the festival, and associate the "cake" with the step-by-step ascension and high rise; which family moves to a new house, everyone will instigate: "If you don't eat cakes when you move, you will move three times a year." You see, how important it is to eat cakes.

The fried cake is delicious and not difficult to make. It is made from millet. First of all, we must choose seeds with full grains, and only the cake made by this kind of cake is soft and strong. Peel off the skin of the yellow rice, that is, into yellow rice, and then processed into noodles, of course, the finer the better, that is, yellow rice noodles. The second is to first put the yellow rice noodles with water and water, the water should be appropriate, and the noodles can be rubbed into a ball, the dough must be rubbed repeatedly, and then sprinkled on the cage to steam, first sprinkled a layer, until the color of this layer of cake is dark yellow, and then sprinkle a layer until the sprinkling is finished. Finally, cover the pot, steam for a few minutes, pour into a basin or knead on the dough, that is, vegetarian cake. Vegetarian cakes pay the most attention to softness and tendons, and the villagers joke that they use an iron spoon to shovel a piece of cake, and drag it from the house to the door. Although this is an exaggeration, it does also show the soft tendons of The Wuchuan oil cake. Finally, the vegetarian cake is held into an egg-sized one, kneaded, wrapped with some bean paste, patted into a round slice shaped like a mooncake, and then fried in a pot of boiling vegetable oil, and fished out when the skin is deep yellow. This fried cake is yellow, slick, fragrant, and crispy and soft, which is really mouth-watering.

In the past, farmers had a hard time, and it was rare to eat a few fried cakes throughout the year. But the people of my hometown are known for their warm hospitality and honesty. As long as there are guests at home, they always try to eat a meal of fried cakes, and sometimes have to go to the east and west to borrow oil and cake noodles. When eating, the host let the guests eat first, in fact, they are afraid that the cake is not enough to eat, even so, they will not forget, after the fried cake, first for the neighbors of the children to send a few hot fried cakes and a bowl of yam painted vermicelli. In the mouths of the people in my hometown, there is still a saying that goes by: "Send cakes between the walls, and deliver them one by one." That is, the meaning of etiquette.

Because of this, in people's daily lives, many stories about cakes are also made up. It is said that the two old men were chatting, and one of them said: "I don't know what the emperor of the past ate one day?" Another replied, "It's nothing more than eating fried cakes and painting vermicelli noodles." "It can be seen that they regard fried cake as the best meal in the world." Now, the hometown of Wuchuan has undergone great changes, the villagers' lives have also stretched, whenever they want to eat fried cakes, although they also know that there are too many delicious things in the world, but they still have a fondness for fried cakes. As the people in my hometown made up a slip of the tongue: "Fried cake in the morning, oil cake in the noon, oil cake in the evening, three cakes a day, the day step by step." "Eating cakes has become a home-cooked meal. There are also many ways to eat, steaming, boiling, frying, frying, feeding, roasting, frying, each with its own characteristics. Side dishes are also exquisite, winter painted vegetables, tofu, noodles, pork painted together; summer cold vegetables, bean sprouts, yam silk cool powder.
