Once upon a time, when the electronic music of "only mothers in the world is good" was heard in the streets and alleys, we couldn't wait to take our pocket money and follow the sound, waiting for a motorcycle with an iron box to come to us. As soon as the box is opened, the aroma of glutinous rice mixed with peanuts and sesame seeds comes to the nose, which is the delicious snack we have in mind- Jiaoluo Money.
Jiaoluo qian, is a traditional Chaoshan snack made after cooking glutinous rice, also known as "falling soup money", chao proverb: "fall soup money, eat money will fall". Chaoshan people have always liked to hide this beautiful meaning in food, and turn the chai rice oil and salt of life into delicious delicacies.
Glutinous rice is warm, beneficial to stop diarrhea, tonify the qi, the main thirst, the effect of warming the spleen and stomach, the glue made of glutinous rice, dipped in the sauce mixed with sugar after stir-frying and mashing, the taste is sticky and sticky, and then the Chaoshan Gongfu tea is simply a small blessing in life.
Jiaoluo Qian also plays a "big role" in "sending gods to heaven" on the twenty-fourth day of the Waxing Moon. On the 24th day of the waxing moon, every household should worship the vesta god "Si Ming Gong", and Jiaoluo Qian is an indispensable sacrifice (the Mianhu people sometimes use the branding as a sacrifice), and the legend is that the Stove God "Si Ming Gong" is the protective god sent by the Jade Emperor to each household. Preparing glue money on the offering table can make the god of Vesta say more good things for this family when reporting to the Emperor of Heaven, and let the god of Vesta "eat people's mouths softly". Of course, there is also a saying in Mianhu That Jiaoluo Qian is also a worshipper of the five-pointed grandfather, praying for the abundance of grain.
The production process of jiaoluoqian is not cumbersome, the glutinous rice flour and water are stirred in a certain proportion, poured into a dish smeared with a little oil for steaming, and then divided into small pieces. Then the mashed peanuts and sesame seeds are sautéed until they give off their aroma, then mixed with sugar to form a dip for gum money, and the steamed glutinous rice balls are rolled over the dipping sauce and eaten.
Nowadays, although it is rare to see the rubber money in the alley, the sweet taste of childhood still lingers in the heart. If you have free time, you may wish to make a glue money yourself and reminisce about the beauty of your childhood!
