The so-called classic things, whether they are characters or things, must have wonderful and fascinating stories. It is not easy to have a place in a city with a thousand-year-old traditional culture and be recognized by many gluttons.

Recently, many of my friends talked about a snack with relish, saying that "there is a family mao station pot paste dumplings, after eating the fresh fragrance overflowing, lips and teeth remain fragrant, long and not scattered." I began to disagree, one is that I am a hardcore gourmet, and the other is one of the few snacks in Suzhou City, and even traditional dishes, where I don't know, and have tasted them all, such as: what (sound SA) soup, eel spicy soup, old flavor bean juice, bawang bieji, old meat slices and so on.

Coincidentally, on the third day of the winter solstice, I got up for a walk in the morning, went out of the north gate of the community, turned west along the south side of the street, and saw many diners queuing up at the door of a snack shop.

Unexpectedly, this praised snack was actually opened on my doorstep, so I went into the store and lined up to ask for a pot with half a meat and vegetable.

Standing in front of the frying pan is the owner of the shop, about forty years old, not very tall, very energetic, he turned the pot sharply with one hand, started the fried dumplings with a short spatula in the other hand, and moved quickly to prevent the dumplings from sticking, which is definitely kung fu work. Soon a pot of fried dumplings was ripe with a bubbling aroma...

"Boss, do you want to spread two eggs?"

"Good!"

Say, the freshly beaten egg "poof" into the pot, the egg syrup spreads out, like a round sunflower pasted in the pan, golden seductive, slightly tilted, and then put the fried dumplings on the egg, with a spatula turned over, the whole cooked egg skin is covered on the fried dumplings, and then, shoveled into the dish.

Classic, this is definitely a classic in the taste of life.

"Perfect, how beautiful!" Mao Station also praised happily.

Maybe that's why gourmets often witness this classic action and induce appetite?

I asked for a bowl of chicken soup, two small dishes, a piece of garlic to accompany the meal, drank a mouthful of soup, bit a fried dumpling with a crispy skin, and suddenly, a happy feeling spread through the taste of the tip of the tongue like an electric shock, spreading throughout the body, delicious overflowing! ......

In fact, a snack is a food that people eat for breakfast.

Why do you remember it so firmly? Because it is an indispensable tradition in life, remembering the tradition, remembering the hometown that was born and grew up in Zizi, and cannot forget the past in memory, I think.
