West Side Road
Shanxi noodles seem to have a kind of magic, which always haunts the wandering souls of Shanxi. That seemingly simple pasta contains the wisdom and emotions of many Shanxi people. In "See You Again in Pingyao", the 232 dart masters who went to Russia recalled their homesick souls with a bowl of hometown noodles.
The ancient city wall covered with years of moss records the stories and legends of many Shanxi people and faces. Zhao Mengtian, a famous pasta research expert in Shanxi, has excavated more than 1,800 kinds of Shanxi pasta methods after years of collation. In order to better protect the folk heritage of the people of Shanxi, we have specially produced a hundred episodes of radio audiobook "Shanxi MianDao", hoping that more people can understand Shanxi noodles and understand the land we love. We would also like to dedicate this drama to those who spare no effort to publicize and promote Shanxi culture, and to pay our highest respect to them.
Episode 72 of Shanxi Noodle Road - Rammed MoonCake: The Most Simple Jin-style Mooncake
Speaker: High source
Rammed mooncake is the most widely spread Jin-style mooncake in Shanxi, which can be baked or baked and more homemade. The surface of the rammed moon cake is rough and the skin is firm, giving people the impression of sincerity, and it is the most simple kind of Jin-style moon cake, so the people call it a stupid moon cake.
Stupid mooncakes are relative to thin mooncakes. Shanxi people define the mooncakes produced in the south as fine mooncakes, and the southerners make mooncakes to pursue the cooking principles of not getting tired of eating and not getting tired of fine, such as Su-style mooncakes. Shanxi people only pay attention to the reality of making mooncakes, and they are willing to put sugar and oil as the key, and do not pay much attention to the appearance and shape.
Especially in the 1960s and 1970s, grain and oil were tight, and the rammed mooncakes made during the Mid-Autumn Festival were only "suitable for the scene", and the rammed mooncakes that were reluctant to put oil and sugar were indeed too hard to bite. Therefore, the southerners made up a funny story for the rammed mooncake, which was widely circulated in society.
