When it comes to Qinhuangdao, everyone's first reaction may be Cao Cao's "East of Jieshi, to view the sea." Perhaps Bai Juyi's "Twilight can't stop coming and going, so he makes the East Sea become a mulberry field." However, the first reaction of the editor is a variety of delicacies in Qinhuangdao: mung bean cake, charcoal grilled oysters, powdered pigeons, sesame sauce baked cakes and so on... As a standard foodie, today Xiaobian will take everyone to understand the various cuisines of Qinhuangdao
Hui ji mung bean cake was born in 1945, as for the name of why it is called "hui ji", because the author is a Hui people, and coincidentally "hui", so this cuisine is called hui ji mung bean cake. Everyone's usual impression of mung bean cake is probably a variety of dried slag, and the impression is not very good. However, because it is an ancestral recipe, the mung bean cake produced is sweet but not greasy, not dry or hard, and melts in the mouth. It is precisely in this way that the mung bean cake is deeply loved by local residents and tourists in Qinhuangdao. Finally, the nutritional value and efficacy of the mung bean cake are also particularly high, with the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, dispelling heat and quenching thirst, reducing water and swelling, and retreating the eyes!
Speaking of Qinhuangdao, it is necessary to mention the seafood of Qinhuangdao! Because of its geographical advantages, Qinhuangdao's charcoal-grilled oysters highlight a "fresh" word! Why the word "fresh" is highlighted depends on the production process of charcoal-grilled oysters, first of all, the fresh oysters just fished out of the sea are pried open, and then the fresh oyster meat and fresh oyster shells are washed with water. The fresh oyster shells are then roasted over a charcoal fire, and then the fresh oyster meat is placed in the fresh oyster shells, and finally the fresh garlic juice and fresh sauce prepared in advance are poured on the oyster meat. Listening to the sound of the sea not far away, smelling the fresh aroma wafting out of the barbecue, how can you not reflect a "fresh" word! After roasting, you can taste it, and you will have both the umami taste of the sea and the aroma of barbecue! It is precisely because of this that charcoal-grilled oysters are so popular with the public.

So why do Qinhuangdao people call it "pink pigeon"? Legend has it that during the Cixi period, the imperial dining room made this "pink pigeon" one day (it was not called "pink pigeon" at that time), Cixi tasted it, and said a local dialect of "shelving this", "shelving this" is pronounced "pigeon", so there are people who want to please Empress Dowager Cixi, and call this dish "pigeon", which has been passed down to this day.

Because the food has two trademarks, one is "Yang Changzi" and the other is "Yang Intestine", although the two names are different, but the formula is the same, everyone can eat it with confidence when traveling to Qinhuangdao to buy.
