Chengdu is known as the "Capital of Tianfu", which is inseparable from the natural features, climatic conditions and cultural history in which it is located, but in my opinion, there is another very important factor is the food culture of Chengdu characteristics.
Not only is it the gathering place of Sichuan cuisine, but also the snacks in Chengdu are also famous. These snacks have a wide variety of all-encompassing, from cold mixing to pickling, from frying to steaming, which can be described as a variety of dazzling and different flavors, but they have won the hearts of Chengdu people who love food.
But want to eat authentic Chengdu food is not so easy to do, most of the people who travel to Chengdu, study is difficult to eat a particularly authentic Chengdu snack, they are attracted by the "famous shops" with the sign of "Chengdu snacks", but they do not know that the main owner is like a hermit hidden in the streets and alleys. These old shops may be very inconspicuous, and the name of the shop is also strange, most of which are signed by the name of the boss, such as "Zhang Lao Wu Liang Powder", "Li Ji Hoof Flower", "Uncle Wang Barbecue" and so on. Only long-lived Chengdu people know these good places to go, and they can distinguish which snack is the most delicious and which boss has good craftsmanship. Moreover, there are a very few snack bars in Chengdu that still use the style of the old state-run store, pay for tickets after entering the store, and then grab a position to wait for snacks to be served. This consumption method, which may seem inefficient today, has been retained by some old stores, and it has also retained the memory of that year.
If you want to talk about Chengdu's snacks in detail, it is really not something that can be won in a word or two, I am afraid that a food guide cannot be written. Since the editor is not a pure Chengdu person, he has no reason to consider the special snacks of Chengdu one by one, and can only record several snacks with Chengdu flavor that he has the privilege of eating, and hope to correct some defects.

Chengdu's egg baking cake, the most famous should be Uncle He's "He Ji egg baking cake". Although it is only a mobile stall, Uncle He has made a sign with his hand-made egg baking cake, and many Chengdu people eat Uncle He's egg baked cake to relieve their hunger when they are students. With the passage of time, these students have finished their studies and even become a family, Uncle He still adheres to the craftsmanship handed down by the older generation, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the wonderful taste of egg baked cake.
The three cannons are similar to the well-known "rice dumplings", and they are completely different from the traditional rice dumplings. The production of the three cannons is very interesting, first of all, you need to smash the kneaded three glutinous rice balls to the flat table with three pairs of copper plates, you will hear the sound of "duang ~ duang ~ duang ~", and then put the glutinous rice balls on a bamboo dustpan filled with soybean flour and roll it twice, and finally pour brown sugar and sprinkle sesame seeds. Some people think that the three cannons are too sweet and greasy, some people eat it directly, this elastic glutinous rice dumplings with mellow soybean flour, sweet brown sugar, I am afraid that all people who love sweets are difficult to refuse,
Dragon scribe, if you really want to call it chaos, it is understandable, after all, the dough wrapped meat stuffing is not chaos. But if you really talk about the taste, it is indeed much better than the ordinary chaotic taste, the reason is that the dough skin of the dragon copyist is egg and noodles, and with the Soup of Sichuan Flavor, it will naturally be distinguished from ordinary Chaos in taste.
