What unforgettable new year's goods with local flavor do you have?

My hometown is located in the inland area west of Central China, which is mainly made of pasta, so the material is not particularly rich. People's new year's goods are mainly snacks made of pasta.

I remember when I was a child, every household would choose a day as "fried cake" after the twelfth lunar month. This day is the most solemn day before the year, not only fried rice cakes, but also fried oil cakes, fried dough twists, fried rice noodles and so on.

Later, with the changes of the times, materials became more and more abundant, and you can buy whatever you want at ordinary times. This beautiful tradition was gradually abandoned. However, I still remember my happiness during the Chinese New Year when I was a teenager. What I miss most are fried dough sticks, glutinous rice sticks, oil packets, sugar dates and the like.

As we all know, the big twist in Tianjin is particularly famous. My own twist is also delicious. They are real, sweet, crisp and crisp. It is said that fried dough twists are very particular about noodles. Some people don't know how to make noodles themselves, so they have to go to the village to find someone with good noodles to help.

One of my uncles is a good noodle maker. Anyone who wants to fry dough twists in the New Year is bound to ask him for help, and it is not easy to ask him. He must go home a few days in advance and say good to him, or he will be called away by others. He didn't eat at home almost every day that twelfth lunar month, and someone asked him for help.

Twist is made, and the leftover fried rice noodles, oil bags, sugar dates and so on can be used with this noodle, and the effect is very good.

I want to tell you about the oil bag here, which is a popular name here. I don't know what the official name is However, everyone should have seen this thing. In fact, it is a sugar jujube without sugar. Sugar jujube is just a knot in one's heart, and then wrapped in a layer of sugar. The oil bag just doesn't contain sugar, and the pimples are fried directly.

For glutinous rice flour, we usually use this kind of white flour at home. Although it is called glutinous rice flour, it is not made of glutinous rice flour, and it is still different from what we bought outside. The biggest difference between glutinous rice thread made of white flour and glutinous rice thread is that white flour is solid, unlike glutinous rice thread, which can expand. Therefore, sticky rice strips made of white flour are hard to bite and do not have that crispy feeling. The living conditions at that time were like that. We don't produce glutinous rice here, so we can only use white flour instead.

Although these things are too common now, they are really looking forward to it. After so many years, people's living conditions are getting better and better, and they don't lack anything to eat, but there is no feeling of expectation at the beginning of the new year. It's a pity to think about it, but I still miss the lively atmosphere of Chinese New Year when I was a child.
