Sad bean jelly is a special snack in Luodai Town, Longquanyi District, which is located in Guangdong Guild Hall and has a branch opposite. At the same time, there are happy ice powder, grandma's cold cakes, mom's cold noodles and other snacks.

It is said that it is named because "everyone who eats it will cry." The seasoning is bright in color, the bean jelly is refreshing and tender, and the millet pepper is full of vigor, which really makes people "a tear and a snot" and "the more they eat, the more sad they are". Be sure to have another bowl of "sweet" happy ice powder "dissolved". It is suggested to go to Guangdong Guild Hall and sit in the "antique" yard to watch the waiter bring bean jelly with a bamboo dustpan, which is very western Sichuan style.

■ There are two solutions to "sad bean jelly": one is the bean jelly made by people living in Luodai town when Guangdong Hakkas were filling Sichuan in Huguang, hence the name; Second, it means that bean jelly is bald and spicy, people who eat bean jelly will burst into tears, and some people think that they have encountered a sad thing. I don't know what the basis is, at least now Hakka people in Guangdong won't eat such thick bean jelly. Later, I liked it. It was fun.

I used to think that the cold noodles with bean jelly in Chengdu were rough and the taste was worse than that in Guiyang, but after eating "sad bean jelly", this view was completely changed. Bean jelly and cold noodles are nothing more than seasoning. "Sadness" uses fresh rice pepper, which is fragrant, spicy and a little sweet. The amount of a bowl is very small, only a few, which is similar to that of Thai rice noodles. If you are a diner, it is estimated that you can't eat ten bowls.

There are two kinds of bean jelly, one is cold and the other is hot. Peanut jelly tastes soft and I don't like it. Personally, I think both kinds of bean jelly are not as delicious as cold noodles.

"Sad bean jelly" is very interesting, but "Happy bean jelly" is a bit deliberate and melodramatic, although it is refreshing to eat "sad" first and then "happy".

It's really spicy, but my tears are not spicy. I'm sure I'll miss you to tears when I arrive in Beijing. So my interpretation of "sad bean jelly" is: bean jelly that is sad only if you can't eat it.
