5. Dregs

Dregs are divided into sweet soup and salty soup. Usually every household must eat this soup on the fourteenth day of the year. The salty soup is mainly made from more than 10 kinds of vegetables, meat, and seafood, cut into granular shapes, stir-fried until semi-cooked, and then added with rice flour slurry or starch slurry. This delicacy originated from the food that the common people used to thank the soldiers when Qi Jiguang fought against the invaders. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the small town was still just a fishing village and was often robbed and harassed by pirates. At that time, there was a general named Yuchi Gong who mobilized soldiers to build a city to resist theft. On the day when the construction started, it happened to be the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. As usual, the people held a Lantern Festival, and the pirates took the opportunity to enter. When Yuchi heard the report, he sent troops to resist and stepped up the construction of the city. At night, with the wind and snow blowing, the people gathered together to discuss: What snacks should be burned to reward the soldiers who built the city? Some suggested sending food and wine to keep the soldiers warm from the cold. But the general strictly ordered the soldiers not to drink alcohol. An old man came up with a two-pronged plan: use the new wine with lees as water, mix it with shredded pork, shredded winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, oil pickles, Sichuan bean drum and other meat and vegetables, and mix it with noodles to make a delicious "lees soup". And can keep out the cold. Everyone then burned the "dregs" and sent them away. The soldiers were very energetic after eating the "dregs" and soon built the city wall. From then on, the custom of eating "dregs" during the Lantern Festival in the small town has been followed from generation to generation.

6. Egg-filled wheat cakes

Egg-filled wheat cakes are made by pouring evenly beaten eggs into ordinary pork wheat cakes that are about to be cooked. Brand together until cooked. Although simple, pork and wheat cakes are also a famous Linhai food. Adding eggs only adds another variety to the wheat cake. Originally, the pork and wheat cakes are already extremely fragrant. Adding eggs not only increases nutrition, but also makes them more delicious. Linhai people really know how to "eat". For bamboo shoot cakes, mix wheat flour and water into a paste, use a small spoonful of the batter to pour into an iron hoop (or "mold") the size of a wine cup, put it into an oil pan and fry until slightly brown, then add the bamboo shoots. The filling (mainly bamboo shoots, mixed with radish and minced meat), and then a little batter. Because the temperature of the oil pan is extremely high, the batter on the surface is fried immediately. At this time, pour out the formed bamboo shoot cakes, "return" them in the oil pan, lift them up immediately, and put them on a wire rack to cool down while waiting for the children to buy them. At this time, the bamboo shoot cake is bright yellow in color, thin and crispy in skin, fresh and sweet filling, and fragrant with oil. In the early days of liberation, children were the happiest when selling one for a penny. Nowadays, it is rare on the streets. If you see it occasionally, the filling is no longer bamboo shoots, but radish (cut into small cubes) or taro. The price has been sold for five cents a piece.

7. Sheep's hooves

Sheep's hooves, horse's foot cakes, and moss cakes are all local pastries from Linhai, and they all have a history of more than a hundred years. Sheep's hooves are made from fermented sweet flour and shaped into a round hooves with a flat bottom and four petals on top. The top is sprinkled with sesame seeds and then dried and baked. Sweet and crunchy, economical and economical. In the early days of liberation, I bought ten of them for a penny each. It was only a dime, but I got a big bag back. It can not only satisfy the craving, but also can be given away when visiting relatives or patients. Nowadays, it has disappeared from the market, probably because today's economic efficiency is more important, because the profit is too thin. The shape of horseshoe cake is very different from that of "horseshoe", so I don't know why it is called "horseshoe cake". It is a piece of cake as big as a moon cake, but there is a protruding diagonal wavy pattern on the cake. It is made of pastry and tastes crispy and sweet. Even if it gets wet, it still has a unique flavor and melts in your mouth. Making water chestnut cakes requires a special oven for baking and traditional craftsmanship. The most famous one in Lincheng is Zhang’s Horseshoe Cake Shop at the intersection of Ziyang Street and Deqing Lane. Nowadays, it is not common on the market. Moss cakes are also made from sweet flour and pastry, wrapped in seaweed powder, flattened and baked. There are small holes poked into the surface of the cake, probably for the sake of appearance.

8. Linhai Wonton

Linhai Wonton At night, if you stroll along the small streets paved with bluestones, you will hear the unhurried, monotonous and boring sound of banging bangs. , "Du-Du!", please don't misunderstand that this is the watchman banging the bang, but it is the wonton burden that existed in Lincheng before the liberation. In the past, regardless of the elderly or children, when they heard the sound of "Duk──Duk", they would know that the old man selling wontons was staggering over with a heavy load. "Buy wontons." The load stopped and the child handed over seven cents. The seller neatly put a small amount of boiled water in a bowl, put the cooked wontons into the bowl, and then added pork shreds, chicken soup and winter bamboo shoots. Add shredded leeks and cover it, which is called "topping". This is Linhai’s flavored wontons.

10. Bean noodle crumbs

Bean noodle crumbs If you wander around the Baita Bridge on Ziyang Street, you will also see a lot of people at the street stalls. On the side, each person had a small stool, sitting in a mess, enjoying the deliciousness of the bean noodles and dough knots. Soak the bean noodles in water until they swell until they turn white, then put them in a pot and cook them. At the same time, add pork balls (rounds) and small oil soaks. Sometimes they are boiled in broth or chicken soup. They have a special taste. good. A kind of meat that has been prepared is wrapped in thousand layers and then tied with rice dumpling leaves.
