[Network China Festival Lantern Festival] Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, Beijing tastes ＂time-honored＂
Guangming. com (Reporter Pandi) In the store, there is a race against time to adjust stuffing and shake Yuanxiao, and there are long queues waiting outside the store … As the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month approaches, many Beijing time-honored brands, such as Daoxiang Village, Huguo Temple snacks and Jinfang snacks, have opened the best-selling mode of shaking Yuanxiao on the spot, and the unique charm of Beijing-style catering culture has come to the fore.
There are many things to pay attention to if you want to make a qualified Lantern Festival. According to Qiu Yunhe, snack manager of Jinfang, the glutinous rice flour used for making Yuanxiao is crushed by a low-temperature stone mill, which can well preserve the fragrance of glutinous rice. The stuffing is manually screened to ensure that "there are nuts in every stuffing."
As the representative diet of the fifteenth day of the first month, the common glutinous rice balls in the south are wrapped, while the common Yuanxiao in the north is rolled out. If you want to make a Lantern Festival with uniform size and beautiful appearance, you need to "roll four waters". The so-called "rolling four waters" means that the prepared stuffing is soaked in water and then rolled in the ground glutinous rice flour. This process is repeated four times.
Qiu Yunhe told reporters that in order to meet the supply of Lantern Festival, the staff have to work from early morning to late at night these days, almost continuously. Every day, everyone breaks their fingers and looks forward to the festival. Because only when the festival comes, citizens can buy their favorite Yuanxiao and taste the taste of "reunion", and their hearts can really fall to the ground.
