Post-60s "Shi Changmei: A crispy, New Year's wheel cake.
The sense of ritual of the New Year begins with the purchase of New Year's goods.
When it comes to the deliciousness of Suqian, many people think of wheel cakes full of childhood memories. Shaped like a wheel, the wheel cake is fried in a pan with a golden color, and tastes crispy and sweet, symbolizing festive reunion and is an indispensable delicacy for the Chinese New Year.
On January 28, at a wheel cake shop near Nancai Market in the city, many citizens were buying wheel cakes. "My child likes to eat, and she will come back from other places immediately, and I will prepare in advance for her to eat when she goes home, and when she returns, I will pack it for her and let her take it back to satisfy her hunger. Zhu Ping, a citizen, said that his daughter, who works outside the home, often thinks about Suqian's wheel cakes, and this delicacy will be on the table at home during the Chinese New Year every year.
Shi Changmei, the 61-year-old owner, has been inheriting this old craft for more than 30 years. Shi Changmei introduced that the wheel cake is based on lard, mixed with sugar, and then mixed with some walnut kernels, melon seed kernels, red and green silk, etc., and rock sugar is added to the pie filling, which is diverse in color and crisp and delicious.
The trick to making this dim sum is to make a cake dough, two dough one with water and oil and noodles, the other with pure oil and noodles, with these two kinds of dough wrapped out of the wheel cake, fried in the oil pan to crispy but not boardy, lip crushed ......Speaking of the making of wheel cakes, Shi Changmei gushed endlessly.
Shi Changmei told reporters that as a representative of Suqian cuisine, the sweetness of the wheel cake made many people worry. "I'm getting older, and I wanted to close this store for a while, so I stopped for a while, and soon there were old customers who came to the door and said that I missed this taste, and I was reluctant to lose this craft, so I have been doing it until now, and now my daughter-in-law is working with me. Shi Changmei said that the New Year is approaching, and the wheel cake with a strong New Year's flavor is reunion and happiness.
Post-80s "Bao Juan: A room is fragrant, full of the breath of spring.
In my memory, I like to go shopping with my mother to buy New Year's goods during the Spring Festival every year, although it is crowded, but it is very happy. Speaking of the memory of the New Year's goods, 37-year-old Bao Juan is full of smiles, the Spring Festival in childhood is the most joyful, at that time, no matter how greedy the child is, it will be tolerated.
In Bao Juan's impression, in the Spring Festival list, in addition to snacks, her favorite is flowers. "Every household will prepare some ** flowers during the Spring Festival, which are colorful and symbolize the coming spring. Bao Juan said that because the material life was not rich at that time, everyone could only buy some first-class flowers, unlike now, where there is everything in the greenhouse.
Because of love, so persistent. "My husband is in the flower industry, and at this time of year, the demand for Chinese New Year flowers is always in short supply. It turned out that Bao Juan ran a flower shop in downtown Suqian, and around the Spring Festival, the store would provide Phalaenopsis orchids, kumquats, rhododendrons and other New Year flowers, which were very popular.
Nowadays, the material life has been greatly improved, and many people will have flowers and plants in their New Year's list, which not only adds a touch of greenery to the home, but also adds a joy. Bao Juan said, just imagine, in the cold winter, looking at the "spring" in a room, will spring be far away?
Post-00s "Zhang Ningfeng: A sweet, New Year's snack.
The "post-00s" have always been considered to be at the forefront of the trend, so what is the difference in the New Year's goods they hoard?
In 2023, I will officially work and save a little money, although it is not much, but I can also use my own money to buy some New Year's goods for my family during the Chinese New Year. Mom and Dad love nuts, so I bought a snack pack of nuts, like their favorite pistachios, and I bought two big bags. Zhang Ningfeng, who lives in Xiangwang Community in the city, said that he also bought red date bread for his grandmother, and the family ate snacks while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and he felt warm and happy.
In mid-January, Zhang Ningfeng had already begun to select New Year's goods online. "My family attaches great importance to the Chinese New Year and always prepares their goods in advance. Every year on the 28th day of the lunar calendar, my mother and grandmother would steam some red bean steamed buns and cabbage steamed buns, as well as some fat chickens. Zhang Ningfeng said.
However, in Zhang Ningfeng's view, a family has a New Year's flavor when they are together. In June 2023, Zhang Ningfeng graduated from university, and in August, he successfully passed the written exam and interview and entered a law firm in Suqian. "My university was in a foreign country, and I felt that it was too far away from home, and I planned to return to Suqian after graduation. Suqian is getting better and better, and when I was recruiting, I submitted my resume to many companies in Suqian, and fortunately, I was lucky to stay in Suqian. Zhang Ningfeng said.
I usually like to shop online, and it's especially cost-effective to buy from online. In addition to the nut-based snack packs, I also stocked up on some drinks to entertain relatives and friends, which are much cheaper than offline. Zhang Ningfeng said that his "post-00" friends all buy New Year's goods online, most of which are snack gift packs. (Reporter Zhong Wenlu, Zhu Wanjing, trainee reporter Ni Jiale).
