As soon as she entered the lunar month last year, Xu Haixia, the sister-in-law of pancake flowers in Mengyin County, politely refused all the orders for pancake flowers from years ago. "There are too many orders on hand, I can't do it, and I don't dare to take any more orders. Xu Haixia said.
Yimeng pancakes are made into flowers, ** more than ten times that of ordinary pancakes, but they are still popular in the market, what is the uniqueness of pancake flowers?
On February 8th, on the second floor of Xu Haixia's pancake shop, various forms of "flowers" were blooming wantonly on the branches. At the end of the year, Xu Haixia was busy making orders for pancake flowers, holding a slender stick in her left hand, folding the long pink pancakes up and down with her right hand, occasionally applying "glue" made of honey and glutinous rice flour, and after five or six rounds of folding, a lifelike "rose" jumped to her fingertips.
The yellow pancake flowers are yellow peach, pink is dragon fruit, purple is purple potato, and all the colors are derived from natural ingredients. Xu Haixia said, "Towels can be made into flowers, paper towels can also be made into flowers, but only flowers made of pancakes are beautiful and delicious." ”
The pancakes eaten daily have a new trick, attracting many customers to come to the first place. Pancake bouquets sell well during holidays, newlyweds make pancakes and hand-held bouquets, and college students specially buy them to recommend to friends from other places ......The requirements of customers to order pancake flowers are becoming more and more diverse, which has long exceeded Xu Haixia's initial imagination.
In addition to updating the style of pancake flowers, Xu Haixia is also thinking about innovative pancake products, and she arranges various pancake crumbs on cardboard to create vivid pancake paintings. "A few days ago, a customer in Zibo wanted to order a pancake painting of the zodiac dragon, wanted to show it to relatives and friends at the Spring Festival family dinner, and offered to drive over to pick up the goods by himself, but my order was full, and I had to give up. Xu Haixia said.
Driven by pancake flowers, Yimeng pancakes are known and loved by more people. In addition to pancake flowers, Xu Haixia has developed more than 50 varieties of pancakes, which are sold to more than 300 cities in more than 20 provinces and autonomous regions across the country, and also exported to South Korea, the United States, Singapore and other places. "The number of customers from other places is gradually increasing, and the sales of ordinary pancakes this year have increased by one million compared to last year. Xu Haixia said, "In the new year, I want to lead more people to make 'pancake flowers' and 'pancake paintings' together, so that everyone can get rich together!" ”
In recent years, Mengyin County has lengthened the pancake industry chain, driven by a person and a brand, a group of people and a region to work together to get rich, amplify the effect of "small pancake industry", make the pancake industry an industry that enriches the people, and make Shandong handicraft an important engine to promote the revitalization of Mengyin countryside. At present, the annual output of pancakes in Mengyin County is more than 5,000 tons, and the annual output value reaches 100 million yuan.
