It has been heard that the old Beijing ice candy gourd has a unique flavor, but the heart is not as good as action, in the holiday, because I have to go to Beijing to participate in the group dance competition, it is just the fulfillment of my culinary dreams.
Came to Beijing, in the process of walking, by chance, saw a named "hundred years old" of the sugar gourd store, saw my longing for the sugar gourd. As the saying goes, "a hundred heard as much as seen, a hundred seen as much as tasted" well, saw, will want to taste. So I begged my mom, begging her to buy me a bunch of ice candy gourds. Mom couldn't resist me, so she bought me a bunch.
I carefully scrutinized the string of sugar gourds, which is walnut bean paste, hawthorn top is cut a large area, like a round of curved moon, the moon contains a large piece of bean paste, bean paste on the set of half a walnut kernel, each hawthorn are wearing a piece of warm sugar coating, sugar coating on the adhesion of a layer of white veil, like a noble princess in general.
It was tempting just to look at it, and the flavor was even more so.
I first bit down on one of the candy canes, and then held it in my mouth to savor its unique flavor: sweet but not greasy, crunchy but not hard. When I finished the outer layer of sugar coating, I bit into the hawthorn and held it in my mouth to savor its tart and crunchy flesh.
At this time, I don't know where came an old song praising the sugar gourd:
It is said that the ice sugar gourd is sour, inside the sour it is wrapped in sweet,
It is said that the ice sugar gourd is sweet, but inside the sweet it is wrapped in sour,
The sugar gourd is good looking it is worn by the bamboo sticker, which symbolizes the happiness and the reunion,
The happiness and the reunion are connected into a string, there is no worry to have no annoyance! ......
Along with the song, my mouth with sweet sugar gourd, still immersed in the world of happiness and joy ............
