Li Bai's "An old friend stayed in the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March" and Yin Yun's "Rich, riding a crane down to Yangzhou" are all famous sentences that have been told through the ages. Yangzhou mentioned in the poem is my hometown. Speaking of Yangzhou, I have to mention the famous candy.
Cowhide candy is covered with a transparent coat, like a delicate little pillow. There is a black belt around her waist. Through the beautiful coat of cowhide candy, I saw that the rectangular candy was covered with white sesame seeds. Tearing open the wrapping paper, suddenly, a fragrance came to my nose, and I couldn't help smelling it greedily. The rich sesame fragrance mixed with the faint osmanthus fragrance is really refreshing. Biting his mouth, still full of saliva. Look at the candy, white sesame shows translucent sorghum molasses. It is more delicious to put the whole candy in your mouth. The sweetness of skin candy slipped into my heart along the tip of my tongue, and I tasted the sweetness while chewing sesame seeds. How can the taste be described as "delicious"? Yangzhou cowhide candy not only has sweet-scented osmanthus flavor, but also has strong black sesame flavor and jasmine flavor, and its flavor is unique.
Cowhide candy is known as "a must in Yangzhou". During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, due to frequent wars, the production technology of cowhide candy was lost. We sugar people in Yangzhou are determined to make it prosperous again. After thousands of attempts, the candy finally came out again. It is more delicious than the original candy, with low sweetness, bright color and moderate taste. Suitable for all ages, it is a good gift for relatives and friends.
Yangzhou cowhide candy is really "cowhide candy without bragging"!
