Introduction:

"It's said that the ice sugar gourd is sour. It's sweet in the sour. But it's sour in the sweet. The sugar gourd looks good. It's worn with bamboo sticks. It symbolizes happiness and reunion. It connects happiness and reunion. There's no worry or trouble! "--- do you remember this song? I remember hearing Feng Xiaoquan's iced sugar gourd all over the street when I was a child. Today, I am writing a blog while listening to this song. I have a strong sense of the picture. It seems that I think of the Hutong, the big locust tree, the childhood friends, and the snacks that I can only eat during the Spring Festival... The sugar gourd in my memory is only sold at the Spring Festival temple fair. It is a luxury on weekdays, according to the legend In the beginning, there were only two big and small fruits in each bunch. The big one was on the bottom and the small one was on the top. In the middle, it was put on with a bamboo stick like a gourd, so it was called Tanghulu. This statement is also found in the palace of the late Qing Dynasty, which is probably reliable. There are three kinds of sugar gourd in old Beijing. One is maltose (called Tangxi in Beijing dialect). It can make a big string of red sugar gourd in the mountains. Unlike the ordinary sugar gourd, which is one foot long and connected with bamboo sticks, it can be as long as more than five feet. It is connected with Vitex twigs and has colored flags on the head. This kind of big sugar gourd is sold most in the new year's factory. Another with sugar and sticky, cold after a white layer of frost, another flavor. Authentic is ice sugar gourd, a thin layer of sugar, transparent and bright, eating crispy non stick teeth. There are many kinds of materials available for making sugar gourd, such as Begonia, yam, yam bean, dried apricot, grape, orange, water chestnut, walnut, but shanlihong is authentic. In the past, the sugar gourd made by Xinyuanzhai didn't need bamboo sticks. Each shanlihong or Begonia was individually placed in a paper box padded with oil paper. "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" records the ice sugar gourd: "it's sweet, crisp and cool. If you eat it on a winter night, you can get rid of the gas of coal." Today, I'd like to introduce this new year's greasy old Beijing snack ice sugar gourd
