The practice of glutinous rice Baba

Its practices and eating methods are very particular, with a strong folk style, and it is also a traditional food craft of local ethnic groups, and its spread has certain limitations. In the past, people except Taoyuan Bazi and Fiona Fang Shili could not cook or eat. Therefore, foreign tourists who are famous here must have a look and try glutinous rice Baba. Making glutinous rice Baba is simple and complicated, that is, those who can do it are easy, those who can't do it are helpless, sticky feet and hands, and the dough won't listen to you at all. Even if it is barely made, it is crooked, with different thicknesses and dripping sugar. Therefore, making glutinous rice Baba must be done in a traditional way, which will be handy and casual. The method is as follows: Baba out of the pot should be put into a small dustpan with fluffy padding in time, and pine leaves should be put together with it, so as to keep warm and prevent Baba from sticking to each other, and it tastes like a clear fragrance of pine leaves. The way to eat glutinous rice Baba is also very particular. If the method is wrong, people will laugh. If the method is proper, it will burn your hands after eating and won't leak the stuffing. First of all, the host toasted the guests with both hands together with pine leaves, and the guests also took them with both hands. Then the five fingers of the left hand spread slightly upward, and the palm was concave, and Baba put it on it to form a concave shape. Pick up the pine leaves in your right hand, then pinch the middle of the upper layer with your thumb and two fingers and give it to Baba. After eating the upper layer, make a little gesture and then pick it up from the edge of the lower layer. At this time, if the host hands in the second one, he can also eat it, so he can take it and put it under the first one according to the previous method, and then taste the second one after the first one has finished eating.

In 2006, during the Cherry Blossom Cultural Tourism Festival held by Ludian County Party Committee and County Government, guests and friends from all over the world were treated with glutinous rice Baba, which was highly praised. In Tuogu Village and Xiaozhai Township, Longtoushan Town, Taoyuan Township, through the vigorous publicity of the media, it has won a good reputation among tourists. With the progress of society and the continuous development of tourism, glutinous rice Baba, a folk snack, will become more famous. It will go out of Ludian and go to various places, becoming a way for some people to get rich, bringing good economic and social benefits to local development.
