What was the most memorable food at the school gate when I was a child?

When I was a child, the most unforgettable food at the school gate was bean cake, fire blower and shrimp cake. They are all literal translations of dialects. Maybe everyone can't understand them, but it is my hometown that can understand them.

Didou cake

The online shop calls this peanut cake. In our dialect, peanuts are called "sweet beans", because flowers grow in the ground, so the name is more intuitive.

My primary school is an affiliated primary school of junior high school, with many students. This snack bar next to the school gate is always bought and eaten by many students, especially after school. I feel that I can't sell it. This bean cake is about the size of your palm. At that time, they were all fried, 1 cent. Because my family is poor, it is good to eat once a week, and I am very happy to be treated by my classmates occasionally.

Flame blowpipe

I don't remember how this dish was cooked. I have the impression that there are rumbling machines doing it, with red, white and green colors. I also like to eat all kinds of food. This delicious food tastes crisp, fragrant and sweet, and is suitable for hot eating. Simply put, it is crunchy, and you kneel at the entrance. You grab it with your hands every time you eat it, for fear that it will be broken and wasted.

Fire Blower is also a local name in our country, because it is small and suitable for our country, and it is made of fire with a hollow center, so we like it very much. These snack vendors at the school gate will never be out of stock. The price seems to be 1 cent each. You can get one or two more if you buy too much.

This is a practice found on the internet, and it feels more cordial.

I now suspect that this kind of food in front of my house was imported from coastal areas when I was a child. When I was a child, the shrimp cake I ate at the school gate had no shrimp, but the name was the same. When I was a child, the main ingredients were sweet potatoes, flour, shallots, taro, garlic and so on. , also fried. It's fragrant, crisp and delicious. I still sell this kind of shrimp cake in my hometown. Now it only appears when it is cold in the New Year and winter, but it doesn't appear at ordinary times. In primary school, school gates often appeared, except in winter and summer vacations.

In fact, this should be my favorite food at the school gate. I will buy it now if I have time. Now shrimp is also eaten in other places, especially in the coastal city of Beihai. If you don't put shrimp, it's not called shrimp cake. When I was a child, I ate 1 minute, now I want 1 yuan, and the older one wants 1.5 yuan. After more than 20 years, the price has increased by 10 times. Fortunately, I can afford it. ?

The above three kinds of food are my childhood memories, and they are all delicious snacks. I will buy it whenever I have the chance, because I eat not only food, but also that sweet memory.
