speciality
Fried pile
Mix glutinous rice flour and indica rice flour, and add leek, chopped olives, peanuts, salt, etc. And put it in an iron pot and fry it repeatedly on both sides (the iron pot should of course be oiled) until it is cooked and slightly fragrant. It is not difficult to do this "day". Some people use flour (or add eggs) instead, sprinkle some peanuts and sugar on the surface, roll them up, cut them into sections and serve them (if you want to eat salty ones, add salt and chopped green onion in advance, etc.). )
Sugar ring
Sugar ring is an important variety of fried powder fruit in Chinese New Year. It is also an essential fruit powder for Chinese New Year. Because of its round shape, symbolizing reunion and family interlocking, it is deeply favored by the public (some people interpret it as putting it with sugarcane during the New Year, meaning "borrowing sugarcane to return it", so it can be said). There is also the mixing of glutinous rice flour and indica rice flour, adding sugar, wet kneading, cutting into small pieces, pressing into a special camphor wood mold for sugar rings (this mold is intaglio carved into a flower-like shape), then cutting off the excess flour dough along the surface of the mold with a thin knife, and then patting the back of the mold to take out the semi-finished product. Semi-dry, fry in oil pan until golden brown, and then take out. To celebrate, someone added "Flower Rice Red" (a folk food stain) to the powder, which became a brown sugar circle.
Daojiaozong
Zongzi is commonly known as steamed Zongzi (wrapped and steamed). Daojiao zongzi can be divided into salty zongzi (or steamed zongzi) and grey zongzi. The most famous is salty zongzi, which is called Daojiao steamed zongzi for short.
Steamed dumplings should be eaten while they are hot (so it's best to heat them before eating), untie the leaves of jiaozi and cut them with a knife (the authentic way to eat them is to twist them with the original straw rope, which is more natural).
Grey zongzi is the floorboard of alkaline zongzi (previously, alkali was extracted by rural indigenous methods, and the ash soaked in water with straw ash was separated into alkaline water, so it was called grey zongzi).
The practice is to use glutinous rice, without stuffing or flavor. Cut it when eating and season it with syrup (honey is better). Tangyuan soaked in alkaline water is refreshing and delicious, and has a unique flavor. Because the grey zongzi is white in Tai Su, most people will add the red water drained by hematoxylin, or directly insert a small piece of hematoxylin into the zongzi, which will turn into red-skinned grey zongzi or white-skinned red-hearted grey zongzi after cooking (hematoxylin is also written as wood, which is a tree that can drain red liquid, and its scientific name is to be determined).
There is also an ingenious kind of grey zongzi: it is quite creative to make a pure sweet grey zongzi with red bean paste, lotus seed paste and white sugar as stuffing.
Sauté ed clam meat with pickles
Wash and shred pickles, stir-fry pickles in oil for a while, add minced garlic and clam meat and stir-fry until juice is collected. The mussel meat is refreshing and sweet, and it has a unique taste with different kinds of pickles. (Note: "Pickled vegetables" is a general term here, but there are actually several subdivisions: one is pickled with mustard, which is mainly sour and wet, and is called salted sauerkraut. Slice the stem and cut the leaves into filaments for later use; One is pickled with mustard greens, rakes, etc. Sun-dried to semi-dry, salty and slightly sour.
Generally cut into small particles for use; One is to cut radish into small strips and pickle "preserved vegetables", basically dry them for later use, and cut fried clam meat into granules for later use; There is also a vegetable called kohlrabi, which is pickled and dried, and when fried with clams, it is also cut into granules or strips. )

Daojiao meatball is the protagonist of Daojiao porridge, and it is also an indispensable dish for people who come to Daojiao to eat (including locals who eat out)-steamed Daojiao meatball (or fish meatball, or steamed with a few pieces of shredded squid, which is more delicious).
Daojiao meatballs were born in the 1960s, and the inventor (or family heir) was called Ye Cheng. But because he can cook a good dish, he was transferred to the commune canteen as a chef. When he was a chef, the dishes were changed every day, and the taste was excellent. Visitors from the commune ate in the canteen, and everyone applauded.
The practice is to choose the best pork belly (fat and thin, with a little muscle) and beat it with two solid iron bars while it is fresh until it is completely mushy. Add some squid whiskers, chopped green onion, salt and monosodium glutamate. Hold the meat sauce with your hands, let it come out from the seam of your thumb and cook it in a steamer. A cage of delicious meatballs is born!

Rainbow bridge
According to legend, Hongqiao was also built with Wei Huan in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zhang Jiayu led Daojiao Yishi Ye and He Bufan to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing soldiers could not break into the mud city. Later, when the tide receded, they found a secret passage at Hongqiao Mouth, so they carefully arranged it and broke into Daojiao Mud City from Hongqiao Mouth when the water was dry, so that Daojiao fell into the hands of Qing soldiers. Therefore, it is well-founded that Hongqiao was built in Ming Dynasty.
But it collapsed as early as the Qing dynasty. 1982, Yongqing township government allocated funds and mobilized the masses and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao to donate money to rebuild the cement structure, and hired domestic calligrapher Mai to write the word "Hongqiao".
The main bridge is 40.7 meters long, the handrail is 92 centimeters high and the bridge is 3.6 meters wide. After 20 10 years, the bridge was also repaired at the town and village levels to protect the three tall ancient cotton trees beside the bridge, so that they can reflect the architecture of Wei Huan and reproduce the style of "Hongqiao watching the fishing fire, Wei Huan reflecting the morning dew".
