In recent years, the Youth League has become very popular, and the Internet celebrity-flavored salted egg and meat floss has exploded the circle of friends. Today I would also like to introduce to you a spring special cake from my hometown. It has a low exposure rate, but has great medicinal value, removing dampness, eliminating fatigue, and invigorating qi. In ancient times, every family would do it during the Spring Equinox. On the one hand, it was used to worship the gods and pray for a smooth spring ploughing. On the other hand, eating it could help people feel comfortable and cultivate diligently. This custom has continued to this day, and this snack cake is: paparazzi pills.

Paparazzi pills are also called cow shit pills and chicken shit rattan pills, mainly because of their dark color. The main material is black lotus vine, which is a common wild plant in our local area. At home, the leaves are usually dried and ground into powder.

Add glutinous rice flour, water, and some sugar to make Wulian Teng Wan. The shapes are balls, three-petal, paparazzi. The filling can be filled with peanut white sugar, coconut puree, sesame puree, etc., but it is usually peanut white sugar. It can be eaten after steaming. It is soft and glutinous, and has a faint grassy fragrance, which is similar to Qingtuan.

I hope this list can open your eyes, and I hope more and more local specialty cakes will come into your life 😊
