There are always people who say that the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker nowadays, but the New Year was always lively when I was a child, especially when children looked forward to the delicious food that they could only eat during the New Year. Now, when they recall it, they still seem to have a lingering fragrance on their lips and teeth. Time is gone forever. Do you still remember the taste of the New Year when you were a child?

1. Labeled beef and mutton

During the New Year, the air is filled with the unique aroma of beef and mutton. If you don't book the cured beef and mutton in the back shop in advance at this time, you will have to queue up in a long queue to buy it. Beef and mutton are connected by muscles. After a long period of stewing, the secret spices are firmly locked in the meat. The aroma of pepper and pepper hides the mutton smell. The meat is rotten but not scattered, and the strength does not stop the teeth. Whether it is sandwiched in steamed buns or cut a few slices to add wine, it is an excellent choice.

2. Pastry

As the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties with a long history, how can the rice table be without traditional cakes? Crystal cake, mung bean cake, soft crispy... These very ancient traditional Shaanxi pasta cakes have crispy and fragrant skins, solid fillings, and exquisite and small appearance. They are indispensable for guests during festivals and festivals. The old-fashioned cakes with rich ingredients are soft on the entrance, sweet but not greasy. Even the salty ones are unique. When paired with a cup of Fu tea, you can eat an entire box without knowing it. Although Fuping persimmon cake is not a cake, it still has a place on the Shaanxi New Year's goods list. The soft, glutinous and delicious flowing flesh is sweet but not astringent, and the natural icing on the outside does not have any chemical elements. It is a casual food suitable for all ages.

3. Steaming bowls

Steamed pork, which was only eaten during the Chinese New Year in most of the post-80s/90s childhood, has now become a daily delicacy, but it seems that the taste of steamed pork during the Chinese New Year is still different from that on ordinary days. The meat pieces wrapped in rice noodles melt immediately in the mouth. The rice noodles lock in the taste of gravy and spices. The heat on the steamer seems to symbolize the prosperity of the new year, and it is definitely a strong sign of the flavor of the prosperous new year.

4. Fried sesame leaves

The sesame leaves are also called "fruit". After frying, the pasta food is crispy and tastes crispy. It has salty and sweet tastes. When it is taken out of the pan, it is sprinkled with a layer of sesame seeds. It is a favorite New Year snack for children. As long as you see the fried sesame leaves, you will know that the Spring Festival is here.

5. Steaming steamed buns

In the Guanzhong area, steamed buns have been steamed since the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Various tools are used to make dough into different shapes. The cages are stacked one by one, which is very spectacular. Steamed flower buns have now been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, and fewer and fewer people know how to make them. However, now you can find all kinds of lifelike flower buns, noodles with fish and peaches in supermarkets... Different shapes. Although the production process is complex, as a traditional food, it still plays a decisive role in the hearts of people in Xi'an.
