What are the inexpensive specialties worth taking home in Shanxi? Ask for recommendation.

When it comes to Shanxi, most people think of all kinds of pasta. Actually, it is not. Shanxi people not only love pasta, but also have other local specialties worth eating. Today, I will give you a special dish worth taking home when you travel to Shanxi in April.

First, Pingyao beef (a bag around 50 yuan)

Pingyao beef has been regarded as a fine tribute in the court since the late Qing Dynasty, especially won the favor of Empress Dowager Cixi, and this dish has been handed down to this day.

Pingyao beef is made by traditional technology, and every process is very particular, from beef selection to subsequent cutting, curing and cooking. Especially for the selection of beef, only the beef with bright red meat, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood and slight defects will be spared. It has the effect of nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen, and is favored by tourists. It is a waste to travel to Shanxi without eating Pingyao beef.

Second, yellow millet (4.8 Jin Yuan)

Qinzhou Xiaohuangmi is also a very famous local product in Shanxi and a very famous rice in China. On the whole, the color of rice grains is waxy yellow and crystal clear, and each yellow rice is very round and full, shaped like a pearl.

Xiaohuangmi nourishes the stomach. Everyone must know that the porridge cooked by Qinzhou Xiaohuangmi is very sweet and delicious, and there is no graininess. The surface of the porridge will be covered with a thin oil film. It is very suitable as a complementary food for babies and easy for the elderly to digest.

Three, Taikoo cake (25 yuan about a bag)

Taikoo cake is rich in Taigu County, Shanxi Province, which is a traditional famous product in Shanxi Province. Taikoo cake can be said to represent the exquisite craftsmanship of Shanxi pasta and has the reputation of "the king of cakes".

The whole cake body is made of honey, flour, eggs, sugar, salad oil and sesame seeds. It tastes crisp and delicious when it's just out of the pot, but it's crisp and not hard when it's cold, and even if it's put for a few months, the taste of Taikoo cake won't change at all.

Fourth, the bowl holder (a bowl of 3 yuan)

Bowls and plates, also known as bowls and balls, are traditional pasta snacks spread in Shanxi for thousands of years. The whole saucer is about the size of an adult's palm. Although it looks unremarkable, it is really delicious.

The production method is also very simple. Buckwheat noodles are mixed with water, then heated and stirred into paste, cooled and solidified. Pour some Chili oil, vinegar, minced garlic and so on when eating. Put it on it, then cut it into small pieces with a knife and you can eat it. It tastes very q-bomb, much like jelly, and adults and children love it ~
