What is proper fruit?

Proper fruit, also known as clever food or clever tongue, is a traditional pastry with Shandong characteristics and a festival food on Qixi. In the folk, it is usually described as "seven bends and eight bends". Appropriate fruits are mainly made of flour, yeast, sugar and milk. Common ones are triangle, diamond and fish.

There is a special custom in Zhengguo Festival, that is, people eat Zhengguo on this day. Appropriate fruit is a traditional food, usually made of glutinous rice flour and bean paste or other fillings. Appropriate fruits are usually round or oval in size, and some can even reach the size of a person's palm. Proper fruit surface will be coated with a layer of oil, making it look very smooth.

Just as the legend of fruit:

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a girl named Xiao Wei. She is very sympathetic to the sad love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, so every year on Qixi night, Xiao Wei will make a delicate snack and burn incense, hoping that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can meet in the sky. The local landlord was moved by his little sincerity and reported the matter to heaven. The Jade Emperor couldn't forgive the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid because of heaven, but he was very grateful for his thoughtfulness, so he let the old man match the bridge and contributed to a small and happy marriage.

From then on, Mix and Mr. Right lived together for a lifetime, and the husband and wife never gave up, and they were harmonious and beautiful, which everyone envied. Many girls also learn from Mix and make snacks of different shapes on Tanabata every year, hoping for a happy marriage and a happy life. This snack is also called "proper fruit" and has been passed down to this day.
