The local people have had the traditional habit of planting peaches and rich cultivation experience since ancient times.

Fuzhou Fish ball

In ancient times, there was a fisherman by the Minjiang River. One day, a businessman took his boat to the south to do business. The boat left the mouth of the Minjiang River and entered the sea. It was hit by a typhoon. When the ship entered the harbor to take shelter from the wind, it was unfortunately damaged on the rocks. The repair of the ship was delayed and the food was bad. Every day, fish are used as food. The merchant sighed, "There are fish every day, and it's boring to eat. Can you change your taste? " "The ship's grain has been cut off, only a bag of potato powder," said the boatwoman. The ingenious boatwoman peeled and pricked a big eel that she had just caught, chopped the fish, coated it with potato powder, made meatballs, and tasted them after cooking. Later, the businessman returned to Fuzhou and opened a "Seven-Star Snack Bar" in the city. He hired a boat lady as a chef and exclusively operated "Fish Ball Soup". At first, business was not good. One day, a son who went to Beijing to take an exam passed by this store for dinner. The shopkeeper warmly entertained and held out fish balls. After eating the food, I found it delicious, so I wrote a poem:

Little stars are scattered all over the floor, and jade is sweet and fragrant.

Although southern Xinjiang has been drinking for thousands of years, it is rare for seven stars to taste poetry and spleen.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household in Quanzhou has meat dumplings to worship the ancestors of the gods.

Sanming de shaxian snack

The origin of Shaxian snacks should start from Xiamao Town. 1990 was influenced by the economic trend of "no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, catching a mouse is a good cat". During the period from 1990 to 1992, Xiamao people began to gamble in order to get rich overnight. In order to attract gambling money, they used all kinds of usury every day. In order to keep gambling going, there has been a civil mutual aid association (that is, the standard meeting, which still exists). Generally, the organizers invite some relatives and friends to attend and hold them regularly. Participants pay the "membership fee" each time, and the club money raised each time belongs to a member according to the agreed rules (that is, whoever has high interest will take it away). Once for everyone, once for a while. However, in order to maintain the operation of gambling, many gamblers hold more meetings and rob Peter to pay Paul. However, problems began to appear, some gamblers took all the money, and some gamblers lost all. Under such a chain reaction, tragedy happened. Many people left their hometown because of debt collection, some committed suicide, and some were laid off. People who fled to other places began to rush about for their livelihood, helping people carry sand, transporting people with tricycles and so on. When doing these jobs, some people find that eating is a problem, because they can't find a cheap and convenient place to eat, and they begin to miss the snacks in their hometown, which are fast and cheap. Many people are considering opening a shop to sell these snacks. I didn't expect it to be really hot, but these snacks were sought after by many diners, which made some people not only pay off their gambling debts, but also make a lot of money. They came back and told their relatives that they were married and took their children out to open snacks in Nanping and Fuzhou, which were the two most popular places for snacks at that time. At first, the snacks were only flat meat and noodles. At that time, flat meat was cement and noodles were steel bars. It is with these two things that they started a new life. Later, other snack varieties were slowly added. Snack culture gradually spread to the whole county (because at this time the whole county was affected by big gambling, many people were looking for a way out. However, because of snacks, some post-80 s and post-90 s people were affected, because there was a saying at that time: "If you can't read, you can open snacks." Some simply ask children not to study, and go directly to open snacks with their parents. There are also parents who open snacks and give their children to grandparents or grandparents to take care of. Some children go astray unconsciously, which can be regarded as one generation rich and one generation harmful. Seeing the rapid development of snack industry, Shaxian government registered the trademark of "Shaxian Snack" in June 1998 and began to promote snack culture. It can be said that I grew up eating imperial grain, so I didn't go to eat snacks. Now I'm a white-collar worker, and I don't have much money. Some students from primary school and junior high school also brought snacks back, so I can be called rich. I often think that if I started eating snacks after graduating from junior high school, I should be considered rich now! Of course, you can only think about it. After all, knowledge is very important. Snacks were really initiated by Xiamao people. As a native of Xiamao, I can prove this, and I hope that friends who eat Shaxian snacks can remember that the origin of Shaxian snacks is Xiamao Town.
