Historical legends of food culture

According to legend, the sweet-scented osmanthus in Gui Hu was picked by Yang Shengan from the Moon Palace. One night, Yang Shengan fell asleep in the study. Kuixing fell asleep and asked Yang Shengan if he wanted to go to the Moon Palace to win the laurels. Yang Shengan agreed. So Kuixing ordered the West Sea Dragon King to take Yang Shengan to the Moon Palace to win the laurel. When he arrived at the Moon Palace, Yang Shengan saw a palace and a very tall osmanthus tree. He climbed up with difficulty, took off cassia twig and went back to the study. Later, Yang Sheng went to Beijing and won the first prize.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a vendor named Liu Jixiang in Xindu. He got inspiration from Yang Shengan, the top scholar, who smelled osmanthus fragrance in his study. He collected fresh sweet-scented osmanthus, squeezed out bitter water, soaked stains with sugar, mixed it with steamed rice flour, glutinous rice flour, cooked oil and extracted sugar, and sold it in boxes, named Osmanthus Jelly. Once Osmanthus Jelly was sold, people rushed to buy it. Later, the local "Tianshun Rong" and "Wulingxuan" candy stores inherited the making of this cake, and constantly improved the quality, making Osmanthus Jelly a well-known specialty in Xianning.

Xindu county is known as the "fragrant city", and its name comes from the beautiful artificial lake in the city. According to the county records, during the period of Zhengde and Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen, a famous scholar and writer, planted osmanthus trees all over the lakeside where he lived, and wrote a famous piece "Gui Hu Qu", which was later called "Sheng 'an Guihu" by local people. In the early years of the Republic of China, it was renamed Guihu Park and upgraded to a cultural relic protection unit in Sichuan Province. There is also a rather awkward garden name: Gui Hu of Yangsheng 'an Temple.

Osmanthus Jelly made by traditional craft will never add any spices. Before the 1980s, every time osmanthus was in full bloom, the notice of "buying fresh osmanthus in large quantities" could always be seen on the streets of Xindu County. Cooked glutinous rice flour, fresh sweet-scented osmanthus and broken crystal sugar granules are the three basic elements of Osmanthus Jelly. They can be sold by pressing them into small rectangles with molds and putting them into cartons.

When I opened the box, I saw the pink Osmanthus Jelly lying neatly in two squares, and the sweet-scented osmanthus with the size of a small grain of rice was vaguely scattered among them, like the works of a master artist casually sprinkled on a white canvas, and the pigment was dark yellow. Picking up a piece and putting it in the mouth, the front teeth just tasted the soft waxy texture of glutinous rice flour, and the tip of the tongue immediately accepted My Sweetie's signal sensitively. The fragrance hidden in the depths of the cake powder is getting stronger and stronger at the moment, and the indescribable fragrance oscillates in the mouth, then rushes into the nasal cavity again along the "heaven" and then transmits the information to the brain center.
