Panning rice, grinding noodles, rubbing noodles, steaming on wooden sticks, and finally using thread to cut into four pieces, a cake is ready.
Approaching the Spring Festival, cakes are very good to sell. On February 3, in the courtyard of ZhuYushuangjia Cake Making in Datun Village, Leping Town, Pingba District, a burst of sticky incense came to the nose, and the family divided their work and cooperated, and they were very busy, and pieces of hot cakes were placed on the wooden table for sale.
In Pingba, it is a well-known custom to eat cakes and rice dumplings during the New Year.
"My family's cakes have always been made using traditional craftsmanship, using high-quality glutinous rice and japonica rice, selling for 4 yuan a catty, and making and selling more than 10,000 catties during the Spring Festival every year." Zhu Yushuang said.
It is understood that Zhu Yushuang's family used to engage in noodle and rice noodle processing, 6 years ago, he decided to use the traditional handmade way handed down by his ancestors to make cakes, which were scooped out in this way. In addition to the village market day, Zhu Yushuang pulled to the market to sell, mostly customers come to his home to buy, as far as Guiyang, Anshun, close to the surrounding villages.
"The cakes made with the old craftsmanship are better than the machine, and every year before the Spring Festival, I have to come to his house to buy the rice dumplings, eat them myself, and send them to relatives and friends." Weng Keqin, a villager in Tangyue Village, Leping Town, said. (Pingba District Rong Media Center reporter Luo Xiuhua)
