Sugar-roasted Chestnuts

In the golden autumn season, the thing I am most concerned about is the chestnut, the sweetness of the chestnut, the nutrition of the chestnut is unforgettable. In Liang Shiqiu’s pen: “In Peiping, after the autumn festival every year, almost every dried fruit shop on the street stands up a large iron pan, lifts a short chimney, and a small liba waves a large shovel, stir-fry chestnuts.Instead of frying directly, it is frying with sand, and adding sugar makes the sand into large and small grains, so it is called sugar fried chestnuts.The black smoke of bituminous coal spreads, the sound of stir frying, and sometimes the explosion of the millet: the sound, weaving into a lively scenery of late autumn and early winter. Children love chestnuts, buy a pack of several copper plates, wrap it with straw paper, and tie it with hemp stems, hot, sometimes it is simply hot, take it home and go to eat it for a while, hide it in the nest to keep warm .”This chestnut has exceptional vitality under the writer’s pen.”Today, chestnut specialty stores use machines to fry chestnuts. The home-made “sugar fry chestnuts” on the street can use microwave ovens, electric baking pans, pressure cookers, ovens and so on. The creativity of eating goods is unlimited.
