However, legends are legends, but from the article "Edible "Hui Mo"" written by a writer in Huangshan City, it is found that the history of Hui ink crisp is not long.

He wrote that in 1978, Mr. Cheng Jiru, the director of the Tunxi Limin Food Factory and the general manager of Xiaoxiao Suzhou Food Co., Ltd., was the first to mention Huimo when he heard that he was from Huizhou. From time to time, I heard the information of my counterparts in the food industry from other places about the development of black food, and the idea of Huimo crisp was formed in my mind.

After returning to the factory, it began to develop, after dozens of formula screening trial production and test marketing, it finally succeeded, and registered with the "kiwifruit" trademark, put into regular production, and there was a Hui ink crisp in the history of Chinese specialties.

According to Cheng Jiru's statement at the time, the reason why it was named "Huimo Crisp" was that it belonged to the halva type of fine pastry, which was comparable to the original traditional food of Huizhou; Second, its appearance resembles Hui Mo, which can be used to skillfully play the Hui Mo crisp brand by virtue of the fame of Hui Mo; Third, it has distinct regional characteristics, which can make people know its origin at a glance.

Huimo crisp is made of black sesame seeds, but it is very particular. For example, black sesame seeds are not purchased from the market at will, but are repeatedly tested by the laboratory to screen out a certain product as the main ingredient; The frying process is generally checked by senior masters, who can neither be raw nor old, but also have to be fragrant and crispy and oily; The recipes of cooked flour, powdered sugar, and sesame paste used in the dressing are even more important and belong to exclusive secrets.

With such a cultural connotation, Huimo Crisp can obviously rely on culture to eat, but it depends on taste. As a famous pastry, delicious is the most important thing.

The blue eucalyptus chews the ink crisp in its mouth carefully, and it has the rich smell of black sesame seeds and flower nectar. The Hui ink crisp handmade by traditional craftsmanship looks like the good ink of the academy, and tastes a mellow crisp, especially because the sesame seeds are shelled, so they are particularly "finely knotted", without particles, and melt in the mouth.

Sweet but not greasy, but it makes people feel that the sweetness is moderately sweet, and the crispy is fragrant, and it has the beauty of "adding a point to greasy and subtracting a point is boring".

The main ingredient of Huimo crisp is black sesame seeds. Black food makes people healthy for a lifetime, and has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening the brain and lungs, nourishing the blood and hair, strengthening the muscles and bones, and preventing aging.

In addition to the edible function of general black food, Huimo crisp also has special effects such as moistening the throat, nourishing the lungs, and black hair. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Taking black sesame seeds for 100 days can get rid of all chronic diseases." One year the body is shiny and not hungry, two years the gray hair returns to black, and three years the teeth fall out".

Lan Eucalyptus joked, "After eating, I won't be 'without ink on my chest'!" This can be said to be the 'most cultural' pastry, which means full of economy. ”

Shu Hanyan suddenly thought: "When I was a child, I had a nameless swelling and poison on my legs, and I couldn't get out of bed because of the pain, but fortunately, my family used 'ink therapy' in time to grind a piece of medicinal ink made in Guangxu Year at home and apply it to the affected area, and the pain subsided and the swelling dissipated after a few days." ”

Lan Eucalyptus was a little puzzled, "But I don't quite understand, why does ink add Chinese medicine?" ”

Shu Hanyan said, "This starts with the history of Mexico. As early as the Neolithic Age, humans began to use natural ink, which is the unprocessed black pigment found in nature.

"There is artificial ink in the back, such as a piece of artificial ink in the Qin Dynasty unearthed from the No. 4 tomb of Sleeping Tiger Land in Yunmeng, Hubei, which is pill-shaped; There are also ingots made of ink molding, such as Liujiaqu in Guyuan County, Ningxia, unearthed the Eastern Han Dynasty pine tower shaped ink, which is pine smoke ink; At present, dozens of pine smoke ink objects have been found in the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding.

"During the Song and Yuan dynasties, on the basis of their predecessors, ink workers added drugs to become medicinal ink. So that people not only used ink but also began to hide ink, so ink began to develop in the direction of handicrafts.

"Since the contemporary, Hui ink on the basis of inheriting the traditional craft innovation, development, recovery of tea ink, green ink, cinnabar ink, colorful ink and antique hand-rolled ink production, addition, development of new varieties, and the ink ingots into various art forms and apply colorful, embedded in the brocade box, for people to appreciate, this is a major feature of the modern ink industry."

Lan Eucalyptus couldn't help but sigh: "Non-human grinding ink, ink grinding people." The latest chapter of "Dream Claw Book House in the Great Era" is free to read for the first time.
