一天深夜,月明星稀,我路过福建永定县,在汽车站坐三轮车去火车站乘凌晨到广州的早班车。街上已经没有什么行人,而路边的一家小食摊却热气腾腾,有人正在吃一种比水饺大,比包子小的小吃,十分诱人。“这是什么?”我好奇地向蹬三轮车的师傅随口问了一句。他很惊讶,似乎我问了一个连三岁的孩子也应该知道的问题:“芋子包,你不知道?”我说我今天第一次来永定,没听说过芋子包。想不到他索性跳下车:“来来,你应该吃一碗,好吃哪,出了永定就吃不到了,你慢慢吃,我等你。”这一吃,就叫我忘不了芋子包,以后每到永定,总要到大街小巷去寻找它。我对永定朋友说,如果评选永定小吃之最,非芋子包莫属,这个观点获得他们的赞同。理由有二:一是芋子包口感极好,永定客家人过九月重阳节必吃芋子包,男女老少人人喜爱,你看那南洋归客,下车伊始,急忙忙直奔芋子包小吃铺,就是一个明证。二是芋子包原料大众化,制作并不复杂,普通人家做得起,吃得起,永定人家主妇,谁人不是做芋子包的里手? One day late at night, the moon star is thin, I pass Yongding County, Fujian Province, tricycle ride in the bus station to the train station early morning to Guangzhou by bus. There are no pedestrians in the street, but a street food stall is steaming. Someone is eating a snack that is bigger than a dumpling and smaller than a bun. “What is this? ” I curiously asked the master pedaling a tricycle. He was very surprised, as if I had asked a question that even three-year-olds should know: “taro bag, do not you know?” I said I came to Yongding for the first time today and I did not hear it. Can not think of him simply jumped off the car: “come, you should eat a bowl, delicious, out of Yongding eat, you eat slowly, I wait for you.” Taro package, after each Yongding, always to the streets to find it. My friend Yong Yong said that if the selection of Yongding snacks, non-tarot package, this view was their approval. There are two reasons: First taro bag taste very good, Yongding Hakka September Chung Yeung Festival will eat taro bag, men and women loved by young people, you see that Nanyang to off, get off at the beginning, hurried straight to taro Package snack shop, is a proof. Second, taro packets of raw materials popular, production is not complicated, ordinary people can afford to afford, afford Yongding housewives, who is not to do taro bag in hand?
