The locals call it “Chong”. Why does it have such a strange name? Because the flavor of the mustard makes you “heartbroken” and then you can’t help crying. It looks very simple. The sell just season shredded kelp, turnip and asparagus lettuce, bean-sprout etc with mustard, red chili and broad bean paste. Then she puts them on a pastry crust and makes into a roll. If you can stand the mustard flavor, you can just grasp one, put it into your mouth and enjoy your tears. If you can’t, ask the seller to put them in a bowl which contains vinegar. The vinegar can neutralize the mustard flavor a little bit. There is an old woman called Tang who has been making Chong for 42 years. The Chong made by her tastes the best and many people from other cities come to Suining to taste it. Once she earned more than 100 yuan per day. Very surprising! You should know that she just sold one at the price of 0.2 yuan. Then you can imagine how many she sold on that day. Unfortunately, she has stopped making Chong since last year due to her poor health. She is already 72 years old. There are some people who sell Shang Xin Jie Mo Chun Juan. You can buy some to experience the feeling of “heartbroken”. Heart Broken Mustard Spring Roll and Heart broken cold cold noodles (凉皮). Which one do you like?
