spiced beans

Spiced bean Spiced bean is also called "Zhuangyuan bean", because in Ming and Qing Dynasties, candidates in Jiangnan Gongyuan liked to carry spiced beans to catch the exam, so it was named. This bean was made of broad beans. So far, there is still a children's song in Nanjing: "Spiced bean is really fragrant, and the head of the city eats the head of the city ... At present, it is Kuiguang Pavilion of Confucius Temple that keeps the authentic taste of spiced beans in Nanjing. When it comes to the spiced beans in Kuiguangge, it is inseparable from another signature snack of the store, spiced eggs, which are found all over the country, but the real features and tastes are still Kuiguangge. The spiced beans and eggs in Kuiguangge have the reputation of "peerless double jiao" in snacks.
