The mouse is awkward.

"The mouse is awkward" is the Qingming embarrassment. It is a wonderful snack made by Gutian people. Rodent, also known as Saxifraga paniculata, is a wild plant called Pulsatilla in traditional Chinese medicine. It grows in farmland and wasteland in winter, with small white flowers at the end of the core and white fibers in the buds and branches. After collecting from the field, pick the core leaves and boil them in a pot. After draining the astringent water, put them in a stone mortar and mash them. Then glutinous rice flour is mixed and kneaded to make lumps, which are used as husks. Then divide the lump into small pieces, knead them into round cakes, put them on banana leaves and steam them in a steamer or fry them in oil. Murine grass is named because it is selected as the main raw material. Murine grass has a faint sweet smell, has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling intestines and blood, and is a common medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. Gutian people have long understood the unique sweet flavor of the grass and its own medicinal effects, which are used as raw materials to make snacks.
