Wipe one's back

The one hundred year old bathroom (100 meters to the east of Zhongqiao) is unique in Cao Dian. Cao Dian is very particular about wiping his back. At first, the master let the bather lie on the edge of the pool. Then he rubbed it from head to foot, from top to bottom, from left to right, from side to side. He was very careful. He would never let go of his ears and feet. It's heavy and powerful to wipe back, but the bather feels warm and peaceful, because the force comes from the inside instead of the surface, which makes the joints comfortable and the skin not hurt. Wipe clean, but also to help the bath guest pinch a few acid tendons, and then in the shoulder, back, waist, legs and other parts of the gently repeated beating. When a stranger comes to Caodian, no matter how urgent the task is, he should also take time to go to the bath to enjoy the fun of Caodian's back wiping.

Bean curd

The processing technology and finished product characteristics of Caodian tofu are similar to those of Pingqiao in Huai'an. The bean curd soup, which is mainly made of bean curd, is delicious and has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach. Tofu soup, together with yam soup and radish soup made from local yam and radish, is also known as "Caodian three soup". It is a rare delicacy at the banquet, which is often eaten by guests from afar.

Xiaofen dumpling
