The history of Erni vegetable pancakes

In the war-torn era, there was a girl named Erni in her early twenties in Linyi Village, Linyi District. Although she was born into a poor family, she inherited the strong and unyielding qualities of her ancestors.

Due to the shortage of materials and food during the war, a kind of food was made by using whole grains to make a batter and spreading it into pancakes, adding fresh wild vegetables picked from the mountain fields and slowly roasting them on an iron disc. It became a rare special delicacy in Lunan area at that time. It has a very appropriate name called vegetable pancake. Erni has been exposed to it since she was a child, and inherited the superb skill of making vegetable pancakes from her mother.

In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, a soldier was shot several times while performing a mission. He tried his best to escape from the Japanese army and fainted in front of the dilapidated wooden door of Erni's house. When Ni found the soldier, he was in urgent need of replenishing his physical strength and energy due to his serious injury. So Erni took out the eggs that she was usually reluctant to eat and put them in the vegetable pancakes. She carefully cut them into small pieces and fed them to the soldier bit by bit. The process of getting along with her. Zhong Erni learned that the soldier's name was Lin Cun, and gradually Erni and Lin Cun fell in love. Lin Cun often teases Erni that he must open a vegetable pancake shop after liberation, so that he can eat vegetable pancakes made by Erni every day.

The love between children during the war was short-lived. Three months later, Lin Cun had to go to the battlefield due to the tight war situation, while Erni followed her family from Linyi to Xuzhou. After that, more than 2,000 days passed. Day and night, there was no news from Lin Cun. By chance, Erni learned from a veteran who had retired from the battlefield that Lin Cun had already sacrificed his life for the country. The last remaining hope in her heart was shattered.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Erni, who had never been married, set up a vegetable pancake stall in Xuzhou, and changed Lin Village to a neighboring village, named "Neighbour Village Erni Vegetable Pancake" to commemorate that period. It only lasted three months but was an unforgettable love for a lifetime.

"Neighboring Village The name "Ernie Cai Pancake" spread like wildfire, and soon became a well-known local "famous brand", which can be said to be unintentional.
