Tumo, which literally means "dirt fried bun" in English, is a local snack popular in Henan province. Villagers in Jiyuan, Henan, gathered together and dried the buns on Oct 25 in an ancient street at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, creating an amazing bun-making scene stretching hundreds of meters in length.
The small buns are roasted in fine-grain soil. When done, they're simply scooped up, given a few taps to dust off the soil and eaten warm. The snack has been sold across the country.

Dong Miaoqiang, who started the business one year ago, said working in the store is meaningful to the hearing-impaired staff, even though profits from succulent sales are decreasing.
"The store is set up so more people can come in and have the opportunity to get access to hearing impaired people," Dong said.
Dong also said she hopes to develop her store as a training ground where her employees can not only be gardeners, but also take on other work. This will give them more social contact, increased income, and improved living conditions.
