I can't remember what I ate at that time, but I was deeply impressed by the way of rice. In Sichuan, it is called "rice with beans, potatoes and peas". Take the rice with beans as an example. The way to do it is to soak the rice with water for half a day in advance, pour oil into the wood pot, stir-fry the ginger and garlic slices after the oil is hot, pour in the beans and stir-fry, then pour some water into the pot. The water should not be too much, which is almost the same as the beans. Then spread the soaked rice on the beans and cover the lid to slowly suffocate. When the firewood is almost burned out and the rice is almost cooked, when the lid is opened, the smell is fragrant, with the fragrance of rice, oil and beans, and some beans at the bottom will be burnt, so there is a unique burnt smell. Sprinkle with salt, stir-fry evenly, and hand out bowls of salt to everyone ...
Many years later, the countryside in memory has disappeared, but the taste in memory is often noticed. I have tried to cook my own rice, and I have done it many times, but it is not the taste I remember. It is said that the natural gas in the city is not as fragrant as the firewood in the countryside, and it must be the "human fireworks" that is missing!
Growing up in the countryside, naturally there are many delicious foods in Shan Ye that you can't forget. Let's talk about them one by one!
1, Fried cicadas
We are familiar with cicadas. We call it "What time is it", especially in summer, when people can't take a nap. But I don't know who found that cicada larvae can be eaten. Everyone runs into the Woods at night, and sometimes there are so many people who want to watch a tree alone.
Caught cicadas, soaked in salt water, washed and fried, is really a delicious food on earth.
But now in my rural area, I seldom hear cicadas screaming in summer, and I feel that I am almost caught. There are many hotels for sale now, but the prices are not cheap.
2. Sophora japonica
Sophora japonica is something in every rural area. In spring, it is full of white flowers, but it is not only beautiful, but also delicious. If you eat it directly, it will be sweet, but if you eat too much, you will get angry and have a nosebleed. There is also picking it home, washing it, and making it into jiaozi filled with Sophora japonica, or pie, not to mention how delicious it is.
3. Baked sweet potato
Baked sweet potatoes in rural areas are different from those in cities. I don't know if everyone who grew up in the countryside ever stole sweet potatoes from other people's fields when they were young. At that time, I liked to steal sweet potatoes from other people's fields, and then I found a clearing, and four or five small partners started to make a fire. When the fire was very strong, I threw the sweet potatoes into it, and when the charcoal fire was not very red, I could eat them. This kind of sweet potato was the sweetest when I ate it, and everyone ate it with a black face. The result is also indispensable to be stolen from others.
In fact, there are still many, so I won't list them one by one. It was really good at that time.
It's really bad to eat now. Now I basically go to school outside, and then I start to go to work directly. I'm busy every day, and sometimes I really seldom go home, so I really seldom eat the smell in my memory now. If I eat it, it's really a happy day.
Therefore, sometimes no matter how busy you are, you still have to take time to go home and have a drink with your father and taste your mother's skills!
The most unforgettable food in the countryside.
I was born in the countryside of Jiangnan in the 1980s. I still remember it clearly. The sky was blue and the water was crystal clear. River water and well water can be directly drunk, all fruits and vegetables are green and organic, poultry are stocked, and the air is not polluted. It is very hot in summer and cold in winter, which is common.
At that time, the most unforgettable food for me was that every summer, I used sewing needles to make fish hooks to hang earthworms, used nylon ropes to pull rice straight, and went fishing in the crevices of rocks by the river-crazy tiger fish (I really don't know what its real scientific name is, so it is called in our countryside). )
This kind of fish is easy to catch, and you can catch a plate in a short time. The stupid tiger fish in my memory. Never grow up, the biggest one is only as long as the palm of your hand, and about two is a giant. This fish is tender and juicy. The fish has few thorns, delicious taste and high nutritional value.
Specially prepared for steaming and braising. The smell of steaming eggs together is really unforgettable.
Now such fish are basically extinct in our place. Now what is sold in the market is artificial breeding, which has extremely high requirements for water quality and is very difficult to raise. Now we sell 90 kilos here, and it's still rare.
There are many kinds of unforgettable foods in rural areas, especially when I was a child. There are wild fruits in the mountains, wild vegetables in the fields, home-cooked meals and various special snacks, such as lard bibimbap, crispy rice, rock sugar, baked sweet potatoes, tofu balls, jujube cakes, popsicles, etc., which are unforgettable childhood foods.
Lard bibimbap was often eaten by farmers when they were young. At that time, there was nothing to eat. Put a bowl of rice with lard and soy sauce and mix it together. It is delicious. I don't know if you have eaten it like this, but now you sometimes eat it with lard bibimbap. It just doesn't taste like it when you were young, and you still miss the lard bibimbap you ate when you were young.
This rice crust is not a rice-sticky one, but a rice crust when it is ground into pulp and stirred in a large pot. It is wrapped with dried bamboo shoots, spoiled vegetables, mushrooms, shredded pork, etc., which is very delicious. At that time, this kind of rice crust was usually cooked during festivals.
Sweet potatoes are very common in rural areas. Basically, every family will plant some. At that time, there were no snacks to eat. After the sweet potatoes were harvested, they would take a few sweet potatoes and bake them in the earthen stove when cooking. The baked sweet potatoes are so fragrant that I still want to eat them now.
In the countryside, all kinds of food I ate as a child are delicious now. Some foods I ate as a child are gone now, some foods are still there, and sometimes I cook them. What unforgettable foods have you eaten in the countryside?
What's the most memorable food in the countryside? It's really a reminder.
Think about it carefully, there are Sophora japonica cakes and fried cicadas. Let's talk about them in detail.
The first is Sophora japonica cake.
When I was a child, there was a big locust tree in front of my house. I usually played under it all day, especially when spring came. The acacia flowers covered the tree were particularly beautiful.
At that time, I took a long pole and tied an iron hook to the head to pick Sophora japonica. The picked Sophora japonica has a fresh fragrance and smells good.
Then ask my mother to make me a cake of Sophora japonica, that is, add egg flour to Sophora japonica, mix it up and fry it in a pan. After a while, the fragrance will come out, and I can eat many cakes at a time.
The second is fried cicada.
When I was a child, there were many trees in the village. When it rained in summer, there were many small eyes under the trees, which contained cicadas who had slept underground for a long time and were ready to break through the ground.
I took a small shovel to dig cicadas, and sometimes I could dig dozens or even hundreds in one night. After digging a small bucket, I took it home and washed it with clear water. Add salt and put it in the refrigerator to freeze it. Our family often freezes for more than half a year. When it comes to Chinese New Year, it is thawed and fried. I know that the meat is very chewy and delicious, and it is also a special dish during Chinese New Year.
After these two dishes, I feel that my mouth is watering. In the final analysis, nostalgia for food is actually nostalgia for the carefree time in childhood.
Children's Day is coming soon. Wish us grown-up children a happy holiday in advance.
It turns out that every household basically has a elm tree. In the 58 years when the flowers are green and yellow, elm is the life-saving food for the poor. Although we didn't feel deeply after the 1980s, we were deeply impressed by the food when we were young. When we were young, we steamed a pot of elm at home to make elm buns, or ate them with garlic juice. Now we all think about it very much. Now we haven't eaten it for more than ten years. Whenever we saw it from our hometown WeChat friends circle,
Sophora japonica has a faint and elegant fragrance, which can not only be viewed, but also eaten. When I was a child, I liked to tie a sickle with a bamboo pole with my friends, hook Sophora japonica and eat it. It is sweet when eaten raw, and it is as delicious as steamed rice with elm money. Sophora japonica is a string of glittering and translucent flowers, which looks beautiful. There seems to be a lot of practice now, but it's a pity that we can't go home or eat Sophora japonica before the season.
Golden cicada, whose hometown is called "Turtle Dura" and "Climbing Fork", has the reputation of Tang Dynasty's aversion to meat, and its nutritional value is high. The skin is still a Chinese herbal medicine. When I was a child, I used to touch the climbing fork in summer, and then I bought it. That's pocket money and I'll get it from selling the climbing fork. Now it's getting more and more expensive, and it costs 1 yuan. There are also many people who are cultured artificially. They want to eat it in restaurants and can buy it online. Every time they go home, the specialty is golden cicada, but many foreigners dare not eat it.
Ma pao gua, Mao Zhen grass, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn, roasted wheat, roasted edamame, roasted grasshopper ... What other wild fruits and weeds have been forgotten, all of which are the sources of childhood happiness, and they are deeply buried in the memory, which can't be waved away and can't be found.
Originally, I was born in a Chaoshan rural family. When it comes to food, there are too many.
Everyone knows that Chaoshan area is full of delicious food, such as braised goose, roasted oyster, glutinous rice with pork intestines, salted fruit, spring rolls, beef ball kway teow, mung bean cakes, crystal dumplings, gorgon nuts and so on.
