Before the 1970s, the living conditions of every family were basically barely adequate food and clothing. If you want to eat pork stewed vermicelli, you can only wait until the Spring Festival. Therefore, pork stewed vermicelli became an indispensable food on the Chinese New Year table in that era.
My father is good at cooking, especially making stewed pork vermicelli. The braised pork vermicelli made by my father is full and bright in color, soft and delicious, and the pork is fat but not greasy. Although the conditions at home were very poor at that time, there was nothing decent for the New Year's Eve dinner, but my father always made this kind of pork stew vermicelli for us. A small pot of stewed pork vermicelli is placed in the middle of the table, which becomes the heavy dish of this table.
When I was nine, my father died of illness. This is a great blow to our difficult family. My mother cries every day. I was young and didn't know how to comfort my mother. I just stood silently beside my mother and accompanied her to tears.
During the Spring Festival that year, our family was still in pain. On the New Year's Eve, my mother did nothing but cook our favorite pork stewed vermicelli. When the food was served on the table, our four brothers and sisters and our mother didn't eat it. We silently looked at this pot of stewed pork vermicelli. My mother cried, my sister cried, and I cried. ...
This is the last time for our family to eat pork stewed vermicelli. Decades have passed, and pork stewed vermicelli has become the softest and most untouchable pain in everyone's heart. Every time I see it, I think of my father in heaven, the beauty of my family when my father was alive, the happiest New Year's Eve dinner, and eating my favorite pot of pork stewed vermicelli.
After eating for more than 40 years, the most unforgettable meal was really there. Hey! It should be said that it is unforgettable! I will never forget it in my life. Every time I chat with my family, I can laugh until my stomach hurts, and my meal will come out.
