Another Tomb-Sweeping Day. I don't know whether we all eat like this or just my family. I remember when I was in my hometown, every day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, my mother would get up early and light candles for all kinds of gods at home (there are many Buddhists there). Then go to the dirt road outside and burn some paper money for the dead relatives at home. Probably this is one of the few times in a year when my mother can pay homage to her late grandparents. Grandparents have many children. Like most people of that generation, they were short of food and clothing and suffered a lot. They died at a young age. For this, my mother has always felt very sorry. After the memorial service, my mother will pull out many flowering shepherd's purse in the apple tree field next to her, wash it, and then put the leaves with roots in the pot. My father will light a fire and cook a large pot of shepherd's purse eggs. White and tender eggs, with a wisp of fresh grass fragrance, make my mouth water. Mom said that when I was a child, my grandmother often made them, but the materials were too scarce. If the whole family can cook an egg, it will be the best meal of the year.

Now in Shanghai, it is difficult to buy big shepherd's purse with flowers, and eggs are not native eggs raised by chickens in my mother's backyard. I think of them occasionally, full of nostalgia.

Our hometown is in the countryside. Every time we go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, there will be a kind of grass with yellow flowers on the wild wasteland, beside the reservoir, on the ridge of the field and beside the ditch. Its name is mouse grass. At this time, adults and children in their hometown are crossing baskets to pick in the fields. After returning home, they boiled the fresh branches and leaves of the rat grass into juice and made it into a rat nest to sacrifice to their ancestors.

Rat koji is not only a special food, but also my favorite medicinal effect.

Say it's delicious, let's see how it's cooked first. I learned this craft from my mother-in-law.

First, clean the fresh branches and leaves of Paederia Paederia, put them in a pot to boil, take them out, rinse them with cold water, chop them up with a knife, put them in a blender and stir them into mud, pour them into the pot, add a little water to boil them, and add glutinous rice flour to knead them into dough.

Then prepare the stuffing. I prefer to use bean paste for the sweet and peanuts for the salty.

Next, take a small piece of dough, knead it into a bowl, add the stuffing, tighten the mouth, and press it with a mold, and it will be ready. Put the mousetrap on the prepared banana leaves, put it in a steamer and steam it for ten minutes before eating.

Bite into the steaming mousetrap, and the soft and waxy sweetness and the unique grass fragrance of the mousetrap instantly wrap around your lips and teeth, making you particularly satisfied and happy.

If we want to talk about its medicinal efficacy, we have to start with unintentionally curing my stomach and intestines.

I used to have poor gastrointestinal function, disharmony between spleen and stomach, and irregular stool. I have eaten a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, but the effect is not good. It was not until I accidentally ate the rat trap for more than ten days that my stool was normal. This inadvertently ate health, which surprised me. Check the information and popularize science right away. "Rat grass is flat, slightly sweet, and enters the lungs. It has the effects of relieving cough and asthma, lowering blood pressure, expelling wind and removing dampness. Can be used for treating common cold and cough, bronchitis, asthma, hypertension, bean diseases, rheumatism, lumbago and leg pain, etc. External use to treat falls and injuries, snake bites. " Sage has so many functions. Therefore, I specially learned the craft of making rat songs from my mother-in-law.

Now you can also buy the powder of rat grass online, which is very convenient to make. Throughout the year, there are often mouse songs on our dining table.

Tomb-Sweeping Day usually cooked his parents' favorite dishes when they were alive.

Father likes to eat pig's trotters stewed with dried beans.

Mother likes eggs and potato skins best.

And the "gold-covered silver" rice is what parents love to eat!

I don't seem to have anything special prepared. I just want to pull some shepherd's purse with roots from the field and bring it back to cook with eggs to prevent headaches. I don't know what the specific effect is. That's what the old man said

In my hometown of northern Jiangsu, there is nothing particularly beautiful at noon in Tomb-Sweeping Day. At noon, rice is the most basic thing. A few dishes have been fried, and there must be seven or eight dishes such as fish, tofu and meat. These dishes are for the immortals, and they are also the lunch of Tomb-Sweeping Day's family. This is the impression that I visited the grave at home when I was a child. 1984 After joining the army, I left my hometown and met one in the army. After demobilization, I came to live in Henan with her. Now I have lived in Henan for 30 years. As usual, Tomb-Sweeping Day in Henan has not improved. Generally, it is pasta, but the method is different. I don't eat jiaozi and noodles, noodle soup and noodles. My wife doesn't like rice, so she doesn't eat rice.

When Tomb-Sweeping Day goes to the grave, he will bring some boiled eggs, roll them down from the top of the grave, and then let the children eat them, so that they can keep their ears and eyes open and learn better. There are also jujube eggs with different fillings, such as persimmon, peanut, raisin, melon seeds, twist and walnut. They are thin and stuffed, and then baked in the baking oven. They are tender and delicious, and they can be rolled up and shared.
