As soon as it snows, our family drinks pickles soup. I don't know why. Is it because you can't buy food on snowy days? That's not necessarily true. Unless it snows heavily for three days and vegetable sellers can't get out, they will always go to the market to sell vegetables. This is probably just a habit. When I got up early in the morning and saw the snowflake, I knew it was pickle soup at noon today!
Pickles are pickled vegetables. We didn't grow cabbage there in the past, but occasionally we sold it, called "soybean sprouts", which were shipped from other places and were very valuable. A plate of fried shredded pork with bean sprouts is an excellent dish. Usually eat vegetables, vegetables are like rape, but they grow much taller. Autumn, when pickles and vegetables are fat. Buy vegetables in bundles, wash them, dry them and put them in jars. A layer of vegetables, a layer of salt, solid code. You can eat whatever you want until the next spring.
The new pickles preserved for four or five days are delicious, not salty or thin, tender, crisp and sweet, and unparalleled.
Pickle soup is made by chopping pickles and cooking them. In snowy weather, pickles have been pickled. The color of pickle soup is dark green. People who are not used to eating are not easy to arouse appetite.
Pickle soup sometimes adds a piece of germanium, which is pickle germanium soup. Or kimchi soup, whatever.
I really didn't have a good impression of Ji when I was a child. This thing tastes bitter. In the 20th year of the Republic of China, there was a flood in our hometown, and all kinds of crops were reduced, only Zi Qi had a bumper harvest. I ate a lot of magazines that year, but I didn't eat any. It's terrible.
/kloc-left his hometown at the age of 0/9 and drifted around. I haven't eaten purple chrysanthemum for thirty or forty years, and I don't want to eat it.
A few years ago, a few days after the Spring Festival, I went to Mr. Shen Congwen's house to pay a New Year call. He invited me to dinner, and Jenny Zhang Zhaohe fried a plate of sliced meat. Mr. Shen ate two tablets and said, "This is good! The grid is higher than potatoes. " I admit what he said. Pay attention to the level of "grid" when eating vegetables. This language is the language of teacher Shen. He talks about style in everything, including style and potato.
Because I haven't seen you for a long time, I have feelings for Ji. A few years ago, the vegetable market in Beijing sold periodicals around the Spring Festival. I see, it is necessary to buy some to fry with the meat. My family doesn't like it very much. Only I can manage all the gongs and drums.
Northerners don't know Ci. I am always asked, "What is this?" -"Ji"-"What is -“Ci?" That's not easy to answer.
In Beijing, the price of secret service is very expensive, similar to "Dongzi goods" (tomatoes produced in greenhouses) and pheasant neck leeks.
I really want to drink a bowl of pickled vegetable soup.
I miss the snow in my hometown.
Tiger shark, Angqian fish, clam, snail, clam
Suzhou people are very heavy on pond shad. Shanghainese are also very happy when it comes to pond loach. What kind of fish is pond snakehead? I have been longing for it for a long time. When I arrived in Suzhou, I wanted to try pond loach, but I didn't succeed. Later I learned that Tang Yan fish is a tiger shark, hehe!
Mandarin fish is also called homespun fish. "Suiyuan Food List": "Hangzhou is the top grade of homespun fish, Jinling is cheap, and it is a tiger-headed snake, so you can laugh." A tiger snake is a tiger shark. This kind of fish is ugly and a little fierce. The whole body is purple-brown, with fine black spots. The head is big and bony, and the fins are like butterfly wings. This kind of fish is also a benthic fish in our place and can't be served. Suzhou people have many ways to cook pond snakehead, such as stir-frying, salt and pepper. In our hometown, we usually drink soup with vinegar and pepper. Tiger shark soup, the fish is tender and loose, and the soup is fresh and appetizing.
Ang-scoffed fish also looks strange, with a flat head and a wide mouth, a bit like catfish, no scales, yellow skin and large irregular light black spots. No dorsal fin. And there is a hard and sharp bone spur on his back. Pick up this bone spur with your hand, and it will make a small sneering sound. I never understood how this voice came from. This kind of fish gets its name from this sound. What is its scientific name? You have to ask an expert in ichthyology. This kind of fish is rare if it is not very big, seven or eight inches long. This kind of fish is also very cheap, even the country people look down on it. One of my relatives cut in line in the countryside, saw Ang Sniff Fish and bought some. The farmer laughed at him: "Why buy this kind of fish!" This fish is really delicious. Fish with horns is usually soup, too. Tiger shark is vinegar soup, and the soup is white as milk without vinegar, which is called "milk soup". The fish is also very delicate, and the two garlic cloves on the cheeks are thumb-sized, which is delicious. One year, a fish shop in Beijing shipped some Angqian fish from nowhere, and no one cared. Customers don't even know what kind of fish it is. An old master who sells fish knows, "This is an insult." I was very happy to see it and bought a dozen. Going home is not the same as doing it! I want to eat it alive (tiger sharks are also killed alive). Long-distance transshipment, and some days in the cold storage, the meat hardened, the umami was gone, and it was not interesting at all!
Jiao Jiao, my hometown is Yangzhou, and Jiao Jiao is the name of Yangzhou people. I saw a clam in Dalian. I thought it was a clam, but it wasn't. The shapes are similar, but the entrances are different. Clam meat is thick and hard, so it can't be bitten, and its claws are soft and tender. This kind of clam seems to be produced in fresh water, but it tastes like seafood. It's a bit like oyster yellow, but it tastes fresher than oyster yellow. It tastes stronger than clams and clams. You can stir-fry, burn tofu, or cook with bacon. Braised black vegetables (called bitter vegetables in Jiangnan) have excellent flavor. The black cabbage in You Mei is now taken away by frost. I haven't eaten crabs for forty-five years.
The turtle shell is slightly triangular, solid, as white as fine porcelain, with arc spots in various colors such as lavender, crimson, ochre and dark blue, which is very beautiful. We bought clams and dug them at home, so we picked out the good ones from a pile of clams and washed them for fun. There are two protruding sharp mouths on the hinge part of clam shell. If you grind your sharp mouth on a rough stone, you will soon grind out two small round holes, and when you blow it in your mouth, there will be a fine vibrato, such as the wind blowing on window paper.
Snails are everywhere. Our hometown eats snails in Qingming, which means we can improve our eyesight. Boil snails with spiced spices, give them to children, each with half a bowl, and they will eat them with bamboo sticks. Children eat snails and shoot their shells on the roof with a small bamboo bow, which makes them giggle. In summer, bricklayers always sweep away many snail shells. This kind of small bow is called snail bow, which I described in detail in the novel The Turner.
