After several spring rains, sharp heads appeared in the fields and lush bamboo forests among the green hills. This is a bamboo shoot. At this time, bamboo shoots are tender and cheap, and they are home-cooked dishes on the table of every household. There are all kinds of bamboo shoots floating over my hometown: bamboo shoots burn fat but not greasy; Braised bamboo shoots in oil are tender and fresh; Baked bamboo shoots with pickles are very refreshing. The inexhaustible bamboo shoots will also be made into various delicacies, or canned, or dried bamboo shoots, or salt-covered sheep tail bamboo shoots. In hot summer, when people have no appetite, take out a few sheep's tail bamboo shoots and soak them in warm water several times until the salty taste is removed and shredded. Adding sugar, monosodium glutamate and sesame oil makes it a particularly refreshing dish, which makes people have an appetite at once.
In July and August, peaches in the mountains and plains are ripe and fragrant like clouds, hanging over every household. In hot summer, eating a peach makes me energetic. Look! The toothless old woman only picked ripe peaches to eat, and when she pulled them up, she peeled them all. When the old woman sucked, the juice kept dripping from her hands. Looking at her sweet smile, my heart must be sweet. And young people like to eat hard peaches. Take a bite, it's crispy and refreshing!
In autumn, the clouds are clear and the sun is shining, and the taro in the field is ripe. I was covered in long hair and dark, but I pulled it out, washed it and cooked it. It was delicious. Braised ribs with taro is a dish, simmered slowly. Sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion when cooking, and the aroma is attractive. Take a sip of soup, it's really fresh! Taro nuts taste waxy, soft, slippery and delicious. No wonder as the saying goes, I ran through the three customs and six docks and ate taro in Fenghua.
The food in my hometown is more than that. Can't finish writing, can't finish talking. When the familiar smell comes out of our tongue from time to time, we know that home is always there.
