I think I miss the person who said this. Living conditions used to be very bitter. The earthen stove is the only cooking tool. Add two handfuls of firewood, scoop some water and put a handful of rice. Within ten minutes, the hot rice will be ready. I remember when I was a child, the rice cooked with an earthen stove was particularly fragrant. The rice just out of the pot will be covered with rice skin as long as you wait a little while. The old man at home said that rice skin is nutritious and can only be eaten after being covered.

However, there are fewer and fewer earthen stoves, which is related to the gradual prosperity of the countryside. About ten years ago, rural areas began to connect with cities, and various kitchen utensils and cookers also entered rural families. Since then, the use of earthen stoves has gradually been replaced. Only during the Chinese New Year, the old people at home will boil water to entertain relatives and friends to get together for a pig-killing meal.

Strangely, the same cooked meat, heated and cooked in a earthen stove, seems more fragrant, without the fishy smell from the rice cooker. Many friends who don't eat meat should try the earthen stoves in the cauldron. They love Kazuhiro Mori bowls. Of course, a large piece of meat with big wine is enough. We don't think it's enough not to get drunk every year, and we have to have tea and chat late after dinner. This kind of party is especially cherished in the eyes of the rural elderly, because the elderly know it.

The concerns of the rural elderly are not unreasonable. Nowadays, rural people are different from the rural life of "two acres of land and one cow" in the past. On the one hand, they have to give their children a bride price, on the other hand, they have to solve the old-age expenses of the elderly at home. It can be said that it is too tired to stand. After nine hours, "money" became the only driving force, which became less important than maintaining family ties. However, in a hundred years, relatives may cook, because no one burns wood. Therefore, the saying that cooking with earthen stoves is fragrant is people's nostalgia for things that have passed away.
