I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, and I am particularly impressed by the delicacies cooked in rural firewood and iron pots. Whenever there is a happy event in the countryside, every household in the village and the entire street will be busy. Everyone worked together to build a simple stove with bricks that could hold a large pot at the door of the house in advance, preparing the ingredients needed for every meal the next day. Some are washing dishes, some are killing pigs, and some are washing and picking vegetables. The whole street is a lively scene. In the city, you can't experience the scene of neighbors helping each other.
When weddings and weddings are held in rural areas, people basically don’t go to restaurants, mainly to save costs. They are all friends and relatives nearby, and neighbors nearby help each other. This saves costs and makes the happy event a hot one. It’s lively, and the meals you cook are affordable and large, matching the appetite of rural people. Even though restaurants are not affordable, people often don’t have enough to eat. Doing things at home in rural areas is a hundred times better than going to a restaurant. If the food in rural areas is not enough, you will end up with big pot dishes, and you can eat as much as you want. In fact, the delicacies made in big pot dishes in rural areas are not worse than those cooked in stores, but are actually more delicious.
Back to the topic, there is no doubt that the food cooked in iron pots made with firewood in rural areas is really delicious. This is a gas stove. If the gas stove cannot compare, the delicious food made in iron pots made with firewood in rural areas can be tasted at home no matter what. I can't make that kind of taste, the kind of taste that is made with firewood. I have a deep understanding of it after eating rural big pot dishes. If you don’t believe it, just eat a meal cooked in a firewood iron pot in the countryside and you will know. Why is the food cooked by firewood in my hometown so delicious? Because the firewood is soft and the gas fire is not hard, the flames can heat the iron pot evenly, and the delicious food cooked with the smoke of the firewood will naturally taste different.
I am particularly fascinated by the large firewood stew in the countryside, which contains pork belly, meatballs, skin residue, cabbage, tofu and the like. No matter how you make it at home, you cannot make the woodfire iron pot stew with that taste. The smell came out. Nowadays, due to environmental protection, the use of firewood for cooking in rural areas is becoming less and less. Most places have replaced it with gas stoves, and the taste of large pots of food stewed with firewood in the past has been lost. The taste of large pots of food can only be found in In memory.
