Childhood memories of good food, not necessarily how precious, expensive, the reason why after many years have not forgotten, because the inside left a good childhood memories.
My childhood was spent in the rural suburbs of Beijing, and I remember a few delicious things.
1. Oil residue pancakes
Oil residue is the residue left after refining oil with lard, water oil and intestinal oil. The oil dregs of the child first with hot water, and then chopped, into the wheat flour, *** and into a little bit of hard pancake surface, and then in the case of its rolling out with a rolling pin, try to roll out thinner four in order to increase the salty flavor and layer more, in the cake coated with some peanut oil, and then sprinkled with some fine salt, and then rolled, and then disk, and then rolled gently, so that the shape of the pancake, into a wood pot to cook, can be used for food.
The cake is fragrant and has the beauty of meat flavor, layers and more; oil in it, showing its outside is more beautiful. Lard in the material scarcity of the times is a high-grade food, the price is more than lean meat, but also very sought-after, often need to be booked in order to buy, of course, now no one wants lard, oil residue pancakes are also very few people to do. Neighbors once quipped, "In these 30 years, except for the big oil did not increase the price, all other increases."
2. Sesame Sauce Sugar Cake
Sesame Sauce Sugar Cake can be regarded as the best of the home-cooked staple food. In the comedy "Fishing", "his father" said: "his mother, give me two sugar cookies, I will go there with my eyes closed to take a hundred or so!" This is a very special kind of sugar cookie!
Sesame sauce sugar pancake practice is very simple, with the production of ordinary pancakes is almost the same: wheat flour and pancake surface, first wake up, then the surface on the panel rolled into a round piece, coated with sesame sauce, sprinkled with brown sugar on the sauce, from bottom to top rolled up into a roll, and then rolled up into a circle, sprinkled with thin, rolled out into a pancake, put in a wood pot to cook, along with the branding with the pancake on the brush with some peanut oil to cook, to be ready for food. The cake is soft and tasty, and it is very beautiful to eat on the porridge. Now some of the staple kitchen also sells sesame sauce sugar cakes, but I still think my mom's most delicious.
3. Avalanche eggs
This can not find the right picture. The "Bun Eggs", also known as "Iron Spoon Eggs", is a snack that old ladies in the countryside used to make for their children. Slang often says: "headache fever sweating, the body is not comfortable for you to crash an iron spoon egg." In the old days, in the countryside, in case of children "haunted by the devil" or greedy, the old lady in the bowl to play an egg, add a little salt, to the hot iron spoon child a put, turn over and then the school can be eaten. There are also directly to the iron spoon in the egg, but the spoon must be hot, turn over to fast, do not have to add any oil in the spoon. This kind of crash eggs, to maintain the natural fragrance of the egg, slightly salty, very appetizing pressure mouth. Especially with rural chickens only laid fresh eggs, is more interesting. Now the material abundance, eggs are all supermarkets, chicken farms in the chicken under the, no one so eat.
4. Elm money
In the spring, some elm trees before the blossom of the first string of light green seeds, the shape of the small and round, rounded in the middle of the bulge, which is the elm seeds, that is, elm money. Elm money, spoken as "elm shallow child". Because of its shape round and thin as a coin, so named, and because it is the "money" of the harmonic, and therefore have eaten elm money can have "money" of the saying.
Spring is the time to eat this thing. When it's too late, it's old, so it's not good enough to eat. Little friends will take this time to climb up the tree, a basket basket of elm money to stroke down, bring home to do a lot of food. Such as: elm money po faller, elm money rice, elm money nest, elm money pancakes ...... the most simple and skillful play is in the tree first pick the big good fresh elm money to eat enough, and then to the basket to run. Those who do not go to the tree children under the tree to eat fresh elm money, tree children pick elm money grows dense place, pouting on one or two branches of the child thrown down to them to eat, this is a reminiscent of the sweet childhood fun, and today can not climb the tree, and can not enjoy this fun!
