Hehe, the vine of youth. In the past, northerners didn't often eat this stuff, but now it is more common. To put it bluntly, rattan vegetables are water spinach.
Teng Teng Cai is water spinach. In addition to being called water spinach, it also has a terrible name, which is called starving husband's dish.
According to legend, there was a couple, whose family was poor. The woman worked hard and was a clever woman, while the man was idle and a foodie. Life could have passed. However, one year, God didn't see it. Due to the natural disaster in the first year, the millet failed to harvest, and the new valley was still young. Seeing that the family was about to miss it, the woman thought of a way to cook porridge with rattan vegetables.
Originally, the pot was already full of rice and water, and when a handful of rattan vegetables went down, the rice disappeared. The man was picky about food, and when he saw that there was not a grain of rice in the pot, he gave up and sighed. He drank a bowl of rattan vegetable soup every day to talk about his life, and later he became a dead monkey. The woman, on the other hand, is becoming more and more lovely because of eating rattan vegetables. It turns out that the rice has got into the empty heart of rattan vegetables, but in fact it is all rice, so the porridge with comprehensive nutrition is of course more lovely.
Therefore, there is a popular saying in Chongqing: If you want to be handsome, you should eat rattan vegetables. Hehe, rattan vegetables are the love of Chongqing people, not to mention the rattan vegetables of youth.
Speaking of steaming vegetables, I have to mention Chongqing's small noodles. It is more common for Chongqing people to eat small noodles than hot pot. If we say that as Chongqing people, we don't eat hot pot, because it will cost money at that time, then if we don't let him eat small noodles for three days, I'm afraid it will kill him.
Noodles are the life of Chongqing people, and they are indispensable every day. In addition, in Chongqing, it is foggy all the year round, and only two seasons in Xia Dong are fuzzy, of which the spring and autumn can only be judged by eating small noodles.
Chongqing people's small noodle kung fu is no longer in the noodles but in the soup. There are also two kinds of soup, red soup and clear soup. Clear soup does not say that it is reserved for people outside Chongqing, but Chongqing people will eat red soup. Especially those Chongqing girls with fine white skin and fine white powder, they shout as soon as they enter the noodle restaurant; Boss, the noodles in red soup are two or two, and the flavor is bigger. Put more sea pepper and pepper.
Soup is old soup, and oil is red oil. Seasonings are all in the soup, while rattan vegetables and vegetables, as the name suggests, are "hollow" for soup. When the soup is put into a hollow rod, it is delicious when you put it together with the vegetables and soup. Except for a cool word, you may not find a more suitable word to express the true taste in the dictionary.
If you are suddenly surprised to find that the bottom of the dish in your noodle bowl has turned into rattan, it means that it is summer in Chongqing.
