The ingredients of farm-made leek sauce include washed and unopened leek flower, fresh pepper, ginger and salt, which are ground into fine powder on a stone mill and sealed in the jar for several days, but can be eaten for a long time.

Tracing back to the history of China people eating leeks began in the Spring and Autumn Period. "The Book of Songs in July" said: "On the fourth day, its fleas sacrificed lambs to leeks." At the beginning of spring and April, lambs and leeks were used as priests of the cold god, which showed that leeks had a long history of eating in China and were precious at that time. However, the consumption of chives was in the Han Dynasty. Qi Min Yao Shu Planting Chives quoted Cui Ti's April Order in the Han Dynasty as saying, "July chives are pure". "leek" means leek flower.

How to eat chives:

1, chives are mostly made by grinding them into paste. In the poem Luwei written by Yeluchu Cai of the Yuan Dynasty, "Chives are as cool and spicy as scallions, but mustard scraps are inferior to cinnamon." In addition to being an essential seasoning for instant-boiled mutton, leek flower is also an essential seasoning for Sichuan white meat, a specialty dish in Northeast China. Braised pork slices, pickled cabbage, vermicelli and bone soup in a pot, accompanied by a dish of chives, or marinated shrimp sauce, or bean curd, or lobster sauce, or sesame sauce, is the most distinctive and affordable home-cooked dish for the northeast people in winter.

2, leek flowers can also be fried to eat, it is an autumn dish, leeks are not put, full of bones, with leeks cut into inches and fried with shredded pork, the fragrance is abnormal. This kind of dish can only be seen for a week every year in the market. After the time passes, the leeks will bear seeds and the leeks will wither, so naturally they cannot be eaten.
