On the stove of Qinghai farmhouse, it is always steaming, and those who are waiting to go home are looking forward to meeting again next year.

Chewing on a golden steamed bread, remember the shovel of the earthen kiln in the yard? Mom and her neighbors' aunts are busy making dough and cakes in the house, and men are holding cigarettes to make a fire in the yard. When the steamed bread is heated, oil it and put in the biscuit, and then the steamed bread can be cooked on both sides with fire. Golden flowers are like blooming flowers. They smell like fragrant fireworks. Eating in your mouth is tender and tender, which is the taste of childhood!

Break a string of oil cakes, crisp and crisp, and never tire of eating them. During national festivals, weddings and funerals, Sazi was never absent. He entertained relatives and friends, expressed the unity and friendship among all ethnic groups, and connected the friendship of all brothers and families in the world. Even today, he still can't resist its temptation, including his brothers and sisters who used to get into trouble with him-sweet and crispy fried dough sticks.

After drinking wheat tea, of course, I can't forget the delicious food of Laba Festival-Mairen porridge. Compared with porridge in other regions, wheat kernel porridge is richer in ingredients and slightly salty in vegetables. Grind the wheat, mix with beef or mutton, add pepper, fennel, salt and other seasonings, and cook with slow fire for one night. The next morning, a pot of delicious and steaming wheat porridge can be eaten.

There is also a bowl of sweet and thick fermented grains, which is delicious and processed from highland barley. The entrance is full of particles and gives off a faint bouquet. In summer, a bowl of candied fruit on the street can refresh your heart; Drinking a bowl in winter can also warm the stomach. Qinghai people's love for this snack can be expressed in one sentence: "Give your mouth a solution, with sweet preserves as the lead."

"February 2, stir-fry peas", the day when the dragon looks up, the local custom in Qinghai is to stir-fry soybeans. An auspicious implication is that after eating fried soybeans, people will be able to open their eyes and not indulge in the "abundance" during the Spring Festival. In the new year, they should work hard and strive for a better life! Simple and beautiful wishes began to come true in these "crunchy" beans.

After a hard year, I invited friends and relatives to sit around the dining table, eat steaming "earth hot pot", drink a clear highland barley wine, miss my hometown and taste the taste of my hometown!
