Winter Guanzhong? There is only one sun in Weibei, and it is dark again. Just like the old man in the village said: In winter, the moon rotates with the bowl, and the diligent daughter-in-law eats two meals a day, combs her hair and binds her feet, but doesn't drink soup. The days in winter are very short. At dawn, the members start to work in the fields and the students go to school.
A night of loneliness and tranquility in winter began with gastrodia elata in MingLiang Yu, and began to recover and fidget around 9: 00 in the morning. The opening overture is a country symphony, which consists of bellows with different rhythms, the chirping of chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep, the crying of children and the reprimanding of housewives. The bellows fanned the smoke on the roof, and against the blue sky and white clouds, the smoke flew into the sky like a wisp of flying white silk scarf. Looking at the rugged nine squares in the north and Taibai and Qinling Mountains in the south, a long scroll of rural landscape on the Weihe Plain in Guanzhong comes into view. At three o'clock at sunrise, the members call it a day and the students are out of school. Countless villagers were surrounded in the courtyard of Sunshine Slope at the end of the village. This is an old bowl meeting on the Weibei Plain in Guanzhong.
Food was scarce in those days, and no one lived a good life. In winter, breakfast is full of treasures and sauerkraut. A big bowl of old glutinous rice balls is sour and yellow, which can be eaten for more than half a day. Baogu Zhenzi and sour yellow vegetables seem to be the staple food and food of every household in Weibei Plain of Guanzhong.
Cooking Bao Gu Zhen Zi is made of new Bao Gu made that autumn. Cooking Bao Gu Zhen Zi has certain skills and knowledge. The water in Weibei Plain is short of alkali, so when cooking delicacies, you should add some alkaline noodles to the pot and simmer slowly around the bottom of the pot with a spoon to prevent the bottom of the pot from burning. While stirring, look at the viscosity of Zhen Zi. When Zhenzi is cooked until the spoon can be hung on the spoon wall, but not when the spoon is pulled or the spoon cannot be stirred, the thickness is moderate. A family's bowls are divided according to their age and appetite. The men in charge are all oversized old bowls, and the home is full of corn treasures, and the pot has bottomed out. The hostess added a handful of firewood to the kitchen hall at the bottom of the pot, burned the bottom of the pot brown and dry, and then poured in the leftover juice of sour and yellow vegetables to bake and stir fry. Deep-fried corn Zhen Zi pot bottom is just like the crispy rice that people eat now. This delicacy has become the food that children at home compete for every day.
Sauerkraut and yellow vegetables are half-height old urns prepared by every household after frosting. Wash and dry stewed vegetables, rape or radish seedlings, dry them with noodle soup, and put them into an urn for compaction layer by layer. Then pour the noodle soup into an urn, cover it with a stone, and ferment for three to five days before eating. The jar with more pickles at home is naturally big, and this sour and yellow old dish can be eaten from winter to the next spring.
? Take as much sauerkraut and yellow vegetables as you eat, and cut the pickled yellow vegetables into pieces on the chopping board. Put it in a bowl and sprinkle with dried Chili noodles. The dragon put an iron spoon on the kitchen fire to burn oil. When the oil is hot, it will directly splash the oil on the spicy noodles, and a smoke will come out. In an instant, the fragrance of oil, pepper and sauerkraut will be mixed into a special fragrance all over the house.
? Most of the bowls that Bao Guzhen eats are big old bowls, and one big old bowl of rice can top three bowls of ordinary rice. Bao Guzhen is thin and thick, and vegetables can float on it. Sadako's shelves are full of sour and yellow vegetable racks, and the sharp base is as high as a tower.
? The old bowls for eating the treasure-corn Zhen Zi are all thick-walled old bowls covered with sour and yellow vegetables, so that the rice can keep warm and the hands can keep warm. From beginning to end, a bowl of old Bao Guzhen was finished, the rice was still hot, and the bowl was still warm. When eating Zhenzi, you can dig a big mouthful of Zhenzi and eat a sour vegetable. While eating, you plan to eat at the same time, tearing at the shortcomings of your parents. Each carrying his own job, chatting about other people's gossip. Men are standing, sitting or squatting, and children are running around the nest with bowls. Eating your own food and looking at other people's bowls, whoever has a good life, naturally, Bao Guzhen will stick. Whose daughter-in-law has good tea and rice, the sour and yellow vegetables will naturally be pickled and chopped. Eating a meal, basking in rural anecdotes, people with a little culture are eating their own treasures, enjoying the leisure in the State Council, or talking about international trends or current affairs and politics. While eating Jane's sauerkraut, the old bowl slowly cooled from the bowl wall, and Baowen Jane naturally formed a smooth layer with the old bowl. In less than an hour, a big bowl of Bao Liang Zhen was eaten with sauerkraut, and the old bowl of Bao Liang Zhen, sauerkraut and bowl were naturally clean. The bowl is as clean as washing, which is the secret of eating baogu zhenzi handed down by Qin people in Laoshan, and it is also a master of folk eating baogu zhenzi.
? After dinner, women wash pots and dishes, men work in the fields, and children continue to go to school. Day after day, a winter passed, year after year. Times are changing, but the eating habits of pickled cabbage and yellow vegetables in Baojia Town have not changed.
? Life is getting richer and better. The old bowl for eating baogu zhenzi in winter in Weibei plain of Guanzhong has disappeared, but the habit of Qin people eating baogu zhenzi and sour yellow vegetables continues. Although I have been in the city for many years, I still eat baogu zhenzi and sauerkraut every winter and think about the past. What changes is the years, but what remains unchanged is the eating habits of people in Laoshan, A Qin.
