vinegar and broken ear root. I was not jealous until I was in the fifth grade of primary school, and I always felt the sour taste was very strange. Until one day, my friend and I ate in a noodle restaurant when we went to school in the morning. At that time, I originally ordered a bowl of rice noodles with clear soup, and she ordered rice noodles with red color. When the rice noodles were served, she began to add vinegar to them. I said, why do you add so much vinegar? It's so sour. She said, "No, it's delicious like this. It won't be too spicy with some vinegar. Would you like to try some?" I hesitated for a long time, but I still took a little from her bowl to eat. Sure enough, it tastes good, and it tastes like opening a new door in my world. You know, I used to eat rice noodles only with clear soup, and I was never jealous. The next day when we went to eat rice noodles, I ordered the same as her, then added vinegar, and finally drank the soup. And from now on, no matter what I eat, as long as there are peppers, I will definitely add vinegar. Without vinegar, it is an incomplete food.

The broken ear root is also called Houttuynia cordata Thunb. It smells fishy, but soaking in water is quite delicious. In the past, I only occasionally used broken ears to soak in water to drink, because it was more pathogenic. But if you eat it as a vegetable, you have never eaten it. Because my mother doesn't eat it either, she says it is astringent, so I have never tried it. However, when I was in college, almost everything we ate in our school was added with ear roots, and fried potatoes, cold noodles and maocai were all added with ear roots. Once, my classmate bought fried potatoes with ear roots, and sometimes a little ear roots stuck on them when eating potatoes. After eating them carelessly, I thought it was delicious. When she asked my classmate what it was, I thought it was ear roots before. I ate all the broken ears in the potato.

Later, when I went home, when my father broke his ears with cold salad, I could eat a few plates by myself, which was really delicious.
