Every time the sun goes down, smoke from the kitchen smoke floats out from the chimneys on the loess walls and blue tiles. The air is filled with the aroma of lard mixed with green onions. This aroma goes straight to the sky. Tianling Gai, then he could hear from a distance the eggs being beaten into the pot and the fierce confrontation with the high-temperature lard. The egg white and the egg yolk instantly made an explosion sound, and not long after. , the aroma of fried eggs increased in the air, followed by the sound of rice being put into the pot and the collision of the spatula and the pot.
