Yesterday, I had nothing to do with surfing the Internet. When browsing casually, my eyes were suddenly attracted by a picture and I couldn't get it back. This is a round colored plate with a few pale pink plum petals on the side of the white plate. There is a plate of pale green broad beans on the plate, and a little frost is hung on the broad beans. Looking at it, I can't help but go back to decades ago. ......

I remember that it was in the mid-1970s, and the author had just entered primary school. At that time, my father often went to the south for business trips because of two small projects of scientific and technological innovation. Once my father came back from a business trip and dropped some broad beans from his canvas bag. It turned out that my colleague asked my father to bring a bag of broad beans, because the paper bag was broken and some of them fell into the bag (because there was no plastic bag of such good quality at that time). Pick up one and put it in your mouth. The aroma of cream goes straight through the fontanel. Then savor it with your tongue, and a salty and sweet taste permeates the tip of your tongue. The teeth are so hard that they don't bite. I don't blame the author for not seeing the world, nor for being greedy, because it was still a socialist planned economy at that time. If you want to eat a peanut and sunflower seed, you have to wait until the Spring Festival to take the food certificate at home to the grain store for supply, which is usually not available. At that time, I thought these beans were simply the most delicious treasures in the world. Blink of an eye, a few broad beans entered my stomach and I learned something. First, put the broad beans in your mouth for a while, soak them in saliva until they are soft, then scrape them with your teeth, and then you can chew them when they are soft. At the end of the experience, the broad beans were gone. Later, I learned that this bean is called Shanghai Old Town God Temple Cream Spiced Broad Bean, and I have eaten many other kinds of broad beans in the future. However, the mellow taste of the creamy spiced broad bean in Shanghai Old Town God Temple for the first time has always been unforgettable. I always feel that this broad bean is the best of all kinds of broad beans, which may be the so-called preconceptions.

It was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Just entering the era of reform and opening up, people's lives at that time have improved. The struggle non-staple food in Harbin or a non-staple food in Daoli can sometimes be seen selling that kind of broad beans. Let the family buy it twice, and it won't taste as refreshing as eating broad beans for the first time, but it's still the same every time. In short, eating broad beans once can save a meal.

The pace of time is like a blink of an eye, and it will not stop because of some people and things. 1984, the author graduated from junior high school and went to senior high school. During the winter vacation, I will go to my hometown in Hebei to visit my grandparents and spend the next year with the old people there, just in time for my father to go to Henan for a business trip. My father left me with my aunt in Tianjin. My aunt lives in Nankai District, Tianjin. It is an antique quadrangle with blue bricks and gray tiles, with main rooms in the north and south and wing rooms in the east and west. Because at that time, I was still a child, playing in the yard for a few days and then going shopping. I saw a long-lost broad bean in an unknown shop on the north road in the northeast corner. So, I didn't even ask the price, so I weighed two yuan and put it in a paper pocket. Ecstasy in my heart: now it's time to break fast. Sure enough, a bag of broad beans entered my stomach in the afternoon. Not only did I save dinner, but the hooks on both sides of my cheeks hurt for several days ... this is the last time I ate creamy spiced broad beans.

With the rapid development of market economy in the 1990s, there are a wide variety of goods in shopping malls and supermarkets. All kinds of domestic and imported snacks are available. But you can't see anyone selling that kind of broad beans in Harbin. I don't know if the profit is too thin, and the merchants are talking about business. I haven't eaten this kind of broad bean for nearly twenty years. With this in mind, I made up my mind to order two packs of broad beans quickly to relieve him of the pain of lovesickness. Actions speak louder than actions. Shoot if you want. ......
