So, if you want to find some of the delicious on behalf of childhood, in addition to the festivals of the "big fish and meat", and the Dragon Boat Festival dumplings, Mid-Autumn mooncakes, the winter solstice, and most of the festivals to get the patty cake, dumplings, rice crackers, deep-fried rice flowers, and so on, and other flavors have to find out for themselves. One of the flavors comes from the baking of charcoal, which has been passed down from the time of slash-and-burn agriculture.
Usually, we bake the most is sweet potato taro, sometimes also baked corn cassava. First of all, these things are dug out, transported to the river bank, and then pick up some firewood, started a fire, burned half an hour or a quarter of an hour, there are some red-hot charcoal, the sweet potatoes and taro thrown into the charcoal, stick to the charcoal to bake them. And then continue to burn the fire, such as sweet potato taro skin burnt, and turn the other side, continue to bake, gradually smell the sweet smell from the fire. Feel almost cooked, the hand test, pinch a pinch, the inside is also soft, it is baked, you can eat it. The charred skin "off", golden or reddish-purple smoking sweet potatoes, sweet and fragrant, eat a mouthful of feeling appetizing, can not help but eat; taro is another flavor, fragrant, a little powder! A few bites to eat one, eat one after another, simply can not stop. This baked things to eat more, full stomach, but also flatulence, so walking around you have to be careful, otherwise it is easy to reveal the cloven foot - chain farting, designated as baked sweet potatoes and taro eat too much. Especially some of the urchins in a hurry, baked half-cooked, can not resist, rushed to eat, farting, sure to cause public anger! We do not like to "mess with" the sweet potato kiln, just want to watch the sweet potato taro slowly baked.
Roasted sweet potatoes and taro, are only some vegetarian. If you want to have some meat, you have to work a little harder to find bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. This thing is generally the size of a finger, elephant-like body, but there are six legs and claws, long half of the hook nose; look a little ugly, ugly a little scary. See a bamboo shoot slightly "withered", sickly not spirit, take off its bamboo shoots, one by one, one by one, you will see one or two bamboo shoots bugs, captured down the barbecue or deep-fried, fragrant, really fragrant, comparable to the grilled world's supremacy - roast duck! Catch bamboo shoots insect to grow bold, do not be scared by its appearance, press its back, break its legs and claws, hand to hand; otherwise, when it woke up, fast crawling to escape, stretching wings to fly up, you can not do anything about it, only to look at the shadow of it fly away sigh.
Of course, bamboo shoots are not always long, sick bamboo shoots are not often, bamboo shoots are not strong, this meat dish is not easy to come, why not bake some of the "rice locusts Princess" to taste it. My hometown is located in the subtropical region, planted two seasons of rice a year, grain maturity, harvest time is always particularly busy, not only adults, children also have to undergo "labor reform" early. Before I started school, I learned how to mow grain, cutting small handfuls of grain into large handfuls for the adults to beat the grain. At that time, we cut the grain on one side, pay attention to the movement on the pole, see "rice locust princess" can not be easily let go; at this time, stop cutting the grain, catching the "princess", adults will not blame, just to take the opportunity to sneak lazy, take a break from laziness. Rice locust princess looks very beautiful, relative to other locusts, and even the vast majority of insects, can be proud of generous, slim, well-proportioned, wings like gossamer made of long skirts, as if an active jumping "Xi Shi", "Sable Cicada". Perhaps because of this reason, people let go of other ugly locusts, but to capture the "Princess" to fry or barbecue; it seems that people always have the beautiful things do not lack the possession of the miss ah.
Catching the rice locust princess is a bit risky, be careful not to be bitten by her. You hold her down, carefully break her two big teeth to one side, her "threat" will be lifted; the rest is to prevent her from escaping, only to her thighs, small feet broken in half, she will stay in the bamboo hat nest. At this time, she has wings can not take off to escape, her complete legs and feet are equivalent to the wheels of the aircraft, the wheels a bad, paralyzed aircraft, there is no way to take off. We cut the harvest cut the harvest, a large piece of paddy field is almost finished, leaving a small piece of paddy field seedlings, just like a "lonely island", a lot of locusts on the "harbor" in the inside. So, everyone fiddled with this "island" of poles, let go of the other locusts, only to catch the panicked and slipped away from the rice locust princess, cheering and shouting, and a good harvest! At that time, the rice paddies were not sprinkled with so many pesticides, the rice locust princess is also considered "pure", and do not need to wash, so barbecue to eat, well, fragrant, crispy, sweet, as usual, after eating a and want to eat one, until eaten out of the light before giving up. If you catch more, adults will be put into the pot deep-fried or slow-fried, that is the adults under the wine of a good dish; with chopsticks to pick up a, nibble half, to two mouthfuls of rice wine, and then eat the other half, and then drink a couple of mouthfuls of rice wine, smacking his lips, ah, the taste of the day, is really to the top!
Until now, I still have a question, and did not deal with the internal organs of the rice locust princess, but do not feel a trace of dirt, is it true that the princess does not eat the earth?
After the winter, the mountain nest gradually become cold. The first time I saw this, I was able to see the whole world, and I was able to see the whole world, and I was able to see the whole world. So, we have to burn up the fire plate. Find a rotten or old plate, tied up with wire, put firewood into the plate, ignited, grasping the wire swing circle, whirling whirling, after a while, the fire will be strong.
Huohu lit a fire, roast fire roast fire, the human body warmed up, and then have to coax the stomach, then bake something to eat it. Most of the time, they bake some dried sweet potatoes, some patties, and even roasted potpourri. There is really nothing to bake, just sprinkle some grain or corn, poof sound, the snow-white flowers will burst out, pick up, eat while hot, well, it is also very sweet and delicious, eat all the thick warmth. Sometimes, we also bring a root of rice noodles to baking, lifting a small section near the baking charcoal, and soon the rice noodles will be "swollen" up, white fat, white fat, into the mouth to bite and eat a section, and continue to grill another section of the ...... the fun of barbecuing and eating enjoyment blend! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
I also grilled bee pupa. Indeed, the two people in this aspect of eating, never lack of "leading eat crab" courage and spirit. But roasted bee pupa this delicious but seems a little overbearing, not everyone can "enjoy". When I was a child, I ate a baked bee pupa, eat into the mouth also feel fragrant and moist, good taste; but not long after eating feel unusually hot, skin allergies, the whole body surging red bumps, the more you scratch the more itchy, itchy and want to cry. I had no choice but to run home, my mom scolded while getting some onion and ginger juice to apply, and then only slowed down. The first thing I did was to get the money to pay for the purchase, and then I was able to get the money to pay for the purchase.
If you eat a lot of barbecue, if you are afraid of fire, you can do a little bit of cold noodles to eat.
At that time, Xiaotun's backyard is full of bamboo and small trees, a lush scene, a little search, you can see a kind of long in the prickly wood on the wild fruits, thumb so big, bright green, careful with the wood leaves to pick back, do "water churning cream" (similar to the tortoise shell paste, turquoise `) to eat, heat and detoxification, the efficacy of a few days, and the effect of a few days, the body will be able to eat. The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the heat, so you can get rid of the heat, so you can get rid of the heat.
Of course, picking fruit leaves is only the first step, the second step to make "water churning cream", only to show the real skills. Wash the fruit leaves, put a face plate, add a small half plate of spring water, and then wash your hands (not clean out of the "water churning cream" on the miscellaneous flavor), hold up, pinch the fruit leaves rub it, rub ah rub, rub hard. Not long after, the face plate of the spring water on the green, continue to rub, the plate of water gradually bright green, deep green. Feel almost, the fruit and leaves of the end of the dregs fished off, with a fine gauze to leak the juice into a large bowl, a small plate, and then shaved some edible gypsum powder, stirring, cover, precipitation, a quarter of an hour so, "water stirring paste" is ready. Well, eat with some sugar water, green and clear, taste cleaner, cool and moisturize the intestines, so not comfortable!
If you want to make a good "water stirring cream", do two things is enough. One is to have patience, rubbing fruit and leaves to rub through, rubbing cool to go; two to grasp the accurate, gypsum planing appropriate, more paste knot, lumps, less not precipitation, not paste. At that time, my handicraft in the children of Tuen Mun is one of the best, others do not finish, can not eat, I do not always enough to eat. From time to time, there are to "learn from the master", I will take this theory out to speak, but speak to speak, some of the urchins just can not learn; alas, difficult, really difficult!
One weekend afternoon, I nestled in my messy nest to read a borrowed storybook, other villages to live next door to me Azhu Dudu stepped on the wooden stairs upstairs, red-faced fluttering to the side of my bed, buzzing asked: "What are you doing?"
I was shocked, but then I calmed down and answered, "I'm reading a book."
Azhu sat on the edge of the bed and pointed at me, "You taught me how to make 'water stirring cream'!"
I reviewed the previous theory again, Azhu listened and nodded, and then stared at me. I was embarrassed, she suddenly smiled and asked, "Hey, how do you talk about girls in school? How to talk about me?"
I was surprised again, "This, this, I'm not sure."
Azhu: "I heard that you like to write in your diary, and you've written a big book.
This is the first time I've seen a movie that I've ever seen.
I was so confused that I turned over my diary from the end of the bed and handed it to her. Azhu just sat there and read it, reading and chattering, and glancing at me from time to time without meaning to.
My mom, I hugged the storybook, looked at Azhu, looked at her face so red, nose and eyebrow wing movement, and looked at the side of the wooden window, afraid of what bugs fly through there. I'm not sure how long it has been, but I'm not sure how long it's been, and I'm not sure how long it's been.
In retrospect, the flavor at that time was also strange and interesting!
In retrospect, the flavor of that time was also very interesting.
