Food is the first necessity of the people, and there is no shortage of various delicacies in rural areas.
Because of the environment, rural areas are close to nature and have more opportunities to try various plants.
In the past, conditions in rural areas were poor, and various wild vegetables in the wild were also food to satisfy hunger. Nowadays, rural people still have the habit of looking for wild vegetables.
As a rural person, I am most familiar with the wild vegetables in the village.
There are different wild vegetables that you can try in every season. Today, when life is good, it is also a good time to remember the bitterness and sweetness.
I smelled a familiar fragrance at the intersection and looked up to see the locust trees in the village blooming. This was the time to eat locust flowers.
Steamed Sophora japonica In the past, life in rural areas was poor and there was no money to buy snacks for the children.
The children have their own tricks. There are various wild vegetables and fruits outside the village.
When I was a child, when the locust flowers bloomed, I would pick a basket of them and beg my mother to cook them.
Steamed Sophora japonica is a delicious dish. Steaming a plate of Sophora japonica flowers when cooking is also a delicious dish.
When the rice is done, the sophora flowers will be cooked, and it tastes particularly good when mixed with some garlic sauce.
Sophora flower cake: In the past, there was little oil and water in rural areas, so my favorite food was this oil-baked sophora flower cake.
Making sophora flower cake is a bit complicated. First, blanch the sophora flower in boiling water, filter it with clean water, then squeeze out the water and mix it with the noodles in a basin.
If you want it to be delicious, you can put two eggs, sugar, salt and other seasonings, and put it in the oil pan like pancakes.
The baked sophora flower cake is browned on both sides. It is crispy and crispy when you bite it, and has the fragrance of vegetation.
Sophora japonica porridge. In rural areas, people eat light food in the morning, so cooking a portion of Sophora japonica porridge is perfect.
Wash the Sophora japonica flowers with clean water and put a handful when making porridge.
The cooked sophora porridge is light green in color and looks very refreshing.
When I was a kid, I would add a spoonful of sugar to my sophora porridge. It was purely natural and delicious, and much better than today’s drinks.
There are many locust trees in the village. When the locust flowers bloom, people start to release bees.
There are many beehives outside the village, and there are many bees going in and out to collect honey. This is how the honey we usually eat comes from.
Honey can be said to be an expensive supplement in rural areas in the past, let alone this locust flower honey.
Adults can also see through children's desire for honey and buy as much as they can.
In the past, if you put some honey in water, children would rush to drink it.
What we eat in the countryside is the old locust tree.
The flowers of the Sophora japonica trees planted on the roadside are inedible because they smell too strong.
Sophora japonica flowers are also a delicacy, but sophora japonica flowers are cool in nature, so just give them a try but don’t eat too much.
