When I was a child, I ate most home-made pea jelly in rural Sichuan. It is made from pure pea flour and has a smooth and tender texture, leaving a mouth-filling aroma. Add seasonings to create the flavor you like, and pair it with a bowl of rice, it’s great! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Although they are still being made now, they can no longer taste the same as before. A childhood that cannot be returned

All the edible things have lost the taste of childhood. The things we eat now are upgraded and abnormal, different in essence and different in taste.

I ate this kind of thing when I was a child, but it feels really different when I eat it as an adult. It's pork! When I was a child, my family was relatively poor. My father would only buy some meat during holidays, and the family would eat steamed meat or dumplings together. I still remember that because I was the youngest at home, everyone would give me meat! Nowadays, national policies have been improved, and people’s living standards have also been greatly improved. In many places, you can basically eat pork every day, even for meals. I am really grateful to the leadership of the party for leading us into a new era and leading us to live a well-off life!

There are too many, and you can eat them now. The taste is not as good as before, and some of them are no longer sold:

"Dragon Chaoshou" on Chunxi Road, Chengdu, Admiral Street "Fried Buns" and "Sanhe Ni", "Chicken Noodles" on Taisheng Road, "Zhang Liang Noodles" on Yudai Bridge, "Zhang Tea Duck" on Beimen Bridge, "Roast Duck" and "Crispy Duck" on Ma'an North Road "Guokui" and "Shredded Rabbit", "Ganji Fat Rice Roll" next to Jiangong Hospital, "Warm Duck" and "Sweet Water" in Qinglongchang.

White flour steamed buns are a delicacy that I will never forget when I was a child. During the wheat harvest season, I cut the wheat during the day and threshed the wheat at night. I compete with the sky for time and receive the wheat into the warehouse early. Li was relieved. Every night, Bang Nanli had to go to work until 12 o'clock at night. Not only did everyone get credit for their work points, but they were also rewarded with two large white flour buns. My grandpa felt sorry for me and took me to the production team's wheat field to sleep every day. After giving out the steamed buns, my grandpa didn’t even eat a bite. He watched me finish eating, and then asked me to drink some water and go back to sleep. Then he started working like everyone else. The sweet smell of the steamed buns is a taste that I can’t forget until now. When I was in elementary school, my grandpa also left us and went to Hexi. When I grew up, I always felt guilty. My grandpa was busy most of the night and didn't eat a bite of the steamed buns. I ate them all. Now that I think about it, I feel really bad.

My favorite when I was a kid was my grandma’s snack box. At that time, every Chinese New Year, relatives came to pay New Year greetings to grandma. In those days, there was no fruit or milk, so people would bring two boxes of snacks. What I remember most is the chicken cake in the snack box, also called trough cake. It has a strong egg flavor and leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth. After the guests left, grandma opened the box. There were several kinds of snacks in it, and let my sister and I choose. , we always pick the chicken cake first. I thought it was very delicious when I was a kid. Now that I think about it, I still smell the sweet smell.

There are all kinds of cakes sold in supermarkets and cake shops now, including cream, jam, date, and chocolate flavors. I don’t like to eat them. Some are said to be old-fashioned cakes, but they are not as good as before. That taste. I think the materials used in the past may have been real materials without so many food additives. Now, in order to look good and attract attention and make more money, food additives are used, and the taste has changed.

One is fried mung bean jelly, which is commonly known as fried mung bean jelly. Put oil in a large pan, then add sliced ??mung bean jelly, fry on both sides to make gaba, then add chopped green onion, sesame oil and salt, it's delicious.

One is beef meatballs. Put the fried beef meatballs into a soup pot (I don’t know what kind of soup it is) and cook it. Then add garlic sprouts or something. I can’t remember clearly. The oil is relatively thick. For In an age when oil and water are scarce, it is very delicious.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it now

The food in my memory is very ordinary, but those foods are very warm. Do these count?

When I was young, my parents were doing business in other places, and I grew up with my second uncle’s daughter. Second uncle's wife is also my aunt. Logically speaking, I grew up with a crazy mother, and I often call her Second Aunt. When I was young, my crazy mother was not crazy. At that time, she always rode the family's tricycle and ran a small business, selling pickles in the streets, including sweet potato strips, watermelon sauce, fermented bean curd, pickle heads, mustard shreds... …Sometimes when the crazy lady comes back from doing business, she will put a small piece of fermented bean curd on each of our steamed buns. It is soft, glutinous and fragrant. Not to mention how fragrant the small piece of fermented bean curd is. Eating one piece makes you feel like a nouveau riche. Standing at the end of the village to show off to his friends.

When I was a kid, I tore open the instant noodles condiments that had been stored for a long time and spread them on the steamed buns, and stuffed the steamed buns with salt grains and noodles. These were all unforgettable flavors from my childhood. Sometimes the crazy lady would pickle a jar of salted eggs and cook a few for us. When I was a kid, I ate such rare salted eggs and thought they were the most delicious eggs I had ever eaten in my life.

One year, the crazy lady was doing business selling oranges, so she gave the cracked oranges to us children to eat. We distributed them unevenly at that time, half of them to you and half to me.

In my memory, I always peel off the orange veins one after another before putting them in my mouth with peace of mind. If you ask me, does it taste good? I want to tell you, it tastes 10,000 times better than fermented bean curd! ! ! Even now I am a person who loves oranges very much.

Another day, the crazy lady came back from the market and bought two fried dough sticks for the three of us children, and each of us got half of one. The fried dough sticks were so small that we could fit them in one bite. The three of us came up with a good idea. Each of us took half a piece of steamed bun and broke it in the middle to eat the fried dough sticks. However, we still couldn't bear to eat it. After taking a bite, we pulled the steamed bun down a little. For fried dough sticks, take a bite of the steamed bun, and then pull down a little of the fried dough sticks, for fear that if you take a big bite, the fried dough sticks will disappear.

When I was very young, the conditions at home were not good. My mother was working in the fields during the day and had no time to take care of us, so she asked my sister to cut a little shredded radish every day. In fact, it was not shredded radish, it was as thick as a finger. almost. Just sprinkling a little salt on it did nothing. One day, I stood at the door of my neighbor's house and kept smelling the aroma of their food. When I got home, I said to my mother: Mom, why is our food not so fragrant? The aroma of the food can be smelled from a distance, and my mother feels particularly sad when talking about it.

Now that living conditions have improved, I have never experienced the hard days like before. It is even said that now you can eat big fish and meat at any time, but half a fried dough stick, half a piece of fermented bean curd, and half a bowl of shredded radish, Never tasted so good again. This is the best warm taste I can remember but will never eat again.

Oil buns, not every household makes these. When I was a kid, every time I steamed steamed buns, my grandma would always steam some oil buns, which were very fragrant and she would eat two or three at a time. It’s not that I don’t like to eat it now, because grandma is gone and no one makes it for me to eat, so I still miss the taste.

I remember all kinds of seafood in the sea when I was a child.

Crabs with their teeth and claws dancing, various flying fish that follow the ebb and flow of the tide, fresh shrimps and octopuses that shuttle among the seagrass, various sea snails and clams, with eyelashes hanging from their tails Mu Xian with a little tail...

Some of today's seafood are nutritious, and the quality and flavor are not the same as those grown naturally.

There are also fruit trees planted on the mountain, naturally growing wild fruits, and slices of cantaloupe. Bathed in the sun, rain and dew, and caressed by the willow breeze, the fruits mature naturally, exuding an attractive fragrance and taste. Pure, pure fragrance, pure sweetness.

Then there are the meat, egg and milk foods. Although the original cultured food cannot be compared with the instant food in terms of quantity, in terms of the quality and taste of the food and the proportion of harmless ingredients, the original cultured food is better than the instant food. Several times higher.

With the development and progress of society and the continuous improvement of living standards, there is also great pressure, extreme fatigue, and physical overdraft, which also requires nutritional supplements. Primitive and natural farming methods are far from meeting current needs.

The rapid breeding industry that has flowed in from abroad has formed a large scale and is about to replace the law of natural growth. It is rare to taste the food of childhood again
