Huaihua cake
Sophora japonica cake should not be called Sophora japonica cake exactly, but a kind of pasta made of corn flour and washed Sophora japonica, just like steamed bread. When I was a child, this kind of pasta became a delicious food that we indulged in in the season when Sophora japonica was fragrant.
Grandma's hands are very dexterous. When making Sophora japonica cake, there are always many tricks. She crushed the corn flour mixed with Sophora japonica into rabbits and ducklings, and put them in a steaming steamer in our envious eyes. We lick our saliva and wait for it to swell.
With the efforts of cigarettes, the fragrance of Sophora japonica enters our noses with the curling water vapor, and our saliva clicks even louder. The pot is boiling, and we can't wait for you to take the rabbit away. I want to put the duckling in my mouth. The fragrance of Sophora japonica and the sweetness of corn flour slipped into my stomach along my mouth, and then the boiling heat began to swirl in my stomach, and we began to regret our recklessness. Looking at our painful appearance, grandma laughed and scolded: greedy monkey, who told you to be so impatient. You deserve to burn yourself. Grandma put the prepared garlic juice on the table: it tastes better when dipped in it. Suddenly, our mouths have a little fragrance, a little sweetness and a little spicy taste. This delicious mixture makes us close our eyes.
In that era when there were no snacks and fruits, grandma's dexterous hands made us spend a happy childhood in the fragrant Sophora japonica cake.
A few days ago, I saw cakes selling Sophora japonica in the street. They are really made into the shape of moon cakes, one yuan each, as big as moon cakes. Fried brown on both sides, it tastes fragrant and crisp in the mouth, but the fragrance is oily and lacks the fragrance of Sophora japonica itself.
sweet potato
When I was a child, wheat and corn, especially sweet potatoes, were the most planted at home. In that era when food was not very abundant, sweet potatoes also became our food.
Boil a pot in water. The easiest way is to let us eat sweet potatoes.
I like sweet potato cornmeal cooked in grandma's pot best. Diced sweet potatoes are soaked in golden corn flour. When we drink them in our mouths, the sweet potatoes are soft and delicate. With the fragrance of corn flour, we will open our bellies and drink two bowls.
The sweet and delicious sweet potato in my memory is thin and juicy, that is, it is as crisp and juicy as an apple when eaten raw. I absolutely don't want the present sweet potato. Whether it is steamed, boiled, roasted or fried, it tastes as tasteless as chewing wax.
The sweet potatoes sold in the market now are not only pitifully small, but also cut into pieces and cooked into porridge, which is neither sweet nor sweet. Baked and eaten, it has such a strong fragrance, but it is not sweet in the mouth.
Mazicai
Chinese cabbage, scientifically known as horse lettuce, commonly known as Sun Changsheng, is the most common wild vegetable in farmland. Strong vitality, unplugged and exposed to the sun for a few days, and nourished by a light rain, he will be as light as new.
Cai became a good dish on our table during the flood season. There are three common ways to eat. One is to wash it and blanch it with boiling water, and the other is to stir fry it directly, and then chop it up and steam it into steamed bread.
The production of cold salad is very simple, that is, cut the cooked horse seed dish into pieces, add onion, garlic, salt and vinegar, and finally pour some sesame oil, which is refreshing and delicious in your mouth. Soon, only dripping soup was left for us greedy cats to eat. The aroma of sesame oil and the crispness of sesame paste stimulate our taste buds, and we can't wait to drink all the remaining soup.
Stir-frying is to stir-fry the cooked pockmarked vegetables for a few minutes, and sprinkle some onion and garlic salt out of the pot. To tell the truth, the fried vegetables are not delicious at all, because the conditions at home were not good at that time, and I was reluctant to eat oil, so I only used a little oil to stir-fry a pot of vegetables, and the taste was just boiled vegetables, and I could only taste a little salty.
Although sesame oil is also a luxury, sesame was pure at that time, and the sesame oil made was delicious. If you order a drop of cold salad, the whole room will give off a fragrance. Therefore, we prefer to eat cold mazi dishes, in fact, in order to smell the fragrance in the room.
Chopping Mazi vegetables into small pieces of steamed stuffed buns is also our favorite way to eat, haha, because my mother will scoop a spoonful of meat oil (that is, the oil refined from fat pork) to mix stuffing and vegetables. We greedy kittens gathered around the panel and watched our mother slowly wrap the prepared stuffing into the cooked dough. The stuffing is red and green, which is a little shiny because of the meat oil. It is really beautiful against the white dough.
The steamed stuffed bun is out of the pot, and the smell of meat oil stimulates us to swallow saliva and bite into our mouths. It is called perfume. Looking back on the way we ate in those days, we always felt that we were eating and drinking with pig elbows. That sweetness is deeply buried in my memory.
I went home a few days ago, and I saw the vegetables growing happily in Mazi field. I begged my mother to make some steamed bread and try it. My mother laughed at me: I want to recall that painful experience again. Who will eat this now?
Mother Artemisia steamed a handful of steamed bread. Haha, you can eat delicious food 20 years ago again. I couldn't wait to grab it and taste it, but it didn't taste like that. The cumin is sour and astringent, and the food is full, with a lot of meat, but it tastes bad.
Mother sighed, chemical fertilizer and pesticide. For more than 20 years, the soil in the field has degraded, and she can no longer raise fresh and tender ma3 zi3 vegetables as before.
With the development of science and technology and the progress of economy, with the improvement of living conditions, we are no longer short of food and drink, and our stomachs are full of chickens, ducks and fish. In fact, those childhood delicacies still exist, but we lack the hunger to taste them.
