My hometown is surrounded by mountains and sea. It not only has beautiful scenery, but also is rich in products.

After a few spring rains, pointed heads appear in the lush bamboo forests in the fields and green mountains. These are bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots at this time are tender and cheap, and are a home-cooked dish on every household's table. There are various flavors of bamboo shoots floating in the sky over my hometown: roasted bamboo shoots with meat are fat but not greasy; braised bamboo shoots with oil are tender and fresh; and grilled bamboo shoots with pickles are very refreshing. The endless bamboo shoots are also made into various delicacies, either canned, dried, or lamb tail bamboo shoots covered in salt. In the hot summer, when people have no appetite, they take out a few sheep tail bamboo shoots and soak them in warm water several times until the saltiness is gone. Tear them into shreds, add sugar, MSG, and sesame oil to make a particularly refreshing dish. It makes people have an appetite all of a sudden.

In July and August, the peaches all over the mountains and plains are ripe, and the fragrance is like clouds and mist, surrounding every house. On a scorching summer day, eating a peach will make your whole body full of strength. Look! The toothless old woman only picked out the ripe peaches to eat, and when she pulled up the skin, all of it was peeled off. As the old lady sucked, the juice kept dripping down her hand. Looking at her sweet smile, it must be so sweet to my heart. Young people like to eat hard peaches. When you take a bite, they are crispy, fragrant and refreshing!

In autumn, the clouds are clear and the sun is bright, and the taro heads in the fields are ripe. It has long hair and is very black, but when you pluck out the long hair, wash it clean, and cook it, it becomes delicious. Braised pork ribs with taro seeds is a dish that is stewed slowly over low heat. When it is cooked, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onion, and the aroma is fragrant. Take a sip of the soup, it’s so delicious! Taro seeds taste waxy, soft, slippery, and extremely delicious. No wonder the saying goes that if you have traveled through three passes and six docks, you have eaten Fenghua taro seeds.

The delicacies in my hometown are more than these. I can’t finish writing or talking about them. When the familiar taste comes to our tongues from time to time, we know that home is always there.
