Suddenly, spring came, and the warm green covered the entire Huiyuan like a tide. Standing on Huizhong Avenue, the warm spring sun touches my cheeks gently through the gaps in the sycamore leaves. The lawn next to me has just been mowed, and my nose is filled with the fresh and rich smell of grass. In this bright spring light, I turned around and looked to the southwest of Beijing. I wanted to know, is my hometown already beautiful and charming in spring? I want to know if the spring air in my hometown is still wrapped in the unforgettable taste of my hometown’s food. Take a gentle breath and it will feel like a whole spring is blooming on the tip of your tongue.
Shi Tiesheng once said: "Taste is difficult to remember, only if you smell it again can you remember its full emotion and meaning."Many times, it is the faint "fragrance" of the old story that makes all the memories of my growth come to my heart instantly.
My hometown is in Henan Province. Because Henan is located in the Central Plains region, Henan cuisine also has the connotation of the traditional culture of the Central Plains. It has a long history, a middle-range taste, and the strengths of other cuisines, with both northern and southern characteristics. Naturally, there are countless famous dishes that make people praise and savor them for a long time. But what I will never forget the most are the two home-cooked snacks that are always with me.
During the winter vacation that just passed, I took the train home with my classmates. After the train arrived in Henan Province, a familiar smell in the air suddenly came to me. I shouted to my companions with an unimaginable excitement tone: "Have you smelled the spicy spicy soup?" The classmate nodded vigorously to me in agreement. The old "fragrance" of my hometown comes to my face with all the memories of the quiet town in my hometown. At that moment, nostalgia lingered and excitement overflowed.
Hu spicy soup is one of the most common breakfasts in our local area. It is spicy and delicious, and it is endless aftertaste. The more representative ones include Xiaoyao Town Hu Spicy Soup and Beiwudu Town Hu Spicy Soup. A bowl of spicy soup with a plate of xiaolongbao or pan-fried buns is a classic pairing. Especially in the early morning of winter, after a bowl of spicy soup, thin beads of sweat will appear on your forehead, your body will be warmed up, and your appetite will be whetted. Although the breakfast is simple, it fills up the belly and whets the appetite, ushering in a good mood for the whole day. This kind of delicacy, although the color of the soup is dignified and the appearance is not good, it is30The soup is made of several Chinese herbal medicines plus stewed meat, pepper, chili, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, etc. The soup is full of flavor. Therefore, the method of making this famous snack is a little cumbersome. First, mix the dough with light salt water, knead it into a dough, and then add water continuously“Wash”Gluten. After the water is boiled, the gluten is cooked. After the gluten is cooked, pour the gluten-washing water, that is, the thin starch paste, into the pot. Bring to a boil over low heat until the soup becomes thick. Then add other ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. After taking it out of the pot, add sesame oil, vinegar and other seasonings. Just the smell will make people salivate.
If you think about it carefully, this bowl of soup is just like the small town in my hometown. Although it looks inconspicuous and a little ordinary, you can appreciate its unique charm that is irresistible after just one taste. Peaceful and calm, yet uniquely charming. This is the old "fragrance" of my hometown, this is the taste of the city.
The second snack is the famous Henan braised noodles. Speaking of this famous dish, I once heard an interesting story related to it. According to legend, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was in trouble due to a cold on a snowy day in the middle of winter before he ascended the throne. A kind old woman cooked for him to save him. After the old woman slaughtered the livestock and stewed the soup, due to the emergency, she could only pull the dough and put it directly into the soup pot, cook it and serve it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was sweating all over his body after eating, and felt warm and refreshed. He felt energetic and recovered from his cold illness. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, this braised noodle dish was modified several times by the imperial cooks and doctors, and it became a famous meal in the palace and has enjoyed everlasting popularity.
To me, although this little legend is interesting, it is far less than the deep emotion contained in the braised noodles. As we all know, Henan Province has a large population, so students naturally face tremendous pressure when entering higher education. When I was in middle w88 casino, my mother put a lot of effort into studying cooking and racked her brains to supplement my nutrition in order to assist my studies. On countless weekends, the water for cooking noodles was boiling in the pot, and the steam was steaming in the kitchen. My mother held both ends of the dough with both hands, pulled the noodles into thin strips and put them in the pot. The stewed noodles made by my mother have a rich aroma, and the milky white soup is filled with high hopes and expectations. Fragments of sunlight poured down from the sky, blurring my vision. "Whoever says that the heart of an inch of grass will reap three rays of spring light." The spring scenery is gorgeous, and I can only move forward more firmly thinking of this strong fragrance.
This bowl of braised noodles is the taste of mother's love. It has a mellow aroma, deep and broad flavor, and is my eternal source of strength. This is the old "fragrance" of my hometown, this is the taste of home.
My hometown also has a boulevard full of sycamore trees. There must be a gentle spring breeze and mottled light and shadow. I wonder if they still remember the little girl who picked up their fallen leaves under the tree when she was young. Do they know that she is looking back in the northeast of the motherland, thinking of the old "fragrance" of her hometown...
