Chaoshan specialty food grass kway teow

Editor: It's the height of summer, and it's hot (although Chaoshan is eaten hot) and a hot topic. Looking at the childlike and childlike story, I seem to return to the little boy who followed the knocking sound of selling grass and carried a small aluminum box to buy grass.

I believe that people in the Chaoshan area do not know what grass is, it is a jelly-like, brownish and blackened, somewhat similar to the current roasted immortal grass food, very cheap, two cents can buy a bowl, a dollar the whole family can eat together. Sprinkled with a thin layer of white sugar, in addition to a hint of sweetness, the other feeling is so smooth and slippery, because one bite can swallow the whole bowl of grass kway.

When I was a child, I was really impressed by the grass, because at that time, my family was very poor, and my heart wanted to eat snacks, but there was no way, my family was not rich. My father would still hurt our children more, and the three children in our family would pestered my father to buy a dollar of grass, as long as the vendor who bought the grass came.

Maybe it's because the young people in the village are going out to work hard, or the reason why my family lives in the first household in the alley, whenever the uncle who bought the grass is stepping on his old and rusty Phoenix bicycle through our village, he will shout a big "grass grits~", every time I hear this sound, I remember that the gluttonous sister will directly say to my father, "Dad, the grass is coming, give me a dollar, hurry up, he is leaving!" Dad said very calmly, "What's the hurry, take your time, he just came over, and he still has to go to the end of the alley to shout and sell!" "In fact, I was also very anxious, there were many times before, I just heard the shouting of the uncle who sold the grass, and then when I was looking for my slow father to buy money, I went to find the uncle who sold the grass, his people and the car were gone, I took my younger brother and sister to run out with my big iron basin fart in my house, and then I couldn't even see the shadow of the uncle." Our unhappy expression hung on our faces, and when we got home, we told our mother that our mother would laugh at us and say, "How are you so stupid, you are short feet and don't wait at the door to stop him, people are still riding bicycles, waiting for you to go to people's homes and leave early!" Next time the three of you find one to crouch in the doorway and stop him. "A child of a few years old, who only remembered the very reasonable words at the time, forgot this reasonable thing after a while. Whether I remember it or not, every time I pestered my father to give money to buy grass, he was always very "generous". The reason why I say this is because my father thinks that grass is a relatively clean and hygienic food. When I was a child, I didn't have other cheap snacks, all for a dime, but it was not hygienic. I remember the snacks at that time were green and green, the color was very hungry for us children, I wanted to buy it to eat, sometimes I had the luxury of dragging a very old dime in my pocket, I wanted to try the little snacks that I had coveted for a long time, who knows, as soon as I ate my stomach, I made a fuss, and at that time, my father and mother were scared, and since then, they have never let our three cubs drag a dime of "luxury" in their pockets. So the only thing left is to wrap around the grass that my father bought, so the grass is our cheap and hygienic snack.

Now that I have grown up, I can eat a lot of things outside, exquisite cakes, desserts and everything, including ice cream to help cool off in the hot summer, but the only thing I can't forget is the warm bowl of ordinary grass grits from my childhood.

Grass kway teow has a cooling effect in the hot summer. Although its production method is very simple, that is, ordinary herbs to boil into a jelly shape, but in the hot summer to eat a bowl of warm grass kun, the dry heat in the heart and the dry heat on the body seem to be alleviated a lot.
