Now in the New Year, people no longer have to be as busy as in the past, and at the same time, there is less of a red-hot atmosphere. Back when I was a child, as soon as I entered the Waxing Moon, people entered the busy year, also known as the Busy Waxing Moon. At that time, I most liked to watch my father eat and drink for the New Year, especially the distillation enema.
Almost every family does enemas in the waxing moon, and does a lot of them. Because this enema is not only eaten at home, but also given away. Jinyuan is located in the suburbs of the provincial capital, and many people have relatives working in the city, and relatives in the city also like to eat enemas from their hometowns. The enema in the hometown is made of pure soba noodles, the New Year is done more, just by relying on the small pot and small stove at home to do it is too slow, so people will unite four or five, choose a large yard, build a stove in the courtyard, borrow a large pot, a large cage drawer, a pot steaming three or four drawers, basically to meet the amount of a family.
My house is in uncle Leng's yard not far from home. Leng Houbo is his father's brother, warm and generous. In addition to the three brothers in his family, there are six other families and my family. Outside, in the cold winter moon, ice and snow, but when the enema is distilled, it is steaming; some add charcoal to the fire; some carry water to the pot; and some put the enema that has just come out of the cage and pour it out. When Ling Houbo saw his father coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Third brother, hurry up and make noodles, this pot will come down for your family to distill." Then he brought a bowl of oil residue and handed it to my father. This oil residue is a good thing, and the enema should be accompanied by its special fragrance. Father first made the noodles very hard, and then added seasoning water to dilute. Until the batter is scooped up with a spoon and turned into a line, it is reconciled. In addition to peppercorns and large noodles, there is also pig blood. It is said that the enema made after adding pig blood is not only red and beautiful, but also special tendons, long fried, long simmered. After the noodles are reconciled, use a spoon to scoop into a special dish and you can basket and distill, and after about half an hour of steam, the enema is distilled. Wait until the enema is cooled and put away to see, there are more than half of the basket, this new month whether it is to entertain guests, send relatives, or eat themselves.
Regarding the way to eat enemas, eating at home is not the same as eating at the market. The mainstream way to eat enemas in the market is to stir-fry them with lard and bean sprouts, while at home they are mainly braised. It is to put the stewed pork in a hot pot and then pour the enema into the stew, without adding other dishes, in jinyuan's native language called "dry", which is convenient and delicious. When there are guests in the home, it is a dish that can be fried or stewed, and it is even found in hot pot and stew. When there are no guests in the house, it is a staple food. If you don't want to cook in the morning and night, scoop up a spoonful of meat and stew the enema, and drink a bowl of porridge, it's beautiful!
When I was a child, I heard adults tell a joke about fried enemas. In the first month of the year, Taiyuan County rushed to the meeting, and a stutterer came to the stall. The boss asked, "Do you want to eat?" Just listen: "Eat..." The boss scooped lard into the frying pan and poured an enema. The stutterer was still saying, "Eat..." The boss said, don't worry, it will be fine right away. While putting the seasoning, while stir-frying, a few times, the fried enema came out of the pot, the boss put the fried enema on the small table and said: "Eat wow! Then the boss heard, "... Great! "The owner was mad. Is there really a thing? No one to examine, people talk about it is also amusing. (Xiaogen) Source: Shanxi Evening News
