Spring is so nice, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, we can taste the natural food of the field with the smell of sunshine, and we can also enjoy the pleasure of picking and cooking.
In the spring blossom season, the overwintering cabbage in the field is pregnant and flowering while returning to green, growing as fast as the speed of aging, so digging cabbage must seize the opportunity, the cabbage blooms in less than half a month from the growth, then the vegetables become old and hard, not delicious. If the spring does not catch up, there is still a season of tender vegetables with a slightly longer growth period in the autumn, and there are still opportunities to dig in that year.
Cabbage is usually grown in pieces, green with red jagged leaves, lying on the ground, in the field of barren corn fields, woods, ditches and ridges, you may find a vegetable, around this one, you can find a piece, if there are lodging large plants around, warm shade, the cabbage usually grows large, tender, and bright.
When digging for cabbage, you may also be able to dig up a small piece of old dove gold, which is a dwarf plant with a very low water content, red stems, and feather-like leaves that are green and gray. At this time, bitter herbs, koji, dandelions, will also compete to drill out of the surface full of moisture, rush to open the new green leaves, swaying in the wind, embracing the sweet dreams of the spring wind.
The sweet fragrance in the air is that the snow white pear blossoms bloom, the pink begonias bloom, the apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, magnolias, pearl plums, tulips... We all scrambled to build dreams in the spring breeze, and our appetites were also greatly opened.
After the successful digging of the cabbage, picking, washing, boiling water blanched, it becomes all over the body turquoise, steamed buns, dumplings, steamed dumplings, dumplings can be, blanched a little bigger can be mixed to eat, that unique green xu taste, pregnant with too much sunshine and the essence of the dew, the vegetable greenhouse is not planted. If there is any leftover, the blanched cabbage can be made into a large ball, frozen in the refrigerator, and eaten as you like, the taste will never change.
Old dove gold because there is no water, after digging back, put at room temperature for a long time, will not change color or rot, old dove gold is usually used to beat the paste, this dish is very good to pick, wash and then finely chopped, mixed with salt, put some bean noodles, and then put some cornmeal, beat an egg, drizzle a little water, semi-dry and not wet into the slightly hot cake bell, hand dipped in some water, all pressed hard, to about a centimeter thick look, after a few minutes of lid can be a pot.
The taste is slightly salty, the taste is crisp and fragrant, and then accompanied by a bowl of millet red date porridge, a small plate of ham and dried beans, that is really: this taste should only be in heaven, how many times in the world to taste?! This bite is very hungry, eat in the morning, even if the workload is very large in the morning, you will not grumble at noon.
Bitter herbs, koji vegetables, dandelions are usually sauce or cold mix, noodle sauce or bean paste and some sesame juice, can offset some of the bitter taste of bitter herbs and koji; if you eat cold, these dishes are best crushed by hand, rather than cut with a knife, and then drizzled with the sauce made of sesame sauce, garlic paste, sugar, salt, vinegar mixed with the juice, that is, mixed and eaten. The book says that these wild vegetables have the effect of clearing heat and removing fire and enhancing immunity.
Dandelions can also be lightly blanched and eaten as fillings, but because they can't dig up a lot, plus their taste is sweet, they are eaten raw. Listening to friends, the root of dandelion is into Chinese medicine, called Gongying, the detoxification effect of Gongying root is very good, but we usually just dig up the leaves on it with a small root to eat.
Most of the dandelions in spring are covered with yellow flower buds, which can't help but remind people of the very melodious song in "Bashan Night Rain", "I am a dandelion seed, no one knows my happiness and sadness, my parents gave me a small umbrella, let me float in the vast world, fluttering, small umbrella with me to fly, fly, fly ..."
