In fact, if you think about it, everything you are doing now is for memory. It is used to warmly and long years, accompanying the ups and downs of the sun and the moon, so that the tired body and mind can be comforted and stretched.
Last year's events are memories for this year. Yesterday's events are memories of today's memories. Today's events are memories for tomorrow. In the past, there was happiness, warmth, sweetness, bitterness, regret, regret, shining brilliance, and grayness that I didn't want to think about again. Many things in the world are relative, there is a bright and beautiful side, there will be a cold and gray side, the two complement each other, complement each other.
Therefore, everyone, for what they are doing, must be serious and down-to-earth and do a good job, in order to be worthy of the future time, in order to warm the long years. Even if the ability and level are not perfect, as long as you do your best, it is enough to comfort the smooth time and add a touch of excitement and memories to the romantic time.
In the hometown of Henan, in the summer, basically everyone has to make sweet potato cold powder, raw mung bean sprouts, and boil mung bean soup. Because in the summer, the refreshing and delicious sweet potato cold powder and the white and tender mung bean sprouts are all good things to cool off the heat.
The raw materials of sweet potato cold powder are left over from the previous year or before. In the late autumn, sweet potatoes come down, and in addition to storing some, some people will set up machines and grind flour. That is, starch. There are also people who make some vermicelli and powder skins. As long as there is a family to support the stall, after the family is done, there may be neighbors in the village to take advantage of the situation to do some, and finally leave the slag, plus a little money, is considered a reward. Sweet potato dregs, which can be fed to livestock and poultry. In this way, as long as a stall is set up, it will last for at least more than a month before it can be cleaned up.
At that time, we were young and couldn't help much, but when we laid down the noodles, we could gather around the side of the cauldron and pick up some uneven noodles. Chubby, we call him "Fat Pig Baby" and it was delicious. At that time, we even hoped that the adults would get more "fat pig babies" out. Later, I learned that the "fat pig baby" was actually caused by the master's unsophisticated craftsmanship, inappropriate water temperature, and inadequate control of the technique. It's a failure.
Later, there were foreigners who specially pulled the machine to the village to grind flour and make vermicelli noodles. But for many years, their shadow could not be seen in the countryside. Therefore, sweet potato grinding powder and making noodle powder skin are very strange to today's children.
The red cold powder made by the mother is appropriate for each link time operation, and the good cold powder has a flexible taste. Cut the prepared cold powder into strips or chunks, smash some garlic paste, and mix it with vinegar, which is very refreshing to eat.
Raw mung bean sprouts, to use a clay pot about ten centimeters deep, put in the right amount of mung beans, chisel a small eye on the bottom edge of the clay pot, and then insert a small section of sorghum spike as a diversion, cover the mouth to cover the light. Water two to three times a day with water, let the water slowly drain down the water inlet, pour to the third time, the mung beans will begin to swell, three to four days, the white fat mung bean sprouts can be eaten.
Now basically no one makes sweet potato cold powder raw mung bean sprouts anymore. In the market, everything is readily available, so there is no fun and enjoyment of that process at all.
Some people will also think that these things may be like this in the first place.
