Leeks bloom, small white flowers, squeezed together to form a small umbrella. Looking at the past, it looks fresh and elegant.

The leeks in the garden have been cut three stubbles, and at the beginning of autumn, they have flowered.

Flowering leeks mean that they are old, and when they are old, they can no longer eat.

Li Yu wrote in the section "Onion, Garlic and Leek" in "The Occasional Record of Idle Love":

"The leek is forbidden to the end but not to be the beginning, the beginning of the bud, not particularly smelly, and has a clear fragrance, which is the unchanged heart of its child."

The first stubble of leeks is harvested in early spring and February, when the leeks are the most tender and fragrant. Li Yu believes that "the heart of a child has not changed.". The child's heart is our original heart, which has not been contaminated with any filth, and its taste is naturally original, refreshing and refreshing.

As the saying goes: "June leek, stinky dead dog." "The older the leeks grow, the more they rot after the heat induces them to rot, the taste can stink the dog to death." Although the words are more exaggerated, the leeks are old and the taste is not so good.

Old leeks, I once thought it was old, useless. Recently, reading Wang Zengqi's text, it is both beautiful and sassy. The text is concise and aesthetically pleasing, and it is still interesting to read. Among them, there is an article "Leek Flower", which mentions the five generations of Yang Ning's "Leek Flower Sticker":

"Sleeping during the day, hunger is very bad, and the monks are blinded, and they give dishes." When a leaf announces the beginning of autumn, it is the beginning of the leek flower. Helping him to be fat is really a shame. After filling the abdomen, the muscle is incised. ”

Leek flowers can be eaten! I didn't know that my parents never cooked us any dishes with leek flowers. Only when it is old, it will blossom with it.

Leeks bloom, I recognize. A bone blossomed on the long stalk, and before long, the thin skin of the outer layer of the bone was broken, revealing a small white flower, squeezed and squeezed into the shape of a small umbrella. Looking at the past, it looks fresh and elegant.

The "Leek Sticker" mentions "helping it to be fattened" refers to the leek flowers eaten with lamb. I don't know how this leek flower is made, stir-fried or pickled? Now Beijing eats shabu lamb, leek sauce is an indispensable seasoning.

Pick the leek flowers, wash, chop, stir with salt, place in a crisper box, refrigerate for a week, and the taste will soak in. Wang Zengqi mentioned that "leeks are treated together with sand fruits and Beijing white pears as broken jaws", and its taste is even more delicious.

The southern leek sauce is different from the northern one. Qujing leek flowers are made of leek flowers and extremely finely cut, air-dried silk, mixed with chili peppers. Leeks only make a little weight in it, only because of their outstanding floral taste, so they are called leek flowers.

In the unit canteen, I ate fried pork with leeks. It is said that it is a leek flower, but it is actually the stem stem of the leek flower, and it is also a leek white. Yuan Ming's "Suiyuan Food List" says that leeks are meat, "it is better to take leeks white and stir-fry them with shrimp and rice." Or with shrimp, clams, meat. ”

Leek white cut into inches, add shredded meat together to fry, the stem is relatively hard, after stir-frying will not be soft collapse, mixed with the aroma of meat, the fragrance is abnormal.

There are also cold leeks and pepper shreds, which are also quite under the rice. In the northern region, steamed buns or cakes, accompanied by a small dish like this, can meet the needs of the stomach in minutes.

Writing this, the hungry worm in the stomach is already eager to try, and from time to time it comes out to provoke it. No matter what, I thought that when the leeks in this garden were flourishing, I would make a plate of leek sauce to taste. (Jusa Shasha)
