When I was a child, at my grandmother's house, I fished for noodles in garlic water at noon, which was not delicious or poor. Almost noon, Grandma twisted the little feet that had been wrapped around the vegetable field to skim the two people's vegetables, came back to wash them clean and dry, and then boiled the noodles, when the noodles hit the water for the second time, put in the human tobacco vegetables, and then opened the pot to quickly fish out the noodles and put them in the cool well water to soak them and then fish them into a large bowl, the human tobacco dishes cannot be cooked for a long time, there will be an astringent smell.

When my grandmother was cooking, I smashed garlic water outside the stove fire, red bell peppers, white raw garlic cloves, yellow ginger, sometimes added a little green wispy herbs leaves, a brain into the stone mortar, one hand in a semicircle on the top of the mortar, the other hand holding the stone smashing hard, soon completed, add a small drop of sesame oil, scoop a spoonful poured on the noodles, and then put some old vinegar, cool sour spicy spicy incense bowl into the stomach.

As soon as I lost my rice bowl, I wanted to go outside and play crazy, and my grandmother pulled on the elastic band of my big pants and said: Hurry up and drink the bowl of noodle soup and then go out to play, the original soup turns into original food, don't stop. The noodle soup was dyed red by human vegetables, and it looked pleasing to the eye, but it was often a little astringent and difficult to swallow, taking advantage of the grandmother's kung fu to turn around, and casually spilled it at the root of the wall.

It seems that the rural people's tobacco dishes were all red at that time, anyway, I remember that the summer noodle soup was red and colorful, and when I grew up, I learned that there were green human tobacco dishes, which was not good or festive. However, even the festive dish is also annoying, Grandma tried to collapse the vegetable box, cut the human vegetables into pieces and beat an egg, the small fire slowly burned the large iron pot, and after a while a two-sided browned vegetable box was spread out, take a garlic clove while hot and eat quickly, it is really comfortable, that is, Grandma's speed is too slow, can not keep up with the rhythm of my brother and my brother Lao Maozi's mouth open.

Later, my grandfather and grandmother died, and I basically stopped eating garlic water fishing noodles soaked in well water, and my stomach and intestines had been eroded by the years and I did not dare to eat cold food. We are also from the city, we always have to eat a tomato egg noodles bean carob meat noodles don't you? But I still like to eat human vegetables, and I go to the market to buy the red one.

When I was a child, I asked my grandmother why the noodle soup was red, and she couldn't say why, today I want to tell her, because human vegetables contain a trace element, iron! And the original soup is right, I am now used to drinking noodle soup.
