My father had been in bed for nearly two years, and he had never eaten his father's handy dish fried potatoes again.
My father was a person who personally experienced the Zhumadian flood in 75 years, and in my memory, whenever the bad weather of heavy rain and snow was predicted, my father always prepared all kinds of food and vegetables early, which was the sequelae of experiencing major disasters.
My father was not a man of expression, but whenever our sisters came home, my father had already prepared our favorite pig's trotter salted duck egg small twist flower.
Which family's pig's trotters are deliciously marinated, the salted duck eggs are oily and sandy, and the small twist flowers are crisp and crispy, and the father is like a family treasure.
Our favorite food is still the cumin potatoes made by our father.
