Sorghum rice
Text; Wang Deming
Recitation: Amaranth Editor: Purple Smoke
The daughter boiled sorghum rice porridge, after washing the rice, she directly boiled it without adding water, and finally the sorghum rice porridge became sorghum rice. I am familiar with sorghum rice, since childhood.
Now, life is simple, it is all rice cookers to make rice, not paste pots. In the past, it was all firewood and easy to paste.
Sorghum is full of treasures. Rice, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen, stomach, dissipation, astringent stomach, can not only be eaten directly, but also can be made into sugar and wine. Root, can be medicated, asthma, diuresis, hemostasis. The stalk can be juiced and boiled sugar, and we rural people call it "sweet straw". The niacin in sorghum can be absorbed by the human body, and as the old saying goes, it is common to eat sorghum less "leprosy".
When I was a child, my family lived in a sorghum-producing place. It was a time of hunger, as if I had never eaten enough. I don't know why, the wheat is planted a lot, and there is a lot of beating, but we never eat white noodles, and all year round there are always brown rice ballasts, brown rice noodles, sorghum rice, and millet. The family had a large population and a small income, a difficult life, and a whole day of coarse grains were the hallmarks of that era. Either making porridge or fishing for rice, the daily sorghum rice, became our luck to live.
In autumn, go to the sorghum field to cut a few straw trees. The cage is the basic handicraft of the village teenager, and the roller sparrow is a distant landscape. Pick up the bird cage, fly out of the field, and when you come back, there will be some hope in the cage. Grab a few sparrows, strangle and peel them, put them in a lunch box, put some green onions, put some salt, and put them in the stove pit. When it's cooked, eat it with sorghum rice, and you'll have the feeling of being the original soup. Looking back now, we humans can't solve the problem of food and clothing ourselves, and we pin our happiness on the plundering of other populations, making Su Queer our food on the plate, and making us both love and hate the hard days of that era.
After the sorghum is finished, the poles are left behind, the adults make curtains, and the children use them to tie the grasshopper cages. Peel off the skin of the pole, use the pole as a frame, and use the skin of the pole to split into strips and insert it into a grasshopper cage. In the summer, the grasshopper becomes our partner. Catch a grasshopper, put it in the cage, put in some melon flowers or cucumber flowers along with it, it is best to spray some water in the cage, and the grasshopper will call a summer. When eating, accompanied by the sound of grasshoppers, you will feel that the sorghum rice is no longer so difficult and coarse, and it is much easier to swallow.
The countryside, with no parks and no roads, know each other. Therefore, rural love is also full of wildness, and the expression in the sorghum field is the most profound. When hot love happens, you will feel the taste of sorghum rice as soul-destroying as the taste of braised pork.
Eating is the first need of people, and food and clothing are major things.
I've been dealing with coarse grains for as long as I can remember. My mother said that sorghum rice is nutritious, and I was deeply suspicious and helpless. "Potatoes are cooked, add beef" is Soviet communism, Khrushchev bragged everywhere, but beef is always better than sorghum rice should not be doubted. I was waiting for that day, and I was a person with ideals.
In the late autumn of that year, the Gang of Four collapsed.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, especially the reform of the market economic system, our lives have undergone fundamental changes. I don't know when the food supply was cancelled, which makes people feel worried. That year, I went to a foreign country to register a relative and went to the grain bureau to start a grain relationship. The people at the Food Bureau said that there was no food relationship anymore, which made me eat fiercely. Without food, what will we eat in the future?
Only development can meet the needs, not rely on artificial planning. Now, sorghum rice, millet, bud rice ballast, as long as it goes to the market, there is everything. The price shows that people have a psychological bearing, expensive and cheap, depending on the attitude. Thinking about it this way, the taste of sorghum rice is particularly unforgettable.
The other day, I went to the morning market and saw a stall selling coarse grains. The stall owner shouted in his throat: "Sorghum rice, five yuan a pound." Cheaper. "His sorghum rice, nice. I grabbed one with my hand and looked at it. Casually said, "Not bad." "Good fellow, this dude saw me looking at his sorghum rice, and he spoke to heaven about the benefits of his sorghum rice.
I said, "Come two pounds." "I can't buy it anymore, so I bought a few pounds."
Go home and make sorghum rice to eat. I recalled going to a neighbor's house to eat pig-killing vegetables when I was a child, sorghum rice, accompanied by pig-killing vegetables and sauerkraut soup, which was very beautiful. I recall how delicious the sorghum rice my mother made was, without oil, stewed beans and potatoes with red sorghum rice soup, delicious in the world.
Wash the sorghum rice and remove from the pan. When the rice is eight ripe, scoop the rice into the basin. Put a fork in the pot, put the rice bowl on the fork and steam over high heat. According to memory, I bought some sauerkraut and meat, and did not deviate from my mother's practice.
Touching the scene, I remembered my childhood.
On the sorghum rice, there is endless nostalgia.
