In the countryside at noon, white-walled black-tiled houses, cracks in doors, tile houses, mixed with a variety of meals of firewood smoke wafting into your mouth and nose, the ear of the tian that does not know which big aunt called out to their own children " ** Boy, come back to the meal!" "You have been playing all morning, by this magical sound, the seductive fragrance, the little belly that is already hungry, feeling the undulating ups and downs under the running, climbing up to the table full of dishes, just waiting for the meal, the two white grandmothers began to open the lid of the cooking pot, a burst of heat rose instantly, and in a few moments, a pair of thick skeletons, hands full of folds, and a black substance stained with firewood in the nail seams, holding a white small-bottomed porcelain bowl wrapped in a rag, gently placed in front of your eyes, A hot scent of egg and tempeh hits you, you stretch your neck and bite your chopsticks... A bowl of gentle yellow steamed eggs has been swirling in your chest now. Just recalling this scene, I was healed and appeased.
In fact, I am not picky about food, two pieces of curd I can also stuff two bowls of rice, not picky eaters are difficult to taste the dishes, the contrast is that the family is very small to open a restaurant, both parents have seen the cooking, but I do not have the slightest edification, just like to describe the taste of wine: "The cellar is fragrant and elegant, mellow and sweet, the aftertaste is refreshing....". I can't appreciate the subtle differences, when asking yourself which dish is your true love, a variety of dishes in your mind, a thousand choices, difficult to give up, but once you think about the cycle of life, at the time of my seven-old and eighty-year-old, that is, the dust will return to dust, the soil will return to the soil, for this world can also do the material and spiritual comfort, an ordinary and ordinary steamed egg is the best choice, it takes care of your teeth are not good, it evokes the warmth of your memory, it has never been far away from you, you are studying outside and returning home, Mother wants to add some nutrition to you, spoon by spoon steamed egg into your bowl, watch you swallow the love of her face, the graduation party, the cups are staggered, you open your teeth and claws, talk loudly, put the cup to part, turn around the circle of the table, and finally maybe choose the steamed egg on the rice hurriedly pull a few bites, arm yourself, continue the next colorful, hurried youth, chase your boy who has just learned to walk, seize the opportunity, even coax and deceive, stuff a mouthful of steamed egg bibimbap, Then he ran away again, and the cycle began, and life overlapped at this moment, and you grew up that way.
Yes, I taste the dish, in fact, taste life, give me a menu, think about the last steamed egg is more than a nostalgia I ordered, I stubbornly think that it is made by the country wood stove to be delicious, because I not only know that the water for steaming eggs is from the underground water source, clear and cold, but also know which chicken is born in the morning or in the afternoon. These are not related to life, more concerned about making this dish is to watch the aunt skillfully flying in the bottles and cans, not anxious, very relaxed, we chatted about the parents in the short, the field of the trivial things, know how the next door aunt after the serious illness of the body, whose son is ready to get married... In this way, the various forms of rural life unfold one by one between the eyebrows, and the care of people and each other is closer to each other, accompanied by this steamed egg, full and full of your heart.
Such a dish, common ingredients, it is also simple and convenient to make, it crosses the north and south of the river, is our collective memory, eat it, we feel stable, we feel steadfast, life is complete, but so.
