There is a bag of shrimp stored in the refrigerator, I have not known what to fry with better taste, the impression of the next restaurant, occasionally order a shrimp are fried with peas, peas with shrimp, red is red, green is green, embellished beautifully, eat also refreshing.
One day I told you to buy some peas fried shrimp, but you said that you don't like to eat peas, the bag of shrimp has been lying in the refrigerator, coupled with her busy before leaving, I was also busy at work, and in the blink of an eye, when she got up to go to a foreign country, a plate of shrimp was still not fried.
That day went to the vegetable market next to the school to buy vegetables, saw the fava beans big and fresh, two pieces of five one pounds, ten yuan to buy a large bag, peeled the fava bean rice, remembered the package of shrimp in the refrigerator, by the way peeled a little silkworm watercress, fava bean watercress fried shrimp, fava bean watercress first fried with oil, tender and crisp, and then added shrimp, tender and slippery, plated later sent a circle of friends, you gave me a comment, look at it is delicious, I actually did not do it at home for me to eat.
It can be seen that most of the time I am the incompetent mother, there are also times when love is bursting, and there are more lazy and slack, so I miss a plate of dishes and miss a time to show love to my daughter.
Even if I don't show her love, every Year on Mother's Day, her love will still come as promised. No, even if it is separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, flowers are booked early and delivered early in the morning. I know that today's carnation will be many times more expensive than usual, but people say, don't ask the price, you are happy.

Broad beans are probably the earliest snack I can remember. When I was six years old, my family underwent another devolution, from the town up and down to the village about a kilometer or so away from the town, and the clearest memory of my life began at that time.
Just settled home, everything in the house needs to be relocated. My grandmother took my sister, who was a year younger than me, to my grandfather's place, and I was left alone in the family, following my parents who were doing farm work every day, drying themselves outside every day, and drying myself into a black mud egg. It was also at that time that I clumsily learned farm work with my mother and learned all the plants in the countryside.
I was most impressed by broad beans.
The townspeople hardly planted broad beans in a large area, and they couldn't even eat enough to eat in that year, so where was there a place for broad beans? However, broad beans are planted all over the place, and they all grow on the edge of the field, the wheat field, the self-reserved land, the ditch along the edge, the edge of the field... They can be seen everywhere, a look of being forgotten in a remote corner, but still leisurely and self-reliant. That's when I followed my mother behind me to learn to grow broad beans. My mother dug down a large shovel, and a thin gap was exposed on the ground, and I threw two or three flat fava bean seeds in that gap, and watched my mother use a shovel to pat the soil above the gap, and I followed it with a small foot to step on it, cover the fava bean grain, and then I no longer had to care about it, no fertilization, no watering, let it grow, and look forward to the harvest.
The unattended broad beans seemed to stand proudly everywhere in the blink of an eye. At the end of March and the beginning of April, the broad bean blossoms are dark black in the middle, but the edges of the petals are light purple, and the color is lighter the further you go to the edges. The flowers are shaped like dancing butterflies.
In May, the broad beans grew up, one by one bulging, and people couldn't help but wonder how they could grow like that, if they had never been fertilized or watered. Where did they absorb the essence of the Heavens, Earth, Sun and Moon?
Finally, when the fava beans are ripe, the fava beans planted by the production team are divided according to the head. Broad beans are a hammer, and each point can be divided into a basket. Her mother was one of the few women in the village who had read a book at her age, and even if she was destitute in that era, she did not forget to create a little life atmosphere. Every time I peeled the broad beans, other people's families fried and boiled to eat, my mother always forgot to take the needle and thread to string me a long string, like a huge jade necklace. Skewer it and throw it on the rice nest and steam it. Before eating, I picked the necklace out of the top of the meal, removed the sticky rice on it, handed it to me, I hung it around my neck, and when it was long, I could circle my neck several times, first beautiful, and then, all afternoon, this is my best snack. If you want to eat it, you will drag one, throw it into your mouth, and slowly touch it, and see the envious eyes of other children.
From this point of view, my mother is much better than me, and she creates a surprise of life under extremely limited conditions, and makes the otherwise boring life blossom.

The youth that belongs to fava beans is actually very short. Watching it mature, it grew old in a few days. Tender fava beans have the beauty of tender fava beans, and old fava beans also have their own aftertaste.
In the past, the Old Age was three things, broad beans peanuts and sunflower seeds, my hometown did not produce peanuts, sunflowers were also planted when they were not planted, and when they were too poor to open the pot, there were still fava beans during the New Year. Old broad beans are fried in a pot until they change color slightly, green and yellow, which is the best snack for the New Year. Peeling off the crisp shell on the outside, the beans inside are more brittle, and when you bite down, a broad bean is crushed in the mouth, and you will feel that the mouth is fragrant and the aftertaste is endless. Until all the fragments become powder in the mouth, and finally swallowed with saliva, and then pinched the next one...
When I grew up, I ate the crispy orchid beans that were fried all over the street, although crispy, but there were too many additives to eat the original taste of broad beans. I have also eaten the spiced beans of the Shanghai City God Temple, and I feel that it is too plated and the milk flavor is too heavy. The fava beans, which have no original taste, are chewy. Unfortunately, my family's genetic teeth are not good, I have not eaten such a crispy hard broad bean for many years, and it is a pity that my favorite snack when I was young can no longer be eaten as a snack. However, nowadays, take advantage of the fresh broad beans on the market, buy some back, or boiled in water, or fried in green onion oil, or peeled into watercress fried amaranth, or a snow vegetable watercress soup is also good, a bite down, eyebrows are fresh.

The season that belongs to the fava beans is about to pass, but it is said that when the fava beans are tender, peel some and put them in the refrigerator, refrigerate, as long as the method is appropriate, when the fava bean season is over, then take it out, which is not much different from fresh fava beans.
I decided to take advantage of these few days to change my laziness and peel a little broad beans to save. When you come back, make up a plate of silkworm watercress fried shrimp.
This text has been in my head for a long time, and I finally knocked it out on Mother's Day today. This also proves my laziness once again.
Here, I wish all the mothers and children of the world peace and happiness! Celebrate every day as Mother's Day.
