You said you know how to make fried rice?

Lu Yaodong said that egg fried rice was invented by Mr. Yang Su – the mathematician who raised the Red Foo Woman, ran away at night to follow Li Jing, and rode an elephant in Wang Xiaobo’s novels – and was then called broken gold rice. Mr. Yang has a high position, literary and martial arts skills, poetry style like Cao Cao, food also has experience.

In some places, fried rice with eggs is called muxu rice, and according to the word, it should be muxu rice. Muxu person osmanthus, old Beijing eunuchs, gas someone laughing at people without, most hate people say the two words egg. So, rice with eggs, are taboo to say is osmanthus. For example, the famous “osmanthus skin fry”, in fact, is the pig skin poured egg to fry.

Tang Lusun said, he used to hire his own cook, first take the chicken soup to test the cook’s fire, and then take the green pepper fried shredded pork to test the cook’s martial arts dishes. The last bowl of fried rice with eggs is to test whether people are big-handed chefs. To fry the egg fried rice to ping pong do sound, scallions burnt, rice grains to be crisp loose not greasy.
He also said, fried rice to get scattered fried, eggs should be scrambled separately, not gold wrapped silver. Because the rice is covered with eggs, people with weak stomachs do not digest well – I do not agree with this.

It’s easier to control the fire by frying the egg and rice separately, but it’s not even. When you eat with a spoon, one spoonful of rice and one piece of egg, it’s like eating the product of fried rice + scrambled eggs mixed with oil. The good thing about fried rice with egg, oil and scallions. Eggs so all-powerful, add oil on the aroma, add salt on the salty, add some green onion stir-fry, the flavor will come out, but also deliberately separate from the rice, as if married still have to keep the ritual of sleeping in separate beds, what a pity.

When I first lived on my own, I was not familiar with any dishes and ate fried rice with eggs day after day. Buy sausage, eggs, green beans, green peppers, beans and carrots. Put the oil in the pan once, put the peppers down, fry them a bit, fish them away; break five eggs into the pepper oil and watch them blister; put the oil down again, put the cold rice down, take a spatula and cut the rice – because it was cold rice overnight, it was all knotted up and had to be cut – and let The egg rolls are wrapped in oil, and then the oil is added and the chopped sausage and carrots, plus green beans and peppers, are poured down. When the eggs ping pong scrambled to a thick yellow aroma, it seems to be burnt black, cease the pan. I served a big pot of fried rice and ate it all in an hour. Mouth is full of oil, burp have egg flavor.

Gu Long wrote Tang Yu after killing people, fried a large pot of rice to eat. A pot of rice he used half a catty of lard, ten eggs. Look very greasy, but it is estimated to be very tasty. Gu Long also wrote that an old mother scolded the children: “There are oil biscuits and cakes to eat is not satisfied, want to eat oil pancakes, wait for the dead old man to get rich!” Two children cried and said, “If I get rich, I won’t eat pancakes, I want to eat fried rice!”

Gu Long must have liked the egg fried rice.

Leek cake

I dawdled in front of the shredded turnip cake, leek cake, cabbage cake, shredded potato cake and egg cake, looking at which one was beautiful. When the master saw me staring for a while, he said, “Let’s eat the leek cake.
I said: Oh.
He then said: aphrodisiac! I was stumped for a moment and took the time to chew the words to understand them before this reaction: ah?

Suzhou people are fine, before the material is not rich, but still do not forget to talk about, every year to eat the first knife leek, just like the Japanese used to eat the first bonito. Because leek is said to be among the five pungent, and onion and garlic, like eating bad breath. Our old people here say, eat leeks to chant Buddha, Buddha to be angry. If it is a new leek, it is very clean, as if the demon wants to eat the boy and girl. Du Fu called “the night rain cut spring leek”. I prefer to eat old leeks. When leeks are old, they are chewy and have a strong, fresh taste. Large leek leaves are very enjoyable.

The leek pancakes are delicious because the leeks are especially fresh and juicy. The leek cake chef here is a northerner, the cake is cooked to strength, charred and soft; open a mouth, the leek juice and soup dumplings like out, green, mellow thick hot fresh. The leeks are full of juice and chewy, but not greasy, and with the pastry to bite, and pop and fragrant. My mother ate leek cake, can chew out the “goo goo goo” sound.

I don’t know what scientific basis there is for leeks to be an aphrodisiac, but folk seem to believe in it. There’s a dirty story in “The Laughing Forest”: a man believed that eating leeks could aphrodisiac, so he ate them and said to his wife, “I ate this and it’s like an iron bar! The wife then also ate together, the man asked why, the woman said: I ate this, like an iron band!

Salted duck eggs

When I was a child, some popular jingle. The meaning can be twisted east and west, as long as the rhyme. For example, “Zhou Qiaopi, Pi Qiaopi Zhou, Zhou Qiaopi’s wife in Hangzhou.” Why did Zhou’s wife want to separate from her husband and go to Hangzhou? I don’t know. For example, “Eggs, goose eggs, salted duck eggs, kill the devil’s son of a bitch.” I always thought that this line is wrong, probably the original word is “grenade”. Because you throw salted duck eggs to the opponent, it is simply a packet of dogs.

Gaoyou production salted duck eggs, greatly famous. I know many people, do not know Gaoyou out of Qin Guan and Wu Sangui, only know that “A yo, salted duck eggs!” You can see that the legend is far away but the congee and rice are close. Gaoyou is a water town, the ducks are fat, the eggs are also more, Gaoyou people themselves are good at pickling salted duck eggs, so the sea is well-known.

Salted duck eggs are not difficult to pickle up, but the pickled egg white is not sandy, yolk crispy, very dependent on the craft. This is the same as the sun sauce, make kimchi, pickled dried radish, I am lucky not my life. We are here with yellow mud and river sand pickled more, who pickled badly, was accused of hand stink, it is annoyed, complaining that the soil is not good duck poor, sand is not good to eat salt. Really Huainan orange Huai Bei hedgehog.

Salted eggs are divided into egg whites and yolks. Good salted duck eggs, soft white, salty taste heavier; yolk more oil, bright red color. The proper way to eat is to cut the salted egg in half, digging to eat, but not many parents have the time to do so. A bowl of porridge, a salted egg, throw it to the child, and peel it off yourself.

The salted egg is often hollow on one side, and when it is cracked, there is a small nest; peel some shells and start digging the egg yolk inside with chopsticks. Because the egg white is salty and cannot be eaten without congee or rice, many children play smart and dig through, eating only the yolk and throwing away the egg white and shell. Parents must be angry when they see this, and in our words here.

What a sin!

You can’t eat salted eggs in a hurry. A child who is impatient will dig out the egg white and yolk and scatter them on the surface of the congee, from a distance the egg white looks like a cloud and the yolk looks like a sunrise. A good salted duck egg should be eaten slowly with porridge and egg white and yolk, and a gentleman would finish the salted duck egg and pick it out, leaving a smooth shell, which is very elegant and can be used to make toys and put small candles. When I was a child, I was greedy for egg yolks and always thought about when I could just eat the yolks. Later, when I ate all kinds of egg yolk and tofu dishes, I realized that the egg yolk was heavy with oil and the white mouth was not good for eating, so I had to have something white to eat with it.

The summer is the hottest, it is not advisable to buy food, and everyone’s appetite is poor. Mothers are often too lazy to do dishes, cold rice to hot water a bubble, plus some pickled bean sprouts, dried radish, bean curd, when the main meal. But this alone, still too plain, mothers-in-law must nag that daughter-in-law lazy; add a few salted eggs, is a serious meal. So when I think of summer, it’s easy to think of the coolness of the bamboo chairs, the smell of mosquito incense, the sound of everyone sucking on the bubble rice, the sound of dried radish chewing up, the muffled “click” of the knife cutting open the watermelon in the kitchen, and then the taste of salted duck eggs.

When I was a kid, I was so dumb that I thought duck eggs were naturally salty and imagined that there was a kind of duck that was naturally salty and would lay salty eggs. My dad brought back a saltwater duck from Nanjing, so I asked my dad: Are the salted duck eggs laid by saltwater ducks? My dad said, “Yes! I said: then the salted duck eggs can be hatched out of the salt water duck? My dad (now that I think about it, he was thinking about it) said: Yes, but the mother must hatch herself, you do not go to hatch, you know?

Soybean stew with pig’s feet

Soy beans are old and tough, chewy, with bamboo shoots under the porridge, gobble gobble. Old people do not like to let girls eat this, suspected of eating up the sound is not civilized, and it is known that eating soy beans endless consequences, it is easy to smell bad.
Take the pig’s foot stew, it is very appropriate. Yellow beans stewed soft crispy, and not like bean crisp really crispy, chopsticks may not even clip up. Soybean stewed, to the old and spicy toughness of the fire power, very mild. Even the pig’s feet are also voodoo.

Eat pig’s feet must be with meat skin, tough and fat, fragrant and rotten. Many girls in Japan avoid eating fat, only pig’s feet exception, think rich in collagen, skin care to compensate for the passage of time. Probably chicken claws, goose paws, etc. have this kind of benefit: the gelatin is plentiful, tasty and chewy. The downside is that the look of eating is not civilized, the hands of the son, the son eat, but also easy to paste a face. So the pig’s feet cut open stew, look more civilized. Pig’s feet and soy beans single out, are watery dishes; stewed together, it is mild and rich, so that pregnant women and children can drink. Pig’s feet stewed soybeans, if there is soup, is very fatty, sweet and delicious, and not lose the clear and thick, only not to cool, or like paste, eat after the mouth to wipe, or the mouth will grow cobwebs. As the saying goes, strong feelings can not be melted, eat more tangled sticky, rubbing more effort.

Eat soybean pig’s feet, inevitably encounter pig’s feet on the pig’s hair is not clean. Pork hair sparse some, when not seen, eat it will stop; dense some, a closed eye will eat, while eating chanting: leg hair long body good, leg hair long body good ……

The most annoying thing in the world is to eat crab throwing crab pincers, eat bone soup without slurping the bones, eat sliced duck skin to remove the skin to eat duck meat alone, really annoying people wasteful, the pearl. We have a store here, specializing in vegetable rice + pig’s feet and soybean soup, my father and I perched on the case to eat, look at the neighboring table to eat pig’s feet and soybean stew, careful, make chopsticks like a scalpel, soybeans do not eat, pig’s feet and meat carefully picked meat skin, net eat inside a trace of fine meat, look at all people’s teeth sour. I then asked my father: “Another bowl of soup?” “Yes!” A slap on the table, “Another bowl of soup! ” which drew four seats to watch. Then we both put on a new bowl of soybean pig’s feet soup to eat dry, pig’s feet gnawed until only the bones left, the table full of wolves, which was a great relief, while wiping hard mouth – mouth sticky to open – while burping with gusto. Later on, I’ll go back to my intestines, to be counted by my mother, but at that time, eating, is very painful.

Meat sandwich bun

I used to think that the meat bun, is a lump of dough, and blame the bun fire is not right: Hey master this scorched it! –The master immediately full of obscurity, now think, at that time they may not how the heart of the thief mud horse. Later be taught: bun to ninety percent flour plus ten percent fermented flour, baked a “tiger back flower heart child” shape, black, yellow and white mixed spots, only crispy only crisp only fragrant only tender, only with the bacon; eat meat sandwich bun must be cross-hold, in order to eat even crispy with crispy fresh taste, not to let down the good bun good gravy.

The more meat you have to clip the better, tuna fish sandwich as it is; steamed bun rolls roast pork as it is; sandwich cookies as it is. The best is two slices of bun thin as paper, the middle sandwich a thick pier of soup dripping meat, train into the tunnel like, the whole piece into the throat. Eat more slowly cooked, the bun is the dong dong gong, the meat is wow suona, each other seeping hitch only delicious. More meat, the first two bites to satisfy the craving, the back of the mouth will feel lonely, no sound crackling and.

I used to think that eating meat alone is too greasy, not to mention the fatty and lean it, you have to add ingredients. Some stores are willing to put some cilantro in order to accommodate people. Only later did I feel that the taste is not pure, and the gravy is not creamy. Preserved meat is a godsend, fresh and not greasy, fatty meat crispy melting tough fresh, lean meat full of silk, cilantro and peppers and so can not get on this stage. The meat in preserved sauce like warp and weft, the bun a sticky a connected, the meat juice on the world, the bun are permeable through, eat up feel fresh taste and squeeze out like, the more bubbling more and more.

Six years ago the poorest time, buy breakfast is full of picking coins to calculate the money, buy spicy hot are afraid to order meat. In November, the money came, but did not dare to use it. The two of us were hungry most of the day and bought two meat buns. The two people who decided not to be afraid to live in poverty were sitting against a fire hydrant at the crossroads, sunbathing while happily sharing the meat buns.

I have eaten everything since then, nothing can compare with the meat bun at that time.
