The leisurely life of rebirth.

The folk proverb says: "Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot, the five poisons wake up, and there is no peace." At this time, animals and plants breed, and the five poisons of scorpions, centipedes, geckos, snakes, and toads enter and leave the house, harassing humans, how to get rid of them?The old traditional custom is that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, people will drink realgar wine or sprinkle realgar water under the bed or in the corner to avoid poison.

In ancient times, realgar, as a traditional Chinese medicine, was used as an antidote and insecticide.Realgar wine is white wine or rice wine made from ground realgar.

The ancients lacked scientific concepts and believed that realgar could restrain snakes, scorpions, centipedes, etc., and mistakenly believed that diseases were caused by ghosts and evil spirits.

Especially in the folklore of the White Snake Legend, even the white snake essence with a thousand years of practice was beaten back to its original shape after drinking realgar wine. Drinking some realgar wine can naturally protect health and avoid epidemics.Even the heads and bodies of children who cannot drink alcohol should be smeared with realgar wine, so that all ghosts can be feared and the children can live a long life.

From the perspective of modern medicine, drinking realgar wine is extremely harmful to the human body. Even if you don't drink it, it is not advisable to just smear realgar wine on the head and body of your child.Since the main chemical component of realgar is poisonous arsenic disulfide, it turns into arsenic trioxide by chemical reaction after heating, which is commonly known as arsenic. People will be poisoned after drinking it. It is no exaggeration to say that drinking realgar wine is actually equivalent to eating arsenic, so Don't take chances, think whether you can use the poison of realgar wine to fight the poison, or just drink a little realgar wine and you will be fine. Doing so is very dangerous.

In order to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival on the farm, Fang Monan sprayed realgar wine on the corner of the wall.Drive away the poisonous insects in summer.

Sachets became a popular decoration for the Dragon Boat Festival in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The things wrapped in the sachets are different, some are filled with medicines such as cinnabar and realgar, and some are filled with spices such as agarwood.

Wearing cinnabar sachets on the Dragon Boat Festival is said to be able to ward off evil and drive away plague.Children wear cinnabar sachets, which can not only ward off evil spirits and drive away plague, but also be used as embellishments for their lapels.

The Dragon Boat Festival is here, green and fat, red and thin, some immature and jerky fruits are gradually ripening, and what will be special will be the sachet with strong cinnabar charm. [

Wearing a cinnabar sachet, red in my heart.The fragrance floats in the world.

The red that never fades away.Evoking people's simple and mysterious memories, no matter how the folk customs of the north and the south differ, the desire to dispel evil spirits and ghosts and bring happiness and auspiciousness to the world will not change.

The weather is getting hotter and the farmhouse is gradually warming up.Cao Mo and his wife joined the farmhouse in an orderly manner.Busy but not chaotic.

The couple's illness has already been cured.Now busy and happy.

The chef of the small restaurant, Master Liu, has brought two apprentices and has been sent to the Chinese restaurant in New York as the chef.

Allen was the happiest. He raised his hands and feet in favor.I am so happy that I can finally eat high-quality Chinese food.

**********

In the early morning, there was a continuous rain. Fang Monan couldn't remember how many times it was the first rain since the beginning of summer. He only felt a burst of freshness and coolness in the air, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

Since the rainy farm was less lively than before, it was much quieter, so these idlers decided to reward themselves.

So everyone huddled in the small restaurant, including those who came to see the doctor, those who hadn’t recovered from their illness, and those who stayed on the farm. Of course, their meals were all specially made, not the special dishes that will follow.

"Come here, try my fortune." Yu Qingqing smiled happily and began to serve her prepared dishes.

"Oh! It turned out to be a fish head with chopped peppers!" Xiong Baochun laughed, "It's not lucky, half red chopped peppers, half green chopped peppers. Hmm! Just looking at it makes me want to eat."

Chopped Pepper Fish Head has the reputation of good luck and a good start. Whether it is a gathering of friends or a festival celebration, it often becomes the protagonist on the table.

"Hmm! The appearance is good, the color is bright and beautiful, fish white, pepper red, turmeric, light green. The shape of the fish head is complete, and the soup color is bright red, transparent and oily." Fang Monan looked at the dishes in front of him. ’, commented.

"Spicy red chopped pepper, covered with white and tender fish head meat, exuding a hot and fragrant aroma." Mr. Lin nodded slightly, "The temptation of spicy Hunan cuisine, in the 'chopped pepper fish head' It has been perfectly reflected.”[

Fish head with chopped pepper belongs to Hunan cuisine and is a famous dish in Sanxiang.Hunan cuisine is good at hot and sour, with a strong mountain flavor.

"The fragrance is also qualified." Master Liu praised, "Sister Cao's cooking skills are good, she can open a restaurant."

"Master Liu is absurd." Yu Qingqing said modestly. "I learned a lot of cooking skills from you."

"I also learned a lot of traditional techniques of Hunan cuisine, especially the skill of simmering in Hunan cuisine. It has almost reached the point of perfection. Simmering, in terms of color changes, there are red simmering and white simmering, and in terms of seasoning, there are clear soup simmering, Thick soup simmers and "milk" soup simmers. Slowly stewed over low heat, the original taste. Some dishes are crystal clear and mellow, some vegetable juices are pure and nourishing, some dishes are soft and rich, and some dishes are crispy and delicious. Many dishes come out of simmering The dishes have become the famous dishes in Hunan cuisine." Master Liu said.

"By the way, speaking of this, Doctor Fang! Is Hunan cuisine popular in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia?" Master Liu asked curiously.

"Let me tell you this, Americans and Canadians like to eat Hunan cuisine that is strong, fragrant, fresh, and spicy." Grandma Lin said with a smile.

"Then when we open a branch, we will focus on Hunan cuisine. There will be a sign with a picture of red chili peppers hanging in front of the door, and Sanxiang peppers will be written on it. The aprons of the waitresses in the restaurant will also be embroidered with red chili peppers. In short, it must reveal the strong spicy taste of Hunan cuisine." Liu The master came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Xiao Liu, you really stick to your profession!" Grandma scolded with a smile.

"Opportunities always appear inadvertently." Fang Monan smiled meaningfully.

Cao Mo frowned slightly thoughtfully.

Kensi, Kensi, just fine!The rest depends on whether he is willing to do it.Fang Monan and Mr. Lin looked at each other and smiled.

"Please comment on it!" Yu Qingqing said with a smile.

"It's so spicy, we can't stand it." Jian Huixin looked at the bright red fish head with chopped peppers, thanking her for not being sensitive.

"Don't worry about this, I have made a few more dishes, all of which have been improved and are not too spicy." Yu Qingqing said.

This is the fact that any cuisine that comes to a different place must be improved to some extent, so as not to lose its original flavor, but also to be accepted by many people.

"Master Liu is right, Aunt Cao is good at cooking." Fang Monan paused and continued, "The steaming method keeps the fresh aroma of the fish head in the meat as much as possible, and the taste of the chopped pepper penetrates into it just right. Among the fish meat, the fish head is waxy and soft, fat but not greasy, salty and slightly spicy. The entrance is delicate and crystal clear, with a gentle and elegant spicy taste!!"

"The fish head is very delicious, tender and refreshing, quite spicy, and absolutely delicious." Cao Mo praised without hesitation.

"The saltiness and spiciness of chopped chili are added to the fish head, which has a unique flavor. The dish is bright red in color, rich in flavor, and tender in texture. Fat but not greasy, soft and glutinous in taste, fresh and spicy." Dr. Chen said .

"Spicy, hot, and exhilarating!" Xiong Baochun said with sweat profusely. "It's really spicy and strong. Once you meet, you will win but you will be counted among the world." The rude man came to the finishing line.

"Ha ha……"

In the summer, come to a plate of red pepper fish head, which is really spicy and refreshing.

To be able to eat such a spicy dish, one has to have a certain amount of skill, and it is not embarrassing if it is so spicy that tears flow.The taste of Aunt Cao's cooking is really good. The fish head is very big, and the layer of chopped pepper on top looks very appetizing. It is spicy and fresh. It is the favorite of those who love spicy food. The soup of the fish head can also be used for mixing Rice, very good meal.

Mo Nan, who seldom sweats, also sweated. She ate a lot of tears and snot, and took out a tissue to wipe it from time to time. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear to put down her chopsticks.

Of course, those who love spicy food are in such a mess, so don't laugh at anyone else.

Fang Monan and others kept yelling hot, only the three members of the Cao family were just smiling, and they were all right, which shows that their "cultivation" skills are extremely deep.It is worthy of being soaked in peppers.

Everyone ate two more bowls of rice than usual, and the chili really went with the rice.

Cao Mo put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "If you have a chance to visit our house in winter, my wife makes fried pork with white pepper. The white pepper is actually small red pepper that has been processed to become as thin as paper. The meat is our specialty." The bacon, although it is pork belly, does not feel fat at all, and the smoky flavor of the meat is very fragrant; the green beans are delicious, different from the general dry stir-fry, and they are roasted together with potato chips. They are very tasty, have a good taste, and are very rotten The taste is absolutely authentic, the favorite of those who love spicy food.”

"Sister-in-law is so good at what she does! She is very good at both inside and out." Xiong Baochun said with a smile.

This reminded him of when Yu Qingqing beat Brother Leopard and the others with a big broom, he was really "pungent".

Cao Mo held Yu Qingqing's hand guiltily. If he hadn't been away all year round, Qingqing, who spoke softly in the past, would not have become a hot girl.

Yu Qingqing seemed to have sensed something, and shook his hand back, giving him a bright smile.

"To be honest, you guys are really good at eating spicy food." Grandma admired.

Cao Xuefang laughed, "Spicy girls have never been afraid of spicy food since they were young!"

"It's true. Since ancient times, Hunan women have said affectionately that this chili should be credited with credit. The Hunan girl who grew up eating chili has an unyielding energy in her bones. It is spicy but not splashy, hardworking and simple. He is very tough and tender in everything. This can be seen from the revolutionary predecessors." Mr. Lin said.

"Chili peppers are rich in vitamins, which can control the intake of calories and fat, and can also dispel dampness and wind, promote blood circulation, and make the complexion ruddy. Therefore, Xiangmeizi has a ruddy complexion and a healthy complexion." The color is smooth, soft and lovely. Just look at the two of you and you will know." Fang Monan joked with a smile.

Being praised so much, Yu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed, Cao Xuefang said, "Mom, what Doctor Fang said is true, look at how much younger you are compared to a few months ago, right! Dad."

"Hmm! She's much younger." Cao Mo, who was not good at words, said carelessly.

Yu Qingqing was really not used to being in front of so many people, so she hurriedly got up and cleared the dining table to hide her shyness.To be honest, he wasn't so 'sweet-talking' when he first got married. (To be continued..)

ps: It’s the [-]th year of the year, and I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year. The year of the horse is like this red pepper, and life is prosperous.Spicy enough!Enough flavor!
