The mother-in-law drank a few sips of ginger tea, and then slowly said: "From the beginning of the year, we celebrate the Lantern Festival here, and we have to eat soup balls and hanging lanterns. There are two kinds of soup balls, salty and sweet, and the sweet ones are red bean paste. and sweet-scented osmanthus, and salty ones with bacon and bacon."

"There are also bacon fillings." Li Yu said with a smile, "This is the first time I've heard of it."

Mi Xiaoye said with a smile: "Grandma, continue."

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "When the spring comes on February [-], after eating the Chinese New Year's dishes, we will do farm work. Every household will steam some rice cakes, radish sticks and so on. When the Qingming Festival comes, wild wormwood will also If it is fresher and tender, we will pick some wild wormwood and make it into glutinous rice cakes to eat.”

"Is the glutinous rice cake made green?" Mi Xiaoye asked.

"Yes, mix the juice of wild wormwood, and the glutinous rice cake will be green," said the mother-in-law.

Li Yu said with a smile: "This is very similar to our cake making. With different seasonings, it can be made into cakes of different colors."

"In addition to making pastries with this wild wormwood, we sometimes crack an egg and eat it together with the wormwood." The mother-in-law said.

Jun Yijing smiled and said: "A wormwood fried egg must be fresh and delicious."

Mi Xiaoye asked: "By the way, mother-in-law, what is a radish pan? How do you make it?"

The mother-in-law said: "The radish pan is made differently in different places, but generally shredded radish is mixed with pork, dried shrimp, green onion, soy sauce, and garlic to make various shapes."

"Oh, that's right." Mi Xiaoye nodded.

"If you want to say that the most common staple food we cook here is all kinds of boiled rice." The mother-in-law said with a smile, "We often eat carrot boiled, wormwood boiled, sweet boiled, mouse boiled, bamboo shoots boiled, fine boiled rice, There are too many stuffed rice dumplings and rice dumplings.”

"So many?" Jun Yize said, "How many kinds of rice cakes do you have? I can't even hear it."

Mi Xiaoye admired secretly, indeed the masters are among the folks.

Li Yu asked: "Mother-in-law, what is a mouse pan? Could it be a mouse..."

"No." The mother-in-law said, "How can we eat mice? The mouse rice is ground into rice paste with sticky rice, and rubbed back and forth on the special rice sticks to make strip-shaped rice strips, because the two sides are thin, like mice. It’s the same, so it’s called mouse pan.”

Li Yu nodded and said, "So that's the case."

"When it's Qingming, we'll eat some rice noodles, or glutinous rice cakes made with wheat husks." The mother-in-law said, "After Qingming, it's the time when the green and yellow are not harvested. But the wild vegetables in the mountains are also tender, so pick some and make them." Chengcai dumplings or something like that. In some places, chicken poop and rattan pancakes are also eaten during Qingming.”

"Chicken shit vine?" Li Yu asked again with a deflated look, "Grandma, this chicken shit vine has nothing to do with chicken shit."

Mi Xiaoye said: "I have heard people say that if you rub the leaves of the chicken droppings vine, it will smell like chicken droppings. But after smelling it for a long time, it has a delicate fragrance."

The mother-in-law nodded and said, "That's it. The chicken dung vine not only has a unique taste, but also can cure diseases. If you have a severe cough, you can use the chicken dung vine to make soup, and it will work."

"It's a good thing to be able to cook as well as make medicine." Liu Lin laughed.

Mi Xiaoye asked: "Then what happens when you're dead?"

"Bitter melon will come down in May, and the soybeans that have just been harvested can be used to make stuffed tofu." The mother-in-law said, "Bitter melon can also be used to stuff and eat. Liuzhou likes to eat stuffed vegetables."
