In addition to squinting, friends can also bask in steamed buns.

Since the opening of WeChat, I have often dried my buns in my circle of friends.

Shouldn't friends circle bask in something more meaningful and taller? Look at others, either taking beautiful photos or traveling. One moment in Paris, the other in Egypt. It's either Saipan or Turkey.

Romantic. No more.

I'm so old-fashioned, always drying my ass. Therefore, every time I can always attract the kind ridicule of my friends, I wonder why I like eating steamed buns so much.

Are you steamed corn bread?

What a pity! I'm not a good cook. I can get some food for my guests. One is pancake, the other is steamed bread.

Pancakes come from family heirlooms, because my father branded a cake, which was golden in color and crisp outside and ringing inside.

The craft of steaming Wowotou should be regarded as a monk halfway, and I learned it from Master Liang of the educated youth canteen.

Our generation was born in a new society and grew up under the red flag, but it also caught up with natural disasters for three years.

Although my family lives in the military compound, the food rations follow the food expenses of urban residents, and we should always eat corn flour and corn bread.

There are many scenes of eating in the TV series "Parents Love". Even in the commander's house, there must be steamed bread on the table of every meal.

During the three-year natural disaster, grandma always mixed something in the rice she cooked for us. As soon as I saw grandma cooking, I pulled her skirt at the back and pouted and said, "Grandma, I'm a terrible cook."

My mother learned this from me later, when I was only three years old.

In order not to let us eat vegetables and cakes hungry all day, my father used his Sunday holiday to buy two bags of biscuits in Beijing.

This matter was also criticized by name at the meeting, to the effect that life is too extravagant. Everyone else is eating bran cake, you can still eat cookies, and you go to Beijing to buy cookies.

Therefore, it is very good to eat Wowotou without mixing vegetables and still be full.

Father loves his family and children. Whenever he is free, he cooks for himself. Even if it's wowotou, steam it for us in another way. Steamed round today, steamed flat tomorrow, and steamed square the day after tomorrow, sometimes a big wooden stick can only put two in a layer of perforated strainer. It looks particularly exciting. As soon as I mentioned the pot, my appetite was hooked.

Those steamed buns with different patterns first blinded our eyes and then deceived our stomachs. Unconsciously, a big steamed corn-bread went down.

At that time, in order to educate us to "never forget the class struggle" and not to turn into revisionism, we forgot that two-thirds of the people in this world still live in dire straits, and for a time we were happy to eat and remember the bitter rice.

Once it was the turn of the students in our school to suffer hardships. Everyone got together, and each of them gave out a steamed cake with wheat bran and cabbage and a bowl of cabbage soup, which was said to be eaten by the poor in the old society. Eat this, remember class bitterness and national hatred, in order not to suffer the bitterness of the second crop and the sin of the second crop from now on.

While eating bran cake, "Don't forget the class bitterness" came from the loudspeaker:

"The sky is full of stars and the moon buds are shining.

The production team held a meeting, grumbled and extended their grievances.

Evil old society, the blood and tears of the poor.

A multitude of things, a multitude of things flooded into my heart.

I can't stop the bitter tears hanging on my chest. "

This song was sung in a sad way, which aroused people's great hatred of the evil old society. Thinking about what the poor people in the old society ate, I am sincerely glad that we were not born in that era.

Although the bitter rice was not as delicious as my grandma and dad's, and I didn't feel particularly bad, I ate my classmate Fang with a long face and bit the cake in my mouth.

Seeing Zhu Xingzhen, a male classmate, eating his own and helping others eat, he enviously thought, why not help me eat? But you can't throw it away, for fear of being labeled forgetful, and finally put it in your pocket and take it home to throw it away.

Until today, many years later, Albania is still worried about suffering from hardship. It's incredible to see that I love to eat steamed buns.

In "Parents' Love", the scene of suffering from hardship is vividly reproduced, and the ending is to make several children in the Jiang family vomit and diarrhea.

In the TV series Legend of Wulin, Bai Zhantang also reproduced it, but only to make fun of it. He sang "Wowotou is in hand, and there is not a drop of oil in the dish ..."

Live and sing a tragedy into a comedy.

At that time, teachers and students of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts created a large clay sculpture "Rent Collection House" based on the landlord manor of Liu, the landlord of Dayi, Sichuan. Through 26 plots, 108 props and 165438 vivid characters, the rent-collecting house shows rent paying, rent inspection, wind valley, fighting, settlement, forced rent and anger.

Although Renting House has been questioned and criticized by people in both artistic history and historical truth, it was described as "an atomic bomb" at that time. It was exhibited not only in the original site of Liu Manor, but also in the China Art Museum, which was reported by major newspapers with equal popularity.

Later, the sculpture drama Renting House, which was adapted from clay sculpture Renting House, was staged all over the country, which also caused a sensation round after round.

The Ninth Infantry School of Beijing Military Region, where my family is located, followed closely, and the Political Department organized a rehearsal for renting houses.

The farmers and landlords in the play are of course played by adults, and the children in the play can only be chosen from home.

My sister, who loved literature and art since childhood, was chosen to play the one at the entrance of the water dungeon who kept shouting "Mom, I'm hungry!" " "That girl.

Later, considering that my sister was a little older than the sculpture figure, this glorious task finally fell on Li Hong, the most beautiful female classmate in our class.

Poor people who walk into rented houses spend a lot of money when paying rent. When borrowing money, the landlord used small means. If you can't pay the rent, you will be put in prison. These plots are deeply engraved in our minds.

And we can not only eat Wowotou, but also eat steamed bread, jiaozi and fried dough sticks every once in a while. This kind of life is simply paradise.

At that time, I read the cartoon "Letter from the South" and knew that the people in southern Vietnam were bullied by Americans and sang the song "My motherland is in black Africa:

I am a black boy.

My motherland is in black Africa.

Black Africa

Black Africa

The night is endless.

Gentlemen from the west

Ride around our necks ...

Poor black kid living in hot water! What we wanted at that time was to defeat the wolves of American imperialism and liberate black children and all mankind one day.

But before it is our turn to liberate all mankind, it is our turn to cultivate our hearts in the vast world.

On the first day in the village, I was elected as the life manager of the educated youth point by the educated youth. In other words, I am responsible for the eating, drinking and sleeping of 40 educated youths.

The village specially lent us the courtyard of a fellow villager's home as a canteen for educated youth. The landlord is a kind couple who live with their newly-married son and daughter-in-law. There is also a rhubarb dog at home.

This dog later became my faithful companion.

They are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old students, and no one in the family has cooked. It was thoughtful of the cadres of the brigade to send a middle-aged man named Liang to the educated youth canteen as a canteen chef. Educated youths take turns to arrange a man and a woman to work in shifts every day to help Master Liang.

Master Liang is a soldier. Although he has retired for many years, he is still used to wearing old military uniforms. He is a cook in the army and he is a good cook. Whoever holds a wedding in the village always asks him to cook.

I learned a lot from Teacher Liang. How to keep food accounts and how to arrange three meals a day. How to carefully plan and cultivate coarse grains can not only make everyone full, but also eat well.

Under the leadership of Master Liang, our canteen has become a typical canteen for educated youth in the whole commune. Leading cadres called the administrator of the educated youth point and held a live meeting in our canteen.

Learning from fame is actually giving us a free meal.

The most common meal in the canteen is paste cake. A 24-mark iron pot, from morning till night, sticks cakes three times a day without stopping. Cook millet porridge at the bottom of the pot, stick a circle of cakes on the side of the pot, and put a steamer on the pot to fill a drawer with cakes.

When the cake is ripe, so is the porridge. Open the lid, a drawer is golden, and the room is full of fragrance.

If there is millet porridge left, knead it into the next meal of corn flour and continue steaming cakes. This kind of corn steamed bread is especially delicious mixed with leftover porridge. It's loose and loud, and the residue falls off after a bite. Everyone was grinning.

Although I was only eighteen or nineteen years old at that time, I learned martial arts with Master Liang, and I was able to roll up my sleeves and weigh 40 Jin of corn flour in one breath-that is, our mouths were as big as a water tank and a basin of noodles.

At the end of the second year, during the conscription season, several leading cadres came to the village. I chased people and asked them if they wanted female soldiers.

One of the cadres joked, "If you can steam steamed bread, we will take you."

Stop! Can't steam flowering steamed bread, can't I steam flowering steamed bread? Try steaming a pot for you.

I joined the army as soon as I got angry.

Since leaving the countryside, there are few opportunities to eat steamed buns.

Our old army is stationed in Shaanxi, and it is popular to eat steel noodles. It's the kind of flour pressed with corn flour. Let it dry like a fan. When eating, steam it in a steamer and pour it with marinade.

I felt very fresh at first, but my stomach will be sour after eating for a few days. At this time, I will think, it is better to eat wowotou. I especially miss the steamed flower steamed buns by Master Liang.

Later, living conditions got better and better. Every day, rice is white and flour is white, but I miss steamed bread more and more.

When I first settled in my hometown in my later years, I lived in the suburbs. I happened to see sweet potato noodles that I haven't seen for decades in the vegetable market, and now I bought two Jin.

As a result, as soon as I entered the community, the villagers laughed at me. Who still eats sweet potato noodles now?

When I got home, I steamed sweet potato noodles into buns at three o'clock, then sliced them and took them downstairs. Everyone can't wait to try.

Needless to say, the folks who haven't eaten sweet potato noodles for many years actually say that my steamed corn-bread is delicious-I don't know if it's to pay tribute to me.

Who says friends can't bask in the nest? Because of your squints and Versailles, not because of me?

In 2009, in order to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, Beijing People's Arts specially staged a drama called Wotou Guild Hall. It is a street story that happened in a building group called Wotou Guild Hall in Beijing before liberation.

Pu Cunxin, Song Dandan, He Bing, Xu Fan and Yang Lixin, the five pillars of this art, appeared together, which is a five-star lineup.

Wotou Guild Hall was a phenomenal drama in the drama market that year. The momentum of the audience grabbing tickets to join even surpassed that of the previously rearranged teahouse.

Is it very grounded to hear this name? Who hasn't eaten steamed corn bread in China?

It's good to know that it's good to have too much sun in Wowotou. My relatives and friends all know that I love this bite. Today, I want to buy a bag of corn flour for this, and tomorrow, I want to buy some corn steamed bread for that.

Eating makes my heart warm.

So Wotou is not only Wotou, but also contains my memories of youth and the taste of love.

Sweet in the mouth, sweet in the heart.
