On a hot afternoon, we visited Aunt Lai from Taiwan Province Province. She grew up in Taiwan Province Province in 1950s and 1960s, and studied classical music in university. After teaching music in Taiwan Province Province for 25 years, she came to Shanghai with her husband. Half a century's life in Taiwan Province Province is full of endless warmth and nostalgia.

Aunt Lai is telling us about the delicious food in Taiwan Province Province in her memory.

"When I was a child, every time I woke up from a nap, my mother always brought out a bowl of Aiyu jelly, which was cool and comfortable." The memory of Ai Yu is always related to her mother. "When I was a child, the food was not very rich, there was no cake, and there was no ice. Eating love jelly is already a great enjoyment for the elderly. " In fact, Aunt Lai has never had sex with Jade before. The first attempt was made after seeing our push a few days ago. But when it comes to Ai Yu, she can always think of her mother washing Ai Yu seeds. She found the seeds of Aiyu brought back from Taiwan Province Province and tried to make Aiyu by herself according to her memory. In order to test her production method, Aunt Lai specially checked books and videos and called her mother-in-law in Taiwan Province Province. After some verification, she found that the method she got from her memory was correct.

Ai Yudong is a specialty of Tainan, which has the functions of invigorating spleen, clearing away heat and purging fire, relieving dryness of triple energizer, and inducing resuscitation. Aiyu Cave is not only delicious, but also light yellow in color and very elegant.

Aiyu jelly is made of Aiyu seeds, which are evergreen vines, usually attached to rocks or tall trees. As far as quality is concerned, the wild Aiyu seeds produced in Alishan area are the best because of the superior natural conditions such as topography and climate.

The method of love jade jelly

The container for making Aiyu jelly can't be greasy, otherwise it can't solidify.

Aiyu seed was prepared by her mother-in-law in Taiwan Province Province. It is thin and small. Ai Yu is an evergreen liana woody plant, which usually clings to rocks or tall trees. Every August-June165438+1October, the fruit turns yellow and green, and can be harvested. There are many small particles in every fruit. After collection, the achenes are vertically cut to expose and dried, which becomes the raw material for making Aiyu jelly.

Love jade is a simple and patient thing. Pour Ai Yu seeds into a cotton bag and wash them with clear water. "With ordinary hard water, don't use that kind of filtered water or pure water. After minerals are removed, they will not solidify. Water containing minerals is the best. " Generally speaking, the ratio of love jade seeds to water is 1:50, but Aunt Lai prefers to adjust it to 1:30. "This will make it more elastic to eat.

"Soak in the water a little, and then rub it like washing clothes." After repeated scrubbing by Aunt Lai, the Ai Yu seeds in the bag released sticky gum, and the water gradually deepened and turned brown. After rubbing for about 10 minutes, the colloid in Ai Yu is completely soluble in water and can slowly coagulate in the shade. Because of the special proportion adopted by Aunt Lai, coagulation takes one hour, usually only 20 to 30 minutes.
