Slogan dipped in onion sauce

There are some comments in China on the Tip of the Tongue: "No matter how far you go, in people's minds, only the taste of hometown is familiar and stubborn. It is like a taste positioning system, one end is locked in a different place thousands of miles away, and the other end is always connected with the hometown deep in memory. "

I think for every stranger, the feeling will be more profound. For me, no matter how distant and prosperous the metropolis is, as long as I return to my small village in my spare time, the taste system will immediately return to my childhood settings, and delicious food and delicious food are not as good as the simple tea and light rice given to me by this natural and hardworking family.

It was summer vacation, and across the north and south of the motherland, I returned to my familiar summer resort-Heilongjiang. I grew up in the countryside, and the taste of childhood memories can reappear, because my parents and relatives have never left this land. To say that the longest aftertaste in summer taste buds must be the taste of pickles.

The sauce of pickles has its own taste. Some people are only made of soybeans and salt, while others are made of soybeans, corn and salt. Due to the differences in time control, rolling strength and seasoning configuration, sauces have their own flavors. From the long preparation and fermentation in winter, to the tumbling and stirring in spring, to the rich sauce flavor in summer, time and hard-working people give pickles a unique taste in summer.

The delicious food in sauced dishes is incredible in the eyes of southerners. Colleagues in the south often say that you eat everything raw, which is terrible! I just laughed without saying a word. One side of the soil and water raised one side of the people, and each place formed its own unique flavor.

Because the temperature in Northeast China is low all the year round, which is not conducive to bacterial reproduction, we have the habit of eating vegetables raw. Especially in summer, the onion seeds, white rapeseed, fragrant rapeseed and raw rapeseed scattered on the ground can grow freely as long as the water content is suitable, and they can be picked when they want to eat, so the dining table in the northeast countryside is full of vegetables in summer.

As for cucumbers and peppers, they need a little careful care. From seedling raising in spring, to transplanting into the yard slowly, and then to picking flowers in the shed, waiting for them to grow up a little. Our children like to pick a cucumber or a colorful "not spicy" pepper to eat when adults are not looking. Adults usually wait for cucumbers to grow big enough before picking them and dipping them in sauce, or cutting them into shredded sauce. As for Chili, you must also eat the hottest morning pepper.

Onions, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, coriander, cucumber and pepper make up a big plate of pickles. Rich, sauces are also derived from eggplant sauce, egg sauce and minced meat sauce. Big tofu and dried tofu are also added to the pickles. No matter how things change, no matter how conditions change, my love for pickles remains unchanged.

Exploring the northeast countryside, for people living in this black land, the taste of nature and hometown is the most authentic. No matter how hurried you are, no matter how happy and sad you are, as long as you set foot on this land and your parents and relatives are still there, your childhood memories will go back in time and flow back to the tip of your tongue.
