In busy farming season, talk about "eating snacks"

Jane, have you ever heard of the custom of "eating snacks" in the countryside? Probably not. So this morning, I will tell the story of "eating snacks" in my hometown.

In my hometown Meijiang, there are four meals a day, one of which is called "dim sum". Under normal circumstances, the hostess at home will plan to make snacks after she has packed the dishes of a large family, so I don't have to mix them.

But if the farmer is busy, the woman will also go to work in the paddy field, such as cutting rice, tying rice stalks, pulling out seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings. What can I do? It depends on grandparents who rest at home or little boys and girls who spend their summer holidays at home. In my family, I usually make large and small dough according to my mother's instructions. Big dough is used to roll wheat flour, and small dough is used to paste wheat pages. It seems that I am helping my mother a lot, but more importantly, I am helping her. Why? Because of poor hands-on ability, I don't know how much water to add to a bowl of flour, which is often too much. The dough is mushy, you can paste wheat pages or rub dough, but rolling wheat flour is not good, so you have to add flour again and again, and finally the dough becomes bigger and bigger. Rolling noodles are also uneven in thickness, often thick in the middle, not only thin around, but also serrated, much like tofu skin that was not laid in the cauldron during the New Year.

My mother came up from the paddy field and went home barefoot in shoes. When she saw this scene, she even took a sip of boiling water and dealt with it immediately. First, she squashed the thick part in the middle with a rolling pin. If it still didn't work, she cut a knife in the middle with a board knife, divided it in half, sprinkled some flour, and then rolled it hard. Although the noodles are a little short, the thickness is roughly uniform. In the boiling water in the cauldron, the raw and cooked noodles are basically the same. Looking at my mother's bold and capable appearance, I really admire her composure and ability to handle events. Maybe outsiders don't know, but my mother and I know very well that my old father, brother-in-law and two brothers are basically the front feet of the heels, that is, they went to other places at about the same time. The difference is that they will pick wet rice stalks to the hillside by the stream or field, or pick two baskets of rice to go to class and the next class to dry. After the sun, they will hurry home to eat snacks.

It is worth mentioning that I cook loach with peeled potato pieces or red amaranth at home, which not only cooks my stomach, but also looks good.

As for the "eat snacks" in the wheat paste page, twist the wheat bumps and write it when you are free next time.
