The taste of childhood is deep in my memory. When I was young, eating dried radish pickled by my grandmother was absolutely delicious on earth. Not only was it delicious with porridge, but it was more often eaten as a snack. It was fragrant, crisp, slightly sweet and too tender. Now my grandmother is old and doesn’t do this much anymore. I stayed at my grandmother’s house when she was studying and watched her do it once. I asked my grandmother a few times from memory. Even the same recipe, the same steps, different people made the taste. There is still a gap, it's not as good as grandma's cooking, but it's much more delicious than the one bought! "
