For the past two days, I have been studying the lo-mei in the new year’s goods. To say that lo-mei is the new year’s goods, not the excitement, it is really an indispensable one in the new year’s goods, although the new year’s goods are composed of chicken, duck, fish, melon seeds, peanuts, candy, tobacco and alcohol It seems that it has little to do with this lo-mei, but lo-mei is indispensable in every new year's dish. Whether it’s a New Year’s Eve dinner or a dinner with relatives and friends, can you lose the lo-mei at that time? I said that lo-mei is a good choice for the New Year. Speaking of lo-mei, I think of all kinds of lo-mei in my family when I was a child. My mother is a culinary expert. Every year on the 28th of the lunar calendar, my family starts to braise various kinds of stew, such as pig intestines, pig ears, liver, pork belly, pig head meat, chicken, dried tofu, etc. Mother will prepare it several days in advance. These ingredients. Use tweezers, a knife, edible alkali and other tools and ingredients to clean the pig offal. I started to make a pot of rice for breakfast on the 28th. Because it will be cooked for a day, there is no stove to cook at noon, so you can eat it at noon. If you have leftover rice, you can eat the bittern flavor. This day of the year is also the happiest time for us, because we can eat all kinds of lo flavours that we can’t usually eat, and we can eat it freely. When the stewed pot is boiled, the smell of stewed meat is wafting all over the house, attracting We surrounded the stove and refused to leave. From time to time, we used chopsticks and spatula to poke the meat to see if the meat was cooked. This drew my mother’s snickers, "It’s all greedy cats" this time, let you eat enough. How much can you eat? In fact, it doesn’t really mean how much to eat, a few pieces of pork liver, one more chicken leg, I’m already full, what is greedy is the strong flavor of the year, what is greedy is the strong affection!

Lo-mei is a kind of delicacy that people like very much. Years ago, many homes would prepare a pot of brine to make it convenient for guests to process various lo-mei products during the Spring Festival. The most important thing for this kind of New Year's goods is the production of that pot of brine, which is the root of whether the brine products are delicious. Dried tofu is no less than milk, and has the functions of clearing heat, moisturizing dryness, promoting body fluid, detoxification, nourishing the middle, widening the intestine, reducing turbidity, etc.
