Looking down at the bustling city at night, the new year is over. Homesickness can't help but bloom again in this red light and white snow season. For some reason, I always feel that the New Year in Beijing is less festive.

This winter, it was surprisingly cold, and I even had one or two phone calls at home, which became one of the few warmths in this winter. Whenever I talk about my family's years, I feel very emotional.

When I mention hometown affairs, my nose becomes sour involuntarily, and my thoughts drift back to the old days.

When I was a child, I went to my grandma's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay a New Year greeting, which was the happiest of the whole year. There are not only red envelopes in the pocket, but also a new year dish that I am coveting for 365 days-sweet taro meat (it is said that the ancestors were rich and inherited a new year dish).

Before the meal started, I went to the kitchen to look for the sweet taro pork, and saw that the pork belly was boiled and fried in a pot, and the fat became crispy; then mixed with the fragrance of the taro, freshly steamed out of the basket, poured it into a bowl, and topped it. Soup; one bite, the meat is soft, smooth and fragrant...

That taste is the taste of the year in memory, can fill the taste of my entire childhood!

Today, Nian, although it is as lively as ever, I always feel that something is missing. To this day, I still don’t know if I was looking forward to the New Year. What was it for a new suit and a few red envelopes? It's still a night filled with delicious food and fireworks.

The taste of my childhood is the best memory in my heart. Although the past few years have faded away, there are always some silent misses that have been quietly guarding us, and the fragrance will last longer!

Regardless of the passing of the years, the world is faltering.

Some flavors are always by my side, and have not changed; there are always some words, through the years, warm as ever!

In the world, aesthetic food and love cannot be disappointed. Love is missing, food is here, please follow WeChat: Xu Xu Ji

Tips:

During the frying process, the lid of the pot must be covered and pressed tightly to avoid oil explosion. When frying the skin, you will hear the ping-pong-pong-pong-pong oil popping sound. After the oil popping sound becomes smaller, open the lid of the pan and check it.
