Say food is the same as before / It is time to eat spring leeks

Common sayings are "January, February leek, March leek, April leek" Spring is the most suitable time to eat leeks. "It is time to eat two leeks, so it is better to pour wine in front of the flowers!" Yang Zhong, a former Taiwanese poet, used leeks to accompany wine to make flowers, and was very elegant; and Su Zhu, a great talent in the Song Dynasty who loves and eats the most in history, would certainly not let go of this, "I feel that the east wind is chilly and cold, and Artemisia annua and yellow leeks are trying to make spring plates." Where is spring? Eat the spring leek, and spring is on the tongue.

Leeks are perennial herbs of the Aroma family. More than two thousand years ago, the "Lamb Sacrifice" was recorded. The leeks can be served as a sacrifice, but they are cold and heat-resistant and have strong vitality. The Republican writer Liang Luqiu once described it as one of the most popular vegetables.

The pronunciation of leeks is the same as "long-lasting", and some people write it as "long-lasting vegetable", and it cannot be cut for a long time, and some people call it "现安子", "风风风风风", etc. Taiwanese farmers start harvesting around New Year's Day, and harvest every 15 to 20 days, and can harvest 5 or 6 times in a row.

Taiwan's leeks were introduced when most immigrants from mainland China came to Taiwan hundreds of years ago. Changhua County has the largest production volume, accounting for 70% of the entire Taiwan and can be produced throughout the year.

"Brothers of Leek" are leeks, leek flowers and leek yellow. Leeks are the leeks that are commonly eaten, and can be divided into two types: white and green. "Cut the spring leeks in the night rain, and yellow beans in the new cooking", the fragrance of leeks and the affection of old friends gave Du Fu endless comfort to the desperate "Sacrifice".

Leek flowers are used to collect their tender moss plants when the buds are not budged. As for leek yellow, it can prevent leeks from light through artificial intervention methods such as heat or covered with black cloth, resulting in less greenery and yellow in color, and the leaf tips are smooth and refreshing. During the Song Dynasty, the travels of Shun in Sichuan, strongly recommended leek yellow in Xinjin and other places. "Xinjin leek yellow is in the world, and its color is like a three-foot yellow glutinous rice", which is sufficient to prove that the ancients loved to eat and were dedicated to diamond and research farming technology.

Cooking spring leeks, Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty provided food in the "Shiyuan Food Order". "It is specialized in the white leeks, and it is better to stir-fry them with rice. Or use fresh leeks, pineapples, and meat." However, the most common people should eat leeks with chicken eggs. Hu Zhufeng, a writer from the opposite bank, once described "the green is yellow, with gold and jade, and the jade is still jade. Such dishes are decorated in gold-painted porcelain plates, which really have the atmosphere of eating a bellfish and cauldron."

Leeks water and leek boxes are my favorite. The good leeks have thin skin and large skin. When you bite it, the leek fragrance that breaks out of the skin is mouth-watering. What is even more important is "leeks and yellow meat". It was included in the imperial dietary quotation during Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

The leek box is even more "country sad" in my province of the Minnan ethnic group. When I was young, I saw uncles who were not familiar with me and called me to sell leek boxes. I always felt strange and familiar. In the cold winter, after paying, the leek box in the paper bags scented with the complex and simple taste of rice, leek, minced meat, pink, and bean dregs. Is it a last resort or difficult happiness for "This peace of mind is my country"?

In the past, my family would prepare to clean leeks. When eating, they said, "Snack leeks and call you for a long time." When they came to the central and southern part, the "fried rice cake" wrapped in noodles and fried leeks is a worry for many tourists. When they are given pig blood soup, they should add flavor to the leeks.

The main character of leeks is also "龙海". The name of the dish looks scary at first glance. In fact, it is made with fermented black beans, minced meat and a large number of leeks cut into fine pieces, and stir-fry them quickly with hot and spicy. After stir-frying black beans, it is black and shiny. It is mixed between leeks and minced meat. It is like a leek, which is abandoned by Taiwanese chefs who do not let go of the remaining leeks in their Sichuan cuisine restaurant. The spirit machine was created and it is the light of Sichuan-style Taiwanese cuisine.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Yang Ningren called "Yang Jianzi", and left a book with the famous "Lilac Flower Tie". It was a line of words written by him when he suddenly rose and had some precious leek flowers filling his stomach when he was very hungry. In order to answer the answers to the delicious food of the sausage, "Zhisanyi Youzhi" is recognized as one of the five major books in the world. It is similar to "Fengyu Tie" in Dongchen Wang Xizhi.

"Cutting leeks" was originally a stock market term, describing the fact that the disparate resources were harvested by the majority of the investors like leeks. In fact, before the incident of the Donghan Yellow Scarf, the story was revealed, "The hair is like leeks, and the rebirth of the people," which ignited the spirit of civilians to resist injustice. Although the incident of the Yellow Scarf ended in failure, it may be said in the "Fenghua" of the shadow drama, "Only by seeing the future, there will be a future."
