When I was young, I lived in an adobe house in my hometown. My favorite thing to do every day is to sit on the small bench in front of the firewood stove and "burn a fire".
Whenever it was time to cook, I always consciously went to the stove to light a fire and add firewood. Adults always praise me for being very capable, and I knew to take the initiative to help in the kitchen at a young age. In fact, I have always known that I am not really capable, but I like to stay in front of the stove and watch the adults busy preparing ingredients and cooking.
I like to watch my grandma cooking. When I light up the fire in the stove, the water droplets remaining on the surface of the pot will continue to evaporate as the temperature rises. Pour oil into the pan again. After the oil is heated, add the garlic. With a sound of "stab", the aroma of the garlic will rise. Then add vegetables and seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Stir-fry evenly and put it out of the pan.
When cooking, the smoke and the aroma of the dishes permeate the entire small kitchen. So, it's not so much that I like to burn fire to cook, it's better to say that I especially like the strong smoke in the kitchen. In fact, my fire-making skills are not good. Sometimes it is big and sometimes small, and the heat of the dishes is often delayed by me, especially when I stir-fry the dishes, it is even more anxious. Fortunately, everyone doesn't seem to care much about this tiny flaw. As long as you eat hot meals and hot dishes, you can make people feel comfortable and at ease.
When I grew up, I especially liked the night markets in small towns. Others go to the riverside or parks for a walk, but I just like to go to the night markets. Every night after dinner, when I go out for a walk, I can't help but walk towards the night market. I like the food stalls in the night market very much. There are a variety of snacks, such as kebabs, steamed buns, grilled chicken legs, finger pancakes, fried noodles with fried noodles or oysters and so on.
When you come to the night market for a walk, you can't help but buy some snacks. Among the many snacks, I was impressed by Teppanyaki noodles and Teppanyaki fried rice. I feel that this kind of fried rice and fried rice are not only very delicious, but the cooking process is more of an art. I always think fried rice with fried rice is a very ornamental thing: rice noodles and ingredients bloom on the iron plate, Then there were bursts of smoke and fire, and the burnt aroma was simply mouth-watering. Ordering a portion of fried noodles and taking a bite is simply irresistible.
I know there is a stall in the night market that sells roasted oysters with garlic. You can buy oysters by a dozen or half a dozen, or you can buy them individually for three yuan each. In hand, eat while shopping. I also especially like the Kung Fu Xiaolongbao in the night market. The stall owner just uses a very simple small three-wheeled xiaolongbao to sell in the night market, but the taste and taste of his Xiaolongbao are the ultimate. . As soon as the steaming steamed buns come out of the cage, the aroma is rich and tangy. There are eight small steamed buns in a basket. They are small, but the buns are thin, full of filling, juicy, and delicious. Even the pleats are delicately pinched. I don’t think it’s any worse than those in big hotels. More importantly, this Xiaolongbao made me feel a kind of indescribable fireworks, which is incomparable to eating buns elsewhere.
I have always thought that food streets and night markets are the most exciting places in a city, where there are all kinds of food, especially in every new city, there are always many food that we have never tasted. Therefore, no matter which city I come to, I like to go to the night market or food street of the city, to taste the most representative food and taste of the city, and to feel the uniqueness of their city. Unique smokey smell.
In addition, I also especially like the snack bar near the middle school in the small town where I live. Perhaps because the main customers are students, those small shops are very affordable. I know the owner of a small shop very well. Every time I go there, he greets me warmly. He even remembers clearly that my favorite food is beef noodles and big meat buns. Therefore, every time I visit this small shop, I always eat while chatting with the boss. I really enjoy this slow time of enjoying delicious food without any worries.
So, no matter when, even if I don't want to eat anything, I like to go to the night market, go to the supermarket, and sit in a small shop. Because I like the thick smoke!
