Now there are words like "scum" and "school scum" on the Internet, which reveals that scum is a derogatory term, but if I lie on my 97-year-old grandmother's ear and say, "Grandma, do you think scum is delicious?" She will be very happy, show neat white dentures and smile from ear to ear, so it is easy to understand. Grandma will definitely say, "That's a good thing!"
Everyone in beginning of autumn knows that "insist on autumn fertilizer", but there is a saying in Laixi beginning of autumn, Jiaodong that "adults and children don't spit or pull when they eat the dregs of beginning of autumn"! In fact, it is to tell future generations not to eat more big fish and meat, but to be vegetarian and achieve a balanced nutrition.
Many people in the city can cook and eat vegetable dregs, but they are not authentic. A small pot of vegetable residue can be quickly made from the bean foam broken by a soymilk machine on a natural gas stove.
The most authentic Jiaodong vegetable residue is to grind beans with a stone mill, and the residue cooked in a large pot is delicious. Nowadays, there are few stone mills in the village. If you are lucky enough to see a stone mill in a corner of the village, you will cover it with plastic sheets when not in use. The stone mill is bare and not covered with grass. You must not be idle. It is a stone mill used by villagers to eat slag.
My in-laws like to eat dregs, so they bought a small stone mill to push beans to make dregs. They can sit leisurely and turn the stone mill by hand, and the speed is not slow. They can also make a big pot. Then I gave them to my sister and me one by one. Every time I say that eating beans is nutritious and eating more vegetables is healthy! Now I also eat all the vegetable residue every time, chew it slowly, and I can't tell you how much I like it, but I will never refuse the taste of vegetable residue again.
Soak the beans for a day and you can grind them. Blanch the vegetables first, blanch them until they are half cooked, take them out and cool them, squeeze out the water from the vegetables and remove the soup. The soup must be squeezed clean so that it tastes good, and then the vegetables are finely chopped.
Pour the ground bean foam into the cauldron, one person lights the fire and the other stirs it. Be sure to reduce the fire and keep stirring to avoid burning the cauldron. Cook slowly into the pot, no longer has the smell of dogs and beans, so you can put the green vegetable foam into the pot. Add the right amount of salt to taste, and a pot of delicious vegetable residue will be ready. Grandma said it would be nice to be stuffy for another ten minutes.
There are many vegetables in autumn, which is the best season to eat dregs. Radish tassels, carrot tassels, mustard tassels, etc. Can't waste, can be used to make slag. Grandma says shredded radish is delicious, too.
In spring, shepherd's purse knows that jiaozi is good, and the dregs made by shepherd's purse are even more delicious! If there is much rain in autumn and spring comes, shepherd's purse will grow and drown in the ground. Dig a big basket of shepherd's purse, soak your own soybeans first, and then pick the vegetables and wash them. Before pushing the mill the next day, I went to the village to clean the stone mill and called several neighbors to push the mill in turn. It was finished in a short time!
A big pot of vegetable residue is out of the pot. I remember my grandmother would bring bowls to neighbors and help blind date taste them. The charming fragrance of bean, coriander and bean curd is really fragrant!
The vegetable residue is ready. Chop a bowl of tiger food with coriander, roasted pepper, cooked peanuts and garlic. Even if young people who don't like to eat dregs come to a bowl, they will shout delicious!
Vegetable dregs can be eaten as a meal, as a snack, and served with spicy tiger dishes. Men feel refreshed after drinking a little wine!
Life in the country is slow and nostalgic. I remember grandpa must sum up a few words after dinner. On the whole, now is a good day, which I never dreamed of. People who used to starve to death because they didn't have enough to eat now eat better than the landlords, so people should be satisfied. Always say this, say the beginning, and I will know the end. But my mother won't let me interrupt my grandfather's summary and let him finish what he wants to say every day before clearing the table.
Only children from rural areas know the value of food, but for a long time, I didn't eat dregs. I call dregs dessert, not to mention making them. Grandma said that people who don't like slag can fry it in oil like cooking, which will taste better than when it is out of the pot.
Perhaps the taste of vegetable residue is too ordinary, not as delicious as cooking, not as sweet as rice steamed bread, it is just an ordinary rural food. Older people can't forget their memories, and they can't forget the delicious food in their memories!
Every autumn, radishes, mustard greens and carrots are pulled out, and a large number of tassels are thrown into the ground. How can you let the green radish tassels rot in the ground? Grandma can make pickles besides dregs, and dry tassels and cook them in winter. I think grandma's generation has suffered too much. I really admire the indomitable wisdom of our older generation in dealing with the natural disaster of hunger.
Occasionally, aunts ride electric tricycles to sell dregs in the street, and many people who love this taste buy them to eat. I once saw a Korean couple eating with relish in the commercial street. They also went to buy a bowl, took a bite and smiled at each other, then put the bowl on the booth and left!
Nowadays, many people eat too much, and they are all meat and fish. These things stimulate people's desire to eat every day. The more you eat, the more you want to eat these delicious meats. Many people have started to eat healthy vegetarian food. With the continuous growth of age, this ancient way of eating "slag" will probably only become an indelible memory.
I heard that the vegetable residue is very full, and you can eat enough after eating a small bowl, which has the effect of losing weight! Can I get you a bowl of vegetable residue?
