Nowadays, greenhouse vegetables are planted in greenhouses, and many vegetables have been planted out of season. My husband buys food every day and sometimes asks me for advice on what to eat. Whenever I ask what I want to eat, if it is out of season, he will remind me not to eat or eat less. He thinks it is best to eat local seasonal vegetables. I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time, but I have forgotten what to cook in many seasons.
Eating from time to time, from Confucius' The Analects? The tenth of the township party means to let nature take its course and eat in season. When to eat.
Mei, the author of Solar Kitchen, is also a gourmet. He tells recipes and stories through his half-life experience. By talking about the health of the 24 solar terms, he reminded readers to use the solar terms to adjust their daily life and diet, and to choose the corresponding drinking and eating methods healthily, naturally and simply, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
In fact, in many parts of our country, working people have their own dietary customs in the solar terms. This custom continues in rural areas, but in towns, many people don't eat according to the custom!
Watching Solar Kitchen made me feel a strong festive atmosphere. Each solar term has different recipes and different dishes, which reminds me of my childhood. At that time, the festive atmosphere was the strongest and most festive. The smell of the kitchen is actually the smell of home. When the kitchen is started, home is a complete home. Food needs to be cooked in the kitchen. The small kitchen plays a great role.
"Solar Kitchen" started in beginning of spring according to the 24 solar terms. Through the author's memory, it tells the story of solar terms, tells the relevant knowledge of solar terms, and is accompanied by some foods made of seasonal ingredients, and introduces its health care function in detail. Some health knowledge is interspersed among them, which is very beneficial to read.
In Tomb-Sweeping Day, people in my hometown like to make Baba with mugwort leaves. Now it's called "Youth League". When I was a child, I was greedy, but it tasted good. I thought it was just a custom in my hometown. Now, after reading "Solar Stove", I understand that the mugwort leaves in the Qingming Festival have the top tender Yang Qi, which can nourish the liver qi best. Joining the "youth league" made by Artemisia argyi has the value of health preservation.
The child caught a cold and coughed a few days ago. A friend introduced Qiuli ointment, which is good for clearing lung-heat, relieving cough and resolving phlegm. Children's cough is effective, so I bought it and tried it. Children also like sweet food. Sometimes I eat like this, and sometimes I drink with warm water. It really works. Just stick to it for a week and don't take cough medicine.
It turns out that this is an ancient prescription, and the prescription prescribed by our ancestors more than 1000 years ago still plays a huge role today. Autumn pears are ripe and fragrant, which is a good time to cook autumn pear cream. The author reminds readers that cream is also a tonic and cannot be used as a drink. It seems that I was wrong and couldn't give the children more food.
Moon cakes are indispensable for Mid-Autumn Festival. When I was a child, I didn't like to eat Wuren moon cakes, but I liked to eat soft bean paste moon cakes and onion-flavored moon cakes. My sister, father and mother all think Wuren moon cake is a good moon cake. Today, Wuren moon cake is still my mother's favorite, but my dear father has passed away and can no longer share the delicious moon cake with us. Walnuts, melon seeds, almonds and pine nuts in Wuren moon cakes can nourish the lungs when autumn dryness hurts the lungs.
After reading the book Solar Kitchen, I also want to learn to cook seasonal dishes with a 24-solar diet. Don't eat from time to time, this is the real life.
