I like to eat instant noodles like this
Text/Hou Wang
I was lazy in the morning, so I didn't prepare much for Xiaohou early. When I opened the refrigerator, I suddenly found that it was basically to the point of "running out of food", and only half of the oil cake and three bean bags I bought in the supermarket last Sunday were still lying there. pondered back and forth, the bean bun was taken out and put on the ground and tossed twice, what should the two of them eat this morning? Let's go out and buy some, the options are countable, and the appetite is not very good. Ideological struggle for two minutes, or eat bean buns, which give people a slightly healthier feeling than oil cakes. But what to go with, just drinking yogurt will feel cold in the stomach, in Zhangjiakou's words, it is "not into the sticker". After two more minutes of ideological struggle, looking at the ticking hands of the clock, I decided to cook a bowl of chicken stewed mushroom instant noodles that both father and son enjoyed.
Speaking of instant noodles, it is indeed my favorite since I was a child, maybe in the post-80s era, like us in ordinary people in the countryside, instant noodles can almost often appear in my own menu, hungry to cook noodles, hungry to chew a little noodles, bored may also pull a bag of noodles. When I was in elementary school, in order to accumulate Water Margin cards, I used my hard-earned pocket money to stock up on two boxes of small masters at the small shop at the school gate and ate them every day. Maybe that's why my dad said I had Henoch-Schonlein purpura in 2002, and he always said he suspected that I was eating too much instant noodles.
When I was eating noodles with Xiaohou, I once again shared my recipe for eating instant noodles with my children. I couldn't help but instigate Xiaohou several times, I said that you use chopsticks to wrap around like a father, roll him a large bundle of noodles, and after a little cooling, the snoring mouth is all dry, and the satisfaction in your mouth is full of noodles, it's so refreshing. If you put a little spice such as garlic sauce and garlic vinegar on the noodles, it will be a great taste. Xiao Hou has tried it a few times before, but his noodles are not dried thoroughly enough, and his mouth has been scalded a few times, so he will always be persuaded to quit by my instant noodle eating Dafa in the later stage.
It was at this point that I suddenly remembered some of my father's previous little habits of eating, and I casually chatted with the child about his grandfather's affairs. After chatting, I have an urge to write these down, maybe it is also the stimulation of reading Mr. Shen Congwen's book "Life to the Daylight" recently, I just want to move this pen that I have not used to record life for a long time.
You can tell me about me, but to be honest, I don't know what kind of character I am. You say I'm emotionally rich, but I have vague memories of my childhood and past experiences, and I have very few impressions of the bits and pieces of my family's life. You say I'm emotionally indifferent, but I'm a serious family lover to a certain extent, so I can't see through myself all the time.
I don't have many memories of living with my dad, when I was a child, my dad used to go out to the sports car, and there were six or seven times out of ten when he was not at home. After that, I went out to school all the way, and the two of us didn't spend a long time together. Dad's little habit of eating may be big enough for me, who has been a foodie since I was a child, enough to be able to remember a few points to this day. Continuing with the topic of instant noodles, my dad likes to eat instant noodles like this - a bag of noodles is completely crushed and kneaded into slag, the seasoning is poured into it and shaken it well, and then a piece of paper is found to spread it flat, and all the crushed and crushed noodles are poured onto the paper, and then eaten with his hands. There have been several times when we have been like this, you grab a bite and I will grab a handful, and watch TV while eating. Maybe the chopped instant noodles are more flavorful to eat on paper, or maybe the father is simply to make it more convenient to eat crisp noodles with his son, but this is unknown.
Dad eats boiled eggs and dumplings with his own unique way of eating. Most people may like to dip dumplings in vinegar, but my dad likes to eat them with soy sauce. At first, I wasn't very used to it, but I ate more and saw more, and then later, whenever our family ate dumplings and boiled eggs, I consciously took the initiative to pour soy sauce into the bowl for my father. Dad is a sufferer, often hungry and full, when we eat our big dumplings, I can eat more than 40 in one meal, I often marvel at Dad's appetite. When I think back to high school and junior high school, when I was half a child, I ate about 25 on average, and the amount of food was far less than that of my father. To this day, when I usually eat boiled eggs by myself, I usually bite into a small gap, then pick up a soy sauce bottle and fill the egg with soy sauce like grout. I have a strong taste for food, so I am afraid that I am also deeply influenced by my father.
There is another scene that impresses me deeply, that is, every Chinese New Year, when my father eats melon seeds, he always takes a piece of fruit candy wrapped in plastic paper in his mouth in advance. Dad told me that eating melon seeds like this has a special taste. Later, slowly, I sometimes chew a piece of fruit candy when eating melon seeds, and indeed the feeling of fruit candy sweetness and salty melon seeds is impressive, and I have to let Xiaohou try it if I have the opportunity. Dad's "little habits" in eating always allowed me to break new ground and discover new continents, and now I think back on it, and I feel very interesting......
Hearty, hearty! Taking advantage of the gap between sending Xiaohou to school in the morning, he sat quietly on the desk alone, scribbled down this content, in one go, thousands of miles, and felt really comfortable and comfortable in my heart!
