What do rural people eat in winter?

With the arrival of winter, we will feel cold hands and feet. Winter is very disliked by many people. After all, it can freeze into a strip of snow when going out in such cold weather. Well, winter is not that cold in many rural areas. After all, the heart is always warm when so many people are together.

In rural areas, many people sit together in winter. Generally, everyone works or eats together, and eating is something rural people often do in winter, because it can It is very convenient to eat and keep warm. Grilled glutinous rice cakes are also a favorite of many people. The baked glutinous rice cakes are very fragrant and delicious.

I don’t know if you have ever eaten frozen rice. Why is it called frozen rice? It’s because this rice really needs to be frozen. Only in this way can it taste delicious. In winter This kind of frozen rice is a must-eat, but not many people know how to make it now.

There is also this old-fashioned popcorn, which is really the memory of many people. I always feel that the old-fashioned popcorn in the past is more delicious, and the taste is different from the current one. It's the same, and when I popped popcorn in the past, there were always a lot of people coming to buy it.

Many of them are memories from the past, but these are what the countryside looked like during the winter in the past. Most of them are not like this now, because life in most places has become better now. I don’t know about this. Have you ever experienced this?

This is what I’m asking, let’s eat! [laugh][laugh][laugh]

In the Northeast, every family has pure pork and sauerkraut, and sauerkraut and meat dumplings

In our rural areas, basically every household has a cellar for storing vegetables in winter. In winter, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, etc. are stored in the cellar to prepare for eating fresh vegetables in winter. In recent years, due to the rise of greenhouses, fresh vegetables in winter are not inferior to those in cities. Tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, etc. are in sufficient supply. Although farmers can eat fresh vegetables at any time, it is the greenhouses that mess up the season.

Pork, chicken and duck are served to the distinguished guests,

Carrots, potatoes and sauerkraut.

Dried cucumbers and eggplants,

Cabbage and tofu are my favorite.

In the past, rural people ate saved cabbage, potatoes, radish, tofu, vermicelli, cornmeal pancakes, and millet in winter. Now that conditions have improved, their living conditions will be much better than in the past.

In the past, rural people basically grew their own radishes and cabbages, pickled sauerkraut and pickles in the winter, and used corn or rice as staple food to make various kinds of dry rice, dry food, porridge and the like. Now they eat almost the same as what people in the city eat. .

Rural people have a relatively leisurely life in winter, with cold weather and short days and only two meals a day.

In my hometown, Yuanping District, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, let me slowly tell you what rural people eat in winter.

Rural people live a simple life and are never willing to eat big fish and meat, especially since the price of pork has been soaring this year. Potatoes, cabbage, and radishes are the daily favorite dishes of rural people. They are cheap and easy to preserve. Occasionally, they cook some vermicelli and cut a few pieces of meat to eat. Rural people in our area always love to eat pure sesame oil. Wash and chop cabbage, potatoes, radishes, beans and day lilies that are dried in the autumn, then fry them with vermicelli and sesame oil to make a stew. It is the most delicious dish for rural people. Of course, add some The meat would be better with some tofu.

In the past, the staple food of farmers in our area was sorghum noodles, fish, and stir-fried beans. It was considered good if it could fill you up. It is the wish of the whole family to have a meal of white flour dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Times have changed now, and the daily meals have become white flour and rice. You can also eat white noodles in different ways, such as steamed buns, dry noodles, dumplings and steamed buns. On the contrary, the stir-fried beans, sorghum noodles, fish and fish became a rare meal, and eating whole grains became an improvement in life.

In rural areas, the only food that has not changed is porridge. Regardless of winter, autumn, spring or summer, the indispensable part of breakfast every day is the porridge made from millet, which we call "gruel". The millet porridge is boiled with potatoes, and you eat a bowl and scoop it out.

Winter is the most leisurely time for rural people. As long as you are willing to do the hard work, you can eat something different every day, such as steamed buns, chrome cakes, dumplings, noodles, wowo, fish, ge zhua, and fried dough sticks. , sesame leaves, mixed soup, as well as tsa tsa, cakes, and simmering. There is a saying in the countryside that is accurate, "If you want to eat differently, you must not be afraid of being busy."

You are welcome to come to the countryside and have a taste of the tricks of the rural people.

Generally speaking, there are slight differences between the north and the south. Nowadays, living conditions in rural areas have been greatly improved. As long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of off-season vegetables at township markets. However, traditional living habits are still the main ones. In southern rural areas, they generally eat radish, red cabbage, pickles, cabbage, small green vegetables, small fish, tofu, and dried vegetables. They can be eaten stir-fried or rinsed in hot pot; People in the north generally eat potatoes, vermicelli, Chinese cabbage, radish, etc. How to eat: Stew with Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, radish, tofu and other hodgepodge.

We here like to hang around the fire pit in winter. While warming up the fire, we will bake some food to eat. The most famous one is "fire pond wine". In the past, the way to eat "Huotang Wine" was very simple. After the fire was hot, throw some potatoes into the firepit, then put on a bowl of wine, and drink while the fire was heating. The dish to go with the wine was roasted potatoes.

If there are many people warming up by the fire, the wine bowls will be placed in a circle along the fire pit. Everyone drinks and chats, and the atmosphere of "fire pond wine" will soon reach a climax.

Nowadays, we also drink "Huotang Wine", but the ingredients have changed. Not only roasted potatoes, but also barbecued meat, grilled fish, and grilled vegetables. "Huotang Wine" has become eating barbecue. This is a food culture created when people warm themselves over the fire in the cold winter.

With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the diet of rural people is also changing. Now let's share with you the food we eat in winter.

1. Shabu-boiled mutton

Everyone knows that mutton is high in calories, so it is best to eat mutton in the cold winter. First blanch the mutton, take it out and wait for later use, then start to stir-fry the hot pot base ingredients. After the base ingredients are fried, add water to the mutton and simmer it slowly. After the lamb is cooked, you can add your favorite fresh vegetables. I especially like mushrooms and potatoes. If there are many people making mutton-shabu-shabu, it is best to invite your relatives and friends to add ingredients to it while eating. When eating, you must start quickly. If you wait until it is cooked until it is cooked, you will not be able to taste the freshness of the ingredients. It would be best if you can drink alcohol, because mutton is hot and wine can keep out the cold. Coupled with the heat of the scalding hot pot, the cold winter will suddenly become warmer.

2. Stewed Goose

The cold winter brings a lot of damage to your vitality. This is a good time to stew the goose, because the goose can nourish your damaged vitality. return. The older the goose, the more nutritious it is. Chop the slaughtered goose into pieces and stew it directly in clear soup. This is the most common way to eat it here. You only need to add ginger, amomum villosum and an appropriate amount of salt for seasoning. Stewing goose also requires low heat. Young geese will not be stewed for too long, but older geese will take more time. I think the most important thing when eating goose is to drink the soup, because during the stew process, the nutrients of the goose have been absorbed into the soup. Drinking a few bowls of goose soup in the cold winter will instantly make you rejuvenated. His mental state quickly recovered.

3. Seasonal vegetables

You will definitely get tired of eating meat every day. Rural people also need vegetables in winter. It doesn’t snow here in winter, so the variety of vegetables is still pretty good. There are abundant vegetables such as radish, cabbage, tomatoes, beans, etc. Among these vegetables, I like to eat fried beans the most. Add lard oil, add some bean paste, stir-fry, and then put the blanched beans into the pot. In, stir-fry for a few minutes and it’s ready to eat. Fried beans and a bowl of white rice are really delicious. Of course, there is another dish that I have to mention, and that is the Chinese people’s favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The tomatoes are grown by ourselves, and the eggs are wood-fired eggs produced by our own hens. The taste of the fried dishes is different, no matter where you go. Not as delicious as the ones at home.

4. Snacks

Staying at home in winter is very boring, so it is inevitable to eat snacks to pass the time. It happens that the big pumpkins from the autumn harvest and winter storage are piled at home, so it is time to use them. Knife. Cut a big pumpkin and there are melon seeds inside. Take out the melon seeds and find a place to dry them for a few days. Then they will dry. When it’s time to eat, grab a bowl and fry them in a pot until they are ready for the winter. snack. When you have nothing to do, put some on the fruit plate and eat melon seeds while watching TV. Peanuts are indispensable among the crops harvested in autumn. Dried peanuts fried with shells are also a good snack. Fried peanuts are fragrant and crispy, and can also be used as a meal.

Summary

In winter, rural people eat relatively abundant food. It can be said that they can eat whatever they want. Seasonal changes can no longer interfere with the lives of rural people. Because China is now entering an era when the country is strong and the people are safe, a dazzling array of commodities provides a strong backing for people's lives. Rural people now not only need to eat well, but also pay more attention to eating healthily. Therefore, the food they eat in winter tends to be high in calories and nutritious.
