Double-ear longan and red date soup

Overview

I have been keeping an eye on Taobao recently, and finally waited until Qingtuan was put on the shelves, so I quickly placed an order to buy some. Qingtuan is a unique cake dumpling in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even in today's developed society with the omnipotent Taobao, Qingtuan is still only available on the market before Qingming Festival. When I had Qingtuan for the first time in Nanjing, I fell in love with this small cake that was as fragrant as green grass. It is the color and taste of spring, which no matter how expensive matcha powder is, cannot be compared. Its faint green grass smell is so natural and fresh, as if it is stained with field dew, and has a unique aura of heaven and earth. Perhaps, I was from Jiangnan in my previous life, so I could love the scenery, people, food, and food of Jiangnan so passionately, and I would miss her so much when we were apart, and would always be haunted in my dreams. Jiangnan dream, no matter who sends it, the bowl of soup and jade dew will touch my heart. For a long time, I have always stewed a pot of rock sugar and white fungus pears every few days to nourish myself and my mother. Drinking a bowl of rock sugar sweet soup, you feel like you are in the south of the Yangtze River. However, spring has arrived, and although there are still pears to buy, it is difficult to buy high-quality pears. This time, I used fungus to stew with white fungus, which has the effect of increasing qi, activating blood, moistening the lungs and nourishing the skin. Snow-white white fungus and jade-like fungus lie quietly on the clear and transparent sweet soup, coupled with dark red dates, longan that turns light brown after being stewed, and bright red wolfberry, and golden osmanthus blooms in the middle. This way, it is like the beautiful scenery and tenderness of the south of the Yangtze River. The body has not arrived but the heart has arrived. The Jiangnan in the dream is slightly completed by a bowl of sweet and tender longan and red date soup...
