Let persistence become a habit [Fried Lotus Root Balls]

Overview

I took a five-day family leave in advance on November 1 and went back to my hometown with my whole family. The excitement of returning home and the fatigue of running around quickly passed by for a month. I haven’t written a blog or taken photos for a long time. The one I posted now and the one I posted before were all taken by me before. I saw this paragraph on Weibo two days ago and I really believed it. [21-day effect] A good habit can be formed in 21 days. Why don’t you give it a try? The first stage: about 1-7 days. This stage is deliberate and unnatural, and you need to remind yourself very deliberately. The second stage: about 7-21 days. This stage is deliberate and natural, but it also requires conscious control. The third stage: around 21-90 days, this stage is inadvertent, natural, and does not require conscious control. Before the National Day holiday, I always thought about shooting or writing something every once in a while, but I didn’t write for a few days. When I didn’t shoot, I always felt that something was not done, and I felt like something was missing. I haven’t moved for almost a month during the National Day holiday. During this time, I can’t muster the interest to write or take photos. It seems that I still need to persist and make it really become a habit. This fried lotus root ball is also what I prepare for my usual breakfast at work. I always got tired of the steamed buns after a long time, so I thought about changing it. When I went to the market that day and saw piles of lotus roots, I thought of lotus root balls. You can't buy these kinds of dumplings outside now. It is a kind of food that was often cooked at home during the Chinese New Year when we were young. During the Chinese New Year, we would always fry fried dough sticks, steam steamed buns and steamed buns, and fry some lotus root balls when frying the fried dough sticks. This lotus root ball is always the most popular and is often the first thing to be eaten at home. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's even chewier when steamed the next day, and I still want to eat it after eating one. For fried lotus root balls, you can first use slightly older lotus roots. During the Chinese New Year, every household will buy some lotus roots. There will always be an older section at the end of a series of lotus roots, which is not easy to stew. We will use this section to fry the lotus root balls first. The lotus roots here are all old and tender, large and small ones are sold separately, so I chose the slightly older ones. They are really good quality and cheap. My mother and husband both said the fried lotus roots were good. They watched the large plate steamed every morning and they were all sold out. I was very happy. They liked it, which is my greatest happiness!
