Braised Pork Belly with Daylily
Overview
The temperature in Chongqing has been soaring recently, and it feels like you will melt on the road if you are not careful. Cai Cai Roof is cooking in the scorching heat. Sometimes it’s really strange. It’s also 37 or 8 degrees. Why wasn’t I afraid of the heat when I was a kid? The scorching sun above my head would scratch the shells of cicadas, catch bamboo insects, and dig sweet potatoes (a wild fruit). At that time, there was only joy, not heat. Summer nights are a paradise for fireflies, dancing twinklingly in the sky. Stepping under the moonlight, with your hands together and hanging in the air, it is a good capture vessel. Then put the caught fireflies in a plastic bottle and fall asleep with a pillow as bright as a star. In addition to fireflies, I also like to carry a basket to the roadside to pick day lilies. Every summer, wild daylilies rush to grow on the roadside. Adults say that the most delicious part of daylilies is the flower buds. If they bloom completely, they will be old. So we, a group of children, always like to stare at the day lilies beside the grass when we pass by, for fear that the flowers will suddenly bloom and they will not be able to eat fresh. At that time, I didn’t know that I was a flower-picking thief. My mother would blanch the day lilies picked from the roadside in boiling water and then soak them in clean water for a long time. It is said that this will not cause poisoning. At that time, I didn’t know what colchicine was, I just knew it was what my parents taught me. A bowl of daylily noodles and a poached egg is a delicious dinner. In fact, daylily also has a nice name called Wangyoucao. Ji Kang's "Health Preservation Theory" says: Albizia julibrissin is angry, and Hemerocallis is called Wangyoucao in the old world. Maybe after the delicious food, all the worries will disappear. Regular consumption of daylily can clear away heat, diuresis, diuresis, strengthen the stomach and digestion, improve eyesight, soothe the nerves, and stop bleeding. It can also moisturize the skin, enhance the toughness and elasticity of the skin, make the skin tender, plump, smooth and soft, reduce wrinkles, fade spots, and increase beauty.
