To moisturize and moisten dryness in autumn---Bitter vegetable small intestine soup
Bitter cabbage is cold in nature, bitter in taste, and non-toxic. It is a wild plant that has both medicinal and edible uses. Its medicinal name is Sophora vulgaris. Fresh bitter vegetables can be eaten in the same way as Malantou. It can be eaten cold or stir-fried. The tender leaves of bitter herbs contain a variety of amino acids. Eating more of them can help enhance the body's immunity and promote brain development. Regular consumption of bitter vegetables also has the functions of losing weight, nourishing the skin, relieving summer heat, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Bitter vegetable decoction also has an inhibitory effect on blood cell deoxygenase in patients with acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia. After all, the pig's small intestine is located in the lower part of the digestive tract, so it must be washed clean. It took me a long time to mix it with salt and flour. The small intestine is at the lower end of the pork belly and has twists and turns, which makes it even more difficult. If it cannot be washed clean, the odor will not be suppressed no matter how much garlic juice or chili is added. The small intestine should be boiled until it is soft and soft. It should not be chewed like a rubber band and cannot be swallowed. However, the surface layer and the inner layer should not be completely separated and fall off. Boil the small intestine until it is soft, remove it and cut it into sections.

Honeysuckle and red date tea
After autumn, it is easy to get angry and have a sore throat. In addition to stewing rock sugar and snow pear, honeysuckle and red date tea is also often taken. Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, is extremely cold-tolerant. There is a farmer's proverb: waterlogging kills crops and drought kills grass, freezes kill pomegranates and sunburns melons, but honeysuckle will not be affected. Because it is white when it first blooms and turns yellow later, it is named honeysuckle. It is a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can be used in various herbal teas, turtle paste and other fire-reducing foods. It is also easy to consume. Even if you just make tea and drink it, it has a good effect. The red dates I bought recently were not from a brand I often eat. The meat was not firm and the taste was not good when eaten alone. I just want to drink honeysuckle tea, so I add red dates, some tangerine peel, licorice and wolfberry to make the tea taste richer and sweeter. A cup of honeysuckle and red date tea has a leisurely aroma of grass, medicine, dates, and sweetness. The rich and dark tea soup makes people feel warm and stable just by looking at it, and it makes the throat particularly comfortable when drinking it. Maybe it's because I watched "Dae Jang Geum" again recently, and I feel that Honeysuckle is actually a lot like her, strong, patient, and kind to others. No matter how cold winter is, she can endure it, and endure it again, until the warm spring comes... This time she used a Hamilton Beach portable slow cooker to stew soups without spilling water or drying out the pot. No one is required to watch the fire when stewing, which is very convenient. And the shape of the ingredients is kept intact. After the red dates are stewed this time, they absorb the water and appear very plump without breaking the skin, unlike ordinary stew pots that sometimes burst the skin.

Wild vegetables are nutritious - stir-fried gray vegetables
This is a dish I made a long time ago, and I have compiled it to share with you today. I went back to my hometown on May 1st and found some gray vegetables that were growing particularly well in my yard. They were green and tender and very attractive. These are truly pure natural green foods with no pesticide residues and no pollution. I immediately shoveled some and brought them back to Xi'an. After returning to Xi'an, I put the Huihui vegetables in the refrigerator and forgot about them. On the weekend, when I was cleaning out the refrigerator, I took it out and saw that it was still crispy and very fresh. They immediately started picking, washing and blanching. After a few minutes, a plate of delicious and refreshing wild vegetables was brought to the table. After taking a bite, everyone praised: it tastes really good! Thinking about living in the countryside when I was a child, every spring was the time of drought, but the dining table at home was always changing. Today it’s shepherd’s purse, tomorrow it’s white mugwort sprouts, and the day after tomorrow it might be gray cabbage, or tender Qianho millet seedlings. All this is because there is a hard-working mother in the family, who can always use her hard-working hands to create a variety of delicious food.

【Chrysanthemum tea for improving eyesight】---the happiness in one-third of an acre
I was born in the countryside. I like the vegetable garden in front of my hometown, the seedling bamboo forest in front of my hometown, the small fish pond in front of my hometown, the small river in front of my hometown, and the tea mountain not far from my home... Since I was a child, I have always liked a house with a yard in front of my house, where I can plant flowers and raise grass. I can enjoy the shade in the summer and enjoy the moon in the autumn. This year I also planted some chrysanthemums in my yard, which bloom beautifully. When they are in full bloom, as soon as I open the door, I can smell the fragrance of the flowers. Looking at the elegant flowers, I can't help but be intoxicated by them. When I was picking with the children, I laughed while talking, and smelled while picking. This small piece of land brought me the joy of golden autumn and the happiness of harvest.

Seize the tail of spring【Stewed Pork Steak with Spring Bamboo Shoots】
After Guyu, the spring bamboo shoots will be old! Spring bamboo shoots are eaten from early March to the end of April every year. The spring bamboo shoots during the spring equinox are fragrant and crisp, slightly bitter, and have a sweet aftertaste. Spring bamboo shoots are very seasonal. March and April are the seasons to eat spring bamboo shoots. They cannot be eaten after Grain Rain. The Jingzhe and Spring Equinox in March, the Tomb Sweeping Festival and Grain Rain in April make the weather gradually warmer, with the first sound of spring thunder until day and night are equal in length, and the grass grows and orioles fly. In the last solar term of spring, Grain Rain, the cold wave weather basically ends, and the temperature rise accelerates, which is greatly conducive to the growth of cereal crops. At this time, spring bamboo shoots will also quickly grow into bamboo, ending its short food career of a year. The bowl of spring bamboo shoots soup that I’m stewing today was brought back by the child’s grandfather, Guyu, the day before. There was a big bag full, and the skins were already peeled off! In the next few days, it is estimated that the dining table at home will become a world of bamboo shoots.........!
