New Year's Memory
I remember when I was a child, my family's housing conditions were limited, and the three families had to share a kitchen. Since this shared kitchen is relatively small, everyone is crowded every time they cook. By the time of the Chinese New Year, the kitchen was even more cramped. Because at that time, there were no ready-made New Year's goods to buy, so everyone bought raw peanuts, melon seeds and other fried goods at home and fried them themselves. In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the three families are crowded in the 3-4 square meter kitchen at the same time, each frying their own New Year's goods, so lively. From afar, you can hear the sound of the pot when everyone is frying New Year's goods. In an instant, the communal kitchen suddenly became hot, and the strong smell of the New Year filled the whole kitchen, and I suddenly felt the smell that can only be found during the New Year.
Of course, this is also the busiest time for mothers. In addition to frying New Year's goods, she also has to cook vegetables, steam fish, fried spring rolls, and fried lobster slices. In addition, she also bought maltose, peanuts and black sesame seeds to make her own sesame peanut candy, and also bought flour and yeast to make her own steamed buns. I was fascinated by the strong smell of the New Year brought to me by my mother, and I thought to myself, how nice it would be if I could celebrate the New Year every day!
One of the things I still remember is that I stole maltose, because the maltose will be pulled into a filament, so when I ate it, I accidentally stuck to my clothes, which made my mother cry and laugh. So as soon as the sesame candy was ready, he quickly cut me a few pieces to satisfy my cravings, which made me very happy.
The taste of the New Year brought to me by all these mothers seems to have happened yesterday, and I still remember it vividly.
Everyone is welcome to share the flavor of the New Year in your memory.
