I think I can have one to boil.

These things are all in the water, and they must have been eaten by the poor at the earliest, focusing on a cheap and inexpensive and fishy one.

Later, it gradually became a popular delicacy in Beijing because it was liked by many people. In the 90s, the stew at the southeast corner of the west end of Gui Street lined up every day. In the evening, many of the lords who drove the big run came to eat. At that time, it was only about 10 yuan a bowl. Later, that one was gone, and many people went to the braised cooking shop in Beixinqiao, which was more than 20 bowls a few years ago, and it was okay.

Some time ago, I went to the old shop in Dongsi on a whim and ate it, 48 a bowl, it tasted weird. After a closer look, I suddenly realized that there are many tourists around, and I know the original ** and taste of boiling. It is estimated that when I think about it, I will unconsciously have to say: there is no food in Beijing!

Shepherd's cabbage, also known as ground vegetables, wild vegetables. In the years of poverty and hunger, in those barren fields, those people digging wild vegetables are no longer seen.

Dumplings and scrambled eggs are delicious.

Toon, once considered a home-cooked ingredient for ordinary people, has now become a luxury delicacy on the spring table. In many parts of China, especially in the north, toon was once a regular fixture on the spring dinner table in many families, and was once synonymous with food for the poor because of its ease of cultivation and rapid growth.

Toon (scientific name: toona sinensis), a plant belonging to the genus Toon in the neem family, has a unique fragrance for its young shoots and young leaves, and is one of the traditional Chinese wild vegetables. In the spring, when everything is coming back to life, the toon sprouts, and people pick the delicate tops to use as an ingredient in cooking. Its unique aroma and the slight bitterness left in the mouth make toon a unique condiment and ingredient.

Toon contains a variety of vitamins and minerals and has a certain nutritional value. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that toon is warm and spicy, and has the effects of dissipating cold, promoting qi and relieving pain. In the folk, toon is also used for cold, rheumatism and joint pain.

However, with the passage of time and socio-economic development, the status of toon is also quietly changing. On the one hand, with the acceleration of urbanization, there is less land available for planting, and there are fewer and fewer toon trees, which makes toon more and more precious; On the other hand, the demand for natural wild ingredients has increased due to the increased demand for healthy eating. Therefore, the ** of toon is rising year by year, and it is gradually "upgraded" from the table of ordinary people to a delicacy in high-end restaurants.

In contemporary catering culture, toon is more precious because of its strong seasonality and short period. Chefs add toon as a garnish to delicate dishes, whether it's tofu toad, scrambled eggs, or paired with other seafood and meats, it makes people feel the breath of spring. In addition, toon can also be made into sauces or pickles to extend its flavor life.

A few days ago, I went to the market to take a look, and a pound is already hundreds of yuan, and I really can't afford to eat.
