On a quiet afternoon, the sun shines through the cracks in the curtains and onto the slightly old dining table. A steaming bowl of stew sits on the table, next to a plate of seemingly ordinary but emotionally charged vermicelli. They lie there quietly, waiting for an encounter with the stew, releasing an intoxicating flavor.
Vermicelli, a seemingly ordinary food, plays a pivotal role in the arena of Chinese cuisine. However, today we do not praise its deliciousness from the front, but explore the unknown feelings of vermicelli from the side.
I remember when I was a child, every time I made a stew at home, my mother would always take out a packet of vermicelli and gently put it into the hot soup. At that time, I was always curious to walk around the stove, watching the noodles slowly soften and become transparent in the soup, and eventually merged with the stew. Whenever this happens, my mother would smile and say, "Vermicelli is like us in life, we need to go through some grinds and setbacks to become more tenacious and delicious." ”
As I grew older, I gradually understood my mother's words. Vermicelli is not only a food, but also an emotional sustenance. It bears witness to the warmth and harmony of the family, and carries the mother's love and expectations for the family. Every time I taste vermicelli, I can recall those happy times when I sat around the table with my family, as if I had stepped back in time and relived those beautiful moments.
In addition to family, vermicelli also bears the imprint of regional culture. Different parts of China have different preparation methods and flavors. The vermicelli in the north is mainly potato starch, and the taste is chewy and chewy; The southern vermicelli is mainly sweet potato starch and has a soft and delicate taste. These different flavors are the embodiment of the unique emotions of people everywhere for vermicelli.
In this fast-paced society, perhaps we should learn to slow down and savor every detail of life. When we pick up the steaming bowl of stew again, we might as well keep an eye out for the obscure vermicelli. They may not boast out about their deliciousness, but they can inadvertently touch our hearts and make us feel the beauty and warmth of life.
