Essay on spicy taste of sea pepper

When I was a child, there was a popular saying in my hometown: the more Hongshan medicine dipped in sea pepper, the fatter it grew. At that time, almost every family ate red sweet potatoes, steamed, stuffy, boiled and burned in different ways, and the "sweetness" was still strong. The newly cooked sweet potato is bright yellow. Dig a hole in the middle, put a spoonful of sea pepper sauce and eat. A whirring breath, unconsciously, a pot of sweet potato entered the family's stomach.

I'm tired of eating big fish and meat, let alone sweet potatoes. Eating for a long time is naturally boring. But at that time, the villagers were poor and there was nothing at home except red peony. Filling the stomach is important, followed by taste. Everyone has to put the unpalatable sweet potato into his mouth with the delicious taste of the dish. This is called "coaxing rice", that is, coaxing unpalatable rice into your stomach with the nature of deception. But there are not many vegetables, sometimes only sea peppers. Sea pepper is a good material for next meal, and its function lies in its spicy taste. When people's tongues are overwhelmed, Hongshan medicine is like a third party to rescue. Generally, it is swallowed in a hurry without chewing carefully. That situation is like a trap set by sea pepper and tongue to deal with sweet potato.

The word spicy appeared earlier in China. Guangya: "Spicy, pungent." Popular literature: "Xin is very spicy." But the spicy taste at this time refers to pepper, ginger, dogwood and so on. This has nothing to do with the taste of sea pepper. Because sea pepper originated in South America, it was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. Originally called "lost pepper", it was later changed to pepper because of its spicy taste, and Sichuanese called it sea pepper.

Sea pepper improves the speed, depth and breadth of spicy food. It looks like a flame, which itself gives people a sense of movement. When eating, the spicy taste is more like lightning, which instantly splits the dull and dark part of your taste and even awakens the cells in the most remote corner of your body. However, sea pepper is not incompatible with traditional spices in China. On the contrary, sometimes they are well combined. For example, when it is combined with pepper, it produces a spicy taste, which is stronger and more fierce. Pepper is only in a subordinate position in spicy food, such as a follower of pepper, which manages the relationship between pepper and pepper, such as paralyzing taste buds. , make the taste of sea pepper more overbearing and so on.

In addition to spicy, there are spicy, sour and spicy, spicy red oil flavor, fish flavor, strange flavor, home-cooked flavor and so on, all of which are branches of spicy. The spicy taste of sea pepper has sharp ingredients, impetuous and reckless. Synthetic spicy food is different. Spicy is smart, spicy at home is gentle and sincere, spicy in red oil is vigorous and generous, spicy in paste is foolish, and spicy in sauce is full of poetry. ...

Eating sea pepper is a delicious food. Only people with good oral tolerance can truly understand the taste, hierarchy, branches and connotation of sea pepper. People's breakthrough and understanding of sea pepper seems to correspond to their understanding of all aspects of life.

Sea pepper, some people borrow it to compare people. Wang Xifeng in A Dream of Red Mansions is nicknamed Feng Chili. But in Sichuan, girls are hot girls, which means hot and passionate. Time flies in the fields, and in the summer dew and autumn frost, these peasant girls mature for the second time. Finally, they all have to wear bright red dresses. These little beauties, embedded in the deep and shallow green leaves in the countryside, are full of laughter. Don't they have the ripe taste of sea pepper?

In rural areas, sea pepper can be planted from early summer to late autumn. A frame is planted, but there are also many scattered in front of the house. As long as there are gaps in the waste, it can grow. Qinghai pepper can be eaten. When the leaves of the pepper tree turn to Huang Shi, many red "little lanterns" climb the branches. It's freezing in winter, and hanging a string of sea peppers under the eaves, bright red gives people warmth, has a fire-like taste, and can also heat up the lives of rural people.
