As food, we bought it in the street when we were young (25 years ago). When it was cooked, we could buy several black ones for a dime. At that time, I heard that it took three days and three nights to cook cotton dates.
The mountain is full of growth, finger-sized, and leaves are like leeks.
There is another way to eat when I was a child: (only a few people knew it before 80)
1, an original date.
2. smash the jujube with two tiles. When the tiles are pulled apart, there will be sticky wires, which can be pulled 10 cm long, like cobwebs.
3. Find a small tree fork (small stick fork).
4. When the ceramic tile is pulled open, wrap it on the fork with silk thread and wrap it repeatedly.
5, eat, lick the silk on the fork into your mouth with your tongue.
6, taste, slightly sweet, because at that time, I was insatiable.
The above is how children in our village (25 years ago) ate. No one eats like this now, and many children don't know noodles and dates.
I want to apply for a patent for this way of eating.
Or intangible cultural heritage,
Or something.
I hope Baidu will always remember.
