Write a composition on the lotus root of parents.

My hometown, Baoying, Jiangsu Province, is located in Lixiahe area in northern Jiangsu Province, where the river network is dense, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and south, and five lakes and four swings crisscross. In many years of production practice, the people in my hometown have cultivated lotus root, the most representative agricultural and sideline product in my hometown, with high yield and high quality. According to the relevant departments of the county, Baoying's lotus root accounts for about half of the national output, so it was awarded the reputation of "the hometown of lotus root" by the relevant state departments. I remember one year when I was traveling to the summer resort, the tour guide pointed to a lotus root field (about tens of acres) by the Rehe River and said proudly, how big the area is and how beautiful the scenery is. We all laughed when we thought of the lotus root field in our hometown. I'm afraid this tour guide has never seen Baoying's ten thousand acres of lotus root field in his life.

There are too many poems written by literati in the past dynasties describing Baoying lotus root and lotus flower. In Su Fan Shui, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, Chu Sizong said, "Where you are homesick, you can hear lotus flowers when you sing. It depicts a beautiful water town where fishing boats sing late and pick lotus by boat. Qiao Lai's "Twigs stay around the emerald green frequency, and Hegai sends people far away in spring"; Qiao Dahong's "ten miles to the lotus, lost the Xikou"; Wen Zhu's "Frosty rice is like a moon, and the wind is like a boat"; Wang Sunjin's "Where can I fish barefoot? Who can sell lotus roots with a vegetarian hand?" all exudes the fragrance and elegance of the hometown of lotus roots. There is also a poem saying: the lotus flowers are fragrant with double orchids, and the Yang Liu Yin is a grass pavilion, which is really appropriate and amazing. In the largest garden in Baoying, Zongkuoyuan, there is even a "bamboo deep lotus hall", which takes the meaning of Du Fu's "bamboo deep to stay for guests, lotus clean to enjoy the cool". Most people in Baoying are only impressed by two of them, both of which are Yang Wanli's: the spring is silent and flowing, the shade of the tree loves sunny and soft, the lotus just shows its sharp corners, and dragonflies stand on it long ago. The other song is: After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of the West Lake is different from that of the four o'clock. The lotus leaves are infinite in the next day, and the lotus flowers are different in color.

According to experts, lotus root is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements, vitamins and minerals. Raw lotus root has the functions of removing blood stasis, clearing away heat, relieving thirst, calming the heart, stopping bleeding (nosebleed, hematuria, hematochezia, uterine bleeding, etc.) and resolving phlegm. After raw lotus root is cooked, its sex changes from cool to warm, and it has the effects of nourishing stomach, nourishing yin, benefiting blood and stopping diarrhea. Because it is rich in dietary fiber, it is also very beneficial to treat constipation and promote the discharge of harmful substances. Because of its richness and traditional eating habits, it is deeply loved by the people in my hometown. Every year, after the new lotus root is listed, it becomes a delicacy for thousands of families.

Over the years, due to continuous inheritance and innovation, Baoying has also formed a unique lotus root food culture. Lotus root, lotus flower, lotus seed and lotus root powder can all be used as raw materials for cooking. They are eaten raw, stir-fried, fried and brewed. The whole lotus root mat made of preserved lotus root, lotus root dumpling, fried lotus root clip, fried lotus root cake, glutinous rice rotten lotus root and other famous dishes is famous at home and abroad. In particular, the candied lotus root is sweet and crisp, thick but not greasy, which makes people salivate. Unfortunately, this famous dish is rarely passed on because of its complicated technology, restaurants are afraid of it, and ordinary people can't cook it. Ordinary people have rarely eaten this famous dish, which is a pity of the people in the hometown of lotus root.

The follow-up products of lotus root include salted lotus root series, preserved lotus root, instant lotus root powder, lotus root juice, lotus leaf beverage and so on. Lotus root starch, in particular, has the characteristics of "purity, whiteness, thinness and size". It is a bright and clear royal food and has the reputation of "goose feather snowflake", which is famous at home and abroad. Lotus root has formed an industrial chain from planting, processing and export in hometown, which is an important pillar of green agricultural and sideline products in our county and one of the important agricultural and sideline income of farmers.

when it comes to how to eat lotus root, I have to talk more about fried lotus root clips. Fried lotus root clip is to cut lotus root into pieces of about 5 mm, then cut a knife from the middle of the lotus root slice without breaking it like a clip, then fill the middle of the interlayer with minced meat, spread flour on the outside, and fry it in an oil pan before eating. It is really wonderful that exquisite people add diced mushrooms, diced bamboo shoots, shrimps and so on to the minced meat. Everyone who lives outside Baoying misses this fried lotus root clip. Before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, this dish was served in restaurants, restaurants and people's dining halls. It was really based on local materials and was not formal. Do it yourself, entertain yourself and enjoy it.

What makes hometown people talk about most is the customs and feelings about lotus root. Children eat lotus roots, and they are smart. Businessmen eat lotus root, passepartout, and the wealth is smooth; Describe the relationship between people, break the ties and so on. Especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family should buy back the lotus root with branches of different sizes to worship the moon, which means that the children and grandchildren are full and the family is prosperous, and it is entrusted with the piety of the whole family to nature and respect for the gods, so as to miss their loved ones and pray for the family to be harmonious, beautiful, happy and safe and healthy.

Lotus root has brought endless joy and hope to the people in my hometown.

I love you, my hometown Baoying; I like you, Baoying lotus root.
