The full text of "Duck Eggs at the Dragon Boat Festival" in the second book of the eighth grade

Many of the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown are the same as those abroad. Tying a hundred cords. Five-colored silk threads are twisted into small ropes and tied around the wrist. Silk thread is off color, wash your face with water, the wrist will be printed on the red one green one. Doing the incense. Silk wrapped into small dumplings, filled with incense, one by one string, hanging on the tent hook. The five poisons are labeled.

Red paper cut into five poisons, pasted on the threshold. Paste the talisman. The talisman was sent from the City God Temple. The old Taoist priest of the City God Temple is also my foster godfather, and he sends a small Taoist priest to send the talisman every year before the Dragon Boat Festival, along with two small paper fans. When the talisman was delivered, it was pasted on the lintel of the hall. A foot-long strip of yellow and blue

paper with some inexplicable drawings on it with a vermilion pen, can this ward off evil spirits? Drinking Xionghuang wine. With the wine and the yellow wine on the child's forehead to draw a king character, which is many places. There is also a custom that I don't know if it exists elsewhere: the release of yellow smoke. The yellow smoke is the size of a cannonball like the northern marezi, except that it is filled with male huang instead of nitrate.

Lighting does not sound, just a stream of yellow smoke, can smoke for a while. The yellow smoke is thrown under the cupboard, and it is said that it can smoke the five poisons. Children lit the yellow smoke, often one end of it against the wall of the board to write the word tiger. Write yellow smoke tiger character strokes can not be broken, so our children there will write cursive "a tiger".

There is also a custom that the Dragon Boat Festival lunch to eat "twelve red", that is, twelve red-colored dishes. I only remember the twelve red fried red amaranth, fried shrimp, salted duck eggs, the rest can not remember, can not count. Perhaps the twelve red is just a name, not necessarily a full twelve kinds.

But the lunch dishes are red, this point is I do not remember wrong, and, amaranth, shrimp, duck eggs, must be there. All three, where I come from, are not expensive and most people can afford them.

My hometown is a water town. The ducks. The Gaoyou duck is a famous duck breed. There are a lot of ducks and a lot of duck eggs. Gaoyou people are also good at salted duck eggs. Gaoyou salted duck eggs are then famous. Whenever someone asked me about my place of origin in Southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the other person would be in awe after answering, "Oh! Your place out of salted duck eggs!"

Shanghai stores selling salted duck eggs also sell salted duck eggs, must be specially marked with a note: "Gaoyou salted eggs". The double-yolked duck eggs are also produced in Gaoyou. Duck eggs elsewhere also occasionally have double yolk, but not as much as in Gaoyou, can be exported in batches. There is nothing special about the flavor of double-yolked duck eggs. It is just a duck egg! It's just that when you cut it open, there are two round yolks inside, which makes you surprised.

I'm not happy to be called a Gaoyou duck egg, as if our poor place produces duck eggs! However, the salted duck eggs of Gaoyou is really good, I have traveled a lot of places, eaten duck eggs, but and my hometown can not be compared at all! Once the sea is difficult to water, salted duck eggs from other countries, I really do not see. Yuan Mei's "with the garden food list - small menu" has "pickled eggs" one.

Yuan Zicai this person I do not like, his "food list" a number of dishes is to listen to the practice, he does not know how to cook. But this article of "pickled eggs" I feel very kind after reading, and "with honor". The article is not long, recorded as follows:

Pickled eggs to Gaoyou is good, the color is fine and more oil, Gao Wenduan Gong favorite food. Seats, the first clip to honor guests, put on the plate. It is always advisable to cut the shell, yellow and white both; can not save the yellow to white, so that the flavor is not complete, the oil is also dispersed.

The Gaoyou salted eggs are characterized by fine texture and more oil. The egg white is soft and tender, unlike the dry and powdery ones elsewhere, and it is like chewing lime in the mouth.

The oil is especially not as much as elsewhere. Duck egg eating method, as Yuan Zicai said, with shell cut, is a kind of, that is the seat of the hospitality approach. The usual way of eating is to crack the "empty head" and eat it with chopsticks.

The head of the chopsticks is stuck down, and the red oil comes out. The yolks of Gaoyou salted eggs are red. There is a famous dish in northern Jiangsu Province called "tofu with vermilion sand", which is tofu stir-fried with the yolk of a Gaoyou duck egg. The salted duck eggs I ate in Beijing had light yellow yolks, so what kind of salted duck eggs are they called?

The Dragon Boat Festival, our children there Xing hanging "duck eggs Luozi". On the first day, by the aunt or sister with colorful silk thread played a good complex. Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the duck eggs cooked, by the children themselves to pick one, duck eggs have what to pick? There are! One should pick one with a light green shell. There are two kinds of duck egg shells: white and light green. The second is to pick the one that has a good shape.

Don't say that duck eggs are all the same, but they are different when you look at them closely. Some of them look stupid and some of them look good. The first thing you need to do is to pick out a good one, put it in a basket, and hang it on the button of the lapel. What's so beautiful about it? Yet it is a child's favorite ornament. Duck eggs hanging more than half a day, when the child is happy, the duck eggs out of the complex, eat. The duck eggs of the Dragon Boat Festival, newly pickled not long ago, only a little bit of light salty flavor, white mouth to eat can also be.

Children eat duck eggs is very careful. In addition to knocking off the empty head, not to touch the eggshell. Yolk protein eaten up, with water to wash the inside of the duck eggshell, caught fireflies to the night, installed in the eggshell, the empty end of the place paste a layer of thin Luo. The fireflies in the duck eggshell flickering bright, beautiful!

Hours to read the bag fireflies reflecting the snow story, think the Eastern Jin Dynasty Che Yin with practice bag full of dozens of fireflies, light up the reading, not as good as using duck eggshells to contain fireflies. But with fireflies to light to read, and read all night to dawn, this can work? Che Yin read a handwritten volume, the word is large, if you read the new five now, probably not.
