Pingding bean leaf vegetable

Pingding people have always had a strange rural custom since ancient times, that is, they eat bean leaf glory all year round. Bean leaf vegetable is a special kind of country soil, which is made of bean leaves or soybean leaves after processing. This kind of bean leaf vegetable is naturally made of bean leaves. The season of picking bean leaves should be around "Bailu". At that time, Pingding people will go hand in hand and pick bean leaves in the fields, which is called "smoothing leaves". And local customs, as long as the Millennium arrives, the masses will send out to stroke the bean leaves and go to any field, and there is no boundary between villages. There is also a local custom that bean leaves are not allowed to be picked before the Millennium, and the bean leaves collected have to go through a strange production process. First of all, roll the bean leaves tightly into a ball and fill the bottom pot. Then add water, cover it, stew it with fire, steam it, pour it out, cut it into filaments with a kitchen knife, put it into a cage bit by bit, press it with wooden pickle bumps, place it layer by layer, cut it into sections with sorghum stalks according to the size of the jar mouth, put it on the jar mouth, press it with a pebble on it, put the jar in a cool place, and add clear water every day to make the original juice, namely "red water", seep out after the leaves in the jar are fermented. Before and after the "beginning of winter", the original juice of bean leaves in the urn overflowed, the vegetables were taken out, the rotten leaves were removed, and the good vegetables were washed several times with clear water. Then put the washed vegetables in a basket with a strainer, press them with wooden boards and big stones, squeeze them dry, put them in a jar, press them layer by layer, add pebbles, then pour the cooled rice soup or noodle soup into an urn, submerge the vegetables, often add water and vegetables, and store them at zero to ten degrees Celsius, sometimes for six months to two years. According to the people in Pingding County, eating bean leaf vegetables can "clear the internal heat, help digestion and strengthen the spleen and stomach", which is good for the body. The way to eat bean leaf vegetables can be eaten as "tips", fried and prepared. Especially the local way of eating, bean leaf vegetable millet sour rice has more local characteristics.
