the northeast sticky wet skin of tofu

Northeast sticky bean buns are rarely eaten in Heilongjiang now. Now they are all wrapped in sticky rice, and the taste is not as good as before. In fact, bean curd is a kind of winter food made by grinding yellow rice into powder to make skin, and filling it with beans and steaming it in a large pot. There are two kinds of yellow rice: big yellow rice and small yellow rice. The grain of rhubarb rice is slightly larger and the color is more yellow. The granules of small yellow rice are the size of millet, and the color is slightly lighter. In fact, there is no essential difference in taste. There are two kinds of bean stuffing: soybean stuffing and adzuki bean stuffing. The soybean stuffing is not soybean, but kidney bean, which is red and has white stripes on it. Adzuki bean is a kind of bean with small head and red body. Entering the twelfth lunar month every year is the time when farmers are busy scouring rice. Taomi has a special meaning here. First, yellow rice is soaked in hot water, and then it is pulled to the rice mill of the production team with a sledge and crushed into powder. Because it is a centralized action, it requires all households to act in strict accordance with the prescribed time, so it is tense and orderly. Immediately after grinding into powder, use two large pottery pots to make dough, and put it in the hottest place on the kang to wait for the dough to ferment. Now the bean curd noodles in the restaurant have not been fermented, and the taste is greatly reduced. When the beans are cooked in a large pot, they are made into spherical bumps by hand and frozen outdoors at a temperature of MINUS 30 degrees. My mother is busy all day, and my father never reaches out to help. If we are in a hurry to wrap bean bags in the pot, we children will be asked to "help" with our work. Of course, we will listen to our father's stories about various ghosts while working. If there were TV or broadband at that time, I'm afraid no one would pack bean bags to listen to stories. The bean bags should be steamed continuously for several days. The steamed ones should be separated on the steamer by the mother with wooden boards and put on the cover curtain, and then taken to the storage room for freezing and hardening, and then put into the vat. Every time my mother divided the hot bean curd, rhubarb dog would crouch down and drool at the delicious food. Among all kinds of animals raised in my hometown, the cat has the highest status, followed by pigs and poultry, and finally the dog. The dog almost eats the rice bran left by the pig's trough But this time, the mother's six bean bags were not caught, and they fell into the air and were caught and swallowed by the yellow dog. Alas! It was too hot, and the yellow dog screamed, and finally died tragically at the hands of bean bags that he had never eaten in his life. In winter, when you are hungry, you eat hard frozen bean buns, which is probably not the experience of southerners.
