Late autumn, you can always smell a sweet and greasy chestnut fragrance on the streets and alleys. The fragrance is like an invisible rope, leading people to walk to the chestnut shop involuntarily and buy a pack of warm sugar-fried chestnuts . I like the paper bags that wrap food, which is a bit nostalgic and makes people quiet.
"August pears, September hawthorns, October chestnuts laughed." The chestnut trees on the hillside were lush and leaves were hung with chestnut balls, green and round, with thorns all over the body, pointed and thin, like a rolled ball of hedgehog . When the chestnuts on the tree turn yellow, the chestnuts will also mature. At this time, the chestnut shells will gradually crack, revealing the maroon-red chestnuts. When the wind blows, the chestnuts will fall down and scatter among the leaves and in the grass.
Improved chestnuts are best eaten raw. Peel off the shell and the yellow chestnut fruit will appear before your eyes, warm and soft. Take a bite and it is crisp and sweet, and the rich fragrance dissipates like clouds.
Shanghai people have a special liking for chestnuts. In late autumn, the streets are filled with the fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts. Sister Yun from my aunt's house especially likes to eat millet. When she goes out on the street with her thin high heels, she will bring back a bag of candy fried chestnuts. She smiled gently and said, "Ala likes to eat because of the beauty of chestnuts." Buy a pack of hot candy fried chestnuts, step on the fallen leaves all over the floor, eat chestnuts while watching TV, and the wind, frost, rain and snow are closed outside the door, and you will feel inexplicably happy at this time.
Zhang Ailing wrote in the novel "Relax" that "Dunfeng stopped and bought a pack of candy fried chestnuts, opened the bag and paid, and handed the chestnuts to Mr. Mi for the time being. The hot paper pocket was so hot that it was in his hand." Zhang Ailing liked to eat candy fried chestnuts. Every time she returned to her residence, she would always slow down and listened carefully to the master's "wiping" sound of stir-fried chestnuts with a long-handled shovel, and deeply smelled the aroma of the mixed smell of the osmanthus candy and sand. Zhang Ailing's words are always endlessly desolate. Fortunately, there is such a pack of candy fried chestnuts, which makes people feel the warmth of the world.
In " Dream of Red Mansions ", Mama Li, the wet nurse of Baoyu , came to Baoyu, saw crispy cheese , and ate it with a spoon. A girl said it was "kept for Xiren", but after hearing this, Madam Li said she "eat all the crispy cheese with anger." After Baoyu came back, Xiren had to trick Baoyu into eating "flying chestnuts". To dry chestnuts, it means to take fresh chestnuts in a cloth pocket, hang them in a naturally ventilated place, and then remove the shell and eat after drying in the shade. Wang Zengqi once wrote: Put the chestnuts in a bamboo basket and hang them in a ventilated place for a few days, and then they become "wind chestnuts". The meat of Fengxiu is slightly wrinkled and has a microsoft taste, which makes it more delicate and tough.
The osmanthus is famous for the Yanxia Ridge of West Lake in Hangzhou. When the osmanthus is fragrant, the chestnuts will also ripen. Boiled osmanthus chestnuts has become a good product on the roadside. Scrambled chestnuts are a poetic delicacy, always connected with osmanthus and autumn. Wang Zengqi once said: Chestnuts with white sugar and osmanthus are very beautiful.
always feels that chestnuts are a kind of beautiful snack. I like the leisurely mood when peeling chestnuts. I sit on the balcony, reading books, and gnawing on the chestnuts. The wind and moon in the chestnuts are boundless, life is elegant and interesting, and life needs some fun to warm our lives and nourish our lives.
