There is a saying in an ancient poem: "Spoons and cakes are accompanied by spring scenery, and spring rolls on the earth." It implies the word spring rolls. Every time I think of the golden crisp spring rolls, they are full of fragrance, and I can't help but recall the days when my mother made spring rolls. ...
Because I was born in the countryside and my family was poor, I couldn't eat anything delicious on weekdays. Only during the Chinese New Year, my mother will make a snack that will make the whole family appetite: spring rolls. Mom is a good cook, and some blue vegetarian dishes will become delicious after being conditioned by her hands. She learned spring rolls from an aunt next door. After two or three exercises, she made it both decent and interesting.
The skin of spring rolls is rolled by mother with flour. It's thin and small, and it's as white as a cloud on a celadon plate, not worse than the ready-made ones on the market now. The most important thing about spring rolls is the stuffing. My mother often digs several winter bamboo shoots in her bamboo forest, shreds them, and adds some bean sprouts, leeks, dried bean curd, chopped green onion and so on. If there is no shredded pork, she will shred them with egg skin instead. When the stuffing is ready, my mother calls on the whole family to wrap spring rolls together, which is often the most exciting time for me. I spread out the skin of spring rolls with my small hands, scooped up a spoonful of stuffing, and then rolled around, which really felt like the fun of making handicrafts. This is also a happy time for our whole family. When we were rolling, my mother took the oil pan to the stove, and the spring rolls rang in the hot oil pan. It really tasted like "fried spring rolls". The bleak chill of winter is driven away by this smell, and abundant spring is coming quietly in this fragile way. ...
The freshly fried spring rolls are served at one end, and the room is full of fragrance. I took a quick bite, which was very hot, delicious and crisp. The taste is really incomparable. Many years later, I often recall the spring rolls made by my mother, and I still feel very beautiful. In poor years, the spring rolls made by my mother are undoubtedly a delicious scenery.
Later, the weather gradually warmed up, and shepherd's purse broke out in the field. My mother sometimes made several plates of shepherd's purse spring rolls instead. When we are outspoken, my mother occasionally makes some sweet and delicious spring rolls made of bean paste. Although it is the season after the Spring Festival, the dining table on weekdays has become fragrant and moist because of spring rolls. ...
Mom can make spring rolls, but she doesn't know the origin of spring rolls. Because spring rolls are not a specialty of our hometown. Later, I read the story of spring rolls to my mother in a book: spring rolls, also called spring cakes, pancakes and spring plates. It is a popular traditional snack in Fuzhou with a long history. It is said that there was a scholar in Song Dynasty who studied all day for a warm-up exam and often forgot to eat or sleep. It was useless for the wife to persuade again and again, so she thought of a way: grind the rice into pancakes, put the meat in them, wrap them into rolls, and eat them as both rice and vegetables. This snack was later named spring rolls and gradually became popular in urban and rural areas. Mother said cheerfully, "It turns out that spring rolls are still eaten by scholars, so I will make more spring rolls to let you read more."
Now, my mother is old and hasn't made spring rolls for many years. But her skills were passed on to me. Every winter comes and spring comes, I will go to the market to buy ready-made spring rolls, use shrimps, mushrooms and shredded bamboo shoots as stuffing, and fry some delicious spring rolls. And I also read more books as my mother expected.
I read Du Fu's poem "Fine vegetables are born in spring, but I suddenly remember the time when two Beijing plum trees were born". It is also recorded in the Chronicle of Wulin that the spring cake of shepherd's purse in the court of Song Dynasty is "Cuisi Golden Rooster and Jade Swallow, which is extremely exquisite in preparation, and each dish is worth ten thousand yuan". Mom didn't know I would write an article on spring rolls. And I hope my article is the best "Spring Roll" snack in the Spring Festival. This is a spring roll skin made from childhood, full of mother's love, with the color of spring, ushered in an infinitely bright and brilliant New Year. ...
