I like toon buds originated more than 40 years ago. I was born in Penglai, known as the fairyland of the world at the intersection of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in the Shandong Peninsula. Penglai noodles are the food of Jiaodong. In the history of Penglai, there are several famous figures in the country—the anti-Japanese warrior Qi Jiguang, the great warlord Wu Peifu, and the great writer Yang Shuo, and their three families and ancestral halls are all concentrated within 1,000 meters near my house. In the center of Penglai, there was a small river called Huahe River. The tourist-like Qi Jiguang Ancestral Hall was on the west bank of the river, and my childhood was left in an alley called Xiaohezi Street on the east bank of the river.

　　When I was a child, I like grandma best This is the grandmother''s best skill. In the memory, the grandmother with little feet often appeared to make the noodles for the family kindly. I usually eat a bowl of pickled toon buds, shredded radish, shredded cucumber, hot leek and garlic puree after eating the braised noodles. Among the cold noodles, the one that has the most finishing touch is the end of the toon bud. With the end of buds, a bowl of cold noodles was fresh and salty, and the cheeks were fragrant.

Among the pickled toon, we are most concerned about the problem of nitrite, but what you may not know is that the nitrite level is the highest during the second to ninth day of pickling Yes, but then it will gradually decline, and after 20 days it will return to normal and ready for consumption. For healthier, pickled toon buds can be rinsed with warm water before eating. The nitrite is soluble in water, but the taste of toon may be slightly diluted.

　　Song writer Su Shi once worked in Penglai. So far, there are still images of Dongpo on the Penglai Pavilion of Danya Mountain. Dongpo is a person from Meizhou, Sichuan. Yes, the bottom of the snow is like an iron armor. It’s like Wushu is rich in winter vegetables, and the frost leaves and teeth are cold."
