Hongdong people call weddings and funerals "things to do", and steamed rice and noodles are the standard breakfast for Hongdong people to do things. This custom has hardly changed since I was a child for decades.

Steamed rice, also called jujube rice, is made by soaking millet and jujube in advance and steaming overnight. Contained in the mouth, sweet and soft, are the sweetness of life. Have a few mouthfuls of glutinous rice and jujube rice and a mouthful of noodle soup. Ah, I'm really drunk!

Noodles are noodles in the river, which are very harmonious. In the past, poor people had something to do at home, so they cooked more fried tofu cubes in noodles. Rich people put small pieces of crispy meat in their noodles. In the dark sauce-colored soup, the calm and bright yellow round noodles induced a strong appetite. Green leeks float in the bowl, showing a lively and enthusiastic life.

I have been away from home for many years, and I seldom have the opportunity to eat steamed rice noodles, the standard breakfast of others. Fortunately, there is such a special restaurant to satisfy people's childhood memories. Hong Tong steamed rice noodles, unforgettable local memory.
