Or if the player buys orchids that are fully developed, they should choose those with well-developed roots, big, strong trees, green leaves and free from pests and diseases. According to the owner Duy Trong Hai, terracotta pots with many openings will help orchids grow and absorb nutrients better. For the substrate, growers should choose those with high porosity, lightness and moisture-retaining ability such as coir, wood charcoal, peanut shell. For coconut fiber should be shredded and soaked for about 1 week to reduce salinity and tannins. Coconut shell and wood charcoal are cut into small pieces about 1x2x3 and then soaked, especially with coconut shells should soak in lime water to eliminate pathogens, after soaking wood charcoal, wash and dry.

Easy but difficult Soybean ingredients include soybeans, glutinous rice and grain salt. The cooking season usually starts around March to May. Sticky rice is cooked, dried and molded. This stage of making this milestone seems to be easy but very difficult, it must be experienced by the similar workers to calculate how the milestone is reasonable. “Horizontal hand” that goes in makes it easy to damage like playing. Soybeans are roasted in gold and crushed, then soaked with water and salt. The soy sauce maker determines the “lean soy sauce” of the roasted soybean soaking water to calculate the process of pouring mold into soaking. After the mold has been poured in, make sure to make the jars of soy sauce carefully, cover with a ceramic lid. Everyday, open the sun to make the soy sauce ripen. After the drying process is to incubate for very carefully, very tightly. Just incubated like that for about 3 months, it is similar. Soy sauce is a special sauce and has many uses in meals. In the past, ca dao used to enumerate all three “national souls” of the nation in one sentence: “You go, I miss your homeland / Remember the water spinach soup, remember the tomato sauce”. There are many ways to combine soy sauce and water spinach. The simplest is water spinach boiled with soy sauce, vegetable broth brought with crocodile vinegar, and a meal with salt-cured tomato is enough. During the subsidy period, my grandmother used to cook ginger soy sauce morning glory soup. Water spinach washed, crushed. Vegetable cooking water add a little soy sauce and a little salt, crushed ginger root, drop into the water, when the water is boiling, drop water spinach in, vegetables are cooked, then turn off the heat. Water spinach cooked with soy sauce is usually very green, giving it its own flavor. It seems to be a dish of the past, now no one can cook anymore. What about ketchup? Previously, in the countryside, every home had to have a jar of soy sauce, a pot of rice, which are almost 2 indispensable things and look at it to be assured of the time when the seeds are in front. The eggplant here is a bowl of salted eggplant with the whole fruit pressed. During the coffee season, many people buy weights, peel off the nipples skillfully, release each nipple with a pinch of salt, then compress it tightly. Usually salted eggplant takes a month to eat and salty then… draw your tongue. But there is a new salt for long The traditional way of making tomato sauce is that the tomato is soaked in salt for 20-25 days to reduce water, then soaked in a soy sauce jars for a few months. Currently in Tam Hiep, Phuc Tho still has many families producing this specialty. Sometimes sell up to 50 thousand VND / fruit. Specialty of … country Usually, families who want to eat tomato sauce will do it in a very quick way, when the salt is cooked, then tear it into small pieces. Now, there is a way of taking a knife and slicing salt into pieces (in the old days, the tools only tear their hands). no sugar is fine). Just soak for a few hours to make the soy sauce infused. In addition to water spinach and tomato, tofu is also very delicious if combined with soy sauce. Boiled tofu with soy sauce is a very affordable dish for the hot season. Crispy tofu with soy sauce is always the number one dish from generation to generation. During the subsidy period, my grandmother used to store tofu with soy sauce. Braised beans are white beans, not fried, cut into pieces, put in a pot, pour a little soy sauce, add some lard or grease and simmer on the stove, until the soy sauce is evenly adhered to the bean and is dry, then turn off the heat. Braised soybeans are both fatty and plump, eaten with rice very well. Now, when my grandfather has disappeared from the mountain, his family still maintains his old dishes. Once you came to the house and saw me stewed in the old style, you were very surprised because I had never eaten. Also somehow, this dish is less popular on a large scale, or it may also be the “personal initiative” of a housewife. Or maybe it was a dish from the subsidized and difficult times, now the society has developed, people are used to the full of high-quality dishes, so no one remembers. Referring to soy sauce, it is impossible not to mention the presence of this sauce in the stock dishes. The first to mention is the fish stock. Usually fish stocked with soy sauce is river fish, copper fish, mainly tilapia, crayfish, catfish, and carp. Rarely, people choose to store the carp with soy sauce. Crayfish eggs, a little bacon (choose the fatty part), a little ginger sliced ​​to the bottom of the pot, can store with a little star fruit, add a little water to make the fish beautiful. In the past, in many rural areas, rice husks were also cooked, and the way the fish were kept in rice husks made the fish make the bones but it was very fleshy. Talking about it, but forgetting to mention the castings is of course extremely flawed. The cake is made from non-glutinous rice soaked in clear lime water, the rice is ground into powdered water and then brought to the kitchen stirring with peanuts. Peanut molded cake is delicious, not crushed, but soft, flexible, crispy, without sticking to the hand. The molded cake is only suitable for the sauce, add a little fresh chili, eat both stick and cool. Along with the cake mold, there is also goat meat that cannot be delicious without soy sauce.

“In the morning, I usually get up at 5am to water the plants to wash away the frost because the house is near the sea. During the day, I am busy with work, only at night do I have time to spend in the garden, ”she said. Red tomato garden on the terrace. Ms. Hoan has a small shop selling mannequins (jellyfish, coconut, jelly …) in the market. In addition, she also regularly provides this dish for weddings and restaurants. The first time the country implemented social gap due to the first Covid-19 epidemic (in 2020), she had to take a break from her business. Having free time, Ms. Hoan researched how to plant trees. She asked for land, foam box and bought seeds… started planting. The amount of land moved up too much, she had to tie the rope to pull it from the first floor to the rooftop. She also makes use of all the foam boxes or plastic buckets to make a place for sowing. The barrel did not punch the bottom, but the edge was about 20 cm from the bottom. After that, she punched a hole in the plastic can and put the can on the bottom of the barrel. The mouth of the can toward the edge of the barrel is chiseled, making a way for water to drain, helping the roots to clear, and less soil wasting. This woman also takes advantage of vegetables, tubers, leftovers and the peels of tubers and fruits to put in barrels, pour the soil on top, then water the rice … to form a green manure mixture. Thanks to this fertilizer, the plant grows very well. “Initially, I intended to only grow herbs, cucumbers to serve the needs of the family and sales, but unexpectedly after 2 years, my garden had all kinds of vegetables, tubers, fruits and flowers”. In particular, her overhead garden resembles an octopus tomato (like a Russian tomato) grown in foam boxes. Every day, this woman cut off old leaves, obscuring leaves to focus nutrients on the fruit. “Tomatoes like vermi-compost and kitchen waste composting microbiological compost. I also water clear lime water, add some NPK when flowering and small fruit,” she said. “Tomato trees are wrong because the roots have to eat a lot of soil and manure to grow fruit. I stack 2 foam boxes on each other, poke holes in the bottom so that the roots penetrate the roots down to absorb nutrients. For gardening experience, I often watch and read the experience of growing trees online. Seeing what makes sense, I will start to experiment, ”she added. Thanks to the right techniques and devotion of the garden owner, up to now, her garden has made many people admire. Many friends and neighbors asked about how to plant and apply for seeds, Mrs. Hoan happily shared. “Before, I just sat selling, didn’t move much. Since working as a gardener, I often have to be active, my health and spirit are much better than before, ”she said. Ms. Hoan’s husband is a guard, and the children are busy studying, so Ms Hoan takes care of the garden. Every day I don’t have time to go to the terrace, I miss the garden again. “Later, when my children graduate, I will quit my current business. With a lot of time, I will take care of the garden and enjoy my old age ”, she added. See some more pictures of Ms. Hoan’s rooftop garden: The owner of the garden is 50m2. Tomato season is ripe. Ripe red tomatoes. In addition to vegetables, tubers and fruits, her garden also grows a variety of flowers. The large amount of vegetables, tubers and fruits prevents her from going to the market to buy and also provides ingredients for her to cook dishes for sale.
