Rau Choại: món ngon dân dã của vùng Đồng Tháp Mười

People living abroad, when listening to the name of Thap Muoi, probably do not forget the folk verse: "Thap Muoi water flooded the sour field Half of the burning season, half the season of rising water".

Right at that time of the season, nature suddenly became more peaceful and favored for the people of this land extremely rich specialties: Snakes, mustache, hamsters, water lilies, dandelion, vegetables chives ... But the characteristic of Dong Thap Muoi area, it is the "running" vegetables, a kind of young twisted twisted twirling like rolls, delicious food.

According to the ancestors, at the beginning of the reclamation of the people, people have discovered that the "running" vegetable that has existed in front of them for many generations on this land is Chua. Vegetables are present almost everywhere in Dong Thap Muoi. It belongs to the family of vines, where the cow stalks up to it, can live in lowland areas because the root has strong water attraction, especially very suitable for alum-contaminated land. There are many types of vegetables. Based on its characteristics and living environment, people call it by different names: Stonecrop, garden stub, wild stalk, pickle, veneer ... All kinds of vegetables are edible, however, Each has its own unique flavor.

The stalked vegetables have green streak of bananas, grow into bushes, and the old and tall leaves look like a beautiful fern leaf; Eat bitter, bitter. Previously, in the process of reclamation, people living in Dong Thap Muoi area were less able to trade with the outside, the days of running out of food and food, they had to pick young shoots of vegetables instead of stone. So. Because it is very bitter and bitter, it must be boiled briefly in boiling water, picked up and drained before being processed into another dish. With the characteristic acrid taste of ice, people often use it to cook sour soup with anabas, rice, this is a unique dish only in this region.

Wild mango is a wild vegetable sometimes sold in the market, the most common of all vegetables in the same family. Wild mangrove vegetables and leaves are light green mixed with some pink, young leaves are dark pink, all parts of the forest trees are used except the old leaves. People in Dong Thap Muoi often go to the forest to choose old cords, cut them into arbitrary sections, and bring them to dry in a bundle to save. Those who specialize in fishing, fishing ropes are their companions when needed to look after, roof, post, that ... of former colonists.

Vegetables in the garden have high and big trunk, often growing along bamboo bushes, coconut trees, in mixed garden, along the river edge, adapting in fresh water areas, lightly alum-contaminated. Bunches of vegetables are stout in the garden, sweet, crispy and fragrant, very rare, so they are not sold in the market like wild vegetables.

Talking about dishes made from wild vegetables, people immediately think of boiled vegetables. Vegetables are bought from markets, sellers sometimes leave them overnight, so they become black and age. In this case, before processing, the small part must be picked up; want to sprout fresh, crunchy it is best to take the time to pick and use immediately. Boiled spice buds seasoning sauce, or soy sauce are delicious. Therefore, in Dong Thap Muoi region from ancient times, there were folk songs that:

Invite each other to seven villages

Picking up vegetables, pulling back eagles

If the tick is off, the soy sauce is over

Immediately the cops who love me lie.

It is enough for the villagers. Those who want to be sophisticated, besides the seasoning sauce cup, soy sauce with a few fried perch or grilled snakehead fish, is great! Usually, boiled water is rarely used by anyone, but it adds a little salt, some MSG to slurp after a meal, its sweetness is not inferior to any kind of soup.

Want to get the right to go into the forest, where people have not reclaimed, or along the banks of new canals scoop up the land. Scaring requires familiarity with the way, if ignorant one day bees to be swollen turmeric to swell the face. One kg of buds now ranges from 4,000 to 6,000 VND, this price is quite attractive for a part of poor laborers to make a living in the flood season.

For Hoa My people, this is an extremely important event since the restoration of the village festival, everyone wishes this year to have new activities to be worthy. According to Mr. Truong Quang Phuoc, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hoa Minh ward, Deputy Head of the Organization Committee of the Village Association, after hearing the good news, the families were so happy, started to build a Cultural House in communal house campus with an expense of 800 million dong, expected to inaugurate on March 29, 2011. This will be a meeting place to display traditional artifacts of the village, a "land" for Football Club, Badminton, Chinese Chess ... activities and development.

In front of a completely different village, Ms. Ha Thi Tich, a retired teacher in the residential quarter of Quarter 50, shared her feelings through the simple poems: The communal house opened the festival today / Picked up by the flying flag monument. Heaven / People on their own rejoice at home / How old the old meaning is.

Indeed, for nearly 20 years, the Hoa My village association has united everyone with a word Love. There are over 40 agencies, units and many newcomers in the area, all in harmony with Hoa My people in a loving and sheltered family. Central Urban - Rural Planning Center participates in activities as a unit of the village, once requesting agencies and units to play after the Tet holiday and donate to the village to form an apricot forest. The center, due to the peculiarity of the job, may move to many places, but it is hard to forget Hoa My as the verse of a member of the center participating in the flower arrangement contest at the village festival: “The future is over ten thousand the road / Love of the village means neighbor forever king ".

Lieutenant Colonel Bui Hoa, Deputy Captain of Propaganda and Handling Team (Traffic Police Department, Danang City Police Department), one of the active people of Hoa My village, mobilized people in the past years. the resident group 46 made his own car to pick Tam Da Phuoc Loc Tho and congratulate the village festival. This year, in addition to the exhibition of photos taken by him and journalists about the village festival, he also contributed two areca trees to the "Areca tree of the roots" according to the village's rules to mark his own "founding" day. .

".

PROVERB: When you drink water, remember the source
On the evening of January 12, the families of Hoa Phu village picked up literature from Mr. Tu's house to worship Nguyen Tin and went to the temple to celebrate Nghiep van. Recently, the village has sent people to the North to make a procession in the traditional prototype, this year's village festival "open goods" to pick around the residential area. The official sacrifices to the position of the politician, Nguyen Ngan, near the eighth week, the descendant of the ancestor of the village, frantically dressed in a robes and placed everything there and then stood up to be the chief of the cult in the ceremony. rain and wind harmony, national peace.

Hoa Phu village currently has 45 sects, but not everyone knows the origin of the old village. Before, this place was called Phu Loc with three neighbors. Bac Ninh in the North is a coastal fishing village. Xisha in the West is a region with lots of white sand. Hoa Phu village was the widest (perhaps because of that the village's name was changed to Hoa Phu), after it split into five small hamlets, namely Hoa Binh, Phu Ca, Phu Trung, Phu Xuan and Hoa Nam.

In his poem "My hometown river", Mr. Ho Know, Chairman of the Hoa Minh Ward Farmers' Association, preserved the once-connected landmarks associated with the founding of the people of the ancestors of Hoa Phu village. In the old village, there was a place named Cay Da slump that was accompanied by the agricultural life of Hoa Phu people, described by him: “Tree Da, the body of winter people / Moon came to shine waiting to look for you / Dandruff shoulders. beautiful slap / To harvest remember the river love ”. This night slapping scene also took place in another place: "Flooded water drained from Mu U / Bo Hang, Na Vau alluvial fields".

 Called the Mu U slot, because there are two old trees in the forest - Ms. Huynh Thi Le, President of Hoa Minh Women's Union, explained. When returning to be a bride in Hoa Phu village, she used to make a slap late at the crack, leaving many memories for the beautiful men and women in this village. Just like the slap of the Da Da, there were many "competitions" between boys and girls in the village and many people later became couples.

Nguyen Ngan, whenever talking to the youth in the village, did not forget to recall the old folk names like Bau Nang, Bau Say, Bau Lat ... showing that this place used to be a deserted land with many types. Herbs and wild herbs had to be cleared openly. Now the city is immense, the road across the alley is more grateful to the previous person. This principle of "drinking water and remembering the source", according to Mr. Vo Phu, Head of the Organization Committee of Hoa Phu Communal Village Festival, was expressed by the villagers in the non-sharing 300 million dong of cooperative members' shares after the award. Hoa Minh Agricultural Cooperative that voluntarily contributes to renovate the communal house to have a place to respect ancestors.

From 2001, when conducting urban embellishment, Hoa Phu had many households from different places resettled, especially in two hamlets of Bac Ninh and Hoa Binh. 11 years of restoring a village festival, not so much for some new people to catch up with the general spiritual cultural life of the village. That is what the village organizing committee will aim for in the following years.
