In a distant place, there is a paradise known as the "Book Hometown" and "Tea Hometown" and praised by the outside world as "the most beautiful village in China." The mountains there, the water there, the flowers there, the grass there, the people there, and the love there are all so memorable.
There, there is a village in the mountains, and there is a mountain behind the village. The mountains are shaded by ancient trees; there is water next to the village, which leans against the home, and the clear river flows across the sky. There are white walls and black tiles, the stream is slow, and the clouds and mist surround it, reflecting it. Ancient villages with small bridges and flowing water, paintings of green mountains and beautiful rivers, scenic spots of Taoyuan, and villages in paintings. It is a beautiful picture of the south of the Yangtze River where man and man are united.
In my picturesque hometown surrounded by mountains and rivers, I spent the happiest period of my life; on the path in the fields, I left countless footprints of growth; in the kitchen with curling smoke, my parents cooked me countless delicacies.
Lion's head is a very home-cooked dish. There are many different methods and different tastes. In my hometown, there is also its unique method, and it is generally used for steaming. It is truly nutritious and healthy, original and delicious.

Poetic heart phrase: 1: Cut the lotus root a little thinner when cutting, so that it is convenient to chop. 2: First chop the lean meat to a satisfactory level of 7 minutes, and then add the diced lotus root to avoid cutting all the diced lotus root into lotus root paste. 3: Add the fat meat and chop it at the end, because if you add it early, it will be chopped into oil. 4: If you don't like fat meat, you can put it a little less (I usually put as much on the meat I buy), but if you don't put it, the taste will be slightly worse. 5: Chop the shredded ginger and chopped green onion as thin as possible. If you can't cut it thin, you can also chop it a little after you cut it. (It's chopped green onion. Don't add green onion to avoid yellowing during steaming and affecting the appearance and taste.) 6: In step 9, add the prepared water starch,(ratio of 1 tablespoon starch to 4 tablespoons of water), not dry starch. Because the dry starch is melted with a little water first, it can be easier and more uniform when stirring.
