Hawthorn flakes and preserved plums, both accompanied by a rich sense of nostalgia.
Good medicine tastes bitter; when I was a child, I was always afraid of drinking Chinese medicine. The mere scent of its bitter aroma would send me running away! Back then, traditional Chinese medicine shops would include hawthorn flakes or preserved plums to help wash down the medicine, diluting the bitterness with a lingering sense of human warmth.
Nowadays, there is an endless variety of snacks, and specialty shops selling "mouth-watering" preserved fruits are becoming rare, yet hawthorn flakes have not been eliminated by time. As a child, I would pop a whole stack into my mouth while drinking bitter herbal tea, the sweet and tart flavors countering the bitterness. Growing up, it became a sentimental attachment—eating them slice by slice and savoring them slowly to satisfy a craving, reliving the taste of childhood memories.
