Soil Roasted Beans & a Chinese Bean Game

[@helgaioannidis9365]

You know how precocious these videos are from an ethnological point of view? The quick urbanisation and industrialization of China changes the social life in the country and a lot of traditions get lost. So having documents like these where you show step by step the process are a real treasure. Thank you not only for the beauty and harmony you share with us and lighten up our hearts with,but also for preserving the heritage of the village, you live in. Love ♥️

[@再續前緣-z2c]

当初我们是拒绝工业化与城市化的，因为我们是传统的农耕社会，喜欢乡村的田园生活，但不工业化就落后，就跟世界脱轨，就要挨打，这是血的教训，你说我们能怎么办，只有先解决落后问题，再慢慢适当的恢复一些传统。谢谢你的意见，我们会逐步慢慢改善的。

[@myhomeistravelling1455]

Miriam, your videos make me feel so calm. You have an admirable ability to transfer to us exactly the feeling on what is to be there with you guys. I love to learn more about Chinese culture. Thanks for that

[@JC-zy5gg]

Miriam, I love your channel, it’s my favorite on KZbin. The contents are so wholesome, everyone speaks so respectfully, you and husband is just lovely and sweet towards each other, baby boy Sansan is so cute and everyone in the fam just seem like such good people.

[@SOKA.28]

U showed us again, our traditions, our appreciation towards Nature's Goodies. Connecting us back with our roots, otherwise forgotten. Surrounded by all processed canned foods...

[@angeleyddemoness]

Awwww it's so cute when he takes the beans💜

[@cz964]

He's adorable and he gets to do what kids do. No yelling or stopping from anyone. No fuss. It's beautiful to watch.

[@xli422]

In old traditional Chinese culture, we respect the mother nature and mother land in so many ways. Using the soil to boil the beans was one of it. Love your films and the peace of Chinese life you bring to us. That makes me home sick. I love China and my families in China.

[@yvonnebirch6026]

These family videos are so precious. Thank you ! Love from California 💕🌷

With cooking skills and recipes, this family could open a restaurant

In love watching your family and the simple, natured life you have in rural China. Beautiful vlog.

[@rhonda5056]

Dear Mariam Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned so much. Your videos make me long for the days in the rural area where we lived off the land. So many precious moments.Your nephew is learning a lot. So glad his grandparents are teaching him.

[@GladysRWhite]

How very interesting video. In India they do a similar process using hot sand to "pop" rice. Thank you so much for sharing these traditions and way of life with all of us! Love your videos.

[@itskristyproject5901]

I love that when Sansan takes the bean, you replaced it without saying anything to him. ❤

I noticed how sweet that was.

Yea, but that is her husband💓

[@ildiko1vt]

so interesting! thank you for sharing the customs of China with us. Wonderful filming!

[@haowen3964]

As a Chinese, this is the first time I see people cook beans in this way, maybe this method is only in Qinghai province, very west in China.

[@yongweiwang9362]

@@haowen3964 In Liaoning, we cook chestnut this way too.

[@ramesh8504]

This sand-frying method is pretty common in India as well. Common usage of this method include puffed rice, whole roasted peanuts, popcorn, etc.

[@pragawa]

Exactly!

[@daokedao123]

At my childhood, we used to buy the cooked beans like these for snacks to eat... And we loved them too much... And now i know where they wete from.

[@choufahsiung5059]

Excellent video! Childhood was so natural!

[@jvpvnfxxk441]

Because the soft soil on the bottom of the pot can ensure that the soybeans are evenly heated. There is no gap between the soybeans and the bottom of the pot. The heat of the soil wraps the soybeans and makes them more delicious. I'm in Shanxi Province, where people fry soybeans with sand, very soft sand 。its same reason, different ways

[@lilyho231]

Your photography skill is most admired!! And your little kiddo iz super duper adorable!! You both are blessed with that beautiful child!! Greetings from Malaysia!! ❤️❤️❤️🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@lindaliew2312]

Yes AGREED

[@astroyang5083]

I would like to say the snack is the traditional in Qinghai province of China. There are huge difference in snacks in China between the 31 provinces. Anyway, Like your vedio s. Many thanks.

Amazing video as always Miriam ☺️👍

[@madelinkoh]

We call this "kidney bean" cos it looks like shape of kidney. I love to eat it, same goes to my children. We always bought it from the grocery store and they said it from China. Now only I know how it is processed, I used to wonder how it was done. Very delicious. Love from Malaysia

[@yananneteoh9818]

I don't think it's kidney beans; more like runner beans.

[@madelinkoh]

@curiouslysimple TQ for correcting it.

[@yananneteoh9818]

@curiouslysimple You're right.

[@cliffleung5950]

when I was young in Cannton ,this bean we call 蘭花豆,we just fire it in the wok until the skin of the bean crack

[@Simonezsm]

看起来像蚕豆

[@AL-jm7bx]

Maybe you should explain why Chinese eat these beans on that day. It is spring and time for planting according to lunar calendar. They want a prosperous year with lots to harvest in the fall.

[@aixiangding4240]

The way they handle and cook these must derive from the rich life experience, filling with wisdom of "life"

[@noplantravelyaping2439]

This is my favorite bean as a snack. But we cook the bean by boiling with herbal and salt . It was so delicious--childhood memories --this soil cooking way is only for peanut in central China

[@jlewsf]

love fava beans, salted and fried....

[@ceciliaszendroine7525]

All your videos are very interesting but it's even more surprising. Much can be learned from old habits. let's keep it and share more of them

[@lisalancework7999]

This has to be one of loveliest shows ever/and it’s real! Such a shame your husband says many now buy beans -instead of making -these are beautiful traditions

甘肃人，小时候买来吃的蚕豆里面有很细很细的土。一直以为是蚕豆表面脱落的。今天才知道原因？哈哈，甘肃和青海做法一样的，这蚕豆需要金刚牙才咬得动。

[@Marvee78]

We roast nuts, especially peanuts and pine nuts like this in Pakistan too. The sand is fine like the one in China, but the colour is black.

[@AL-jm7bx]

When you roast many time, the sand or stones turn black because of the oil.The nuts. They can be reused.

[@laurabeihong9244]

太有意思了！土炒豆子竟然会爆跳飞跃起来…，米粒的片子总给人不一样的视角，美好！🌹

Is there any way you can change the font on the video? Or make it a darker color ? I find the white font makes it hard to read on a light background, because there is no contrast.😀Thank you . Sharon

[@cz964]

算不上了不起，姑娘显然举得老公的文化（生活方式）很有吸引力，老公也很合拍值得在一起。跨文化走都一起彼此都有牺牲。人家米粒可不“傻”哦。看多了他们的视频我觉得他们很般配

With the grey jump suit, San San looks like the 90s British Teletubby, so cute! But I must comment that in the beginning of the clip, looking at the poor disheveled dog being chained makes me feel sad! Hope they can allow dogs to run around. Thanks

[@AbsoluteMiniacGena]

Your hubby isn’t quite ‘Jackie chan’ 😆 As for little Sansan, he must have the biggest pockets full of beans. You’re a lovely family Miriam. Where is your nephews Mum? Does she work away, or just dislike being on camera?
