At this time, do glutinous rice dumplings Li Si, has also cleaned up the frying pan, squatting there to rest. The two men greeted each other, they chatted up the day, talk to talk about, talked about Qin Hui killed Yue Fei things up.

One was a scoundrel with hanging eyebrows, and the other was a woman with a crooked mouth. He grabbed a knife and made a horizontal cut to the neck of the scoundrel, and a vertical cut to the belly of the crooked-mouthed woman. Li Si saw, that is not just right, he ran back to his stall, the frying pan to Wang Er baked biscuits on the stove, the two cut off the cut off the noodle person to pinch, back to back glued together, thrown into the boiling hot frying pan to deep-fry. While deep-frying the dumplings, they shouted, "Come and see the deep-fried hinoki! Everyone, come and see the fried hinoki!"

When they saw these two ugly people in the frying pan, being fried by the boiling oil, they understood what was going on, and shouted along with them; "Look, look, look, look, deep-fried hinoki! Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look!" Coincidentally, Qin Hui was sitting in the eight-carried sedan chair, is from the palace to return to his home, through the bridge from An.

Qin Hui in the sedan chair heard the noisy shouts, feel the sound of this straight to the heart of their own, called to stop the sedan chair, and immediately sent troops to arrest people. Soldiers crowded into the crowd, the Wang Er and Li Si arrested, even the frying pan also end to the front of the sedan chair, Qin Hui saw the frying pan fried black two ugly people, angry beard roots are up, out of the sedan chair to howl loudly: "Good big guts! You want to rebel?" Wang Er was unusually calm in his heart and replied, "We are small businessmen, we dare not be interested in rebellion?"

Qin Hui said, "In that case, how dare you misuse my name?"

Wang Er said, "Aiya, Mr. Chancellor, you are '桧' next to wood, and I am '烩' next to fire! "At this point, the crowd of onlookers all shouted, "Yes, yes, the sound is the same word is different!" Qin Hui had nothing to say. He looked at the two ugly people floating in the frying pan and droned, "Don't nag! How can you eat something that's been fried to black charcoal! It's clearly two unruly people, gathering a crowd to cause trouble and deceiving the officials!" Hearing Qin Hui say this, the crowd immediately stood out two people, said: "This is the way to fry, this is the way to fry!" One side fished up the noodle man in the frying pan.

And also repeatedly said: "delicious, delicious! The more I eat the teeth more freely, really want to swallow it in one mouth!"

Taboos and side effects

1. should not often eat fritters

You know, fritters belong to the high-temperature deep-fried food, the oil temperature of 190 ° C, and the oil is used repeatedly, which will result in the aging of the grease color darker, viscosity becomes larger, the odor increases, the grease contains a variety of nutrients such as essential fatty acids, various vitamins and other ingredients, basic or Vitamins and other components, basic or all oxidized, unsaturated fatty acids polymerization, the formation of dimers, polymers and other macromolecular compounds, these substances are not easy to be digested and absorbed by the body (97.5% absorption rate of soybean oil at room temperature, peanut oil is 98.3%).

Animal experiments have proved that rats fed with feed containing high-temperature heated fats and oils for a few months have gastric damage and papillomas, and have hepatomas and lung adenomas. Therefore, it is believed that high-temperature fats and oils have the possibility of causing cancer, and people should pay great attention to this. Many scholars believe that: unsaturated fatty acids by repeated high-temperature heating of various types of polymers, especially dimers and other toxicity is very strong, a large number of animal experiments have shown that these polymers can affect the normal development of animals, reduce fertility, so that liver function abnormalities, liver enlargement.

Again, the alkali and alum added to the dough of the doughnut and the nutrients of the flour has a certain destructive effect, so in order to prevent the aging of the oil, in the frying of the doughnuts, we should often replace the new oil, minimize or reduce the production of harmful substances.

In addition, doughnuts contain aluminum, which is a low-toxicity, non-essential trace element that is an important factor in causing many brain diseases. It is an inhibitor of many enzymes and its toxicity can affect protein synthesis and neuromediators. Aluminum can inhibit the activity of enzymes in the brain, thus worsening the mental state. Therefore, long-term excessive intake of aluminum can lead to Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, the doughnuts do not often as a breakfast food, but for flavor, occasionally eat once on the body is no harm.

2. Recovering patients and the elderly should not eat doughnuts

Food contains a variety of nutrients, is to maintain life, regulate physiological function, metabolism indispensable substances. For recovery patients can also play a repair and restore damaged tissues and organs, increase the body's resistance.

Jin Gui Yao Liao wrote: "the flavor contained in the disease, there are appropriate with the disease, there are harmful to the body, if you get appropriate is suitable for the body, harmful to the disease." It shows that diet has a close relationship with the health of the body and the occurrence and recovery of disease.

Doughnuts are high-temperature fried foods with a high melting point, and stay in the stomach for a long time, making them difficult to digest and affecting sleep. Most of the nutrients in the doughnuts are destroyed, and the high-temperature oil also contains certain toxic substances, which will affect the body's recovery and health. The elderly due to the physiological function is declining, stomach function is reduced, intestinal absorption ability is poor, should not eat greasy and difficult to digest food.

The normal amount of food for the elderly has been reduced, metabolic disorders, easy to cause some vitamin deficiencies, such as VB1.VB2, etc., after the high-temperature frying of the fritters precisely the two vitamins destroyed the most. Coupled with the harmful substances contained in the oil pollution, easy to make old age diseases such as coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and other high incidence, affecting the health of the elderly, which is not conducive to the elderly to enhance physical fitness and longevity.

3. Pregnant women and children should not eat

Pregnant women and children are in the stage of increasing nutrition, strengthen the body, a variety of nutrients demand full and more. Pregnant women should choose the right diet, to avoid eating stimulating and indigestible food is very important, and the doughnut belongs to the indigestible food, does not meet the dietary requirements of pregnant women.

After the high temperature of the fat contained in essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E was oxidized and destroyed, so that the nutritional value of the fat is reduced, the consumption of doughnuts, it is difficult to play a role in supplementing a variety of nutrients, but also cause anorexia, so that pregnant women should not eat doughnuts.

Toddlers should not eat high-temperature fried food, in addition to the above unfavorable factors, there are high-temperature fats in the fatty acids in the intestinal tract and calcium combined with calcium saponin calcium, from the intestinal tract to exclude, affecting the young children's absorption of calcium, easy to cause young children to predilection, affecting the normal development of young children. In summary, the doughnut is a traditional food, but often eat, is not good for human health.
