also known as Fujian soup, to show that the whole table was full. Hot dishes must be served with soup and water. Chicken, duck, fish, fresh goods, fungi and seasonal vegetables are not tasty, but shredded, sliced, sliced, diced and fried, which changes endlessly.

However, there are still many kinds of folk water mat practices, such as sweet rice as the last dish.

nowadays, it is fashionable to talk about nutrition and seek nourishment. Luoyang water mat is sweet and salty, with meat and vegetables, and its dishes are clear and oily. The eight cold dishes in Luoyang water mat are themed with "clothing, ceremony, elegance, desire, art, culture, Zen and politics" respectively:

"clothing": egg yolk is made into an egg coat and tied to the dish.

"ceremony": remove the deer tendon and roll it into a white hook, which looks like a bow. (There are also other materials instead) The look and feel is white and crystal clear, and it is placed in an orderly manner on the plate, reflecting the courtesy.

"Tao": roll up the fragrant stuffing with spiced rotten sheets (with the fungus and fungus growing in the fragrant wormwood on the bank of Luohe after the rain). It is best to call it "geosphere" in the local dialect. ) I don't know the inside outside, I don't know the taste inside, and it has an indescribable delicious feeling when I eat it in my mouth.

"Desire": Take the waist flower of a three-year-old dog, cut it into pieces, open it in the middle, embed it in the inner waist of a rooster when it is full of years old, decorate it with Lycium barbarum, and surround it with Cordyceps sinensis, so that it looks magnificent and gorgeous, and the food can strengthen the yang and replenish the deficiency.

"Art": In the past, dishes were made from crispy lotus and sparrow tongue. It means that the lotus is picturesque and the birds are singing in spring, which means that it is picturesque and peaceful. Of course, today we want to protect birds, and the tongue has been replaced.

"Wen": use green bamboo shoots to adjust the carp into a dish. Bamboo shoots are the soul of bamboo, bamboo is the friend of literature, and literature becomes the principle of the world (carp).

"Zen": Wu Zetian once became a monk, which is considered to be related to Buddhism and Zen. This dish is vegetarian and non-greasy.

"Zheng": made of goose breast and goose web. Wild geese migrate when they know that it is cold and warm, and the goose's feet are floating. The metaphor of the regime should know that the world is warm and cold, and the public opinion is reflected. Today, the goose breast has been replaced by the goose breast.

The sixteen hot dishes in Luoyang Water Seats are themed with "Four Town Tables, Eight Big Pieces and Four Sweeps" respectively:

Four Town Tables

1, Swallow Cuisine-now the Swallow Cuisine in Luoyang has been renamed as "Peony Swallow Cuisine". Because Premier Zhou Enlai accompanied Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau to visit Luoyang in October, 1973, Luoyang city leaders entertained him with water seats. The famous chef carefully made a peony flower with eggs and put it on the swallow dish. Premier Zhou was very happy to see it and said, "Luoyang peony is the best in the world, and peony flowers are also in the dishes." Since then, Swallow's Dish has been renamed "Peony Swallow's Dish".

2. Braised Tiger Head Carp with Onions-Carp is the top grade of long-bearded carp produced by Mengjin Yellow River, and it is put on a plate with its mouth open and its head held high. Now, the fish head must be the honored person, the elder, or your friend who is seated at the table. It is a sign of respect and courtesy that someone who is seated at the table moves chopsticks first.

3, cloud cover fermented bean curd-the person sitting in the lower seat moves chopsticks first. According to legend, all the four sons born to Wu Zetian in those years dissatisfied her, but she was very happy with Princess Taiping. Later, Taiping married Xue Shao, and when she sent her daughter to get married, Wu Shi painted her own milk on the meat and told her to eat it, so that her daughter would not forget all of my heart of the old mother.

4. Dried rice rises to a hundred colors-that is, stewed cabbage with dried rice, which is called "hundred colors" for a good luck. Cabbage is sometimes vegetarian, which is really for the first two meat dishes.

Eight pieces (divided into the first five and the last three)

The first five pieces are "Kuai San Xiang", "Wuliu Fish", "Fish Kernel", "Diced Chicken" and "Fried Crane Breast".

The last three are three kinds of sweets, including eight-treasure rice, sweet shredded pork and sweet and sour tenderloin.

The four sweeps

are "shark fin flower arrangement", "golden monkey exploring the sea", "opening squid for spring" and "Bibo umbrella pill" in turn.

"Bibo Umbrella Pill" is a "meatball", but because it sounds like "finished", when Wu Zetian was ill, she ate the last dish and heard it as "finished". She sighed and realized at this time, but it was too late. Then he shouted, I'm going to die, too. For this reason, people in the future can't help feeling a little disappointed when eating a draft mat, and always think of a woman's death. It is said that since the Northern Song Dynasty, this last dish was changed into a bowl of sour and refreshing egg-coated soup, which has been preserved to this day.

It's funny that even if the name of the last dish is changed, it's always rare for people to get together. Ironically, the last dish is called "Fuck off soup".
