Pre-Qin clerk: Please go inside. Excuse me, is the guest officer staying in a hotel?
Modern people crossing: sharp! A bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Shop assistant in pre-Qin Dynasty: Sorry, sir, noodles didn't take shape until the Song Dynasty. Moreover, tomatoes were made in the United States and were not introduced to China until the late Qing Dynasty. There are only eggs in the shop at present. Do you want to order one?
Modern people crossing: what a bird shop! There is not even a bowl of noodles. There's always steamed bread, right? Take the last drawer!
Pre-Qin clerk: Neither did this gentleman. Steamed bread will wait until Zhuge, the prime minister of Shu Han, cuts Meng Huo. I feel sorry for you.
Modern people crossing: wipe! You don't just serve white rice, do you?
Pre-Qin clerk: Sorry, we are in Guanzhong. Rice originated in the subtropical zone, so we have to cross the Qinling Mountains to plant it. Neither have we.
Modern people crossing: dying! Have a chivalrous set meal. Two daughters are red, and half a catty of cooked beef ... why are you covering my mouth?
Pre-Qin clerk: guest officer, keep your voice down! The imperial court forbids slaughtering cattle privately, but being sued is a big crime of banishment. Never dare!
Modern Time Crossing: Yes, I can't drink either. There's always tea, right?
A shop assistant in pre-Qin dynasty: tea? It didn't appear until the Han Dynasty. Even in the Tang dynasty, it was drunk by literati and could not be had.
Modern people crossing: then don't eat. Let's provide some fruit. Half a watermelon on a hot day.
Shop assistant in pre-Qin Dynasty: Er, watermelon was a specialty of Africa, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that people began to plant it. ...
Modern people crossing: Without watermelon, there must be apples, right?
Clerk: Sorry, apples were introduced to China from Europe in the19th century. Please don't order fruit, sir. I can tell you responsibly that you can't eat any grapes, mangoes, pomegranates, strawberries and pineapples now.
Modern people who travel through time and space: What's in your shop?
Pre-Qin clerk: You can dip the corn cake in the meat sauce, and I can also serve you a spicy cabbage.
Modern people crossing: Do you dare to open a mala Tang restaurant?
A shop assistant in the pre-Qin period: Look at what you said, Chili was introduced only in the Ming Dynasty, and I can't open mala Tang even if I want to!
Modern people cross: there is no pepper, so garlic can be used instead.
Pre-Qin clerk: Sorry, garlic seeds were brought back by Zhang Qian after he went to the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty. There are only peppers in the shop, only hemp is not spicy.
Modern people crossing: then you can't fry a vegetable? Must Chinese cabbage be boiled in boiling water?
Pre-Qin clerk: You don't know, sir. Iron pots were not produced until the late Song Dynasty, so they could not cook. Besides, vegetable oil should be used for cooking, and it will not be available until rape flowers are planted on a large scale in the late Ming Dynasty.
Modern Time Traveler: Well, you can actually use peanut oil. ...
A shop assistant in the pre-Qin period: Peanut is an American plant, and it didn't spread until Columbus discovered the New World. Until the last years of Qianlong, peanuts were still rare.
Modern people crossing: top your lungs! Let's have a spicy cabbage with more coriander.
Pre-Qin clerk: Hey, coriander originated in China, after Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions. ...
Modern Time Crossing: Fuck you! I hate that I can't shoot you to death with a cucumber!
A clerk in pre-Qin Dynasty: Cucumber? Cucumber is native to India, and it was also brought back by Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. What else do you want, guest officer?
Modern people cross: ...
Pre-Qin clerk: Hey, guest officer ... don't go!

The previous staple food processing was time-consuming and laborious, including harvesting, hulling, grinding and pasta molding. Looking at the recipes of the Tang Dynasty, the staple food at that time was all kinds of scones. I can imagine the joy when I first saw potatoes and sweet potatoes: * * *! Such a big piece of grain? Dig it out and you can eat it? It is reported that with the large-scale planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes, China is fully opening the eight-child policy. There are sweet potatoes, brave love.
