A Dream of Red Mansions takes Jia Xue's four families as the trace, and describes the life of the upper class aristocrats, with Jia family as the main one. Jia spends most of his life at home except going out to socialize. Since you are in your own home, it is inevitable to write about food, clothing, housing and transportation and three meals a day. Jia's dishes are very rich and varied, whether it's daily diet or holiday celebrations. Now many of them are delicious, not as good as eggplant, lotus leaf soup, stewed elbow with ham, rotten goose's feet and duck letter, etc. If you want to know Jia's day, you can actually start with eating. How many meals does China Jia eat in A Dream of Red Mansions? Jia's eating habits are different from our modern life. Normally, it should be three meals, but the Jia family usually has four or five meals. If it's a treat or a banquet, that's another matter. Take Granny Liu's day in Jiafu as an example. Breakfast is equivalent to lunch. The breakfast mentioned in this article is not breakfast, but lunch. This involves the language differences between the north and the south. Breakfast in the south is breakfast, and breakfast in the north is lunch. According to the article, it should be that Jia Fu is in the capital, that is, the north, so Jia Fu follows the north. Everyone in a dream of red mansions seems to have no habit of eating breakfast. Neither Baoyu, Daiyu nor Jia Mu described their breakfast. Jia's meals are uniformly supplied by the kitchen and then distributed to various yards. Baoyu, Daiyu and Sanchun usually have dinner with Grandmother Jia. They eat at the grandmother's place, and Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng's daughter-in-law and grandchildren have to wait for dinner, so the important part of the dinner scene is in the grandmother's room. Xi-feng asked Mrs. Wang where she had breakfast. Mrs. Wang said, "Ask the old lady where she is, that's all." ... at that time, Jia and others all went to Tanchun's bedroom to chat after dinner. Here, I cleaned up the remaining table and put another table. Grandmother Jia took Granny Liu to the Grand View Garden. This day's meal was not served in the grandmother's room at first, but in the place that the grandmother liked. After breakfast, Grandmother Jia packed her things and went to the Grand View Garden. She had already visited Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Granny Liu. Because we don't eat breakfast, Jia's lunch time will be earlier. After lunch, everyone tidied up for a while, and then went to Tanchun's bedroom, which is the main room. I overheard a group of young performers, Ling Guan and Fang Guan, performing music, so the old lady invited them to perform in the garden. They strolled around and everyone had a good time, so there was another chance for a reception and dinner. Extra small parties and snacks. This kind of extra small gathering is after lunch, everyone sits together to drink tea, chat and eat snacks. However, because this is for granny Liu, it will be especially grand, but this meal is not a routine operation. Besides this wine order, Baoyu and others also went to Xue Lu Temple to roast venison. The lotus leaf soup that Baoyu wanted to eat when he was injured, which Wang Xifeng cooked for everyone to eat together, was also an extra addition. Here, Feng and others are all dressed up ... Everyone is seated, and the old lady laughs first: "Let's have two cups first, and it will be interesting to order today." What Jia ate more this time was to take everyone's lunch game and take everyone to drink and have fun. That was not the case. Jia also asked everyone to order wine together. Granny Liu naturally became the object of everyone's amusement. Grandma Liu's drinking order is correct in the local village dialect, but it is also interesting, such as "a radish and a garlic" and "burning a caterpillar". Granny Liu was drunk by Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang because it was a cold drink. Later, grandma Liu got drunk and danced while listening to music. You can also order afternoon tea at noon. Noon is the meal between lunch and dinner, which is an essential meal for Jia family, so my girl will also serve snacks on time. This meal is simpler than a normal meal, because I'm just a little hungry and need to supplement my food, because dinner will be very simple. At that time, I saw the maids come to treat me to a snack. "After two glasses of wine, I won't be hungry," said Grandmother Jia. . All right, bring it here and we'll eat some ourselves. "Everyone is used to eating these foods. Jia saw the lotus root starch Osmanthus Jelly and goose oil roll, and felt greasy, so he just ate one. Grandma Liu and Xiao Baner have tasted everything because they haven't eaten anything. Jia's food is quite exquisite, so it is generally not large, so just eat a small half plate and it will be gone. After lunch, Jia naturally took Granny Liu on her way, and then they went to Cuiqi Temple in Miaoyu for tea, which coincided with snacks and afternoon tea. Basically, after shopping for so long, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were tired, so after entertaining Jia Mu and having a rest, Mrs. Wang also slept on the cool sofa. Everyone is resting at this time. Granny Liu was drunk, and because of her stomachache, she went to Hongyi Hospital in Baoyu for a sleep. Fortunately, Aaron found her and brought her out in time. Dinner, cooking an important meal of the day. Basically, when people wake up, it's time for dinner. In fact, it is better to eat less according to the elegant statement, but dinner has always been regarded as the most important meal in the family, especially in Jia's family. When Daiyu entered Jia Fu, the dinner she attended for the first time was extremely grand. Grandmother Jia woke up and set a meal in Daoxiang Village. The old lady was too lazy to eat, so she moved a bamboo chair back to her room to rest and ordered Feng and others to eat. His sister Fang went back to the garden. Jia's wife and his wife don't do much business on weekdays. They basically eat very little, but the dinner is still very grand. It's just that everyone is very tired today, and we ate a lot at noon, so we can't eat dinner. Snacks, not always and not often. Jia's cooking has a regular time. Except for my own small kitchen, I usually eat regularly. Midnight snack is the last diet in a day. The ancients generally went to bed earlier, so they probably didn't eat midnight snack. Jia's family usually doesn't prepare or eat, and it usually lasts until a very late banquet. The almond tea eaten by Jia's family on the night of Lantern Festival belongs to midnight snack, but these foods must not be prepared at ordinary times. Granny Liu didn't prepare a midnight snack tonight, because there was no activity at night and Grandmother Jia was tired.
