staple food. In ancient times, the general rulers of China emphasized agriculture over commerce. That is to say, at that time, the agricultural development in our country was still relatively good, and the farming technology was also improving day by day. During the Three Kingdoms period, people ate staple foods with regional differences. In the south, because it was rainy and the climate was relatively hot, most of them were paddy fields, and the grain produced was what we now call rice. There is actually a historical allusion about this.

Xia Houdun, a general in Cao Wei's camp, at that time, the weather in the south was dry, with little rain, and locusts caused a shortage of food, so the people's life was very difficult at that time, so this man led the soldiers to build water conservancy projects, and the people relied on it to solve the problem of food and clothing. In the north, rain is scarce, so the staple food is mainly millet, which is what we call millet now.

during the yellow turban insurrectionary, many people could only eat the bark of grass roots. It is said that at that time, the refugees led a barren life, and what's more, they even ate people. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others openly regard ordinary people as "vegetable people". (as a food) "didn't get better until the late Three Kingdoms.

As for pasta, it was not invented by Brother Pig until Zhuge Liang. At that time, people's main food was millet (millet), and meat was generally mainly barbecue, and wine was only one or two degrees, which was very monotonous.

Second, meat. In fact, in the Three Kingdoms period, the ancient people's meals were already very rich, so there would be a lot of meat on people's tables, and the common ones were chickens, ducks, pigs and other common livestock. There is more water in the south, so people there will have eaten seafood.

However, in the Three Kingdoms period, there was no slaughter of cattle, and there was no beef on their table, because there was already an iron plow in Niu Geng. Therefore, if you work in the farmland, the power of the cow can top several people, so how can you eat it?

But at that time, after all, it was a troubled time, and it was up to the soldiers to bravely kill the enemy at the front. So sometimes, in order to reward the three armed forces, the marshal would order the cattle to be killed and give the soldiers a good meal.
