Originated from the spiritual root education of Journey to the West, the mind is cultivated on the road-the next day, the monkeys went to pick peaches, different fruits, plane yam, incense ashes, Yao grass and exotic flowers and plants, arranged neatly, spread out stone benches and put fairy dishes on them.

But look at that: golden marble, red and yellow. Golden marbles beat cherries, and the color is really sweet. Red, yellow, fat and ripe plums taste sour. Longan is fresh, with sweet flesh and thin skin. Fire litchi, the nuclear vesicle is red.

In Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes, Guo Jing invited Huang Rong to eat a meal, which made everyone relish and called Guo Jing a local tyrant.

At that time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong first met in Zhangjiakou, and Huang Rong pretended to be a beggar, which aroused Guo Jing's sympathy. Unexpectedly, he invited Xiaohua out for dinner, but it cost him nearly twenty taels of silver. What exactly did they eat?

Four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour fruits and four candied fruits;

"These four kinds of dried fruits are litchi, longan, steamed jujube and ginkgo. Fresh fruit is new when it is picked. Salty and sour cherries and ginger plums are needed. I wonder if I can buy them here? Candied fruit? It's rose kumquat, fragrant grapes, frosted peach strips and pear meat. "

Eight dining tables:

"Eight tables of dishes are boiled quail, fried duck's paw, chicken tongue soup, deer belly Jiang Yao, fried beef tendon with mandarin duck, shredded chrysanthemum rabbit, fried legs, ginger vinegar and gold and silver hooves."

12 dinner +8 snacks:

"With twelve dishes and eight snacks, it's almost there." Well, as long as such a set of local dishes, the Spring Festival menu can't be written anymore.

In Haruki Murakami's novels, there are often descriptions of food and wine, but there are few luxurious meals, mostly simple meals or home-cooked meals for one person.

In "Norwegian Forest", he wrote that "I" went to Lv Zi's house for dinner and enjoyed a sumptuous meal with Kansai flavor:

"Green food is quite abundant, far beyond my imagination. Raw roe slices, yellow poached eggs, homemade pickled Spanish mackerel, stewed eggplant, shepherd's purse soup, mushroom rice, and finely sliced dried radish pickles, which are thickly covered with sesame seeds. The taste is very light and it is an authentic Kansai flavor. "

"I" can't help but admire Lv Zi's skill. This delicious meal not only warmed my stomach, but also warmed my heart lost in youth.

Ethan Frome, a handsome young farmer, married a wife seven years older than him, but his married life was extremely depressed. Later, his wife's cousin Marty came to the farm to help and shone the sun into his dark life. On this day, just as his wife was on a business trip, Ethan and Marty had a meal alone for the first time, which was a rare warm moment for them-

"She put the lamp on the table, and he saw that dinner had been carefully arranged, with fresh fried cakes, boiled cranberries and several kinds of pickles he loved, all in a gorgeous red glass plate. The fire was blazing in the kitchen, and the cat slept lazily in front of the kitchen, staring at the dining table with half-asleep eyes. The feeling of happiness blocked Ethan's nose and mouth ... "

Although the dinner was not rich, it was full of Marty's gentleness.

5. Sauced beef

Wu pedant in "The Water Margin" said that the three Ruans collided with Gongsun Sheng and the seven stars would get together. When Wu Yong tried to persuade the three Ruans to join the life-saving program, when they met the three Ruans, the four of them sat down and asked the bartender to bring a bucket of wine.

The bartender set four headlights, four pairs of chopsticks, four dishes, made a bucket of wine and put it on the table. Ruan Xiaoer asked, "What can I do for you?" The second brother said, "The new ox has been slaughtered, and the flower cake is as delicious as beef."

Ruan Xiaoer said, "Cut ten catties in chunks." As it was getting late, Wu Yong took out one or two pieces of silver and paid it to Ruan. He asked his master to sell a vat of wine, borrowed a vat, and bought 20 Jin of sauce beef and a pair of big chickens.
