Nowadays, the Buddha jumping wall is generally made of abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, yak hide glue, Pleurotus eryngii, beef tendon, mushrooms, cuttlefish, scallops and quail eggs. , heightening soup and Fujian old wine simmer.
They are all top-grade high-grade ingredients, and each can be cooked into a high-grade dish independently.
Preparing these materials will not happen overnight. I have never seen or heard of some ingredients, such as fish lips and yak skin glue. Ordinary restaurants and ordinary chefs simply can't do it.
Expensive, expensive raw materials, expensive labor. Only "noble people" can afford it, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.
There is a saying in the northeast stew that the Buddha jumps over the wall from Fushou Spring, a famous dish in Fujian. It is made from chicken, duck, sheep elbow, pig's trotters, ribs and pigeon eggs by slow fire. I have seen and eaten all these ingredients. Chicken, duck, sheep, elbow and pig's trotters are all hard dishes, which can satisfy both appetite and appetite. Why do you want to simmer soup together?
Liang Shiqiu wrote an article "Buddha jumps over the wall", saying that it took nearly two weeks before and after cooking this dish. "It is no longer the original variety of different tastes, but blindly. It is mellow and sweet, and its teeth and cheeks are fragrant. It will be unforgettable in two or three days. " Take two weeks, two or three days to enjoy. Ordinary people can afford it, but few people will spend time on it.
"In this way, the Buddha jumps over the wall like a high-end hodgepodge cooked in a pot." That's true. But we ordinary people can eat a low-level hodgepodge that is cooked to pieces. For example, the stew and stir-fry of northeast dishes are both economical and delicious.
Of course, eating now is not only to fill the stomach, but also a culture-food culture.
It is also a food culture, and the cultural person Su Shi left a famous dish-Dongpo pork, or Dongpo elbow. In Su Shi's era, the mainstream food culture was to eat mutton, which was graded. Pork is cheap and tasteless, so most people can't cook. Su Shi cooked cheap pork into a famous dish through the ages.
I dare not say that Dongpo meat can be divided into essence and dross, but culture must be divided into mass and minority. Precious Buddha jumps over the wall. It's good to eat occasionally.
There is also a saying that the inventor of this dish is a group of beggars. Beggars collect all kinds of leftovers that will come one day and reprocess them. A restaurant owner went out and smelled a strange smell. He was greatly encouraged. After returning to the store, he mixed all kinds of raw materials with wine and created the Buddha jumping wall.
This statement, people who can't afford to eat Buddha jumping over the wall, are willing to accept it; Those who can bear the Buddha jumping over the wall are unwilling to accept it.
