Food is not only used to satisfy people’s hunger, but also carries people’s original and most primitive memories. In the eyes of hungry people, food is the material basis for survival; in the eyes of artists, food is an unpredictable art; in the eyes of old people who miss their hometown, food is the most fragrant and sweetest memory of their youth.
Amidst the smoke, people’s pursuit of food and delicious food has never stopped... Let me introduce it below! As early as in the Chinese classic "A Dream of Red Mansions", there is a description of Grandma Liu's visit to the Grand View Garden and her description of the eggplant and other delicacies. Peel the new eggplants, cut them into small pieces, fry them with chicken, set them aside, add chicken breasts and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried bean curd, and various dried fruits, cut them into pieces, simmer them in chicken soup, Add sesame oil, stir thoroughly, add the chicken feet, cut into cubes, and mix into the dish. The process of making a dish is so complicated, one can’t help but sigh that rich people are amazing!
Shrimp ball and chicken skin soup, steamed duck with fermented wine, rouge goose breast, butter pine ladle rolls, and a large bowl of hot steamed green border fragrant rice. It became an easy meal for the young masters and sisters in the Jia family.
Have you ever felt hungry just hearing the name of the dish?
Meng Yuanlao also wrote about a lot of food in his "Tokyo Menghua Lu", such as street rice, roasted meat, and dried preserved meat in the south of Longjin Bridge. There are badgers, wild foxes and chickens in front of the Wang Tower. Meijialujia's steamed buns, chicken skin, kidney kidneys, and minced chicken are all very reasonably priced, only fifteen cents each. The ancient people's life of delicious food was such a feast for the eyes that it made people salivate for three thousand miles.
Licorice, ice and snow cold water, lychee ointment, plum ginger, and golden prunes are all placed in a golden red box, which is both pleasing to the eye and interesting. Winter moon rabbit, roasted pork skin, wild duck meat, crispy crystal carp, fried tongs, pig offal, etc. are sold day and night. This can also be compared to today's night market barbecue stalls. A late night meal, surrounded by aroma, all the fatigue of the day is gone. Various fruits should also be available, such as dried preserved fruits, lettuce shoots, mustard melons, Yitang melons, Weizhou peaches, Nanjing golden peaches, water pears, golden apricots, Xiaoyao plums, red water chestnuts, Shajiaoer, medicinal herbs. Papaya and more. Those who love meat will definitely want to try Dongpo Pork, which is shiny, soft, waxy, mellow and juicy. The color is red and bright, the meat is plump and tender. When you take a bite, the fat meat is smooth but not greasy, and the lean meat is soft and cooked. It’s truly the most delicious thing in the world!
? Those who like vegetarian food can also enjoy the enjoyment of "eating three hundred lychees a day"; the comfort and leisure of "cabbage brown rice, earthen pot of chrysanthemum tea"; and the enjoyment of "two liters of she millet rice, a handful" The contentment of "Qi Siong Soup"...
Traditional food carries the emotions and memories of our Chinese nation. It is integrated into the blood and is the unchanging persistence of the Chinese people.
