Ode to Pork

The good pork in Huangzhou is as cheap as dung. The rich refuse to eat it, and the poor do not know how to cook it. Start the fire slowly and use less water, and the wood-burning stove will not produce smoke.

Don’t rush it until it matures. It will become beautiful when the fire is sufficient. Get up and have a bowl every day, and you will be so full that you don’t care.

Everyone must be familiar with this poem about pork! And when it comes to the dish behind this poem, I am even more "mouth-watering"! This dish is the Dongpo Pork that is loved by everyone from all over the country!

Su Dongpo liked to eat pork. When he was relegated to Huangzhou, he invented the method of making Dongpo pork and wrote this song "Ode to Pork" to teach the people to make it this way. Dongpo meat is fat but not greasy, crispy and fragrant. People praised it and jokingly called it "Dongpo meat"!

One of Huizhou’s specialties/eating lychees

It is spring at the foot of Luofu Mountain, and oranges and red bayberries are fresh every time.

Eating three hundred lychees a day, he has grown up to be a Lingnan native.

Remembering that back then, Su Dongpo could not only eat the freshest lychees, Yang Guifei’s favorite, but also “eat three hundred of them a day”! Huizhou, now Guangdong, has a warm climate, spring-like weather all year round, and is naturally rich in delicacies and fruits. Let's take a look at the "orange", "yangmei" and "lychee" in the poem. They are all fresh and make others envious. Although he was demoted, Su Dongpo had an open-minded and optimistic temperament and took pleasure in eating. For this lychee, he "did not hesitate to become a Lingnan native". He is indeed a foodie!

New arrival in Huangzhou

I laugh at myself that I have been busy with my mouth all my life, but my career has turned ridiculous as I grow older.

As the Yangtze River flows around Guo, you will know the beauty of the fish, and the mountains with good bamboos will feel the fragrance of bamboo shoots.

When chasing guests, you might as well put people outside. The example of the poet is Shui Cao Lang.

It's just shameful that it can't help anything, it's still a waste of money for the officials.

The sentence "laughing at oneself for having a busy mouth all my life" fully expresses the nature of a foodie! Fatty fish from the Yangtze River, bamboo shoots from the mountains, and delicacies from the mountains and seas can satisfy Su Dongpo's appetite. This poem was also written by someone who was demoted to Huangzhou, and contains many self-mockery and feelings of loss. However, Su Dongpo's optimistic character and foodie instincts made him happy and easygoing. His open-mindedness is far beyond ordinary people!

Huanxisha · Ode to Oranges

The chrysanthemums and lotuses withered after a night of frost. The newly budded green leaves illuminate the forest. The bamboo fence and thatched cottage are green and yellow.

The fragrant mist is half startling, and the clear spring is tiring to taste for the first time. Wu Ji's hands still smell good after three days.

Su Dongpo's "Huanxi Sand" sings about oranges alone, and writes the shape of oranges and the process of eating them in detail and vividly! "The chrysanthemums are dark and the lotus withers away overnight," writes about the ripening season of oranges in late autumn when the flowers and grass are withering; "The new buds and green leaves illuminate the forest light" and the following sentences describe the green and yellow color of the oranges, which are bright and radiant!

Xia Que focuses on peeling and eating tangerines. "The fragrant mist is half startling, and the clear spring flows with trepidation for the first time." This sentence is a wonderful description of details! When the orange peel is peeled, water mist will splash out, exuding a refreshing aroma. This aromatic mist surprises the foodie Dongpo; and when you bite the pulp, the juice that is like a clear spring is extremely sweet! Finally, I especially recalled the fragrance of orange peel: the fragrance lingers for three days!

The color is bright, the taste is sweet, the smell is fragrant, and the juice is thick. Being able to write such a detailed and expressive story about eating a small thing like eating an orange shows how delicious Su Dongpo is and how talented he is!

This is a very crisp poem

There is nothing to do in front of the flowers while drinking in the wild. There is only a gourd tied around the waist.

I have poured water into the panzi by mistake, and I am looking for the Jun family to be very crisp.

It is said that there is a little story in this poem: Su Dongpo went to a party one day and asked the host about the name of the fried cake while he was eating it. So crispy?)" So the owner named it "Why is it so crispy?" Later, when Su Dongpo went to the host's house again, he composed this poem "Why is it so crispy".

Drinking in the wild, admiring flowers, looking for friends to ask for crispy cakes, and did not dislike the sourness of the wine (if you add water by mistake, you will add water) Sour wine), but also cherish the love of friends! This little poem vividly expresses Su Dongpo's free and unrestrained elegance!

Hanju Poetry

Slender hands are twisted into jade numbers! , deep fried in green oil.

It is not important to sleep in the spring, and the golden ones are wrapped around the beautiful woman's arms.

The cold utensils are Xuzhou's butterfly dumplings, which are thin and crispy.

In ancient times, it was forbidden to light fires during the Cold Food Festival. People all ate cold food prepared in advance, and one of them was dumplings, so they were called cold food! When Su Dongpo was an official in Xuzhou, he especially loved to eat the special rice dumplings here. This poem compares the rice dumplings to the gold ornaments on the arms of beautiful women. It can be seen that in the eyes of foodies, food is the most beautiful!
