In order to cure this strange disease, Song Guangzong posted a royal list, looking for doctors who can be treated among the people. At this time, a charlatan saw the imperial list, and then volunteered to take the pulse for the imperial concubine. After taking the pulse, he made a prescription, that is, he boiled hawthorn with rock sugar, and ate five to ten before each meal, and it would be fine for half a month. Unexpectedly, according to this recipe, the imperial concubine cooks hawthorn with rock sugar every day. After eating for less than half a month, the imperial concubine's face was rosy and she slowly recovered. Song Guangzong was overjoyed and rewarded the doctor. ?
When I was a child, I always liked to eat candied haws, a bunch of sweet and red candied haws. When I bite them, maslinic acid and sweetness are mixed in the syrup shell and opened in my mouth, which is the taste I miss most in my childhood. In the eyes of many people, when talking about food, it is always associated with acid and sweetness, while drugs often remind people of bitterness and bitterness. However, do we know that this kind of Sugar-Coated Berry was not born to satisfy people's appetite? On the contrary, sugar-coated haws were originally used to treat diseases.
Sugar-coated haws were also called sugar balls and red fruits in ancient times. They were not only sweet and sour, but also beautiful. Its bright red appearance is very attractive to the eyes, so it can be said that it is a kind of food suitable for all ages. However, we know that sugar-coated haws have just started, but there are some remedial measures, which must start from its birth. It is said that during the Shaoxing period in the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Guifei, the beloved princess of Guangzong Zhao Dun, suffered from a strange disease. Her body was yellow and emaciated, and she wanted to drink tea very much. The court doctor used many precious drugs to treat Huang Guifei, but it didn't work.
In desperation, Song Guangzong Zhao Dun had to order the posting of the royal list to reward the famous doctors who treated Huang Guifei all over the capital. Shortly after the official list was published, a charlatan published it in the palace. After checking the pulse of the princess in the mire, he wrote a simple prescription and made a folk prescription. He asked people to mix hawthorn with rock sugar to make it look like fruit. He suggested that the princess take 5 to 10 tablets before each meal, so that the medicine could cure the disease. Unexpectedly, after taking the concubine according to this medicated diet, her appetite recovered and her body became stronger and stronger.
Half a month later, he recovered from a serious illness. Song Guangzong Zhao Dun, after hearing the news, offered a reward for catching the swindler. Since then, hawthorn food cooked with rock sugar has spread to people's ears. For the convenience of use, people put hawthorn one by one with bamboo sticks, which is convenient for eating in their hands. After the Song Dynasty, the raw materials of sugar-coated haws were not limited to hawthorn. On the basis of processing, people cooked it with sugar and other ingredients, and then gradually formed the present sugar-coated gourd. As a member of life, people began to choose convenient food, such as Zhao Xiaoxi, that is, to retain the original flavor, improve health and promote traditional snacks.
