Su Shi, Su Dongpo. As a famous gourmet, Su Shi was known as the "Gourmet Man" and wrote the gourmet book "Lao Tao Fu", leaving behind Dongpo pork, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo tofu, Dongpo fish, Dongpo cake and other delicacies.

Su Shi and food:

1. Pufferfish

Eat pufferfish to the death, this sentence comes from "Shierbian" written by Su Shi and Sun Yi , contains an anecdote about Su Shi eating puffer fish.

Sun Yi's "Shierbian" says: Dongpo lived in Changzhou and was very fond of pufferfish. However, the scholar-bureaucrats who were good at cooking this fish often recruited Dongpo to enjoy it. All the women and children gathered behind the screen, eager to hear something and comment on it. I sat down on the east slope and chewed chopsticks for a long time, feeling as silent as a man in silence. The master is dejected, and those gathered behind the screen look at each other in disappointment. Dongpo suddenly threw chopsticks and sighed loudly: "It's worth dying!" So he was very happy.

2. Lychee

In the first year of Shaosheng in the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo was falsely accused of "ridiculing the imperial court" and was demoted to Lingnan, where he was prohibited from signing official documents. He arrived in Lingnan in October and wrote the poem "Eating Lychees for the First Time on April 11th" the following year:

It is spring at the foot of Luofu Mountain, and the reeds, oranges and bayberries are new one after another.

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

Court:? I demoted you to Huizhou to endure hardship, but you actually eat lychees every day. So the next time Su Shi was demoted to the more remote Danzhou in Hainan, there was the famous sentence "Ask you about your life achievements, Huangzhou, Guizhou and Danzhou."

3. Dongpo Pork

While in Huangzhou, he personally cooked braised pork and wrote his experience in "Pork Eating Poems": "The good pork in Huangzhou is as cheap as dung. The rich refuse to eat it and the poor don't know how to cook it." , slow the fire, use less water, and it will be beautiful when the fire is sufficient." It was named after him when he was the governor of Hangzhou. Su Dongpo offended the emperor and was demoted to Hangzhou as the governor. In the second year of Su Dongpo's appointment as the governor of Hangzhou, most of the West Lake was submerged by Fuchsia. So he mobilized the people to dredge the lake and build embankments, which were called Sudi, so that the surrounding fields would not have to worry about droughts and floods and have good harvests year after year. In order to express their gratitude to Su Dongpo, the common people carried pigs and wine to congratulate him during the Spring Festival. Su Dongpo couldn't resist his hospitality, so he accepted the pork. Then Su Dongpo cooked braised pork and distributed it among the people. He asked the attendant to bring the wine with him, but the attendant misunderstood that he would cook it with the wine. By accident, the meat cooked in this way is very crispy and fragrant. When the people saw that Su Dongpo did not forget the people, they loved him even more, so they called the meat he sent "Dongpo meat".

4. Dongpo Fish

Su Dongpo loved fish very much and wrote many poems about it.

"Yumanzi"

Breaking water to get bream and carp is as easy as picking up all the paths.

There is no salt in the broken cauldron, but green vegetables are covered with snow scales.

"Bream"

The dawn sun shines on the river, and the fish swim like jade bottles.

Whoever said that the items should be shortened will be cooked every time the greedy bait is cooked.

Lao Du was fond of remembering Meng Sheng when he was about to leave.

Now I am sad for my son again, bursting into tears.

"Huanxi Sand" (adapted from Yugezi)

On the edge of Xisai Mountain, egrets fly, and the sails outside the scattered flower island are faint. Peach blossoms and flowing water are full of mandarin fish.

"Cooking Fish Method"

In Huangzhou, it is best to cook fish by yourself. The method is as follows: use fresh crucian carp or carp to cook and cook it under cold water. Put the salt in the hall method, use the water spinach to write it, but it will still be muddy. Several stems of scallions are white, do not cover half of them, and are cooked. Add a little each of ginger, radish juice and wine in equal amounts, mix thoroughly, and serve. When it is ripe, add orange peel slices and eat it.

The anecdote of Dongpo Fish

Once, Su Shi became very popular and cooked the fish himself. Just after it was cooked, he saw Huang Tingjian coming in through the window. Knowing that he was just trying to make ends meet, he hurriedly hid the fish on the top of the cupboard. Huang Tingjian came in and said, "Today I'm asking brother Zizhan for advice. Do you dare to ask Su Shi how to write Su?" Su Shi responded with a long face: "Su, the grass is on the left and the fish is on the right." Huang Tingjian added: "Then this fish Can you put it on the right side?" Su Shi said, "Okay." Huang Tingjian then asked, "Is it okay to put the fish on the top?" Su Shi said, "What's the point of putting the fish on the top of the cupboard?" Said: "Since Brother Zizhan also knows this truth, why do you still put the fish on it?!"

5. Bean porridge

Thousands of hectares of snow-colored reeds and thatch at the head of the river The eaves are haunted by morning smoke.

The rice made by pounding the ground is as bright as jade, and the beans cooked in the sand vase are as soft as crisp.

6. Dongpo Soup

The method is to take one or two liters of water chestnuts, select them cleanly, add three grams of washed rice, three liters of cold water, do not peel the ginger, and beat it with two fingers. Big, put it into the cauldron, pour the oil into it, and one clam shell is more than the surface of the soup..." Lu You later praised the soup as "unparalleledly fragrant and sweet".

7. Dongpo Cake

Su Dongpo once recited a poem impromptu after eating a ring cake made by an old woman:

The jade color is even when rubbed with delicate hands, and the green oil is fried into a deep yellow color.

Night. In the spring, you know the importance of sleeping, and the gold is wrapped around the arms of a beautiful woman.

Su Shi wrote countless poems and essays related to food. He was trapped in party disputes throughout his life and was demoted many times. No, I dare to eat anything.

How many people can compare with Dongpo’s broad-mindedness since ancient times?
