Introduction to Tianmo

When visiting Jinan, in addition to appreciating the "wonder" of the spring water that is the best in the world, don't forget to taste the "weirdness" of Jinan's specialties. Among the specialties and delicacies passed down over the years, there are two strange things spread in Quancheng: the first strange thing is tea soup, which is called tea but not tea. Tea soup is stir-fried with millet as the main ingredient. It is called tea soup because it is cooked with boiling water just like making tea. The first thing is that it is sweet foam, but the taste is not sweet. Tianmo is a kind of salty porridge. After the porridge is ready, the host will ask "What more can we add?" This refers to adding vermicelli, vegetables, shredded tofu and other auxiliary ingredients. Later, people pronounced it homophonically as "Tianmo", so Tianmo The taste is salty, not sweet. The tea soup is not tea, but the overflowing fragrance of rice is better than tea. Sweet foam is not sweet, only after reading all the five flavors can you get sweetness. Quancheng Erguai is a must-try delicacy in Jinan. · In the early Ming Dynasty (the 19th year of Yongle), after Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he set up Guanglu Temple as a place of ceremonial worship. In order to pray for the country and the country, Guanglu Temple developed a porridge based on Ji (millet) and named it Tea soup. When offering sacrifices to heaven, give a bowl to each of the civil and military officials to show reverence to God.

· In 1457 (the first year of Tianshun in the Ming Dynasty), King De was the second son of the Yingzong. In order to care for his second son, the Yingzong ordered Guanglu Temple to pass on this cooking technique to Prince De’s Mansion in Jinan. Prince De’s Mansion had a personal relationship with the Qin Mansion. It was so good that the tea soup technique was passed on to the Qin Mansion, and the Qin Mansion improved it into Shandong Tea Soup. On the basis of the tea soup, using the dietary culture of the family, ginger and pepper were added to the millet noodles to evolve a spicy millet porridge, which was called Tianmo. Neighbors have heard that Qin Mansion has two very strange foods: there is tea soup but not tea, and there is sweet foam but not sweet. As a result, the "Two Monsters of Quancheng" began to spread. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, wars continued for many years, and a large number of refugees flocked to Jinan.

There was a small porridge shop named Tian that often gave out porridge for charity. The victims spread the news to each other, and more and more people came to the porridge shop to drink porridge to save their lives. The porridge shop couldn't satisfy the demand, so they added a lot of vegetable leaves and salty and spicy seasonings to the porridge. Whenever the victims saw foaming in the big pot of porridge before serving bowls of porridge, they affectionately called it "Tian Mo", which is the porridge of Mr. Tian's relief house. At that time, a scholar in trouble who came from other places to take the exam also came here to ask for this porridge. The food was extremely sweet, thinking that the "sweet foam" was worthy of the reputation. Later, after the scholar obtained the title and became an official, he made a special trip to Ji to drink Tianmo. When he drank Tianmo, he no longer felt the same as before. When asked why, the boss replied that it was actually "Tian Mo", which means porridge. The official suddenly realized that he had made the mistake of only listening to the music but not recognizing the handwriting, so he wrote a plaque with the name "Tian Mo" and recited a poem: "I mistakenly called Tian Mo Tian Mo Tian because I had experienced many twists and turns; I have read all the vicissitudes of life. Taste, bitter and spicy are always sweet." From then on, this kind of salty porridge was called "Tianmo". It seems that only by visiting the place and drinking this delicious salty porridge can you feel the origin of the name Tianmo! There is a theory about the origin of "Tian Mo" that best "justifies": it was not called "Tian Mo" at first, but "Tian Mo'er" - when the porridge is ready, add some vermicelli, vegetables, peanuts, and seasonings. The "last" of the class, once you taste it, it tastes great! "Tim Mo'er" spread. Later, people refined it into "Tianmo" based on its homophonic pronunciation.
