The industrious Chinese nation has been striving for the impact of food on taste buds since ancient times. Don't underestimate the great working people of our country. The popularity of pots was after the Song Dynasty, so the topic can be roughly changed to how people cooked correctly before the Song Dynasty.

When it comes to cooking, there are two necessary conditions, one is oil, and the other is pot. In ancient times, animal oil, that is, meat oil, has always been a luxury, limited to princes and rich second generation. According to the Book of Qi Yao Min, vegetable oil appeared in parks in the 4th and 5th centuries, which created conditions for the popularization of cooking.

There is a word called. Is it Jia? It describes the family conditions of ancient local tyrants, listening to the music of chimes and eating Ding's food, just like living in a villa in a sports car today. This tripod is a container for making food. It belongs to bronzes. Add wide oil and chopped green onion and stir-fry over high fire. Except that it is too heavy, the spoon can't tilt and the seasoning is limited, it is not much different from now.

Besides cooking, ancient people had other cooking methods. Now that human beings have mastered the technology of using fire, baking is the most direct way to cook. A stick and a fire let everyone have meat and vegetables. Sprinkle some salt before eating, as long as you are careful not to burn them, it is also a delicious food.

In the Neolithic Age, ancestors found that mud could be burned into pottery, which greatly reduced the cost of eating utensils. Therefore, steaming food in water and cooking food in water have become two new cooking techniques. In the era when there was no iron pot, this method kept the original flavor of food as much as possible, and the pursuit of delicacy reached a new level.

And then it appeared again? Cooking? Is this skill a famous saying from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Governing a big country if you cook a little fresh? You can see that? Cooking? It has become very popular. This technology is a bit like the most popular barbecue at present. First, oil the food and then fry it.

Later, it was not until the Song Dynasty that there was a major breakthrough in iron smelting technology that the people of the Central Plains entered a new era of cooking with iron pots.
