1. The fruit feast

originated from the spiritual root education in The Journey to the West, and was born on the road of spiritual cultivation-the next day, all the monkeys went to pick peaches, pick different fruits, plane yams, fragrant orchids and exotic flowers of Yao grass, and arranged fairy Brewmaster dishes neatly.

Four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour fruits and four candied fruits:

"The four dried fruits are litchi, longan, steamed dates and ginkgo. Fresh fruit is new when you pick it. Salty and sour cherries and ginger plums are needed. I wonder if I can buy them here? Candied fruit? It is rose kumquat, fragrant grapes, frosted peach strips and pear meat. "

Eight dining tables:

"Eight dining tables are boiled quail, fried duck's paw, chicken tongue soup, Jiang Yao stuffed with deer's belly, fried beef tendon with mandarin duck, shredded chrysanthemum rabbit, sauteed legs and ginger vinegar, gold and silver hooves."

12 dishes and 8 snacks:

"Add 12 dishes and 8 snacks, and it will be almost the same." Well, as long as such a set of local dishes, the Spring Festival menu can no longer be written.

In Haruki Murakami's novels, there are often descriptions of delicious food and wine, but luxurious meals are rare, mostly simple meals for one person or home-cooked dishes.

In Norwegian Forest, he wrote that "I" went to Lvzi's house for dinner and enjoyed a sumptuous meal with Kansai flavor:

"The food cooked by Lvzi was quite up to standard, far exceeding my imagination. Raw roe fillets, yellow and tender poached eggs, homemade pickled Spanish mackerel, stewed eggplant, shepherd's purse soup, jade mushroom rice, and finely sliced dried yellow radish pickles, which are thickly covered with sesame seeds. The taste is very light and it is an authentic Kansai flavor. "

"I" can't help admiring Lvzi's skill. This delicious meal not only warms my stomach, but also warms my lost heart in youth.

Although the dinner was not sumptuous, it was filled with Marti's tenderness.
