People in the Song Dynasty loved to eat mutton far more than pork.

Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and was not financially well-off, but the power of foodies should not be underestimated. He was asked to make the unpopular and cheap pork into an unrivaled delicacy: Dongpo Pork.

When he was demoted to Huizhou, he invented another delicacy, grilled lamb spine.

And he proudly gave his younger brother a good meal.

It is recorded in "Yu Zi You Di Shu": There are only a few towns in Huizhou, but it kills a sheep every day and does not dare to compete with the officials.

When buying, ask the butcher to buy the spine and ears.

There is also a slight amount of meat between the bones, which will come out when cooked.

If you don't take advantage of the heat to come out, you won't be able to hold water dry.

Soak it in wine, add a little salt and roast it lightly before eating.

He told his brother that the market in Huizhou was depressed and deserted, but one sheep was killed every day.

Because my brother was relegated, he did not dare to compete with the official family to buy mutton.

After reading it, while feeling the scarcity and preciousness of mutton in the Song Dynasty, I also felt sorry for the humbleness of the great poet. Fortunately, he survived by the fittest and "be prepared for changes when things change."

He did the next best thing and asked the butcher to leave him the sheep spine that was not rare to others.

I originally thought that since there wasn't much meat, it would be good to chew on some bones.

Who would have known that he really has extraordinary cooking skills that turn rotten food into something magical?

He cooked the lamb spine first, then took it out while it was still hot and drained the water.

Sprinkle a little wine and a little salt, put it on the fire, bake it until it is slightly brown, and then eat it.

The rich aroma seems to overflow the paper.

So, we saw a middle-aged man holding a big bone all day long, nibbling the little bits of meat at the joint of the muscles and bones with relish - he was picking at it all day long, and he was very happy to get two baht between the two.

I eat crab claws every once in a few days and I feel very nourished.

He said that he was very happy after biting the mutton bones and sucking the marrow, just like eating crabs.

He proudly teased his younger brother: "Ziyou has been working as a cook in the canteen for three years. He has eaten squid with no teeth and no bones. How can he know the taste again?"

This piece of paper is left behind in the drama script. Although it is a drama, it can actually be used.

However, if this is done, the dogs will be displeased.

You are eating in the kitchen of a wealthy family, your teeth are sunk in the meat of delicious livestock, and you will never be able to chew the bones. How can you taste the delicious food?

However, after he chewed and ate for a whole day, the dogs at home became unhappy.

What a cute "old man", he is greedy, but also considers the dog's displeasure. It is hilarious to read.

At this point, in front of our eyes, do we see a poet with a mouth full of oil, a big bone grasped in one hand, a satisfied look on his face, and several dogs surrounding him that are eager to try, and the clam water keeps dripping down?

Don’t make this image too strong, haha.

So, which one is happier, eating meat or eating bones?

Doesn’t the key lie in the individual’s self-feeling?

This is not only true for food, but also for worldly affairs.
