Porridge in the Red Mansion Porridge is originally eaten by ordinary people, but when you enter the Grand View Garden, it has a different taste. Chapters 8 and 62 both mentioned blue stem porridge, served with marinated quail, and some shrimp balls and chicken skin soup. If you are used to eating big fish and meat, this kind of home-cooked snack is particularly delicious. What is "Bi Gang"? In fact, it is stem rice, "slender, slightly green, fragrant when cooked, pure and clear soup, delicious". Because of its high quality and small quantity, it was a tribute in the Qing Dynasty and was exclusively for the royal family. From this small bowl of porridge, it is not difficult to see how noble the Jia family was. Chapter 45, "Golden Orchid Mutual Interpretation of Golden Orchid Language", Daiyu was weak, Baochai went to see her, and suggested that "the key is to calm the liver and strengthen the stomach. Once the liver fire is calmed, the earth cannot be suppressed. If the stomach qi is not diseased, the diet will be good." It can support people. Get up early every day and take one tael of high-quality bird's nest, five qian of rock sugar, and make porridge with silver spoons. If you are used to it, it is better than medicine and is the best way to nourish yin and replenish qi." This move of Bird's Nest made Daiyu deeply impressed by Baochai. Dishes in the Red Mansion When it comes to the food in the Red Mansion, the most impressive thing to everyone is the "eggplant", which is also the dish that Cao Gong described most vividly. "鲞" refers to dried fish cut open and dried, and "鲞" refers to multi-flavored dried tomato that goes well with wine. Chapter 41, Sister Feng said lightly: "It's not difficult at all. You just need to remove the skin from the eggplant that just came off, clean the meat, cut it into dices, fry it with chicken, and then add chicken breast meat to make it fragrant. Fungi, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried bean curd, and various dried fruits are all cut into cubes, simmered in chicken soup, collected in sesame oil, and mixed with bad oil. Put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly. Take it out when you want to eat. Just mix it with fried chicken and melon seeds." Grandma Liu was so frightened that she called the Buddha, "Amitabha, one dish of eggplant requires more than a dozen chickens." In Chapter 62, someone from the Liu family gave Fangguan a box. When he opened it, he found a bowl of shrimp ball and chicken skin soup, a bowl of steamed duck with fermented wine, and a plate of pickled rouge goose breast (goose breast is goose breast). The breast of the goose, the meat is tender and plump. Wash it, pickle it with salt first, and then cook it until it is mature. The goose meat is red, hence the name Rouge). There is also a plate of four buttery pine pulp rolls, and a large bowl of hot Steamed green rice and Japonica rice. Visually, there are red, green, and white; in terms of taste, there are light and strong; in terms of combinations, there are meat and vegetables, rice, soup, and desserts. If a girl is like this, what the masters eat is even more delicious.
