If you carefully observe the diet in "A Dream of Red Mansions", you will find that "A Dream of Red Mansions" is not only an encyclopedia, but also a history of food. Among them, the diet of Jia Mu is the most exquisite. Jia Mu is the oldest and most important person in the Jia family.

The most respected elder, Jia's family should gather all their strength to support Jia's mother.

Moreover, the young masters such as Baoyu, Daiyu, Tanchun, etc. all ate with Jia Mu, so the meals in Jia Mu's room must be the most fully prepared.

Because of Jia Mu's special dietary treatment, some people say that it was Jia Mu who ruined the Jia family. Is this really the case?

First, Jia Mu’s standard for eating is to have vegetables written on the sign. You can eat whatever you want, but this is just the old calendar. Eating in Jia’s house is based on hierarchy. Jia Mu and the ladies eat first, and Wang

Madam and Mrs. Xing waited to eat, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan waited for their daughters-in-law to eat, the masters finished eating, the older girls ate, and finally it was the little girls' turn.

It is an unwritten rule that daughters-in-law must serve their elders and the girls in the family to eat first, and then eat in order.

In addition to eating according to the rules, there are also differences in the levels of food. Everyone has their own corresponding rules. Naturally, Jia Mu has the highest standards in the Jia family.

In this case, it is better to return to the wife and add more examples, just like preparing the old lady's meal in the big kitchen, writing all the vegetables in the world with water labels, and eating them every day until a month is considered good.

Although Jia Mu may not be able to eat much at every meal, Jia Mu's expenses will be the largest.

Because all fresh fruits and vegetables are prepared one by one every day, Jia Mu can eat whatever she wants. It is self-evident how much waste there is.

However, for all the expenses of the Jia family for a day, Jia Mu's food expenditure probably does not account for a small amount, and Jia Mu is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful. Maybe ordinary people are too extravagant, but in the eyes of the Jia family, all this

But they are all daily needs.

Second, Jia Mu pays careful attention to her diet and the dishes sent from each room. The extra dishes will be given to her favorite children. She practices frugality. Because Jia Mu is old and has a respected status, her diet will be more refined and expensive.

From time to time, the younger generation would search for some delicacies and bring them to Jia Mu. Even though Jia Mu repeatedly stressed that she didn’t need to give her more, she couldn’t eat much, but this was the wish of her descendants.

The table is full of precious dishes, but this does not mean that Jia Mu does not know how to cherish them. In fact, she is very aware of the declining situation of the Jia family, so she will not waste it. On the contrary, she will set an example of thrift for everyone.

Jia Mu tasted a few of them and then ordered: "Send those two things back and tell me that I ate them. From now on, you don't have to give them to me every day. I will naturally ask for them if I want them."... Jia Mu took them and ate half a bowl.

Then he ordered: "Give this porridge to Brother Feng to eat," and pointed out, "Give this bowl of bamboo shoots and this plate of pickled civets to Bian'er Baoyu and two, and give that bowl of meat to Lan Xiaozi."

"Jia Mu knows that a meal is hard to come by, especially during this difficult time in the Jia family, so Jia Mu will send the good food that is not finished on the table to her favorite children, Daiyu.

He Baoyu has always been Jia Mu's favorite, and Wang Xifeng and Jia Lan are also children whom Jia Mu takes special care of.

The japonica rice porridge that Jia Mu ate was very good. Wang Xifeng was still ill at this time and it was very suitable to eat this porridge. Therefore, Jia Mu was reluctant to waste even if it was only half a bowl and remembered to have it delivered to Wang Xifeng.

Jia Mu also started as a grandson's daughter-in-law. She naturally knew how much the Jia family's daily expenses were. A lot of people went out and few came in. Jia's family was already unable to make ends meet. Mother Jia knew these situations, so she could omit the

She doesn't even know how to save.

Jia Mu is the daughter of the Shihou family, and she is also the head mother of the Jia family. She has seen all kinds of good things along the way, so she doesn't pay attention to unnecessary pomp and circumstance.

Thirdly, the banquets held by Jia Mu are also relatively limited. Most of them are only attended during festivals. Jia Mu likes to be lively and holds banquets, but these were only done in the early days when Jia's family was relatively wealthy.

Most of the banquets were held because it was a festival, so Jia Mu thought that everyone could get together.

Moreover, the banquets held by Jia Mu are relatively simple. They do not require many expensive dishes, but only a few snacks. When there are more people, everyone can eat together, and there is no need to make several extra portions. In this way, although

It may seem like a waste, but it actually saves operations and expenses.

The expenses of a large family in the Jia family have always been high, and it is not just Jia Mu who spends a lot of money, and just for food, Jia Mu does not consume much at all.

The wind is rain, Jia Mu is the big tree of Jia Mansion. Not only did Jia Mu not destroy Jia Mansion, but when Jia Mansion was in crisis, Jia Mu also used all her wealth to help everyone get through this difficulty.

The family will be prosperous and everything will be prosperous, and people will be happy after the money is gone. Jia Mu has never cared about these illusory things, so Jia Mu will not deliberately put on a show.

A Dream of Red Mansions, enjoy it.
