The first is a dazzling array of flavor snacks.
The biggest feature of snacks in Song Dynasty is its rich and exquisite variety. No matter whether things are ordinary or not, they should be dressed up to attract attention. In the Song Dynasty, people not only liked to dress themselves up, but also paid great attention to the decoration of food. Is there a lot in Tokyo Dream Record? Insert food? And then what?

2. Pay attention to the freshness of snacks
In addition to a wide variety of snacks and exquisite craftsmanship, the Song Dynasty also had a lot of experience in food storage and preservation. It is a common food storage method to seal food in ice or put it in a cellar. Moreover, most shops selling food in the Song Dynasty were equipped with ice rooms, which made it convenient for customers to eat fresh and delicious food in summer.

Variety does not affect quality assurance. The pursuit of snack quality in Song Dynasty urged people to make and place food carefully. It is recorded in Dream of Liang Lu: Where is the food delicious, the food fresh, the vegetables scarce, and there is no shortage of products? Some people even? If you increase the price, you won't be worth it, but will you like the new ears? .
The freshness of ingredients is what diners value most. Snack bars in the streets are not careless about the cleanliness of food. "Dream of Tokyo" records the situation of the snack bar in the capital of song dynasty: Anyone who sells food for a hundred miles must pack fresh dishes and boxes, taste soup, and dare not be careless? .
At that time, Lin 'an, now Hangzhou, also paid great attention to the hygiene and appearance of snacks. What's in Liang Lumeng's dream? Most people who sell food and drinks in department stores decorate car covers, and plates and boxes are new and exquisite. ?

Third, the high expression of cultural freedom.

The rapid development of catering industry in Song Dynasty made people's life more convenient. The convenience of diet in Song Dynasty was recorded in Dream of China in Tokyo? There are teahouses and hotels where you can eat and drink. Market brokers usually only buy food and drinks in market stores, not vegetables. ?
In the Song Dynasty, economic exchanges were free and people's daily activities were not restricted.

An idle man, a basket, a knife and a few pieces of beef were sent to the customer and cut face to face. ? This is a very common thing in the Song Dynasty.

It promoted the rapid development of the catering industry and the steady improvement of the economy in the Song Dynasty.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a vast territory and a large span between the north and the south, so there was an endless stream of businessmen and tourists coming from south to north. In order to meet the taste needs of guests in these different places, various local cuisines have been derived. In the capital of Song Dynasty, local restaurants serving southern and northern dishes were also common.

It shows that in the Song Dynasty, the North-South diet had distinct style characteristics. It is precisely because people in the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the differences between the north and the south that food stores specializing in selling southern and northern dishes appeared.
It can be seen that the social, economic and cultural development at that time had reached a certain height, and the people of the North and the South had close contacts. In order to facilitate southerners who came to the north, many shops with southern characteristics were established, which were also welcomed by local northerners and became extremely popular features at that time.
There are many rivers and lakes in the south, and the diet of southerners mainly focuses on rice and aquatic products, like? Fish bag, fried fish rice? Wait a minute. Are deeply loved by southerners. Most areas in the north are dry and lack of rain, so pasta meat is the main food.
For northerners in Song Dynasty, mutton should be the most popular. Since Song Taizu, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has been very fond of mutton. Under the influence of the royal hobby, people naturally attach great importance to the development of mutton dishes.
In addition to the complicated and diverse mutton dishes in various shops, there are also shops specializing in selling mutton, and there are more than a dozen dishes made of mutton alone, which fully satisfies the people's love for mutton in the north. The all-round development and popularization of North-South cuisines is enough to show that the Song people seriously promoted the snack market.

The rapid rise of snack industry in Song Dynasty is inseparable from the convenience brought by the Song Dynasty system. The prosperity of culture and people's freedom have jointly promoted the prosperity of snack industry.
