A Dream of Red Mansions is one of China's four classical novels and the pinnacle of classical literature. It was written by Cao Xueqin, a novelist in the Qing Dynasty. It was first published in 179 1, that is, in the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong. The characters in this novel are also vividly portrayed, such as the talented and affectionate Baoyu, the clever and vicious Wang Xifeng and the glib Shi Xiangyun. Jia, the ancestor of Guo Rongfu, also played a very important role.

Because Shi Taijun has the highest seniority, no one in the whole Jia family dares to disrespect her, especially Wang Xifeng, who loves to curry favor with her. Although the old lady has a high position, she has a good heart and seldom beats and scolds her servants. Especially when dealing with rural old people like granny Liu, granny Jia is even more amiable. When Granny Liu came to Jia's house for the second time, Jia met such a person by chance, and then specially invited her to eat for a while.

Jia occupies the highest position in the whole Jia family, and her words are like imperial edicts, so the whole family is also very busy. Although Granny Liu was born in the countryside, she had a lot of knowledge, especially what she said was very appetizing, so their party was very lively. I remember that at that time, Wang Xifeng specially served 1 "Chicken Stewed with Eggplant". As a result, Grandma Liu said that this dish was 2 taels 1 dish, which was enough for their farmers to eat 1 year.

In fact, Jia's diet has always been very particular, and Jia's mother lived to be 83 years old because she knew how to nurse. However, in Jiafu, there is a strange dish. Only 1 people can eat it. If you think about it carefully, you will find it is still cruel. Baoyu and his sisters wrote poems in Xue Lu Temple and all went to the old lady for dinner. In a short time, all the delicious foods were served, among which "steamed mutton with milk" became the exclusive food of Jia Mu 1 people.

At that time, the old lady also specifically said: this dish can't be eaten, only an old man like me can eat it. So what kind of dish is this "steamed mutton with milk"? This delicious food is made of tremella, milk and unborn lamb. You know, the unborn lamb is still in the mother's belly, and you have to cut her belly directly to take it out.

Because of this, steamed mutton with milk is nutritious and a tonic, but it contains hormones, which is only suitable for the elderly and not for the young. If we examine its origin carefully, we will find that this dish is cruel. It comes from Talk, which is Ma Shumou's favorite diet. In 605, Yang Guang succeeded to the throne. He was the emperor of Yang Di. Yang Guang was overjoyed. After he gained the upper hand, he specially built the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

At that time, the commander in charge of canal opening was called Ma Shumou. He used the power given by the emperor at that time to run amok, among which 1 ate children. According to legend, this uncle Ma likes to eat steamed mutton. The method of steaming mutton is to slaughter half-year-old mutton, and then add apricot cheese and spiced mutton to steam it. But a guy named Tao Laner stole someone else's 3-year-old child, killed it as a sheep and steamed it for Ma Shumou.

Later, after Ma Shumou finished eating, he felt that the "steamed mutton" sent by Tao Lang was different from the previous taste, and it was a little special. As a result, he knew that after Tao Lang treated the child as a lamb, he not only punished the other party, but also rewarded him and even let him continue to steal the child for himself. Finally, Ma Shumou was beheaded by Yang Guang for his crime. The allusion to steamed mutton with milk in A Dream of Red Mansions not only shows the wealth of Jia's family, but also indicates that Jia's family will decline in the future. Sure enough, the Jia family was raided by the emperor and went downhill from then on.
