As the old saying goes, "A chicken head is better than arsenic in ten years." Is the comb really so poisonous? This may be a joke. When we were young, there were many things that our parents did not allow us to eat. The typical ones are fish roe, pig tails, chicken heads, etc. Of course, there are others. Some of these make sense, and some explanations do not make sense at all. For example, if you eat pig tails and walk at night, you will feel that there is someone behind you and you will be afraid of walking at night. If you eat fish roe, you will become a fool and cannot count. Of course, you will not be able to count dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and you will not be able to count when you grow up. In fact, these are quite interesting things.

Ten years of chicken heads beating arsenic is actually a story. Later, people thought that it was the fisherman’s wife who murdered her husband. The story goes like this: The husband went to sea to fish and fell into the water and his whereabouts were unknown. The wife had no way to live, so there was They had been in love with each other for ten years. Unexpectedly, the husband who fell into the water came back. After the two of them discussed it, they killed their own hens and gave them to their husbands. In fact, they were laced with arsenic, so My husband died after taking the medicine. In order to cover up this incident, we made up the story that the chicken head is poisonous. We can imagine that the husband who has not been home for ten years killed a chicken and why he had to eat the chicken head. Ah, I don’t know about other people. In the past, when chickens were killed in rural areas, the chicken heads, chicken offal, chicken stems, and chicken feet were all thrown away, especially in the north. Now people are eating more and more finely, so The words are eaten separately and are more expensive than chicken.

In the past, in order to prevent their children from eating these things, parents actually felt sorry for the parents in the world. Their true meaning was very simple. They wanted their children to eat good places, such as chicken breasts and chicken thighs, and these Parents would eat whatever they had left. Fish roe and pig tails had the same meaning. We cannot use today’s standards to speculate on what our parents thought at that time. It was an era when there was not enough to eat, and it was best to be able to eat meat. That's why they gave us chicken breasts, which we now think are the least delicious, while they themselves ate chicken skins, chicken feet, chicken heads, and chicken tongues. Now they are all regarded as good food to eat by us, now and then. , cannot be compared.

We know that any food, no matter how good it is, cannot be eaten in excess, even ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. How to control the right amount and ensure food diversity is the foundation of health. In life, we must learn to reflect on some of the behaviors of the elderly. Many of the things they said in the past had their own thoughts. What they said was that they didn’t like to eat, or couldn’t eat, and sometimes they just couldn’t bear to part with it. Although life is getting better and better now, some elderly people My concept has not changed yet. I still think that chicken breasts and chicken thighs are the best, and I still don’t want to eat them. I grab those scraps with you and eat them. I can’t blame them. I need to communicate with them. Maybe they already want to eat them. It's been a lifetime, and I still can't let go of it, so don't have this kind of regret. When you encounter things that you can't explain in the past, it's also a great joy in life to be able to talk to them about it.
