Today, I selected one or two articles to entertain everyone.
First, diet
Let's talk about cooking first, because the small house itself has suffered losses on it. When I first learned to cook, I added too much water, but too little water to paste. Then I learned my lesson and looked at it in the middle. I feel that the water is added too little, but not enough. As a result, I ate "soft rice" for half a year, and rice porridge was tasteless and tasteless, enough. Li Yu said well that the essence of rice lies in rice soup. If it is too thin, it will be less, while adding water to porridge is like adding water to wine, which naturally becomes weaker and weaker. The correct way, most housewives should know, is to add enough water at a time, not in the middle. As for how much to add, it depends on your own experience. Of course, the current advanced rice cookers are calibrated and easy to master.
As for perfuming, we modern people have more methods, so we don't have to stick to a flower dew. Common candied fruits, miscellaneous grains, yam, lotus seeds, etc., can also be wrapped with herbs, bamboo tubes, reed leaves, etc. to enhance fragrance.
Therefore, mutton is so expensive. For example, if you spend 100 to buy ten catties of leg of lamb, remove the bones and skin, and then bake or stew the soup, you may end up with only three catties in your mouth. Of course 100 it's expensive to buy three catties. So expensive, many people have eaten mutton since ancient times. It's really because I'm full and hungry. It has had a meal before going out for a long time, so you don't have to eat for a day. You thought you only ate three kilograms, but in fact you stuffed ten kilograms. Can you eat enough? This is the so-called "cooked sheep are so long", so don't be greedy when eating mutton, just eat it until it is half full, otherwise it will not pay off.
Crabs, small houses don't like them very much, and they are too troublesome to eat. Nowadays, people always use eighteen kinds of weapons to eat crabs, and some even ask people to peel off crab meat and eat ready-made ones, such as crab soup, crab willows, crab powder and so on. In Li Yu's view, this way of eating is completely violent! He is a crab lover himself. Every year before the crab goes on the market, he saves money early, which is called "money for life", and September and October are called "crab autumn" His servant who is good at making crabs in his family is called "crab slave" ... He thinks that crabs have reached the extreme of human food in terms of color, fragrance and taste, and collocation with other things is not only useless but also reduces the pure taste of crabs. To eat crabs, you should steam the whole crab, ice it, do it yourself, peel one and eat another, just like eating melon seeds and eating good tea, and you have to pour it yourself to get that wonderful taste.
I don't know if you like crabs. Is this true? If it's really so wonderful, let's try it this fall. It's right in Suzhou, near Yangcheng Lake.
Obviously, we modern people eat more hometown flavor, not even hometown flavor. It is simply an industrial product produced by assembly line. As for game, you can't ask for it. It may be illegal to taste it occasionally. If you want to have it both ways, you can only build a hill and find a village surrounded by streams in Shan Ye for grazing.
Of course, this statement also has an extended meaning, that is, fat people, don't stay at home, it's time to go out for exercise. Besides now, we also have watermelon and eye cream!
In Chongqing, I once ate old duck soup. The store said it was a drake to stay healthy. So it turns out that ducks are rare abstinence male gods. Once other animals, including humans, open their hearts, the essence of males is gradually taken away by females. So we drink hen soup, roast suckling pig and steamed lamb just to use their vitality to supplement ourselves.
The small house itself is addicted to alcohol, and there are many fair-weather friends around it. Theoretically speaking, no one really likes fruit sweets, but they also drink tea when drinking, but they don't catch a cold like big bowl tea, kung fu tea and English black tea. Therefore, whether tea and wine are friends or enemies, the enmity between fruit and wine is certain.
Accordingly, eating some sweets and cakes can test the depth of a person's alcohol consumption. Most people who eat with relish are tea drinkers, and vice versa. Few tea drinkers should be friends and gentlemen's friends; The enthusiasm of drinkers should be cited as confidants, girlfriends as girlfriends, and life and death depend on each other.
Of course, the wine here refers to the aging in China. In my generation, wine is not wine.
This is Li Yu's way of eating, and Xiaozhai takes the liberty to add two more: go on road trip doesn't eat, and if he doesn't speculate, he will eat more.
Second, spend money.
Women in Suzhou love beauty and have the habit of enjoying flowers. The first two weeks coincided with the blooming of jasmine flowers. In the street, we often see elegant white-haired mother-in-law, or put flowers on her temples, or hang them on her chest with silk thread, or hang them under her ears as earrings, fresh and playful as wind chimes, like a young girl in her prime. Think about the ancient times when ornaments were scarce and monotonous. What kind of grand occasion would it be? It rains every family in the plum season, and jasmine makes up every family. ...
There are two kinds of jasmine, one is woody shrub and the other is vine. Women wear mostly the former, but woody plants are afraid of cold and drought, and it is difficult to serve in winter. They either freeze to death or die. Li Yu said that Leng Cha should be watered, not watered. I don't know. Is it useful? Rattan, on the other hand, is lively, not afraid of cold and drought, and suitable for potted viewing.
Magnolia, my favorite flower in the small house. Love its pride and willfulness, open together when opening, magnificent; If you lose, you lose together. You don't hesitate. You can stay if you want. You can stay if you want. If there is a flower god, then Magnolia is the most headstrong and unrestrained one. When I was in college, a magnolia tree was planted behind my dormitory. There, the small house opened the romantic sinus and harvested the initial love. If the love for it is engraved into the memory with the passage of time, then the older you get, the longer your memory will be, and it will become more and more unforgettable.
As Li Yu said, Magnolia blooms first, then leaves grow. Its beauty benefits from this, and so does its pain. Without the care of green leaves, the petals of lonely branches can't stand the rain naturally. So, if you want to appreciate Magnolia, don't wait until it is in full bloom. Just when the bud is exposed, stare at it day by day, look at it day by day and enjoy it for a while. As the saying goes, "flowers bloom straight, don't wait for the rain to pick up the residual petals."
Nowadays, Magnolia grandiflora is planted in most provinces in southern China, among which Funiu Mountain, Lushan Mountain and Tianmu Mountain are the most prosperous. Nanzhao, Henan Province is known as the hometown of Magnolia, and the garden in the county town is average in scale, but the Magnolia villa in farmers' homes has a unique flavor. Of course, Shanghai, with Magnolia as the city flower, is also one of the scenic spots to watch Magnolia. Shanghai Museum-Botanical Garden-Grand View Garden-People's Park-Xujiahui Park are all good places to enjoy flowers in early spring.
Ok ... No wonder the ancients said "red hearts go out of the wall", not "red hearts go out of the wall". Apricots have never been planted in the small house, so it is really impossible to try. Interested friends can try the authenticity. If so, isn't the obscene clothes worn by the Virgin a man's holy medicine? The small house seems to have found a shortcut to get rich. ...
In fact, just looking at the beautiful charm and coquetry of apricot flowers, I feel that there is an indescribable romantic shape. To see apricot blossoms, you should go to the northwest. Xia County, Shanxi Province, Taiping Town, Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province, and Xinghuagou, Dongxiang, Yili, Gansu Province. They are all good places famous for apricot flowers.
Camellia, called sea pomegranate in ancient times, shows that there is indeed a comparison between the two flowering periods. Pomegranate is a deciduous tree, but camellia is better than evergreen. It is really outrageous that it can last from winter to May of the following year.
The small house has been stumped by this flower recently. Because I am a beginner in Suzhou embroidery and embroidered a screen of blue lotus, I can't help but praise my teacher, so I want to challenge the camellia that my sisters are discouraged from. And I lost it. Layers of petals, no less than 50, different shades of color, but also considering the layering, it will be messy to cover it with a needle cover. ...
Li Yu is right that peony is not as good as peony. There is basically no difference between the two kinds of flowers, except that peony belongs to shrubs and the branches are made of wood. After the storm, I can still stand proudly and keep Kao's pride. Peony is a kind of herbaceous plant, tender and delicate. It takes a little wind and rain to bear such a huge flower. A person who often crawls to the ground can only be a courtier.
What Lan and Li Yu said is debatable. Modern people confuse Lan and Hui, which shows that the difference between them is really minimal.
The ancient book says, "orchids, herbs are also." Hey, smoky grass. "This is basically equivalent to not saying that everyone is grass. What's the difference between this grass and that grass? It is estimated that only sheep know. When I first read these two sentences, I thought in my mind: Could it be lavender?
Until Huang Tingjian said: Xiang Xiang, Lan; Those who count flowers and lack fragrance will benefit. Finally, there is a clear definition. From this point of view, the so-called orchids of the ancients refer to today's Chunlan; And Hui, when referring to today's orchids.
It can be seen that the two leaves are not as fat and thin as Li Yu said, and there is a big difference. It's all grass How bad can it be?
Besides, although the ancients called it Zu, and all kinds of poems and songs were greatly exaggerated, in fact, the fragrance of orchid is very weak, and you can't feel it unless you smell it in the wild. It can only be said that our ancient materials are too scarce, and our ancestors have little knowledge. The spices we can get are orchids, zhihe, and flattery depends on these brothers.
