Flowers are flying almost everywhere in A Dream of Red Mansions. In addition to the above functions, China flowers in the Grand View Garden also have a wonderful function-"Flowers are delicious". Flowers can not only be viewed, but also be made into delicious food, which is also the unique romance of a dream of red mansions.
Food is very important in people's daily life. Jia family regards diet as a very important thing, and makes food with flowers to satisfy their appetite, which brings a unique food culture.
If flowers are made delicious, cakes are the most common, because they can best retain the taste of flowers.
Cao Gong especially likes "osmanthus fragrans". He mentioned four kinds of food related to osmanthus fragrans.
Lotus root starch sweet-scented osmanthus sugar cake is a kind of food that even sisters like; Sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed new chestnut powder cake, the collocation of sweet-scented osmanthus and chestnut is really just right; Osmanthus fragrans can be made into fragrant dew. If you want to taste it, you can directly mix it with water. Osmanthus fragrans can be used for cooking. When Jiang Yuhan saw the sweet-scented osmanthus on the table, he thought that "it's because of the smell of flowers, so it's warm during the day".
It is also a good choice to make soup with flowers. When Baoyu was injured and beaten, he said lotus leaf soup was to make flowers into another kind of food, which was complicated to make, mainly to taste the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Flowers into tea, flowers into wine, can stay fragrant. The ancient poem says, "There are flowers that can be folded straight, so don't wait for no flowers to be folded." This is also saying that sometimes flowers bloom in the four seasons, and if they are missed, they will be gone. Therefore, people usually dry flowers or dry them and save them, and so does Li in the program.
The Jia family often uses flowers, so it is common for flowers to be used in tea and soaked in wine, so they must be collected when flowers are dying.
Rose dew and rose brine. There are many roses in the Grand View Garden, especially Hongyi Garden. Baoyu loves red, and his room is even better than the embroidery room of ordinary girls.
The food made by roses is also his exclusive. xiren gives Baoyu water to drink with rose brine and rose dew. Because rose dew is precious, Mrs. Wang didn't get much. Baoyu was naturally the first to get such a good thing.
Miaoyu uses plum blossom snow to store tea. If you make tea directly from flowers, it will be common. Miaoyu is a very graceful girl in Jia's family. She does have a unique style of making tea with flowers. Miaoyu collects and stores the snow on plum blossoms, buries it in the ground, and then uses the water to make tea.
Baoyu specially made "acacia flowers with wine" for Daiyu. Making wine with flowers is also a beautiful enjoyment. Peach blossom wine, Bai Qian's favorite in to the sky kingdom, makes "Flower Wine" a favorite wine, and drinking "Chrysanthemum Wine" in autumn is also very common. Baoyu also specially made a kind of wine for Daiyu in a Dream of Red Mansions-Albizia Albizia flower soaking wine. Daiyu is weak due to qi deficiency and often suffers from insomnia. It is most suitable to drink acacia flower wine.
Flowers can be used as medicine, and the wonderful use of "daughter fragrance" flowers is also used as medicine. Flowers are also very common as medicine, so the flowers that can be used as medicine in A Dream of Red Mansions are unique. Baochai's "cold fragrant pill" is a model of taking flowers as medicine.
Bai Mudan blooms in spring, white lotus blooms in summer, Bai Furong blooms in autumn and Bai Mei blooms in winter. In the vernal equinox of the following year, four stamens were dried and ground together with the medicinal powder. "
It is composed of four-point flowers and four-point rain and dew. I have to sigh when I hear the medicine. This is really great. So it is not difficult to find everything, and the most rare thing is the word "Jojo", which was actually completed in one year.
Moreover, this medicine gives Baochai a unique "daughter fragrance". Baoyu once went to visit Baochai who was sick in winter, and he smelled Baochai very fragrant. Baochai doesn't like makeup, and she doesn't like incense, so Baochai said that this fragrance was brought by "cold fragrant pills". It turns out that using flowers as medicine can not only cure diseases, but also make people who take medicine bring their own fragrance.
