1. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a sword that was extremely powerful. It conquered not enemies, but friends; it was not used in fights, but on the dining table. It was a dish called "Sword of Honey".

People in the Tang Dynasty have always had the tradition of marinating and preserving crabs with syrup and honey. When eating crabs, the Jiangnan people in the Tang Dynasty usually choose a crab that is "small like a crab with a sword, and one claw is too big."

Pound it into a paste and soak it with honey to make "Honey Sword". 2. There are no crabs in Lingnan, but this does not prevent the Lingnan people in the Tang Dynasty from looking for delicious food.

, and then feed the little mice with honey. This is of course not a waste, but feeding them for a few days, they can be used as a dish.

The tail of the mouse is nailed to the board, and the little mouse makes a chirping sound when the foodies pick it up with chopsticks, making a squeaking sound, so this dish is called "Mi Chi". 3. Is there any mention in the literature of the Tang Dynasty?

There are few records about eating frogs. For example, "Nanchu News" records that "Baiyue people like to eat shrimps and toads". There is a dish called "Snow Baby" in the famous "Wei Juyuan Food List", which is also called "Frog-curing Pod Tie".

The main ingredient is frogs, and those who enjoy eating frogs are Guilin people. "Yunxian Miscellaneous Notes" records "Guilin Customs, Solar Eclipse Frogs". They have a "hugging taro soup", which is the best delicacy for banquets.

. The method is to boil water in a pot, put in small taro, and when the water boils and bubbles appear in the soup, throw the live frog in. Experiments have shown that frogs will not jump out of the hot water, but will tighten their legs.

Hold the small taro until it is cooked. When the temperature is high, the frog can be opened. Sometimes, you can use bamboo shoots instead of taro. When serving, the frog can still hold the bamboo shoots and "glare and open its mouth". 4. Japanese people like to eat sashimi the most.

, and as early as the Tang Dynasty, we Chinese began to eat sashimi. At that time, the way to eat sashimi was called "荍". No matter what kind of fish it was, people in the Tang Dynasty liked to cut it into thin slices and eat it with green onions and garlic.

The processing of fish meat is also very particular. Du Fu's poem "Snowflakes are falling silently, and spring green onions have been chopped into bones", which refers to the scene of cooking fish meat in "Shanfu Jingshu Lu": "

Big carp should not be taken first, followed by bream, bream, sea bream and perch.

"It can be seen that crucian carp is the best material for making fish dumplings. People in the Tang Dynasty also developed special knives for making fish dumplings. Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Zazu" records that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also gave Anlu Mountain crucian carp and special fish.

The most popular knife is the "crucian carp knife".

"Historical books contain a large number of records of miraculous fish-cutting masters. There is also a book on the market that specifically teaches how to cook fish dumplings. The book explains in detail the selection and use of chopping boards, the selection of raw materials, and the use of knives.

, condiments and cooking methods, etc. The "Book of Cutting Kou" also lists in detail the knife techniques for making fish dumplings. Each knife technique has a name, such as "Da Huang Bai" and "Xiao Huang Bai".

, "Wu Lihua", "Willow Leaves", "Thousand-foot Line", etc. 5. In the Tang Dynasty, any fish could be eaten, but carp could not be eaten. If fishermen caught carp, they must release it immediately.

, if the carp is bought and sold, the person who buys the carp may be punished with a sixty-year rod! "The law of the country states that you should release the carp after you get it, but you are not allowed to eat it. It is called Chiai Gong."

The seller has a staff of sixty and calls "carp" "Li".

"Carp" and "Li" have the same pronunciation. The rulers of the Tang Dynasty were all named "Li", so in order to avoid the emperor's taboo, there was a rule in the Tang Dynasty that you could not eat carp. However, even if the government stipulated such a strict policy,

But it still can't stop those "foodies". After all, Chinese people have been eating carp since ancient times, and carp is so delicious, so even if the laws are strict, they will still eat carp secretly!

Since fish clams have high requirements for preservation, it is not something you can eat just when you want. The smart people of the Tang Dynasty invented the method of drying fish clams. According to the record in "Daye Shiyi Ji", "When the weather is hot in May and June,

Obtained an owl from the sea.

...that is, making a guo on a sea ship.

Remove the skin and bones, take the fine meat and cut into pieces.

Let it dry in the sun for three to four days, and then put it in a new white porcelain bottle that has not been soaked in water.

Seal the mud to prevent wind from entering. After fifty or sixty days, it will look as good as new.

When taking out the food, take out the dry drum, wrap it with cloth, and put it in a big urn soaked in water. After three quarters of time, take it out and drain the water with cloth, then it will be clear.

On the scattered plate, it looks like new.

"It means cutting the fresh fish into fillets as soon as it is caught, drying it in the sun, sealing it with mud, and keeping it for about two months. When you want to eat it, take out the dried fish and wrap it with cloth.

Soak it in water and it will be as delicious as fresh fish fillets. 7. The structure of the staple food in the Tang Dynasty is closer to that of ours now, mainly noodles and rice. There was a kind of pasta in the Tang Dynasty called Gulouzi, which is recorded in "Tang Yulin".

Here’s how to make this kind of pasta. Use a pound of mutton, wrap it layer by layer in large pancakes, put Sichuan peppercorns and black beans in the next layer, smear it with ghee, “put it in the oven”, and eat it when the meat is cooked.

If you don’t want to eat pasta, you can eat flax rice or black rice. Flax rice is a meal made with sesame seeds. It was very popular in the Tang Dynasty.

, Peach blossoms and flowing water shade the body," "Pomegranate soup makes me thirsty, and I feel hungry with sesame rice." Many poems have written about sesame rice, which is rice made of sesame seeds. It seems to be eaten very often. And black rice is a kind of health-preserving rice.

Also called Qingjing rice, it is made by soaking black rice with the juice of black rice leaves and then steaming it. "How can it be that Qingjing rice makes me look good"? 8. Eat and drink enough.
