In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, there are always some people who choose to face the troubles of life alone. They sat alone in the empty restaurant, looking at the few leftovers of food and peanuts on the plate, drinking Du Kang cup after cup, looking for inner solace. Du Kang has become the best medicine for them to relieve their worries.
Sorrow and misery, right and wrong grievances are unavoidable in the red dust, and even if you are drunk, you can't escape it. As the saying goes, the water is more flowing when the knife is drawn, and the water is more sorrowful when you raise a glass to eliminate sorrow. Drinking alcohol in moderation can be enjoyable, but excessive drinking can be harmful to the body.
In ancient TV dramas, we can see heroes putting down their swords in restaurants, sitting on benches and loudly ordering wine and snacks to Xiao Er, such as beef and peanuts, which are excellent accompaniments to wine.
Who doesn't want to travel back to that prosperous era and feel the economic development of the Tang Dynasty and the profound cultural heritage of the Song Dynasty? Putting the silver on the table and leaving in style after a full meal is the choice of most people.
Traveling to the Tang and Song dynasties, you can not only experience the prosperity of that time, but also feel the cultural heritage of that era.
Although the Song Dynasty was not as strong as the Tang Dynasty, it was more prosperous economically and commercially. In terms of culture, Song poetry and Tang poetry go hand in hand, and the paintings are even more colorful.
The Song Dynasty lifted the curfew and allowed the people to walk freely at night. Different regions have formed their own unique eating habits, and people in the south mostly rely on fish and meat as their staple food because of the dense water network, abundant water sources, and developed aquatic industry.
In addition to sheep and fish, the common people also raised chickens, ducks and pigs, and chicken, duck and pork also appeared on the people's tables from time to time. The Song Dynasty, one is magnificent, the other is elegant and beautiful.
Population movements have brought about a new food culture. In the countryside, there are also a number of small restaurants that serve food to guests passing by. A pot of mellow old wine and a plate of game make people have an endless aftertaste.
The increase in the variety of meat has also made people's tables more diverse.
Most of the common people obey the laws and regulations of the government and do not slaughter cattle without permission. However, the recklessness of the rivers and lakes is an exception. Most of them are composed of people who are hunted down by the government, and they often do not obey the instructions of the government, and they are even more unrestrained.
For them, beef is a delicacy that they can eat when they want. Beef shops are not usually located prominently in the city center, but in the suburbs or in the countryside where the government is not well supervised, where the reckless people seek out food.
As for chicken, duck, fish, meat, and pork, the people could enjoy them at home. However, due to their limited income, they do not easily choose chicken, duck, fish, and meat when ordering in restaurants, because they are usually priced by the whole and are relatively high.
This is not cost-effective for ordinary people, so they will not choose these dishes easily.
We taste food in restaurants, and we are not only looking for the taste of home-cooked food, but also the unique and original taste. Although chicken, duck and fish can be easily cooked at home, the food at the restaurant is unique.
During the Song Dynasty, pork had become one of the staple foods of the people, but due to the lack of seasonings, pork often appeared greasy and tasteless. However, the wide variety of seasonings in modern society, especially the introduction of chili peppers, not only removes the oiliness of pork, but also brings out the deliciousness of pork, making our taste more pleasant.
The introduction of chili peppers is undoubtedly a revolution in pork cooking, which brings a new flavor to pork and allows us to taste the incomparable cuisine of home-cooked food in restaurants.
In the Song Dynasty, due to the lack of seasonings, the taste of pork was not satisfactory, so mutton became the first choice on people's tables. From the royal palace to the people, mutton is highly favored, and the cooking method is becoming more and more sophisticated.
For example, Song Renzong was fond of yokan, and once he felt hungry after reviewing the cantata late at night and wanted to drink a bowl of yokan, but he knew that the fire in the dining room had been turned off, and it would obviously not be appropriate if he caused some more hectic because of his needs. Therefore, he chose patience.
The emperor led by example and advocated frugality to avoid putting an additional burden on the dining room. Therefore, he resisted the ** of the yokan. The literati of the Song Dynasty were keen to cook mutton, drink and enjoy the scenery, and compose poems, etc., as a way to escape the troubles of the world and enjoy the pleasure of food, beautiful scenery and masterpieces.
Although mutton was admired by everyone in the Song Dynasty, the only people who could really enjoy it were emperors, nobles and scholars. And the common people may be able to enjoy the pork that is close to the people, or the beef that is banned by the government, but still can't resist it.
Living conditions are much better today than in ancient times, but the most important health issues, especially diet, are often overlooked. In ancient times, due to the harsh environment and low productivity, people's life expectancy was generally not high, and the survival rate was also low.
New copywriting: Although the production efficiency is now improved and the material is abundant, there are some irrational phenomena in the diet. Although supplementation can strengthen the body, if you eat irregularly, exercise less, or overeat all kinds of meat, it can put a burden on your body.
Can pulling seedlings really make plants and animals grow faster? Is it really harmless to humans? The answer is uncertain, as the food may taste bad and eating too many hormones can also be harmful to the human body, such as obesity and premature maturation in children.
