The legend of fritters
You know that fritters are a favorite breakfast for everyone, but do you know the origin of fritters? If you don't know, then listen to me and tell you:
More than 800 years ago, during the Southern Song Dynasty, Tianzi Zhao Was dimwitted and incompetent, and reused the traitor Qin Ju as the prime minister. Qin Juniper monopolized the government and government, deceived the Heavenly Son, suppressed the masses of subjects, harmed Zhongliang at home, and surrendered to foreign countries. With his stinky wife Wang Shi, he had an adulterous golden vulture...
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Qin Ju falsely preached the holy will on trumped-up charges, killing the national hero Yue Fei and his son-in-law so that the anti-enemy army was leaderless, and a large area of land was invaded by jin soldiers, and the people were in deep trouble. The Southern Song Dynasty was also very critical, and everyone was cursing the traitor Qin Juniper with their teeth. There was an old man who sold fried steamed buns, and in order to dispel the anger in his chest, he pinched a man and a woman and two small noodles with noodles, tied them together, put them into a boiling oil pot and turned them over and over, took them out and ate them while saying: "I eat you a traitor Qin Juniper, eat you an adulteress Wang Clan!" The neighbors and neighbors knew about it, and they all flocked to buy his "fried Qin Juniper and Wang's" to eat to relieve the hatred in their hearts. Some people are timid, afraid that the officials will find out, so they go to buy it at dawn and eat it early. This matter spread ten times, ten to a hundred, and reached Qin Juniper's ears, and he sent someone to kill the old man who blew up the steamed buns. The people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Soon, there was another person who fried steamed bread instead of kneading noodles, but pressed two raw noodles together and fried them, named "fried juniper" and sold them to the people to eat. After Qin Ju knew about it, he arrested him again and killed him. His family went out. Continue to fry this kind of oil cargo, but change the name to "fried ghost". And threatened to imitate Yama Wangye's frying of evil spirits. Qin Juniper did not dare to admit that he was an evil ghost, and of course it was not easy to stop it. However, the common people still eat it as fried Qin juniper and Wang's family.
Because the "fried ghost" is a long strip, some people will call it a fritter later!
Trivia: Fritters, also known as dumplings, is an ancient Han noodle dish, long strip hollow fried food, the taste is crisp and tough, one of the traditional Chinese breakfasts. [1] The History of the Song Dynasty records that during the Song Dynasty, Qin Juniper persecuted Yue Fei, and the people expressed their anger by frying a noodle food similar to fritters (fried juniper). Similar fried pasta, whose origins are far earlier than the Song Dynasty, can be traced back to before the Tang Dynasty, and the specific period cannot be verified.
As early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the Northern Wei agronomist Jia Sixun. In his book "Qi Min Zhi Shu", he recorded the preparation method of fried food. "Qi Min Zhi Shu" said: "Thin ring cake, a cold tool, Cuimei". During the Tang Dynasty, the poet Liu Yuxi also mentioned cold gear in the "Good Story". It is mentioned in the "Yu Yin Cong Dialect of The Dragon Creek" that Dongpo is in the diet, and the poems are written to write, often all of which are exquisite, such as "Old Food Endowment" and "Bean Porridge Poem". And "Cold Poetry" Yun: "Slim hands rub jade number search, green oil fried out of tender yellow deep, night spring sleep without weight, press the beauty wrapped around the arm gold." 'The cold tool is twisted head also, out of Liu Yuxi's "Good Story". However, this food called "cold gear" should resemble the arm-wrapping gold worn by women, similar to a sprinkler, not a fritter. Fritters should be another innovation in fried pasta after the Southern Song Dynasty.
The names of fritters vary from place to place, shanxi is called hemp leaf; many regions in the northeast and north China call fritters "dumplings"; some areas in Anhui call them "oil buns"; Guangzhou and surrounding areas are called fried ghosts; Chaoshan areas and other places call fried fruits; Zhejiang region has the name of Tianluo tendon (Tianluo is a loofah, the old loofah is dried and peeled off the shell will leave loofah tendons, its shape is very similar to fritters, so it is called fritters as Tianluo tendons).
