Grass is not yellow As the saying goes 236: hibiscus eggs with hibiscus flowers

How to eat eggs, the author used to be in guang'an hometown, if you have a birthday, it is to eat "梱/浑蛋" (啵啵蛋) "rolling Yang Ditch". Or omelette, or "beaten egg flowers", or "steamed egg", the brine egg has not yet been eaten. Thirty years ago, from Wuhan to Chongqing, I heard a few new sayings: "the water has risen" (the water has opened), "flipped up" (flipped open), and "hibiscus eggs". Oh, hibiscus eggs turned out to be what we call "steamed eggs".

【Hibiscus egg】Steamed egg. Southwest Mandarin. Chongqing, Guilin, Guangxi. (Chinese Dialect Dictionary)

This statement may also be found elsewhere, such as:

Hibiscus egg is a local traditional dish in Guangdong, which belongs to the Guangzhou feast dish. This dish is a traditional flavor, suitable for both winter and summer, golden color, caramelized on the outside, soft on the inside, crisp bamboo shoots, wine and rice.

Stir-fry egg liquid with char siu pork, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, seasonings, etc. The dish is lumpy, golden on both sides, various by-products are wrapped in egg pieces, interlaced with each other, the outer layer is tender and smooth, the egg is fragrant, scooped with a soup spoon to eat, slightly sour and fragrant, soft and tender, the egg has been belly, but the meat is still chewy, the meat taste and egg aroma, the taste is unique.

Hibiscus eggs are key in "egg liquid". There are also "hibiscus spinach soup", "spinach mushroom hibiscus soup", "egg minced fresh fish", "spinach egg paste", "egg minced corn porridge" and so on. Whether it is "hibiscus" or "egg paste", in short, the egg is evenly scattered into a paste, beaten into a stalk. Now to say, what does this "hibiscus" mean? Hibiscus is a lotus flower, is it taken from the meaning of "lotus"? Or "The appearance of snow skin flowers is jagged" (Tang Baijuyi's "Long Hate Song": "One of the characters is too true, and the appearance of snow skin flowers is jagged." ") means?

Called the soup "Hibiscus", the "Tune Ding Collection" with The name of the Qing Dynasty based on Yangzhou cuisine has "Hibiscus Chicken": Tender chicken boneless hanging meat... Add pine nuts, bamboo shoots, etc., with wine, vinegar and salt, to make a "soup". Together with "hibiscus eggs" are "soup".

[róng] or [yóng]

Once, I said to a colleague from Guang'an, who was born in Chongqing, that I like to eat "hard" things, not [yóng] things. She yelled, "What a [yóng] not [yóng], it sounds like hemp!" ", let me be stunned, I don't know which river water sent! It was later understood that [yóng] could not be said, only [róng]. It turned out that her mother was born in Guang'an, and often said "[yóng] porridge", "[yóng] wow" and the like, and her children laughed at her and said something like "line knots - county knots - country dialects" and "sounds like hemp weeds". Oh, weird and ancient.

【Rong】(1) Dilute: Scoop to you ~ dry (scoop it thin). (2) Thin things: garlic ~ | coconut ~ .

The word and word point have the meaning of "rong": beans, melons and fruits cooked and dried and then ground flour to make a pastry filling. Such as bean paste, lotus paste, coconut paste (Hanyu Da Zidian). There is generally no documentary evidence. There is a saying in the dialect that "Rong Rong rots":

[Rong Rong rotten] tattered. Canton, Guangdong (Cantonese): Divide the book to ~, point to the eye (make the book tattered, how to see it)

Usually said is "garlic paste", generally known as "garlic mushroom". Considering its words, it may be appropriate to use it as "饔". Furry, plush "fur, velvet", for the meaning of fine and soft.

[饔] "The corpse of the parents" Mao Chuan: "Cooked food." (Shih-Ya-Chi-pa)

"Gluttony is not on" He Xiu's note: "Gluttony, cooked meat." (Ram Biography , Duke Zhao) Yu Rongche, Ping Chung Ying. eastern.

That is, "cooked rotten for food". Press: The earlier glyphs of 饔之 (the so-called "honji") are from "Yong", "Shuwen Food Department": "Yu Shi Ya." Gui Fu righteously proved: "Tong Zuo Yong." ”

【雍】 "Eat and sacrifice Yong Cuan" Zheng Xuan's note: "Yong, the flesh." (Etiquette and Special Animal Feeding Ceremony)

Sima Zhensuoyin, "Tai Bo Brother Zhongyong": "Yong is the food of the people." (History of the Wu Taibo family) Yu Rongche, Ping Chung Ying. eastern.

"Raoyong" and so on actually form a group with "Loung Yong Yong" and so on and "Soft And Weak Cowardice" and so on: 饔雍穰䑋瓤 → Soft and weak → weak cowardly...). The "wow" that describes "wow" should also be a dialect sound in this series.

Second, the "Fu" of "Hibiscus": Rotten

Since "rong" is "ripe", then "hibiscus" may be a synonym. The words associated with "fu" are:

[腐] (火巴) This word is used as "rot". "Sayings": "Rotten, rotten also." Rotten, Shuowen Huobu: "Oh, the fire is ripe." "The state of man's poverty is known as that of a miscreant." (Bashu dialect of Bashu county landlord Xiang Xianqiao Chu)

"Saying Wen Meat Department", "Wen Xuan Mei Cheng< Seven Hairs >", "Fate of rotten intestine medicine" Li Zhouhan note: "Rotten, rotten also." "Guangya ShiYi III", "Anthology ji kang< health theory>" "aromatic rot its bone marrow" Zhang Milling note: "rot, defeat also." ”

"Corrupt Confucianism" Yan Shigu's note: "Corrupt people, rotten and corrupt also." (Hanshu Tuobu Chuan) Fu Yu Cut, Shang Mu Feng. Houbu.

[魄] "The Bad Luck of the Ancients Has Been Husband" Lu Deming's interpretation quoted Sima Yun: "Rotten food is known as Luo." "It's a mess." (Zhuangzi Tiandao) Pu Boche, into the strange. Dobby.

[汃] Ming Yue Yuansheng's "Dialect Evidence" volume: "Things and earth are called 汃." Ming Li Shi's Shu Language: "Yi Yi is rotten, and righteousness is the same as The Bhagavad gibberish." "The Word Collection Supplement" Shu BaChe.

[Po] indecisive. Qing Zhai Hao's "Popular Compilation and Temperament": "Sex is indecisive and quick to be a wife." Mother-in-law said this. Boboche, Pingo and. Song Department.

[Wan] Guangya Shi Beast Rabbit also Wang Niansun Shu evidence: The, the newborn is weak and small. "Fang meets the cut, go to meet the dress."

Press: Ming Li Shi "Shu Language": Rotten Yue (Stinky), Yin Bao. (Crooked) same. All things are rotten, the earth is muddy, the fruit is ripe, the grain is not dry, the weak man, the thing is not rigid, all are known as (evil evil).

That is to say, "rot, meal", etc. are the "(huoba)" of "ripe rot" and "weakness" in today's southwest dialect. "Fu" is associated with "rot". "(Huoba)" can be thought of as the mouth pronunciation of "meal". We have repeatedly demonstrated that the "white" of "white" corresponds to the southwest dialect of "ba" and "㞎" of 㞎之 "㞎", respectively.

Therefore, hibiscus is "ripe rotten".

Third, the predecessor of "Hibiscus"

The combination of "Fu" and "Rong" has long had "signs":

[Dung Soil] Xuanying Yinyi, Volume VIII "Dung Soil" Note: "Gentle No 皃也." ”

[Bo Lang] "Zhou Li Di Guan Cao Ren" "Bo Lang with arc" Zheng Xuan note "Bo Lang, fan interpreter" Jia Gong Yan Shu: "The soil is gentle. ”

This "dung soil" and "Buru" should be an early form of "hibiscus". They are also related to the [grave soil] of the fertile land (Zhou Li Di Guan Cao Ren: "Where manure is sown, the cattle are used for the chi gang, the sheep are used for the chi ti, and the mound is used for the millet." Where the fertile land is bound to be soft, for the compacted land must not produce crops. For this reason, they are most likely a group with "fluffy" (pine is derived from "fluffy", etc.).

Fourth, the other meaning of "hibiscus": beautiful and beautiful

Hibiscus is the original name of a plant of the genus Hibiscus in the family Mallow family. Aliases: hibiscus flower, frost repellent flower, wood lotus, ground hibiscus, chinese wood, drunken hibiscus, etc. Mallow family, hibiscus genus deciduous shrubs or small trees. Hibiscus flowers are large and beautiful, and are long-cultivated garden ornamental plants in China. It is related to the meaning of "Fuso" that we talked about (the grass is not yellow as the saying goes 161 "Fuso Flowers Bloom Tears Basha"). Therefore, the "hibiscus" of these dishes as follows has the meaning of "cooked rotten and soup", and the meaning of "艷丽" (golden yellow):

【Hibiscus dry sugar】Beijing fried snacks. Flour is the main ingredient. Golden in color, tender on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and delicious. (Chinese Culinary Dictionary)

Liaoyang famous point "Hibiscus Cake" is characterized by "light yellow color, sweet and crisp" (ibid.), Sichuan [Hibiscus Chicken Slices] [Hibiscus Meat Slices] Ingredients are inseparable from "egg whites". Although "hibiscus is like snow, chicken waist is like jade", it is also inseparable from "egg white".

【Hibiscus Fried Chicken Slices】 (Beijing cuisine) is made of "lotus puree egg whites, etc."

Therefore, the word "hibiscus" in food contains both the meaning of "rotten and soft" and the meaning of "golden" (golden). Soft rotten roots from "fluffy", Gu Li root from "Fusang". The lotus flower is nicknamed "Hibiscus", which is taken from its "beautiful" meaning. With a hibiscus-like beauty, this really fulfills the "snow skin flower tolerance is"!
