As the capital of jin, yuan, ming and qing, Beijing is definitely extremely exquisite in terms of eating. It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, some of the fallen Eight Flags disciples had to cut into slices and eat them roasted.
Let's take a look at Beijing's specialty: fried sauce noodles, just noodles mixed with sauce to eat, but also to make the side dishes into a full table of Han Chinese. A bowl of fermented bean juice can also be eaten at the breakfast stall. Mixed with cabbage with sesame sauce, it can also become a famous dish, and gave a very atmospheric name "Qianlong cabbage"...
And so on, so that many outsiders think: Beijing people eat, really is "poor and exquisite"! However, Beijing cuisine is actually "really exquisite", not "poor and exquisite".
The cooking techniques are complex and exquisite, burning, burning, boiling, each with its own characteristics. The requirements for ingredients are extremely high, and sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fin, bird's nest, and other delicacies are all guests of Beijing cuisine. Dried roasted anchovies, sweet and sour cherry meat, etc., the dishes are abundant.
Therefore, to say that Beijingers eat is "poor and exquisite" really makes Beijingers "cry out for injustice". Because, in the eyes of Beijing foodies, Shandong people are also very particular about eating, and Beijing cuisine and Lu cuisine are also inextricably linked. Even The Peking duck is also made from Lu cuisine.
So, why do few people complain about Shandong people eating? Today, Lao Yu will nag with everyone, how Shandong people pay attention to eating!
1, eat to pay attention to the order of seats.
Shandong people pay attention to the dining table culture, inherit the etiquette of Qilu culture and Confucian culture, and pay great attention to the arrangement of seats when eating, especially when eating.
In general, we take the right as the guest, that is, the seat where the distinguished guest sits. The position facing the gate is the main escort. The main escort is the person who controls the overall situation of the dinner table, responsible for driving everyone to drink, adjusting the atmosphere of the dinner table, and finally checking out.
The main escort sits in the opposite position is the deputy escort, and the position next to the main guest and the deputy guest is the third and fourth escorts.
2, eat to pay attention to the order of cooking.
Even when eating, Shandong people should pay attention to the order, rather than putting all the brains on the table, or randomly messing around without a clue.
Shandong people should "chicken head, fish sweep tail". And it is one chicken, two bamboo shoots, three soups, and four meats. Or a chicken, two bamboo shoots, or three meats...
In short, the first chicken means "great luck". The second bamboo shoot means "rising higher and higher". These two dishes are in a fixed order, starting with the third course, and each place or family can be different according to their own habits.
Of course, "welcoming guest dumplings, sending guest noodles" is also a very exquisite order on our Shandong people's dinner table. Guests come and serve a bowl of dumplings symbolizing reunion to express their enthusiasm.
The guests are leaving, or the feast is over, and a bowl of noodles is served. It means that our feelings are long and long, and even if we are gone, we must always contact each other in the future.
3, Shandong Lu cuisine name exquisite.
Shandong people's exquisite eating is also very prominent in the name of Lu cuisine. It sounds good, the meaning is good, and it can also highlight the main ingredients.
For example, the braised large intestine is called "nine-turn large intestine", and a dish consisting of sea cucumber and quail eggs is called "oolong spit beads". In addition, hydrangea whole fish, chrysanthemum whole fish, screen window bright moon soup, Mandarin duck fish fan, hibiscus chicken slices, pot bridle chicken sticks, etc. are all Lu dishes with good meanings.
4, Shandong Lu cuisine cooking exquisite.
Lu cuisine, like Beijing cuisine, is extremely particular in cooking. The knife skills must be excellent, carving flowers, carving birds, and having the ability to cut tofu into hair.
In addition to the cooking skills of other cuisines, there are many unique secrets in the cooking of Lu cuisine. Crispy, soft fried, bad, sauce bursting, coriander popping, vinegar cooking, etc.
One of the cooking techniques alone can lead to N kinds of dishes. Pot collapse puddle, pot collapse tofu, pot collapse yellow fish, and so on. And this cooking technology has had an impact on the diet of many places, such as Qinghai's pasta likes the pot collapse method, and Jiangsu also has a dish of three fresh eggs.
Therefore, Lu cuisine is recognized as the first of the eight major cuisines, and has a certain influence on all cuisines. In the traditional impression, it has a well-known reputation, pay attention to some, and everyone has accepted it.
5, Shandong Lu cuisine is extremely particular about tableware.
Like Beijing cuisine, Shandong Lu cuisine also gives people a sense of grandeur, at least not in an ordinary bowl to serve. Even a small amount of dishes cannot be inferior to the cutlery.
After all, Lu cuisine was once a court dish, and its influence on other cuisines was far-reaching, so the momentum that should be there could not be lost. And Beijing cuisine is also developed on the basis of Lu cuisine, so it also defaults to the elegance of Lu cuisine.
Tables in different places have different eating habits and different gastronomic characteristics. Therefore, no matter how exquisite it is, everyone can eat comfortably. Are you right?
