In the past few days, the country has begun to cool down. The wax moon is the focus of the transition of yin and yang, yin energy is extremely strong and declining, and yang energy is weak and originates. At this time, the fragile parts of the human body, such as the shoulders and neck, head, knees, abdomen, etc., are more susceptible to cold.
At this time, the body naturally thought of a kind of thing, sweet and slightly sour, with an intoxicating aroma of wine, it is a good thing left by the ancestors - mash (also known as wine).
1 醪糟
It is both through and complementary, and it can be walked
Mash is made of glutinous rice, glutinous rice is different from rice, rice is japonica rice, relatively peaceful, mainly tonifying the spleen and stomach, glutinous rice is warm, and has the effect of warming the kidney.
Li Shizhen believes that it "warms the spleen and stomach, stops deficiency and cold diarrhea, and shrinks stool", which refers to its effect of warming the kidneys and strengthening kidney qi.
But glutinous rice has a big problem, that is, it is sticky, not easy to digest, and people with weak digestive function can't eat more.
At this time, the wisdom of the fermentation of the ancestors came into play.
Ordinary glutinous rice, after fermentation, becomes soft and glutinous and sweet, like wine but not wine. The ripe juice is rice wine, and the remaining "essence of rice" is the sake moromi.
After glutinous rice is brewed into mash, there is no sticky problem, not only easy to digest, but also with a little wine characteristics, more good at penetration, qi and blood, can travel the whole body, go up to the lung meridian, go to the liver meridian, go down to the kidney meridian. The glutinous rice's ability to replenish kidney qi is quickly introduced to the whole body, and the effect of nourishing blood and driving away cold, dissolving blood stasis and passing through menstruation is faster.
Therefore, the mash lees has both the general properties of wine and the tonic properties of glutinous rice, which can be described as "both through and supplement, and can be used to go".
Mash is the focus of the transformation from grain to wine, and it is also the "first-hand essence" of glutinous rice. It is a cloudy rice wine, which completely retains all the enzyme nutrients of glutinous rice fermentation.
The classic of traditional Chinese medicine "Shennong's Materia Medica" records: "Mash is the valley of spleen and stomach and lungs." If the spleen and stomach are profitable, then the middle is self-warming, the temperature can nourish the qi, and the qi is smooth, the body is hot, and the spleen and lungs are weak and cold. ”
(1) Rice wine (mash) enters the lung meridian, which can replenish the deficiency and cold of the lungs. And the lungs are the main fur, and the lungs are the main fur, so the mash can "jump the skin", it can act directly on the skin, making the skin moisturized.
(2) Rice wine (mash) enters the liver meridian, which can invigorate blood, disperse knots and reduce swelling, and regulate menstruation and milk. For women with stagnation of qi and blood, easy menstrual cramps, and breast tenderness, drinking a bowl of hot mash water during menstruation can relieve liver depression and relieve uncomfortable symptoms of dysmenorrhea.
(3) Rice wine (mash) enters the kidney meridian and can replenish kidney deficiency. People who have a lot of nocturnal urination, sore legs and feet, and diarrhea in the early morning can eat some boiled mash rice balls, and the effect can be seen soon.
(4) Rice wine (mash) is sweet and mellow, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive glands, increase appetite and help digestion.
Therefore, women in southern confinement know that they need to eat boiled eggs with mash grains to help discharge lochia, replenish qi and blood, and promote milk.
Women with qi and blood deficiency and blood stasis should come to eat some mash and rice wine in winter to nourish qi and blood, strengthen kidney qi, dissolve the bruises in the body, and force out the cold in the body. After drinking, the complexion will be more ruddy and the skin will be translucent, especially for people who are born cold and prone to cold hands and feet.
For middle-aged and elderly people with rheumatoid arthritis, frequent backache and numbness of hands and feet, a bowl of hot drink mash is warmed from head to toe after drinking.

In the memories of many southern partners, in addition to bacon and sausages, homemade rice wine is also an indispensable delicacy during the Chinese New Year. Especially in winter, you can't live without a bowl of piping hot mash rice wine.
Rice wine is made when the fermented mash is peeled off and the juice is ripe. Compared with mash, the rice wine is sweeter and has a stronger power.
Rice wine has a very low alcohol content and will further volatilize when heated, but it retains the advantages of warm and yang divergence.
In fact, there is a habit of eating rice wine all over the country:
For example, osmanthus paste rice wine with the temperament of old Wuhan. Put water and lotus root flour into the rice wine, thick, and drink a bowl of warm huhu, which is especially good with Wuhan hot dry noodles.
In addition, steamed buns made with rice wine instead of yeast noodles are a rare delicacy. Before the Qingming Festival, the old Suzhou people would use the preserved winter brewed dough and add fillings such as roses, bean paste, and mint to make wine cakes.

And Lanzhou, Gansu Province, which is famous for its beef noodles, has a reserved delicacy - milk and egg mash. This dessert is mixed with milk and mixed with various nuts. The soup is snow-white, the egg flowers are smooth, and the milky fragrance is overflowing.
