The sixty-fifth time in "Dream of the Red Chamber" depicts Jia Lian and Jia Zhen going to You Erjie's home together and flirting with You Sanjie, and their little squatter drinking in another room, the book reads:
"Here Xi'er drank a few drinks, and it was already eye-catching." Long Er Shou'er closed the door, and when he looked back and saw Xi'er lying upright on the kang, the two of them pushed him and said, "Good brother, get up and sleep well, just take care of you alone, we will be bitter." Na Xi'er then said, Let's put a stove of baked bread in a fair way today, and we must have a person who is full and tight, and I will my mother.
The term "sticker baked cake", the "Dictionary of the Dream of the Red Chamber" commented: "Burnt cake, that is, stove cake." There are sesame seeds called hu cake, with yeast flour rolling agent, into a small cake shape, the cake surface brushed with sugar water, the cake is stuffed (or not filled), into the oven kang cooked. Jia Lian Xiao Gu Long Er and Jia Zhen Xiao Wei Xi Er and Shou Er went to Huazhi Lane together, and three people sleeping on a kang were crowded, and Xi Er said: "Let's post a stove of baked cakes in a fair way today." The metaphor of sticking burnt bread is lined up tightly. ”
This paragraph of commentary can be said to be a strange text in the world, I really don't know how the commentator read "Dream of the Red Chamber", and he would even think of this aspect.
The word has appeared in the ninth episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber". In the academy, Qin Zhong asked Xiangpi to go to the backyard to talk, and was asking Xiangpi if the adults in the family could care about him making friends, and Jin Rong, who was also in the academy, happened to come and said that he could also hold it and wanted to smoke a head. Xiang Pi was a little annoyed and asked him what he was holding, and the book wrote: "Jin Rong laughed and said, 'It is true that I have taken it now.'" He said and clapped his hands and laughed and shouted, "Good baked cakes!" Don't you all buy one?' Qin and Xiang were angry and anxious, and came in to tell Jia Rui about Jin Rong, saying that Jin Rong had said bad things about others for no reason. This "sticker burnt cake" refers to the sexual behavior between the same sex should be unmistakable, but various versions of "Dream of the Red Chamber" have not been annotated, thus causing the meaning of the text to be difficult to understand.
If it is said that "sticking burnt cakes" is "metaphorically rowed up and squeezed tightly", then in the ninth time Qin Zhong and Xiang Pi did not sleep on the kang, but stood in the backyard, how could Jin Rong say that they were "sticking burnt cakes"? If the best commentary on this word is in this ninth time, it is written in the book that Jin Rong returned to the academy and still insisted: "The two of him who are clearly aware of him are kissing their butts in the back yard, and the two have agreed, one-on-one, and the grass sticks are drawn long and short, and who is long and who does it." It is clear to say here that the so-called "sticker baked cake" refers to this kind of sexual behavior between the same sex.
Some people may say that Jin Rong's "sticking burnt cake" and Xi'er's "sticking baked cake" are two different things, Jin Rong may refer to sex between the same sex, but Xi'er means "squeezed tightly". So let's analyze this paragraph of Xi'er, when he said, Let's just paste a stove today, then said: There must be a person who is full and tight, I will my mother, if it is suspected that the people on the kang are crowded and panicked, what does it have to do with filling and tightening? It has nothing to do with the sex life of the other mother. Therefore, the usage here, like the usage of the ninth Jin Rong, refers to the sexual behavior of the same sex question.
As mentioned above, since "sticking to the cake" refers to sex between the same sex, why does this hidden language appear?" What is the intrinsic connection between "sticking burnt bread" and same-sex sexual behavior? This is to find the answer in the rich bakery business.
The rich burnt cake is different from the burnt cake mentioned in the "Dictionary of the Dream of the Red Chamber", which is said to use "fermented noodles", but the rich burnt cake uses "dead noodles", that is, unleavened noodles. There are also noodles that use noodles, but they are not called "burnt cakes", they are called "noodles burned", and only with dead noodles are called "burnt cakes". After rolling the dead noodles into a dough crust, rub the flour mixed with oil on the dough sheet, then roll it up, pull it into a potion, or wrap the filling or not, after making a baked cake, the surface does not need to brush sugar water, directly dipped in sesame seeds can be put into the oven.
The biggest difference is the stove where the baked cakes are baked. There are about three kinds of rich baking ovens: hanging stoves, clay ovens, and cylinder stoves. Among them, the cylinder furnace is authentic, that is, the porcelain water tank containing water lies horizontally, the charcoal fire is burned below, and after the cylinder is heated, the baking cake is put into the cylinder, pasted to the cylinder wall, and shoveled down when cooked. Therefore, a pause can be generated: paste the baked cake - into the tank. "Into the cylinder" harmonic sound "into the anus", into, the old reading of "day", now Peking Opera Daobai still reads this way, we usually scold people to say "into your mother", but also pronounced "day" sound, which is synonymous with Jin Rong said "arse ass". In this way, is there no direct connection between "sticking burnt bread" and same-sex sexual behavior?
Rich cylinder stove baked cake to "chess piece baked cake" as a typical representative, is a very famous local snack, its shape and size and ordinary chess pieces similar, characterized by must be rubbed with sesame oil, wrapped meat filling, baked in the cylinder oven, the filling must be baked to a semi-dry state, the fat of the filling is all baked into the dough, so that not only to eat crispy and delicious, the most important thing is to be able to withstand preservation, in the middle of summer can be put for a month and the color and aroma remain unchanged.
Can eat. This thing is made by the Fengrun Cao family as authentic, and when the last descendant of the Fengrun Cao family died in the 1940s, the chess piece baked cake was lost, and although it is still available for sale, it is far from that taste. This is also a snack passed down from the Shandong migrants, mainly for people to take on the road to eat, "Golden Bottle Plum" Ximen Qing has already eaten this thing on the road.
The term "sticker baked cake" was very popular in Fengrun in the past, and its meaning is exactly the same as the use in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Mr. Cao Zhaorong of the Fengrun Cao clan once had a memory, when he was in elementary school, there were often male classmates in the upper grades flirting with the handsome male classmates in the lower grades, forcing them to kiss their mouths or stick their faces, and they always said: "Come, let me paste a burnt cake." Therefore, Mr. Cao lao believes that "sticking burnt cakes" is kissing the mouth, especially between men. It can be seen that this word is a Fengrun buzzword, and it is likely that it is a unique word of Fengrun, because the use of this word has not been heard in the surrounding counties of Fengrun and the old urban area of Tangshan. Therefore, we can fully conclude that this word was cao Xueqin's direct transfer of Fengrun's unique words into the book "Dream of the Red Chamber", which shows that his relationship with Fengrun is by no means ordinary.
It is precisely because the red scholars do not understand the rich customs and customs that they have made an explanation like the "Dictionary of the Dream of the Red Chamber", which is not shallow.
