When buying abalone, the merchant asks you to "how many heads", what does it mean? Know early and don't make jokes
Presumably many people have heard of the idiom "mountain treasure seafood", and mountain treasure seafood, is a type of food summarized in ancient times, and now, it has also become a "high nutrition, high value" food collective name, in ancient times, "mountain treasure seafood", is also divided into grades, there are eight treasures, eight treasures and eight treasures, but in this classification, there are sea cucumbers, and there is no abalone.
Abalone from ancient times to the present, is a valuable ingredient, as early as the "Book of Rites", abalone has been recorded, abalone is the first of the eight treasures of the sea, and fish belly (also for fish maw), sea cucumber, are one of the four sea flavors, and abalone is "the first of the four sea flavors", "the crown of seafood".
Abalone is also known as "sea ear", can be understood as "the ear of the ocean", abalone with shell seafood, not only fresh meat, excellent taste, while extremely rich in nutrition, rich in protein, as well as calcium, iron, iodine, vitamin A and other trace elements, in the dietary therapy, abalone has the effect of nourishing yin, flat liver, solid kidney and so on
Because abalone is excellent in both taste and nutrition, because it was called "soft gold" by the ancients, Chinese culture is broad and profound, has a long history, and is all-encompassing, one of the branches is the colloquialism, the scope of the colloquialism is extremely wide, one of which reflects the value of abalone, so it is said: "A mouthful of abalone a mouthful of gold"
In some large banquets, high-end restaurants, abalone is an indispensable dish, in fact, as early as the Qing Dynasty's court feast, there was a record of "full abalone banquet".
If you go to buy abalone, or the restaurant to order abalone-related dishes, many merchants and waiters, will ask to buy or order "a few heads", some people think that the number of abalone mentioned here, means a few abalone, so he replied: "Then come to two ends!" ”
It turned out that the price of the two-headed abalone was extremely expensive and could not be consumed, so a joke was made.
In fact, the "several heads" mentioned by the merchant or waiter does not refer to the number of abalone, but to the quality of the abalone.
Abalone is based on the "head" to determine the quality, the reason why the price of the two heads of abalone mentioned above is extremely high, because the two heads of abalone are extremely rare, the quality is extremely high, there is a saying that goes like this: "It is difficult to buy two heads of abalone with money." This kind of abalone with high grade, small quantity and high price was collectively called "mackerel" in ancient times.
So, how to distinguish the abalone is "how many"? In fact, the answer is very simple, a few here refers to several such abalone, the weight is one pound, for example, two such abalone, the weight is one pound, then such abalone, is two heads of abalone. However, it is worth noting that the jin mentioned here is not today's unit of measurement "jin", but refers to another unit of measurement, called "Sima Jin"
It can be seen that the smaller the number of "heads" of abalone, the larger the volume, the rarer, and the smaller the number of heads of abalone, the better the taste, and the more valuable it is.
At present, most of the abalone that people often eat on the market is more than eight abalone.
