A "Golden Plum Bottle" records various stories in the world.
The content is a grand view, and different people see very different stories from it, with gourmets focusing on food, while sociologists focus on social ecology. Today, the richness and diversity of its values cannot be ignored.
"Golden Plum Bottle" is a cultural treasure house.
World love novel "Jin Ping Mei" do not know how many people have been lost, remember that before it was not found all over, a friend found a pirated copy, but also roughly turned it over, and then looked at the electronic version, or think that its story and writing method in today's there is still worth learning. Although "Jin Ping Mei" is a popular novel, there are many diets mentioned in it, and all kinds of diets are recorded in Shao Wankuan and Zhang Guochao's "Jin Ping Mei Diet Recipe", "The Golden Bottle Dishes not only represent the food style of the Ming Dynasty, but also have its unique production style", which can be called the "Recipe Compendium" in the Ming Dynasty City.
This "cookbook" includes delicious dishes, pasta omnivores, dried and fresh fruits, and even less wine and tea, as many as 200 kinds. Among the pastries are shou noodles, pork head brine noodles and eel noodles.
There is a sentence in the fiftieth time of "Jin Ping Mei": Wang Liu'er's birthday, please ximen Qing come and sit down. In the evening, Tortoise An came to Han's house to pick up Ximen Qing, and Mother Feng said, "An Guan'er, your Aunt Han only cares about waiting for you to not see you, and leaves a part for you." "So he took a plate of donkey meat, a plate of roast chicken, two bowls of shou noodles, and a vegetarian wine from the cupboard, and let Tortoisen eat it."
This shou noodle was originally to be eaten for birthdays, and it was quite popular in the Ming Dynasty to celebrate the birthday with noodles. According to the "Daming Huidian", during the Xuande period, the Eastern Palace Thousand Autumn Festival, there was Shou Noodles (the "Thousand Autumn Festival" here is an honorific title for the birthday); during the orthodox year, the Emperor and Empress Dowager Shou were born, there were Shou Noodles, and if you want to come, it must be the Dragon's Whisker Noodles. And the shou noodles that Haw an eats, when they are ordinary noodles, should not be too luxurious.
Pork head brine noodles are rarely seen today. In the fifty-second time, there is a scene of Ximen Qing accompanying the gang and bringing his brothers Count Ying and Xie Xida to eat pork head noodles at home:
After a while, the piano boy came to put the table. The painting boy took four small dishes in a square box, three plates of garlic juice, a large bowl of pork head brine, a silver spoon, and three pairs of teeth. The placement stopped, and the three of them sat down. Then bring three bowls of noodles, each of whom pours his own brine and pours sour vinegar. Count Naying and Xie Xida picked up the spoon and only swallowed three times and two swallows, which was a bowl. The two men smashed seven bowls when they boarded. Ximen Qing could not eat two bowls.
Its taste is just as Count Ying said: "Today's noodles are delicious and refreshing." This pork head noodle is a kind of "sauce noodles", which is popular in the north. The noodles are first cooked, placed in a bowl without soup, and then poured with different sauces, sauces, brines and ingredients, and mixed and eaten.
Eel noodles appear in the forty-ninth time. It was Li Zhen'er's birthday party that day, and after serving a few dishes, "two more things were added to the table: a plate of riding intestines, a plate of pickled goose necks, and two more beautiful things... A plate of leprosy grapes, a plate of red plums. Behind, another large bowl of eel noodles, together with the vegetable rolls, was brought together. ”
The practice of eel noodles is also somewhat different from today, according to research, the eels at that time were cut into eel shreds, while today's eel segments. Eel silk is obviously to be more flavorful, but nowadays pay attention to the speed of eating, but ignore these small details, really should not.
Interestingly, Ximen Qing's two banquet menus do not meet the appearance of noodles, and noodles at this time are not uncommon, but they are just one of the ordinary diets, and it is difficult to show their identity.
