In fact, you have been a restaurant for more than 100 years, "fish and sheep for fresh" is really not a pot of fish and lamb stew!
Lamb crucian carp angelica soup
The opening paragraph first asks you a question, how many people think that fish and lamb are "fresh" when burned together? Please raise your hand.
Full Table man is a classic case of hype
So if I tell you now that this is actually a deliberately misleading, beautiful promotional promotion in the restaurant industry more than a hundred years ago, will you believe it? In fact, not only is the fish and sheep fresh is misleading, even the Manchu Han full seat is also deliberately publicized by the merchants, the Qing Emperor's meal does not have the Manchu Han full seat, do you still want to believe it?
Xuzhou famous dish sheep square Tibetan fish
Really, that's the truth. Don't look at any famous dishes such as fish and yokan soup, sheep fish pouch, sheep square tibetan fish. But to be honest, this only represents the local taste, not the original origin of the fish and sheep. So when my colleagues debated this topic for me today, I found that many people have been brainwashed.
Fish and sheep are fresh, this allusion first came from the Qing Dynasty Yuan Ming, a scholar who loves to eat sheep. It is said that on one occasion he entertained him in his own home. On the table were several large bowls of lamb dishes such as white cut lamb, braised lamb, mutton vermicelli soup, wax leg of lamb, etc. However, some guests may feel that the lamb is fishy and refuse to move the chopsticks.
Yuan Ming felt that the scene was a little cold, so he said: "The taste of lamb is incomparably beautiful, why don't you all refuse to eat it?" When the ancient artificial characters were said, the fish and sheep are very fresh, the beautiful characters are from the sheep, the fresh characters are from the sheep, the soup characters are from the sheep, and the auspicious and auspicious characters are also from the sheep. You see, all the tastes of the mountains and the sea are not as delicious as the mutton." The guests laughed and a few plates of lamb were swept away.
This is the earliest statement that fish and sheep can be found now. But in fact, Yuan Ming said it in a ridiculous tone at that time, which was nothing more than to persuade everyone to eat more mutton. Because he can't have not read "Shuowen Jiezi", he will not know what the word "fresh" means:
Fish name, out of the country. From the fish, save the sound.
Meaning: fresh, the name of a fish. It is produced in the country of Raccoon. Take the head of the fish side, and save the two sheep to make a sound. So, in Old Chinese, Xianye does not read xian, but siuan. Read it, is it particularly awkward.
Peng zu lou in Xuzhou
But in modern times, and not knowing whether they were misled by Yuan Ming, the chefs in Xuzhou began to invent a legend: according to legend, Peng Zu did not look after the stove one day, and the crucian carp steamed on the upper layer of the pot fell into the mutton soup on the lower layer, and when it was found, the lamb was already stewed to a crisp. Eight-hundred-year-old Grandpa Peng tasted it and thought it tasted very good, so he had fish and sheep for freshness.
But in fact, it only represents the local taste of Xuzhou. For example, when I ate this dish locally, I didn't think it was any good. Lamb is a kind of red meat with a strong character, and fish meat will always have a more or less fishy taste. Therefore, the two of them do not get along well, but will destroy the original taste brought by each other. This is not a pair of excellent cp, that is, it can barely be eaten, and it is not brilliant at all.
Therefore, it is more of a local taste memory, such as Guizhou's sheep soup, the local people eat happily, and the outsiders hide their faces and flee. The fish noodle soup in Dongtai, the locals are so happy, I ate the first bite of a strong fishy taste, can not swallow the second bite. The same is true for fish and sheep, the umami taste of the lamb itself is very heavy, and the umami taste of the fish is more obvious. Previous chefs thought that adding fresh to fresh, good to good, should be a good dish.
Lamb is best cooked separately, even if it has to be cooked with other meat dishes, you must choose white meat without personality. For example, we can use rabbit meat. Rabbit meat is the taste of whoever burns it, has no personality, and should be the best choice to accompany lamb. Moreover, the simmering time of rabbits and young sheep is basically the same, and they can be put into the firing together, which is also convenient.
Speaking of this, some friends may say: No matter how much you say, fish and sheep is a fresh word. It's quite possible that the meaning of the earliest words changed, you say?
At the end of this article, I will talk about the true meaning of fish and sheep as fresh.
There are few fish in the northwest and sheep in the southeast, so they are combined
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Lanzhi's "Collection of Lazy Essays" once had a sentence:
"There are more fish in the southeast and less sheep, and fewer fish and more sheep in the northwest." They all think that the things in their land are the most important. Therefore, take fish and sheep and combine to make it fresh. ”
Similarly, there is the Guangdong Xinyu:
There are few sheep and more fish in the southeast, the people of the border sea have those who do not know the taste of sheep, and the northwest has more sheep and less fish, and so does its people. The two are few and have both, so the word "fresh" is fish and sheep.
At this point, the truth has come out, and our so-called fish and sheep are not to burn them together. It is precisely because it is rare everywhere that the two are combined.
