When you think of the Song Dynasty, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Professor Ke's first thought was exquisite porcelain. The aesthetics of an era are often closely linked to the life of the time.
So did the daily life of the Song Dynasty also carry exquisite elegance? Let's start with food.
No more eating just two meals!
Before the Tang and Song dynasties, people generally ate only two meals a day in the morning and afternoon, and in the Song Dynasty, three meals a day began to be popularized. Of course, this is just an ordinary people's home, if it is the emperor, then four meals and five meals are possible.
Because it was an era of commodity economy, cultural education, and scientific innovation, people were no longer only pursuing full stomachs, but were willing to spend more money to taste fresher and more delicious dishes.
Wu Zimu's "Record of Mengliang" records:
"Where the diet is precious, the new meal, the strange and fine vegetables, the taste is not lacking."
"The price increase is not worth more, but it is a new ear."
Cook in a different way
How much can the people of the Song Dynasty eat? There are 13 ways to cook dishes alone: cooking, burning, roasting, stir-frying, frying, slipping, boiling, stewing, pickling, brine, steaming, waxing, honey.
Many of our current cooking methods were matured in the Song Dynasty, and the seasonings are not much different from the condiments in our kitchens today.
And the Song Dynasty people will eat, but the whole world knows the "big thing"! The American "Life Magazine" once selected a hundred major events that have affected human life most profoundly in a thousand years, and Song Dynasty dishes and snacks are among them.
In addition to the famous Dongpo meat, there are many famous dishes in the Song Dynasty, and Professor Ke today will tell you a big supplementary dish: zhǎ.
The dream is: eat the green grassland!
This spiral, which literally looks like it is made of fish, is actually made of lamb.
The Song Dynasty was expensive for mutton, the Song people loved to eat mutton too much, the Northern Song Court ancestral system: the imperial kitchen can only use mutton, during this period, the court invented many sheep cooking methods.
This dish has been around since the time of Song Taizu. In the "Discussion on the Tiewei Mountain", it is recorded that Qian Li, the king of Wuyue, began to come to the dynasty. When he arrived, Taizu said to the high official: "King Qian, the people of Zhejiang also ... It is advisable to create a southern food one or two to swallow the grasshopper. "So the great official was ordered to take the sheep as a sash overnight, and to offer it to him, because of the trumpet."
Originally, the spin was created by Song Taizu to entertain Qian Li, the king of Wuyue from the south. Hǎi (醢, meaning meat sauce), roughly guessed that this dish was marinated lamb and chopped into a meat sauce.
Compared with the popular kebabs and shabu lamb, the cooking of this "spin" is indeed more complicated. Coupled with the Song Dynasty snacks we introduced yesterday, you can get a glimpse of life at that time.
