The road was very smooth, those people in blue did not come, even so, we still did not dare to slack off, riding horses and whips, fast horses, and soon arrived in Hubei, originally we also wanted to make persistent efforts, continue to rush to the Yellow Crane Tower, but Hu Jiaojiao complained and said: "Oh, after riding the horse for so long, I am tired and hungry, and this horse stops and keeps hurrying, and it is also very fortunate, so I suggest that we still get off the horse to find something to eat." Quicksand also said with a sad face: "Yes, I am also so hungry that I will die." Everyone also felt a little hungry and weak, so they stopped in front of a small shop, we were about to go inside, Wang Gongzi saw that the store was a little simple, and said with a little hesitation: "Do you want to choose a better store?" As the saying goes, you don't choose to eat when you're hungry, and anything you eat when you're hungry is delicious. Xiao Fei also nodded and said, "Indeed, I have a deep understanding that everything you eat when you are hungry is fragrant." So the minority obeyed the principle of the majority, and everyone strode in.

Xiao Fei whispered to me as he walked inside: "That's true, this is just like the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's pearl jade white jade soup." This is a soup made with cabbage seeds, spinach leaves (jade), rancid tofu (white jade) and leftover pot rice grains (pearls). According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was poor when he was young, and he never had a full stomach, and when he was 17 years old, he was homeless because his parents died of the plague, and he was forced to become a monk in his hometown Huangjue Temple, in order to have something to eat. However, soon there was a famine in his hometown, and the incense in the temple was cold, so he had to go out to make a fortune. During this period, he experienced the vicissitudes of the world, and often couldn't get a bite to eat all day. Once, he didn't get anything for three days, he was hungry and dizzy, fainted on the street, and then rescued an old woman passing by and took it home, put the only piece of tofu and a handful of spinach, red roots and green leaves together, poured a bowl of leftover rice and boiled it, and gave it to Zhu Yuanzhang to eat. After Zhu Yuanzhang ate, his spirits were greatly lifted and he asked the old woman what she had just eaten, and the old woman was bitter and happy, joking that it was called pearl jade white jade soup. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang defected to the Red Turban Army, became the emperor, and tasted all the delicious delicacies in the world. Suddenly, one day he was sick and couldn't eat anything, so he remembered the pearl jade and white jade soup he had eaten when he was begging in his hometown, and immediately ordered the imperial chef to make it for him. The chef had no choice but to use pearls, jade and white jade together, boiled into soup and offered, Zhu Yuanzhang tasted it, felt that it was not right at all, and asked someone to find a chef from his hometown to do it. The chef was very smart, and he thought to himself: Since the emperor is not interested in the real pearl jade and white jade soup, I might as well try my luck with an imitation. Therefore, he used fish dragons instead of pearls, red bell peppers cut strips instead of Fei (Fei is red jade), spinach instead of emerald (emerald is green jade), tofu stuffing instead of white jade, and poured fish bone broth. After offering this dish, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it tasted very good, the same as what the old woman gave him back then, so he ordered the chef to be rewarded. After the chef got the reward, he went home sick, and passed on this dish that Emperor Zhu liked to Fengyang's father. Xiao Fei went on to say: "By the way, do you know that when you feel very hungry, it seems that even the food you don't like to eat will feel particularly delicious. And when you are celebrating the New Year, you will eat more fish and meat, but the more you eat, the more full you are, the less appetite you have, in fact, there is a scientific basis behind this. Do you know why?

I shook my head to indicate that I didn't know, and Xiao Fei continued to say: "Chinese scientists have uncovered the tip of the iceberg of the mystery of eating for us by reproducing the foraging behavior of fruit flies in the laboratory.

The paper has been published in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). Through a series of methods, scientists have found a neurotransmitter - cockamine, a molecule that is structurally extremely similar to the body's norepinephrine.

"Without cockroaches, hungry flies do not forage for food, and even though they are functionally intact and normal, with no motor impairments, the only difference is that they do not increase their mobility when they are hungry and do not forage for food. Yu Yue, one of the co-first authors, said. Interestingly, fruit flies, like humans, behave relatively rationally when they have a full stomach, while hungry flies behave when they are hungry. What's more interesting is that the research group also showed the richer connotation behind foraging and eating. Hunger is often perceived as being detected through a single nerve center and triggering a range of emotions and behaviors. But studies have shown that, at least in fruit flies, when the brain feels hungry, triggering foraging and feeding may be two completely separate systems, Wang said. The absence of cockroachamine blocked the foraging behavior of fruit flies, but did not prevent its feeding behavior. It's like two nerve pumps, one is destroyed and the other is still functioning.

We were about to continue, only to listen to the shop's Xiao Eryang sprinkled talk, so we listened attentively: "Our Hubei snacks are composed of Wuhan snacks, Jingsha snacks, Xiangyang snacks, Enshi ethnic snacks, etc., which are widely taken and have various techniques, which can meet the tastes of different people and meet the needs of people in the north and south.
