Chapter 211: The Origin of Sour and Hot Potato Shreds
Drinking coffee?
Li Qingming was stunned and subconsciously answered.
"Don't you have a lot to do today? or another day, and drink on the UFO tomorrow. Li Qingming said instinctively.
Poof! Qin Lan, the maid on the side, directly squirted out a sip of tea, and looked at Li Qingming with a strange expression, her mouth opened wide, as if she had seen an alien.
Qin Heluo's face turned from red to snow-white in an instant, and after glancing at Li Qingming fiercely, he sat back at his desk.
"Lan Lan, send off!" Qin Heluo said coldly.
Uh! What is the situation, no matter how you say it, you will turn your face. Li Qingming pouted, but people are not too stupid, and they immediately understood what was going on. I seem to have subconsciously done something very stupid. But at this moment, if you ask again, it will obviously only be closed.
So, let's do it next time.
"Mr. Qin, see you tomorrow!" Li Qingming said hello, and when he saw that Qin Heluo ignored it, he hurriedly flashed people.
Hmph! Qin Heluo couldn't help but snort when he left.
"What a fool! This Mr. Li is such a fool. This has to let that Li Shao know, I'm afraid I really want to strangle him!" Qin Lan stuck out her tongue on the side and buried it.
"Talky!" Qin Heluo glared at Qin Lan.
Qin Lan stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say more. At this moment, my own lady is angry. But can you not be angry! My own lady, this has never dated a boy, I don't know how many noble sons have asked their own miss, and their own young lady has never gone out. But as a result, on this first date, I still took the initiative to ask a man, and as a result, I actually said: Don't you still have something to do!
Oh my God! What an idiot can say such idiotic words! Qin Lan was speechless. This Mr. Li is really wonderful.
The whole room was filled with icy air, and it was indescribably cold.
"Ah, ow~~~~" Li Qingming sneezed several times in a row. Who made himself such an idiot!
Hey, but can I be blamed for this? I had been talking about business before, but who knew that a sentence suddenly popped up: go for coffee. In this case, my brain turned around.
However, this made Qin Heluo angry, which was not conducive to this trip to the mountain city. Although Qin Heluo should be the kind of person who distinguishes between public and private, but a woman is a woman, and this face is faster than turning a book. I have to think of a way to make it happy.
pickled girls, Li Qingming is not good at it. In addition to those veterans of the flower bush, most of the ordinary people brag about what they say about picking up girls and the like. The vast majority of people have a lot of theory and very little practical experience.
However, knowing that you have offended a woman, it is necessary to make her happy. As for how to coax Qin Heluo, is there anything better besides food? As for what kind of food, Li Qingming began to think.
Soon, a decision was made. At present, these new dishes, such as white chopped chicken and saliva chicken, are not delicious enough. Take it out, and it won't be satisfying either.
But there is one dish that can be done to the extreme. And all the ingredients are ready-made at the moment: sour and hot shredded potatoes.
Sour and hot shredded potatoes can be ordered in almost any restaurant in Chinese recipes, and they are also made and eaten by almost every household. This is an absolutely authentic Chinese delicacy.
Sour and hot shredded potatoes also belong to a kind of Sichuan cuisine, of course, there is also a Hunan cuisine. But later, when it spread all over the country, there were different practices in different places. Roughly speaking, there are thirteen practices. In terms of taste, it is basically slightly different, mainly sour and spicy.
As for the original origin of sour and hot potato shreds, it is difficult to study this. However, Li Qingming was bored and accidentally saw a biography in the library, which mentioned the origin of sour and hot potato shreds.
This sour and spicy shredded potato is just one ingredient, potatoes, that is, potatoes. The potato was introduced to China during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, that is, from 573 to 69. After it was first introduced to China, it was used as a staple food to solve the dilemma of food shortage.
In the second volume written by Jiang Yikui during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it is recorded that potatoes were planted in Beiping at that time. After that, the Ministry of Products compiled in the 21st year of Kangxi was the earliest chronicle of potatoes in China, and potatoes were widely planted in the Beijing-Tianjin area in the middle of the century.
But initially, it was all steamed. The person who really used it as a stir-fry dish and researched the sour and hot shredded potatoes was Li Qingyuan.
Speaking of Li Qingyuan, he can be said to be the longest-lived person in modern China. According to unconfirmed documents, in 933, the old birthday star passed away. And this year, the literature records that he has lived 256 years, and he is a real long-lived person. According to the literature, he has a total of 24 wives and 0 descendants, which can be said to be one of the extremely rare longevity stars in the world.
According to this document, his birth date should be 677-933, that is, from the early Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China. This period was just after the potato entered China.
As for Li Qingyuan, he is not only long-lived, but also has quite achievements in traditional Chinese medicine, mainly in terms of health preservation, and his achievements are extremely high. There are books that describe in detail some of the secrets of how to live a long life.
For example, he believes that human life span is long and short, and this is governed by vitality. Yuanqi, also known as Yuanqi, is endowed by the innate and nurtured by the glory of the acquired. He likened loving and not caring for vitality to the location of a candle. If the lit candle is placed in a cage, it will burn for a long time, and if it is left in the wind and rain, it will be short-lived or extinguished. The same is true for health regimens.
Li Qingyuan particularly emphasized that those who are good at health preservation must take kindness, frugality, harmony, and tranquility as the foundation. In this life, it is all like this. The reason why he is famous and recognized by the West is that after the age of 200, he went to the West many times to give lectures on the doctrine of longevity, which was sought after by Western scholars at that time.
As for why Li Qingming knew, he accidentally read a small essay in a book, which mentioned the source of sour and hot potato shreds. This Li Qingyuan has been a vegetarian all his life and is extremely light.
But this person is too light, so naturally he will always want to eat a little heavier. But the way of health is not allowed. What should I do! Li Qingyuan started with potatoes.
This potato was the staple food at that time, but the steamed food inevitably tasted too simple, and if you eat too much, you will naturally be greasy. Therefore, in its research, the results of Chinese medicine health preservation, and finally created the practice of sour and hot shredded potatoes. This was initially, just fried and eaten by yourself. But it can't stand its longevity, and there are many children and grandchildren. Naturally, it spread, and then spread quickly, gradually becoming popular all over the country.
Originally, the outside world also wanted to know who created this dish. But Li Qingyuan himself has a light temperament and doesn't like fame and fortune, otherwise he wouldn't live so long. Therefore, he never responds to inquiries from the outside world, and family members are not allowed to respond. Over time, people don't know who made this dish.
This is also written by one of his grandsons, when he recalled. As for the person who wrote this article, he is also more famous, named Li Shanlan, formerly known as Li Xinlan, the word Jingfang, the name Qiuxuan, and the alias Uncle Ren. He was a famous mathematician, astronomy, mechanics and botanist in modern China, who created the power series expansion of the quadratic square root, and studied the power series expansion of various trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions and logarithmic functions, which was the most significant achievement of Li Shanlan and the Chinese mathematical community in the 9th century.
On Li Qingyuan's 200th birthday, Li Shanlan wrote this book to celebrate her grandfather's 200th birthday. Of course, why the grandson is surnamed Li. It can only be said that it just so happened that Li Qingyuan's daughter married into a family surnamed Li after he turned 100, which is just a very normal coincidence. After all, there are 24 wives in his life, and there will inevitably be people with the same surname who marry 0 descendants.
Of course, as far as Li Qingming is concerned, whether the story in this book is true or not, there is no way to verify. At least Li Qingming has no way to verify. I used to be particularly obsessed with this story, after all, it is incredible that someone can live for more than two hundred years. After all, the verification of modern science that people can live for more than 20 years is already remarkable.
It's incredible to be in your 200s. How could this have lived so long. But I can't find it. Looking through the library, there are very few records about it, very little. Including what Li Qingyuan wrote, it is difficult to find. As for that, look it up through the web. This is basically impossible to find. Especially the so-called Baidu Encyclopedia, there is no such thing at all. All the little information about it was added by Li Qingming at that time because he felt that such a celebrity was so obscure.
China's 5,000-year-old splendid civilization has too many once glorious but unknown people. In this world, not everyone is fame and fortune. Many people have an indifferent personality and do not like to get ahead.
Li Qingming thought about it in his mind, and finally decided to use this plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes to make Qin Heluo happy. After all, this dish can definitely open people's stomach.
Moreover, this dish can also quickly become popular in the Federation. Of course, Li Qingming didn't want to announce it now. After all, there is no comparison in this chef competition, and your next meal will be sold first. Earn a wave first.
Of course, it's not just for yourself. It's even more for Liu Chang and them. They have invested so much money, and they can't make money because of their actions. In that case, Li Qingming will not be happy in his heart.
So, this dish, press first. Just to make Qin Heluo happy! Women, no matter what kind of woman, always want to be different!
