Chapter 821: Why aren't dumplings popular?

"It's New Year!"

"Haha, Happy New Year, everyone!"

It was February, and there was a war outside, but Feng Feifei was happy here. One by one, they drank and drank, danced, and hid, although they were all puzzled, what kind of holiday is this? Halloween has long passed, and Christmas has passed. In the past few days, they have been celebrating, and they are very confused, what is this 'Spring Festival'?

However, since this is organized by the Holy Lord, even if you don't know about it, you have to pass it. What's more, the members of the Holy Maiden Sect are usually scattered everywhere, and it is difficult to get together.

"Hey, do you know what this thing is?"

"I don't know!"

"According to the Holy Lord, this is called 'dumplings', and it is the food of the Holy Lord's hometown."

"The Lord's hometown? Isn't that the divine realm? Is God also going to eat? ”

"Presumably, don't eat...... What are those offerings for? ”

"Oh!"

Bishop Feng's injuries had already healed, and when he came over, one of them knocked on it, and said with a paper painted with dumplings: "Look at what you guys look like, remember, it's this shape!" ”

"Well, Bishop, this is our first time."

The two looked at the dumplings in their hands, one by one like round balls, and they smiled bitterly.

"Hey, forget it, I'll show you how." Feng wrapped the two dumplings very fluently, and said very satisfied, "Do you see clearly, just wrap it like this." Stir up the spirits one by one, don't spoil the mood of the Holy Lord. ”

"Wow, the Bishop is just amazing."

"We'll wrap it up."

At this time, there were no dumplings in the West.

Dumplings, also known as dumplings, formerly known as 'Jiao'er', are the traditional noodles of the ancient Han people, which have a history of more than 1,800 years. Dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in Nanyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty of the Celestial Dynasty, and went through a long process until the Tang Dynasty was completely finalized, and there is not much difference from today's ones.

The food in the shape of dumplings seems to have been found in the monuments of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Celestial Dynasty and the Warring States Period, and there have been similar foods in various dynasties since then, called wontons, prison pills, etc., but there is not much record in the documents of the Celestial Empire. Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, dumplings were not an ordinary daily food.

In the past, the Ni Bang people imitated the ancient Celestial Empire for all foods, but there was no food similar to dumplings, and dumplings only came to Ni Bang in the 18th century.

The first appearance of the word 'dumpling' was in the book "Zhengzitong" at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The current dumplings of this shape only began to spread in the Celestial Empire after the Qing Dynasty, and the Manchus who established the Qing Dynasty seem to have a special preference for eating dumplings. The nomadic peoples of the northeastern part of the Celestial Empire, Central Asia, and Russia have long eaten the dish of flour and skin wrapped in meat as a daily meal.

The Manchus ruled the entire Celestial Empire in the 17th century, and after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, dumplings also spread rapidly among ordinary families in the Celestial Empire, centered in the north.

And the dumplings really spread to the world, it is indeed the Yuan Dynasty.

Dumplings were introduced to Mongolia during the Song Dynasty. The dumplings were spread to Mongolia, and they were soon influenced by the unrestrained character of the Mongolian compatriots. Dumplings are pronounced similar to 'plaque food' in Mongolian. The style of dumplings has also changed from the original small filling and thin skin to a large filling and thick skin. With the conquest of the Mongol Empire, flat food also spread to all parts of the world, and many variants such as Russian dumplings, Kazakh dumplings, and Korean dumplings appeared.

However, because of the death of Genghis Khan, Europe did not spread in time.

The dumplings in the European perception are another kind of Italian dumplings that appeared in the same period as the mud bomb.

The filling of Italian dumplings is very different from that of the Celestial Empire, with cheese, onions, and egg yolks as the main ingredients, and sometimes some spinach and beef are added. The way they make dumplings is to press the noodles into long strips, put the filling spoonful by spoon, dip the edges of the noodles in water, and then press them together with the same piece of dough, and then use a knife to open them all together.

As for the method of cooking dumplings, there is not much difference.

Mu Feng looked at the picture of making dumplings in a hurry, and smiled bitterly in his heart, Feng Feifei had her own fun. However, Mu Feng did not stop it. It's been more than three months since I came to this foreign land, and Yu Pei's connection is clearer, but it's still useless. I don't know when I will be able to return to my familiar 'hometown'!

And now, converting, the current Celestial Empire should be the Ming Xuanzong period, and I don't know what the 'Spring Festival' looks like there at this time, and are you also eating dumplings?

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Bang's "Miscellaneous Records of the Wan Department" recorded: "New Year's Day greetings, as a plaque food".

Liu Ruoyu's "Chronicles of the Middle" contains: "On the first day of the new year, eat fruit snacks, that is, plaque food. ”

It can be seen that in the northern region of the Ming Dynasty, the eating of flat food for the New Year has replaced the original food such as dumplings and rice cakes for the New Year. That being said, it would be a hundred and fifty years away.

Mu Feng suddenly felt a feeling of 'thinking about his relatives every festival', although until now, he didn't know where his relatives were. But he misses his woman very much, and I don't know, has it been there for more than three months?

"What are you thinking?" Feng Feifei suddenly came up and asked curiously.

Mu Feng glanced at her, then looked at the demon rabbit lady who was holding a large barrel of wine not far away, and said shamefully: "I was thinking, Hestia was still very afraid of you just now, why did you two get acquainted in a blink of an eye, and there was no trace of fear on her face?" By the way, is there any magic power in you? ”

"Cut, don't lie to me!" Feng Feifei moved his buttocks and found a comfortable position, "Actually, when I first met her, I also had a kind of boredom in my heart. Not very strongly, though. I always felt that maybe I had seen her before. It may seem like a bit of a contradictory tone, but for some reason, I still have some familiarity with my old acquaintances in a foreign country. ”

"Hey, that's it!" Mu Feng took a sip of beer and sighed helplessly.

"Hey!" Feng Feifei stabbed Mu Feng and asked, "You don't lie to me, say, what were you thinking just now?" ”

"I'm thinking?" Mu Feng turned his head to look at a group of Holy Maiden Sect members who were making dumplings, "You passed on the dumplings, why are they not popular in the West in later generations?" ”

"Oh?" Feng Feifei's eyes blinked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I mean, time is a mystery. Is the world we live in now really on the same timeline as the afterlife? Or is it a parallel space that often appears in TV, movies, and novels? ”

“……!”

Feng Feifei understood a little, and there was some fear in her eyes. It's fine if it's a timeline, and if you can come, you'll definitely go back, but if it's a parallel space, it's not necessarily true. Even if one day, they have cultivated enough, then I don't know what year or month it will be.

"Forget it, I don't want to, I'm curious how you recognized me at a glance."
