Barbecue, also known as barbecue in later generations, can be regarded as the earliest cooked dish. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When human beings first learned to use fire and roasted food to eat by roasting it, it not only ended the primitive habit of drinking blood, but also because the protein in cooked meat was more easily absorbed and utilized by humans, which promoted the evolution of the human brain, and to a large extent, it can be said that the development of human civilization was accelerated.

The cattle in Yang's Zhuangzi are ploughing cattle, and this one does not dare to kill and eat meat, and Yang Huairen does not want to be beaten yet. But Zhuangzi is not like the city where there is mutton venison to choose from, Yang Huairen can only barbecue the most ordinary pork.

From ancient times to the present, the method of grilling meat is very simple, set up a rack and put the meat on top to roast, or cut the meat into pieces, use bamboo or wooden skewers to make meat skewers and then grill, according to the taste, add some salt and spices.

However, because Yang Huairen has chili noodles, today's barbecue can be said to be very close to the taste of skewers in later generations.

Five or six pounds of half-fat pork skewers are grilled, put into a big dustpan and served on the table, the newly cooked Suiyuan Spring is full of wine glasses, accompanied by the autumn rain outside the door, this BBQ can be described as full of petty bourgeoisie.

Among the five people present, Zhao Xu is the youngest, but when it comes to status, he respects Zhao Xu, so everyone is waiting for him to eat the first bite first.

Zhao Xu looked at the pork skewers that were still sizzling in the dustpan, exuding an attractive aroma, and seemed to hesitate, Su Gui, who was standing behind him, came over and wanted to try it for Zhao Xu first, but when he saw the pork skewers on the table clearly, his already very gloomy face turned gray and black, and he was very dissatisfied with Yang Huairen.

"Yang Daguan, you are also a scholar, don't you know that the official family can't eat pork?

The sage has a cloud, 'a gentleman does not eat dolphins', don't you understand this simple truth? ”

Yang Huairen was surprised, since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, he had indeed heard of some strange habits of some literati and officials, such as not eating pork.

The main types of meat sold in the market are pork, mutton, chicken and duck, and other beef, venison and rabbit are also available, but the quantity is not large.

In terms of price, beef is the most expensive because it is produced by cattle purchased by merchants from the northern grasslands, followed by mutton, and pork is the cheapest.

For ordinary people, most of them can only afford to eat pork, so the captive and sales volume of pork is also the largest.

In fact, for the emperor, this artificial restriction on his eating habits belonged to the moral kidnapping of those Confucians who followed the rites of saints in the court.

The original sentence in "The Book of Rites: Shaoyi" is "The gentleman does not eat the belly", and the interpretation of this sentence in the "Shuowen Jie Zi" is "The gentleman does not eat the belly, and the Zhuyun Zhou Liwei is a rice eater who is a dog and a pig, and the belly is like a human filth......"

It means that the eating habits of pigs and dogs are omnivorous, similar to people, and a gentleman should have a heart of benevolence for his own kind and not eat them, and later the meaning of this sentence gradually evolved into an idea, indicating that a gentleman should be alone, not complicit in dirty people or things, and has little to do with whether or not to eat pork.

However, some great Confucians in the Tang and Song dynasties had a new personal view on this sentence, and changed the sentence "gentlemen do not eat porpoise" to "gentlemen do not eat porpoise".

Paranoid people think that this is what the sage said that the scholar should be a reasonable person, and should be upright and clean, and the pig should eat all the dirty things, and the "dolphin herder" feeds the pigs with some dirty things such as swill, so pork is also dirty and should not be eaten.

Of course, there were many great Confucian literati in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they also had different understandings of the words of the sages, such as the Luo school represented by Ercheng is the largest branch, and there are also different schools represented by Wang Anshi and the Shu school represented by Su Shi.

The Luo faction insisted on the view that literati did not eat pork, while the Shu faction did not think so. In the early years of Yuanyou, Prime Minister Sima Guang died, and because of the question of whether meat could be eaten on the day of the funeral, there was a big debate between the Luo faction and the Shu faction.

At present, Cheng Yi, the leader of the Luo faction in the court, is a scholar, and several other prime ministers and high-ranking officials are also from the Luo faction, plus the protégés of the Luo faction are all over the world, so their views have been widely promoted among scholars, and they will naturally affect the official family, so it is not surprising that Zhao Xu has never eaten pork since he was a child.

This kind of problem is actually not a very important thing, but from another angle, it alludes to the stubbornness and old-fashionedness of the thinking of those big people in the court, and the conservative faction not only kidnapped the emperor morally, but also kidnapped the thoughts and habits of the entire Great Song Dynasty scholars.

Since it has influenced the emperor not to eat pork, it is not surprising that the nobles and relatives of the Great Song Dynasty were also kidnapped by conservatives.

In fact, pigs, as the first of the three animals, from the pre-Qin to the pre-Tang dynasty, were the main source of meat intake for ancient Chinese people. A large number of ancient classics record the fact that the ancients raised pigs in captivity and ate pork.

In the record of the living and eating habits of the royal family and princes and nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, a large number of pork appeared in the "Daya";

In "Xunzi" and "Mencius", there are also people who eat pork regardless of whether they are high or low;

In the Northern Wei Dynasty agricultural masterpiece "Qi Min Yaoshu", the breeding and eating methods of pigs are recorded in detail;

In the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, there is also a record that in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court set up officials to raise pigs in pens, and pork was used as a reward for officials during the New Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the rise of science and science restricted the literati and royal nobles from eating pork ideologically, which seems to be a bit pedantic and stubborn.

Yang Huairen felt that Zhao Xu was not ordinary and pitiful, not only had he never seen a pig run, but he had never even eaten pork, this emperor should be restricted everywhere, which can be described as a wreck.

"I don't understand the truth, I know such a delicious thing, it's a pity not to eat it, as for Brother Xu...... Do you like to eat or not, buddy, just don't be hungry when you eat it. ”

After that, Yang Huairen grabbed a string of pork skewers with both hands, took a bite of the meat skewers on his right hand, and then took a bite of the meat skewers on his left hand, lowered his head to suck the wine in the cup, and deliberately muttered while chirping, "Well, ah, delicious!" ”

You Shixiong and Li Heiniu are rough people who practice martial arts, they don't care about this, seeing that Yang Huairen is eating with a mouth full of oil, he is already drooling, and he also learned to grab the pork skewers in front of him and chew them.

Zhao Hao glanced at his eldest nephew, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and seemed to say, "This time you have to decide for yourself, Uncle Huang can't help you, I won't eat it again, such a delicious thing has been eaten up by those three foodies", and then grabbed a skewer of meat and ate it very enjoyably.

Zhao Xu was a little hesitant, looked back at Su Gui behind him, and then looked back at the guards outside the door, for fear that this matter would reach the ears of those scholars by them, and they would have to talk to him endlessly in the future.

Yang Huairen shook his head, grabbed a handful of meat skewers, and stuffed a few skewers into each of the guards and Su Gui outside the door, "Let's eat good things together, come and come, taste them." ”

Yang Huairen's words didn't seem to work very well, and Su Gui grew his mouth in horror, and his eyes almost popped out.

Yang Huairen seized the opportunity and suddenly sent the meat skewer in Su Gui's hand to his mouth, and then said loudly: "You taste, this is a special mutton, and the taste is not the same as ordinary mutton."

Since Gonggong Su has tried it for the official family, then there is no problem. ”

After speaking, regardless of Su Gui's mouth smeared with chili noodles, he was spicy and licked his tongue and licked his lips, Yang Huairen picked up a string of meat skewers and stuffed them into Zhao Xu's hands, and said to him awe-inspiringly: "Eat with confidence, who went back to the palace and chewed her tongue and said that what she ate today was not mutton, and next time I cut his mouth and roasted it to eat!" ”

Zhao Xu didn't know why, he felt that Yang Huairen's words seemed to be very reasonable, so he nodded subconsciously.

Finally, even intimidation and fooling, let Zhao Xu eat pork for the first time in his life, Yang Huairen felt that he was selling pork on the head of a sheep, and it was a very cost-effective deal.

It is said that between men and men, the relationship between men can be good enough to be brothers, it is nothing more than "opening a file together, passing through the window together, carrying a gun together, and scooping through Chang together." ”

Today, Yang Huairen ate pork with the little emperor, and he can be regarded as a sworn friend who got on the same boat as him.
