This was not what Hong Tao guessed, but what Luo Youde told him, he originally wanted to invite Luo Youde to taste his own brushed mutton, but it could only be changed to shabu seafood.

Someone may be about to say, you're not right! In the Song Dynasty, it was strictly forbidden to slaughter ploughing cattle and smuggle cattle to plough cattle. That's right, the Song Dynasty had this regulation, but the regulation is a regulation, and whether it can actually be effective depends on two words. According to the records of the "Manuscript of the Song Society" and the "Collection of Imperial Decrees of the Song Dynasty", during the 300 years of the two Song Dynasty, the emperor issued a total of more than 50 holy decrees prohibiting the slaughter of cultivated cattle by the people. Using our logical analysis, if this decree really works, one is enough, why bother to get more than fifty of them? On average, it takes five or six years to get one, and the content is still the same. It can be seen from this that the Song Dynasty has never been successful in eating beef from beginning to end, and it is not that someone else eats it secretly, but on a large scale, and even bothered the emperor to personally inquire.

In addition, you can go and see "Water Margin", which has written more than once about eating beef, not only eating in the mountains, but still eating in restaurants in the city, or blatantly ordering food. In the thirty-eighth episode, Songjiang, Dai Zong, and Li Kui went to drink in the pipa building in Jiangzhou, but Li Kui wanted to eat meat, and the shopkeeper looked down on him, so he told him that we only sell mutton here, not beef.

Why is Li Kui in a hurry? Because the shopkeeper was turning around and scolding him for being an inferior person. Beef is cheap and is generally eaten by ordinary people, while mutton is expensive and is generally eaten by the rich. This is the same reason that a common man dressed in ordinary clothes entered a high-end restaurant, and when he ordered, he was embarrassed by the waiter's price. Let's not talk about whether the service attitude of this pipa building is correct or not, it can be seen that beef was rotten in the Song Dynasty, and mutton is the high-end food coaxed by Niu X.

According to the habits of the Great Song Dynasty, the winter solstice is the most important festival of the year, and the Spring Festival is not very important. The day of the winter solstice is the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere, and the Song people have the habit of celebrating the arrival of winter. Every day, the whole country is on holiday, from the emperor to the person who asks for food, they all put on new clothes to worship the ancestors first, and then rub a meal, you can play to your heart's content after the meal, and you don't have to be afraid of the police knocking on the door no matter how big the gambling is, because the emperor is gracious, and the holy decree declares that these three days will be gambled casually.

Chinese festivals, whether ancient or modern, generally a festival corresponds to a food. Moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings for the Spring Festival...... The Song people celebrated the festival in the same way, and each festival had food corresponding to each festival, but the type of food was slightly different from that of later generations. The Song people don't eat dumplings during the Spring Festival, they eat a piece of soup, they don't call it a piece of soup, they call it a dumpling.

Evidence of this custom can be found in a poem by Lu You, in the second part of the "Year of the First Book of Things", there are two sentences describing the Spring Festival in the Song Dynasty: "The mid-evening sacrifice is full of gluttony, and the dawn people change Zhong Kui." "It means that after worshipping the ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, they will share the food, and get up on the morning of the new year, take down the old New Year paintings, and replace them with new ones. In the small note of this poem, Lu You specifically pointed out: "Soup cakes must be used every year, which is called winter wonton and New Year's dumpling." "The year is the first day of the new year, and the soup cake is the gluttony, which means that the people of the Great Song Dynasty not only eat a piece of soup on Chinese New Year's Eve, but also eat it on the first day of the new year!" Doesn't it mean that the Southern Song Dynasty is quite rich, why do you eat some soup during the Spring Festival? This is related to the Song people's holiday habits.

The winter solstice is in mid-November, and the Spring Festival is at the end of December, and the two festivals are too close to each other. For the common people of the Song Dynasty, the winter solstice was a special festival that had to be organized, and the family had to do it if they had no money to borrow. So, most ordinary people's savings have been almost consumed on the winter solstice, and they haven't eased up yet, and it's the Spring Festival again, so they can only make do with a piece of soup. This is just talking about ordinary people, if it is a wealthy family, eat well and wear new clothes on the winter solstice, it will be the same during the Spring Festival, there is no difference.

So what to eat on the winter solstice in the Song Dynasty? Didn't Lu You say it, winter wontons! The ravioli here is not a ravioli, but dumplings! The people of the Song Dynasty did not have the word dumplings, and they called dumplings wontons. The Song Dynasty also had real wontons, but they were not called wontons, but rather dou. The steamed dumplings of the Song Dynasty are the same as the modern wontons, they are not sealed, but they are very large, and like small buns, it is called wontons, it is more like siu mai. And the method of making dumplings is not to throw them into boiling water and cook them, but to roast them on a skewer on an iron chisel. This thing can also find a little shadow in later generations, put them on the pan and fry them in oil, isn't it fried buns or potstickers, if you put them on the drawer and steam, isn't it just roasted wheat.

Through the winter solstice, Hong Tao figured out the names of several foods in the Great Song Dynasty, dumplings = wontons, wontons = dumplings, noodle soup = dumplings, plus steamed buns are called cooking cakes, steamed buns are called steamed buns, noodles are called suo cakes, and baked cakes are called hu cakes...... Hong Tao felt that if he went to the restaurant again, he wouldn't have to let the shopkeeper show him the same, and he would be able to eat the right food in minutes.

Follow the customs, on the day of the winter solstice, Hong Tao also changed into his new clothes, a cotton and linen undyed casual wear! This is what he asked the tailor in Zhenzhou City to make, and he has never taken care of wearing it, and now he is just taking it out to show off. Not only clothes and pants, but also belts and leather shoes, which means that there is no dressing mirror, Hong Tao can't see the effect. He is now in this way, with a civilized stick in his hand, and he looks like a gangster on the beach during the Republic of China. But the people of the Song Dynasty have never seen what the Republic of China is like, let alone Shanghai Tang, although they think that Hong Tao's dress is a little weird, but they don't go to their hearts, at most they think that Hong Tao's hometown clothes are like this.

Hong Taoguang didn't feel that it was enough to put it on himself, and instigated Bozhu to also wear a set of clothes of the same style, and there was no cloth belt around his waist, but he was replaced with a whale skin carved leather belt, and there was a leather purse with buttons on it, which was specially used for copper plates. I also wore the same leather sandals as Hong Tao on my feet, and I didn't dare to settle down when I walked, and I felt a little smooth. Growing so big, she probably hasn't stepped on any kind of shoes other than straw sandals.

"Humph! Insult the ancestors! For his heartless daughter and this son-in-law who is full of heart, the old man Bofu is still not used to it, and he says if he doesn't like it. Especially when he saw that the two of them dared to step on leather shoes under their feet, they didn't get angry. He also knows that he can't control Hong Tao now, but he still has to say it, and he likes to listen to it or not.

In fact, this dress is to cover, keep out the cold, and facilitate work, and then it is beautiful and ugly. Here on Hainan Island, there is no need to think about keeping out the cold, it is a single dress all year round, and convenient work is the only need. The original Tanjia cropped pants did not have a waistband, and they had to be tied around the waist with cloth straps, which was very hot and uncomfortable. With Hong Tao's pants with a belt belt, the younger Tanjiazi began to accept it slowly, and secretly went to ask Hong Tao for a pair to wear, and would rather go home and be beaten and scolded by Grandpa. As long as it is said that Hong Tao let him wear it, the old people in the family will endure it, there is no way, who makes the family have great ability.

Slowly, another young man from the Tan family put on leather sandals, as long as there was one, there would be a second one immediately, and then it couldn't be stopped. When Chen Mingen was also said by Hong Tao, hugged his feet and put on a pair of leather sandals, those old people also began to accept this new thing. I tried to put it on and walk a few steps, and sure enough, walking in leather sandals on a gravel dirt road was more comfortable than walking barefoot.

Carl was even more radical than Hong Tao, he didn't even wear long pants, and directly put on the big shorts that Hong Tao planned to wear in summer, revealing the yellow hair on one leg. The men of the Tan family were already accustomed to his existence as a Great Qin person, but as soon as the women of the Tan family saw him approaching, they still couldn't help but avoid it. This made Carl very distressed, he felt that he was already very polite and gentlemanly, why did he not get the respect of the lady.

"You straighten your tongue first, don't speak with a grunt, one word is one word, don't connect together. I have given you a task, after the New Year, you go to school every afternoon, teach the children Latin for half an hour, and by the way, strengthen your Chinese. When you become a teacher for your children, their parents will respect you and no longer avoid you. In addition, let me ask you a question, do you want to find a woman when you keep going to those big girls and little daughters-in-law? If you really think about it, you'd better tell me directly, the women of the Great Song Dynasty are not like your country, they don't like to express any love directly, they like to be tactful, and even have to be conveyed through a third party, understand? Hong Tao is very dissatisfied with Carl's progress in learning Chinese, this guy is used to speaking Latin, and reading Chinese is also Latin pronunciation, string after string, ordinary people really can't understand. As for whether he wants to find a woman in the Great Song Dynasty, Hong Tao is not restricted, but he should be reminded not to make big mistakes because of different living habits.

"No, no, no, I have a beloved wife and children in my hometown......" Carl flatly denied.

"It's hard to say, you're all dead, will your territory and manor be taken over by your cousin? By the way, I received it with your wife. Even if she fell in love with someone else, she was not morally indebted, because legally she was a widow! "Hong Tao's mouth is very, very vicious, what others don't like to hear, he just says something, and then looks at you angry, he is happy.

"My wife won't ......!" Carl has actually been said by Hong Tao to pull out the cold in his heart, but he just relies on instinct to resist.

"Well, even if your wife doesn't! Now let's get down to business, do you have a crossbow in your Holy Roman Empire? Hong Tao put his mouth close to Carl and asked in a low voice.

"Crossbow! That's what only lowly peasants use, and they're blasphemy against knights! Carl's eyes widened when he heard Hong Tao say the word crossbow, as if it was an insult to him.
