The line between the aristocracy of tofu Wang Zili / text
Throughout the Huai Yang lines, well documented, the most long history of traditional food, there should probably be the most aristocratic and most populace - the tofu.
Said the tofu first aristocratic, because it really does come from one door, was born in the royal and aristocratic homes. BC 164 years, the passage of the parent Liu labeled Huainan Wang, good Sendo, Liu Xi alchemy for the sake of immortality of the medicine, alchemy being invented tofu. In many ancient books, such as the Ming Dynasty, Li Shi Zhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica," odd leaf blade of "grass head child", Luo Qi's "raw material" and chopsticks made, there are tofu France began in the Han Dynasty Huainan Wang Liu documented. Tofu is aristocratic, so it will naturally appear in the upscale banquet being. "Sector tofu," "mirror box tofu," the former royal feast was listed as the Huaiyang specialty dishes, "Evans tofu" and so on, are our familiar delicacies. Even in the aristocratic to the extreme of the Feast, the cold and hot dishes, the tofu have its place. The most stunning is the birthplace of the tofu - Anhui Huainan 8 foot produced by the public and the "tofu feast", cold cuts, hot dishes, all with tofu, a variety of cooking process carefully processed to produce the food taste good and unique.
Tofu is also civilian-oriented. Since tofu techniques introduced civil society, ordinary people are normally inside the food basket is probably the most frequently sung tofu, vegetables. Modern great writer Mr. Zhou Zuoren goes: "The Chinese suo eat dishes, half cabbage radish, half of the tofu products ... ..." I read the primary school, is the "Cultural Revolution" late life is far less now. Noon meal, vegetables; morning and evening He Yu, it is not considered vegetables dried radishes, why there was an "in food" is a saying. Of course, the daily "in food" is often more than vegetables, less meat dish, and we seem to be particularly greedy when siblings, in particular, want to eat meat dish. As a result, from time to time to educate our mother said, "Do not always think of eating lavish meals, remember: green vegetables, tofu, security and peace."
Tofu, although common, ordinary & Deli, but, with the wisdom of the Chinese nation, two thousand years, created a colorful production of cooking methods, no less than a million species of cooked dishes, snacks and other foods, resulting in a number of unclear where the name and special products. From Sichuan's "Mapo tofu", Hubei's "purse tofu", "Dongpo tofu," Beijing's "casserole tofu" to Jiangsu and Zhejiang's "stinky tofu", "tofu," Hainan "tofu burning" can be said that tofu is the river north and south, all the Chinese food most of civilians, the most colorful one.
In fact, that is, well-off society in people's lives today, tofu, tofu products is still indispensable for the civilian population on the table, one of the main dishes. Whether the true colors of the shallot mix tofu, vegetables and tofu soup, or in improving the lives of crab meat tofu soup, almond tofu (Huaiyang traditional summer beet), bean curd are all protagonists. For even in Yangzhou, the "big cook Gansi" simply a civilian-oriented characteristics of the name and symbol of the representatives of dishes. These invariably contain tofu products in the lives of ordinary people was a quiet and warm.
Since the true master of the Yearbook AD 757 east to Japan to pass into the Japanese tofu technology, the tofu has gradually moved towards the world, Chinese people eat two thousand years of daily food, and now has become a Western delicacies on the table, "TOFU" (tofu) The word as a new foreign language were included among the English Dictionary.
Yangzhou is inextricably linked with the tofu, and even singing in Yangzhou has become a tofu meatball Tang Sentences beautiful sounding name. Have seen a post on the Internet, saying: Ronger do tofu meatballs, called "24 Bridge Night Moon." Oh, many well-known poem, the name of more than cordial! I wonder if this "Ronger" is not a Jin Yong's characters in the novel, if true, is that we Nadao without losing the propaganda Huaiyang Yangzhou cuisine has a good pretext. If not, it does no harm, because even less pleasant name, tofu balls are very tasty indeed a kind of food. In particular, are now fried food, into pieces golden yellow, a bit off, crispy outside, tender inside the crisp, 100 eating tire really is like a Peisi performance piece "selling mutton string" in the lines, "to ensure you are eating a string of (a) like two strings of (a), eat two strings of (a) to 3 strings (a) ... .... " If you ask me why I'm so sure that such a conclusion ground floor, then I tell you, because I have first-hand experience, from small to large, I've been eating my grandmother fried tofu meatball more than thirty years and has recall the greedy mouth (saliva) liquid immediately could not help them much - I can not help but think of living in the Marina, a 93-year-old grandmother!
"Old pavilion break and Yan Wang, flying into the homes of ordinary people." To Liu Yuxi "Wuyi Xiang" in the sentence poem for the development of tofu, as if the idea is appropriate. Yes ah, 2000 For many years, tofu, is not always shuttling between the high-end banquet, and people dining table, walk in between the nobility and civilians do?
