What can you eat if you travel to the Three Kingdoms period-draft-draft?

I believe many friends will have a dream of the Three Kingdoms after watching the TV series, and return to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms to be a great hero with indomitable spirit.

But heroes also have to eat. In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, eating was extremely simple. Even the simplest "scrambled eggs with tomatoes" you want may not be available, because tomatoes were introduced to China from the United States in the Ming Dynasty.

So what can I eat when I cross the Three Kingdoms?

During the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, people's main foods were rice, wheat and soybeans, and their main drinks were wine syrup. Syrup is a cold drink and soup is a hot drink, but syrup is just another name for drinking water. Water is not as precious as wine. During the Three Kingdoms period, drinking was quite popular. Nanjing has the title of Sanya, and Heshuo has summer drinks. Among them, Sun Quan and Sun Hao are both good drinkers.

? In cooking, all ethnic groups have brought their eating habits and cooking methods to the hinterland of the Central Plains. Among them, Hu Tang, Hu fan, Hu pao, barbecue, meat rinse and other methods were introduced from the ancient northern and western ethnic Hu people; Southeast people introduced methods such as barbecued pork and bacon; People in the southern coastal areas introduced the methods of roasting geese and raw fish. It was not until the Northern Wei Dynasty and after Tuoba, a northwest minority, entered the Central Plains that Hu food and the flavor diet of the northwest region were introduced to the mainland in large quantities, which made the court diet have the characteristics of blending Hu and Han.

The custom of China pasta was formed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and gradually expanded and popularized in the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Among these people, steamed bread is the most popular.

According to the Song Dynasty's "Things are in the Original", "Zhuge Gong levied Meng Huo. People say,' There are many sorceries in the south, so we must pray to God and help them with fake Yin soldiers. However, if their vulgarity kills people and sacrifices them first, then God will like to send troops. People don't follow, because mutton is miscellaneous, and it is wrapped in noodles, like a human head. God also enjoys it, but for sending troops, later generations have the name of steamed bread. "So, at that time, the steamed bread was not only stuffed with cattle, sheep and pork, but also bigger and similar to the head.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a large number of nomadic minorities in northwest China entered the Central Plains, where animal husbandry was developed and dairy products became regular food. At that time, dairy products mainly included cheese (fermented milk), ghee (ghee) and milk rot (cheese). They mainly eat pasta or as a drink, but of course they can also eat it directly.

During this period, banquets also showed new features, with more grand scenes, more complicated etiquette and richer dishes. For example, on New Year's Day, you should pay tribute to the king, and the king should entertain ministers. Cao Zhi wrote in the poem Hui Yuan: "At the beginning of a year, we just want good luck. This is a grand meeting and a banquet in this high hall. " At the banquet, "porridge is mixed", cold dishes and hot dishes are pushed layer by layer, and the monarch and the minister are together.

? There is no word "tea" in the literature before the Three Kingdoms period, only the word "tea". Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty said, "Tea is bitter." Due to the increase of tea planting, tea has gradually become a common drink in the south, and the custom of drinking tea by Shu people has also spread to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

? The famous dishes popular in this period are: fish sticks, five-flavored breasts, Hu soup, baked pork, thick soup, steamed dolphins (steamed pigs), fried jumping pills and Wuchang fish.
