What does the old people in rural areas often say "sheep don't ginger, cows don't leek" mean? Does this make sense?

We all know that cattle and sheep are two common domestic animals in China, and beef and mutton are also common meat on our table. I remember when I was a child, cattle and sheep were very precious wealth, and only when someone in the village held a happy event would they be slaughtered. At that time, it was really a family that made it fragrant in Wan Li. Now people's living standards are getting better and better, and beef and mutton are eaten casually like vegetables. Really happy.

However, the so-called "sheep don't ginger, cows don't leek", do you understand this sentence? We all know that mutton is a kind of meat with a very strong smell, which is why smoking is popular in Xinjiang to cook mutton. However, although barbecue mutton is full of flavor and appetizing, it is very bad for your health if you eat it regularly. This is because smoked food contains carcinogens. So I suggest you cook mutton in a normal way, so how to solve the smell of mutton at this time? Many people will think of using ginger to deodorize, but this is absolutely impossible. Because mutton belongs to heat in TCM theory, ginger is a typical heat. If you cook and eat together, it is likely to get angry and inflamed. This is the saying that "sheep are not ginger".

What about "cows are not leeks"? In fact, the reason is similar to "sheep don't want ginger", because beef is an aphrodisiac and leek is also an aphrodisiac. If mixed together, it is easy to get angry, leading to high spirits, swollen gums, toxic skin and sleepless nights.

In fact, many common sayings in our life that foods are incompatible with each other have certain scientific truth. So, how do we deal with mutton and beef correctly? First of all, if you want to remove the smell of mutton, there are many options. 1, you can cook with white radish and mutton for a while, and white radish will absorb the special smell of mutton; 2. You can cook dried tangerine peel and mutton together; 3. You can soak mutton in rice vinegar for a while; 4. You can put some spices in cooking, such as fennel and star anise. These spices can not only suppress the odor instantly, but also add flavor, so they are a multi-pronged choice.

So, what's a good way to cook beef? Because beef is a famous spicy and fat food, we should pay special attention to the choice of ingredients. One of the dishes I recommend is fried beef with bitter gourd. Bitter gourd can stimulate appetite, clear fire and clear heat. Beef is high in protein and low in fat, which is a good diet food. Fried beef with bitter gourd also avoids the possibility of getting angry. The specific method is: 1, sliced bitter gourd, pickled and pickled; 2. After the bitter gourd comes out of the water, pour out the bitter water with salt, and then wash the salt on the surface of the bitter gourd; 3. Shred beef tenderloin and marinate with cooking wine, salt and sugar for a while. 4. Pour the oil into the pot and stir-fry the chopped green onion and Jiang Mo. 5, first add bitter gourd, stir fry for a while; 6. Then pour in shredded beef. Healthy beef can be eaten raw abroad, so it doesn't need to be cooked for too long, which destroys the freshness and rich taste of beef. 7. Add salt, yellow wine, soy sauce and white sugar to taste, stir-fry evenly, and then add water and starch to thicken; 8, out of the pot. It can be said that it is very simple. Interested friends may wish to give it a try.

What does the old people in rural areas often say that "sheep have no ginger and cows have no leeks"? What do they mean?

When I was a child, my family was not very rich, but whenever the Chinese New Year was coming in winter, my father would always take a pair of dustpans to the butcher shop in the village to buy half a sheep and a dozen catties of beef. Every morning when my father buys meat, my mother will set a big table in the yard in the afternoon to wash the meat and start pickling. At this time, I will stand at the table and watch my mother smile skillfully. If grandpa hadn't worked in the fields that day, he would have told me many stories about cattle and sheep. Among them, I have heard many times about the origin of the old saying that sheep don't have ginger and cows don't have leeks in the countryside, and I still remember it vividly today.

First of all, "sheep don't want ginger" means that there will be no ginger slices in the stewed mutton in rural areas during the Chinese New Year. Then why on earth is this? As we all know, mutton naturally has the effects of nourishing yin, strengthening yang and dispelling cold, and this effect will be more obvious in winter. To be exact, ginger also has a good effect of dispelling cold and keeping warm in winter. Therefore, if mutton and ginger slices are stewed together, people with poor health may have a series of phenomena such as getting angry, upset and fidgety because of the strong effect of dispelling cold.

The so-called "beef is not leek" means that every household in rural areas will cook all kinds of dishes during the New Year, but it must be remembered that beef and leek cannot be mixed together. That's because eating beef in winter has the functions of invigorating qi, regulating qi and strengthening yang, and leeks also have a strong aphrodisiac effect. So it is very easy to get angry when the two are mixed together. Old people who eat too much always feel refreshed and can't fall asleep quickly. If so, it will not be worth the loss.

We explain "sheep don't ginger, cattle don't leek" from three aspects, what is sheep don't ginger, and what is cattle don't leek. Why "sheep are not ginger, cows are not leeks".

If it is often said by old people in rural areas, they will be the first to think of farming. Sheep don't eat ginger, or sheep can't eat ginger. Cows don't eat leeks, or cows can't eat leeks. This is indeed the case. I have never seen cattle and sheep eat ginger and leeks, and they leave when they smell them.

However, anyone with a little knowledge of cooking knows that this refers to the taboo of diet and cooking meat dishes, with no ginger in mutton and no leeks in beef. As for how it doesn't match, what will happen if it really matches? It will be analyzed later.

According to our traditional culture of "medicine and food are of the same origin", what we eat, drink and use, including what we see, feel and think, are all medicines, all of which have the function of treating diseases and causing diseases.

The compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the coordination of yin and yang and the balance of five elements. So there is a compatibility taboo, what can't be matched with what, or there will be a big problem. We use this basic principle completely when cooking. All the ingredients, like Chinese medicine, are classified according to Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Cooking should be matched, and you can't cook with one ingredient. Then, what ingredients match what ingredients, you must first achieve the five elements, and never collide with the five elements, and then consider the taste, shape and color.

In fact, the theory of Yin-Yang balance is the oldest philosophy in China and the soul of our folk culture, which is reflected in all walks of life and every aspect of our daily life. For example, there are men and women who have income and support, warmth and coolness, and poverty and prosperity. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, otherwise it will lose its balance, or it will be annihilated or reborn.

Cooking is exactly the same as preparing medicine and decocting medicine. A cook is a doctor who cooks with medicine. He treats everyone, prevents diseases and cooks for everyone. In this way, if you don't know the pharmacology of ingredients, you can't be a chef. If you know the pharmacology of the ingredients, but deliberately mismatch them, then you will die. If you know the pharmacology of ingredients, you are a qualified chef. So, it doesn't mean that you are a chef, but it depends on your kung fu.

According to this basic cooking principle, "sheep have no ginger, cattle have no leek", it is easy to find the problem. Mutton and ginger, beef and leek can't be matched. The five elements do not overlap, do not collide, but overlap, and the negative is positive, which not only fails to nourish, but causes physical imbalance and problems. The reason is that mutton and ginger are warm things and cooked together. The high energy of mutton and the damp heat of ginger stimulate together, just like the fire in the Three Kingdoms. Watching the excitement is delicious, eating hot, and the internal organs can't stand it. The same is true of beef and leek, both of which are tonifying kidney and strengthening yang. After eating, I can't stand it. If I can't vent through normal channels, I will get gum and toothache.

The second part introduces this content, which is explained from the basic principle of ingredients.

In addition to ingredients, chefs also use spices. The fundamental purpose of using seasoning is also the basic principle of using seasoning. There are three principles:

● The first five lines do not match. As I said before, they are all warm. If they are used together, they will not form a balance, but will be more unbalanced.

● According to the basic principle of using seasoning mentioned above, mutton is an ingredient and ginger is a seasoning. The essence of mutton is meat flavor, peculiar smell is smell, and five elements are heat. The direction of seasoning should be chosen, which can not only remove the smell of mutton, but also distribute fragrance and balance calories, and is the perfect seasoning for mutton. We can choose the seasonings of mutton: onion, ginger, wine, pepper, fennel and so on. Which is the most suitable? Is the balance effect of odor removal and fragrance removal the best? The basic truth has been said that onion with mutton is the best, the most fragrant and the most balanced of the five elements. See this and you will know why Xinjiang people love to use leather teeth so much.

Beef is the same as leek. Beef tastes mild, and there is no strange smell, at least there is no unpleasant taste, and there is no need to use seasoning to remove the smell. In addition, there are many beef companions, potatoes, yams and even kelp can be served, not just leeks. Even if there are beef and leeks in the same meal, wouldn't it be better to cook them separately? Together, it is the chef's stupidity.

Speaking of the rural saying "sheep don't ginger, cows don't leek", I haven't heard of it before. Only the saying "chicken doesn't ginger, duck doesn't garlic" may be that local and individual tastes are different, resulting in different eating habits.

In my hometown, the five spices "onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and spicy" are closely related to our living habits and food culture. Like Sichuan cuisine, our food is neither spicy nor fragrant, and there is no pepper. Other onions, ginger and garlic are essential for dipping in water.

I still don't quite understand the saying "sheep don't make ginger", because "onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and spicy" have the characteristics of pungent, appetizing and greasy. We mountain people like to breed black goats and yellow cattle, so besides pork, we eat beef and mutton at most. We prefer to eat "beef and mutton in soup pot", so we like to add ginger slices and cook them together to get rid of the fishy smell when cooking.

When eating, I also like to dip in water. The seasoning for dipping in water is made by chopping "onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and spicy" and adding hot soup, noodle sauce and coriander. The old man said that the onion can clear the yang and disperse the knot, the ginger can warm the stomach and remove the fishy smell, the garlic can be disinfected and sterilized, and the pepper and pepper can improve the taste and have the effect of warming the middle and benefiting qi. These condiments are made into water to eat beef and mutton, which is most suitable for people in our cold Liangshan area and has the effect of expelling cold and dehumidifying.

So in our hometown, there is no such thing as "sheep without ginger", only heard that "chicken without ginger and duck without garlic", which means chicken without ginger and duck without garlic. This may be related to our living environment and eating habits, and there is no absolute requirement.

In addition, "the cow has no leeks" literally means that beef can't be eaten with leeks. From the point of view of dishes, beef is sweet and warm, which can replenish qi and help fire. Leek is a spicy thing. If beef and leek are cooked together, it will easily help to get angry from the perspective of Chinese medicine, causing oral inflammation, swelling and pain of roots and aphtha. Therefore, I think it makes sense to say that "beef is not leek".

In fact, many foods in life are incompatible with each other and should not be eaten together. For example, we often say that "water chestnut pork hurts the stomach", "chestnut beef will vomit", "getting used to mutton will hurt your vitality" and "persimmon crabs are prone to diarrhea".

As the saying goes, "sheep don't have ginger, cows don't have leeks" and "chicken doesn't have ginger, duck doesn't have garlic" are all different foods, but the eating habits and tastes of different places are different, so the seasonings chosen are different, just like northerners like light taste, while southerners like spicy taste.

In fact, have you ever found that sheep don't eat fresh Jiang Ye, and cows don't eat leeks no matter how hungry they are!

How to understand that sheep are not ginger and cows are not leeks? Welcome to pay attention to Hua Yaomei and talk about agriculture, countryside and farmers together!

There is a saying in the countryside that "sheep have no ginger and cattle have no leeks", which means that mutton can't be eaten with ginger and beef can't be eaten with leeks. What does this statement mean? Does it make sense? Listen to the old man slowly.

Say "sheep are not ginger" first. Why can't mutton be eaten with ginger? As we know, mutton tonifies yang to keep warm, and ginger keeps warm. The combination of the two can warm and tonify, and at the same time, it can drive away exogenous pathogens and treat cold abdominal pain. If two people are together, because they are both hot things, I'm afraid they will be too passionate.

Let's talk about "cows are not leeks". Beef is sweet and warm, which has the power amplifier effect of warming the middle and helping yang, while leek is pungent and warm, which has the effect of warming the middle and helping yang. If eaten together, it will make people feel hot and dry, make the virtual fire rise, and cause gum swelling and pain.

But one thing, China people pay great attention to the harmony of five flavors, the complementarity of yin and yang, impartiality and perfection. This is called the golden mean, also known as the golden mean. Personally, I think food compatibility exists, but it is not absolute. Although each ingredient contains medicinal properties, each has its own function, including warm, cold and hot, which is suitable for tonifying deficiency and purging excess, but the food is not so strong after all. It is ok to eat mutton with ginger and beef with leeks occasionally. As long as it is not excessive, as long as it is not eaten every day, you can boldly enjoy the food!

If you have other original ideas about "sheep don't ginger, cows don't leek", please post them in the comments section below!

The weather turned cold, and a bowl of warm beef soup in the morning made me full of energy all day.

We have the habit of drinking morning wine in the countryside here. The so-called morning wine is to go to the mutton restaurant or beef restaurant, order a few ounces of meat, a bowl of soup and two ounces of wine, and start working after drinking the morning wine!

"Onion, garlic and mint" is the universal way to eat mutton and beef here. There is an old saying in the countryside that "sheep have no ginger, cattle have no leeks". In fact, mutton cannot be eaten with ginger, and beef cannot be eaten with leeks. As we all know, both mutton and ginger have the effect of dispelling cold. The combination of the two is too strong to dispel the cold, and most people can't stand it. If he eats too much, he will get angry. Both beef and leek have the effects of nourishing yin and strengthening yang. Eating both together is easy to be energetic and upset.

The eating habits of the older generation in rural areas can only represent the eating habits of every place. When I was studying in the north, there was jiaozi with beef and leek stuffing. Students in the north say that it's hot to eat warm body in winter, so as not to be afraid of cold.

The food culture is very strange. When eating, you should mainly look at it according to your physical condition, just like some people can't get angry when eating spicy food, and some people can't stand it when they touch spicy food!

Wen/Xiao Hua Niu

With the arrival of winter, people began to make up again, and all kinds of beef, sheep and dog meat were made up, because winter is the most suitable time to make up the body all year round. In many rural areas, cattle, sheep and dogs are slaughtered on a large scale in winter, because only in such a cold season in winter is it suitable to eat these warm ingredients to avoid getting angry.

So what does the old people in rural areas often say "sheep don't ginger, cows don't leek" mean?

Mutton and beef are actually eaten in many places all year round, but in some northern areas, pork is not eaten much because of the habit of eating beef and mutton. In the mainland, especially in the south, warm ingredients like beef and mutton are not suitable for eating all year round. After all, the weather in the south is hot, and eating warm food is more likely to get angry.

This sentence means to eat mutton without ginger. In fact, to be honest, I don't know where this is said. Although ginger is indeed a spicy ingredient, it is also a necessary seasoning in many dishes. Not only mutton, but also ginger is indispensable for beef. Especially mutton, which has a heavy fishy smell, will have a heavy taste without a little ginger, and many people are not used to it.

So although it is reasonable to say that putting ginger will increase the chance of getting angry, in fact, most people still put ginger in real life. Therefore, the sheep feel that it makes no sense.

Obviously, this sentence means not to eat leek beef. In fact, it still means that leek is a spicy ingredient, and so is beef. Together, it will increase the chance of getting angry. In fact, it is very common to eat beef and leeks at the same time in life. In some places, there are leek beef in jiaozi. It all depends on the local people's eating habits.

Just like many Cantonese people don't eat spicy food, they get angry when they eat Chili. Then, as a person who is not spicy and unhappy, if there is no pepper, I can't eat it at all. Therefore, these rules actually vary from person to person, according to local conditions, and are not suitable for everyone.

As southerners, when we eat mutton here, we will put some ginger and wine appropriately to achieve the effect of removing fishy smell. And like some jiaozi shops here, some jiaozi fillings are made of beef and leeks. It is said that this dumpling stuffing was handed down from the north.

Anyway, I occasionally eat beef and leeks from jiaozi, which are delicious. I didn't find anything wrong with my body except that I became handsome, smart and a little taller.

Sheep are not ginger, and cows are not leeks. Actually, this is about the eating habits of animals, cattle and sheep. Normally, sheep don't eat ginger. Cows generally do not eat leek leaves. Because cattle and sheep are not interested in these plants with special smells.

This reminds me of something that happened in 14.

That day, another colleague and I were on duty in the village Committee. An old man named Grandma Wu came in angrily, complaining that her leek had been eaten by other people's cows and asking the village committee to deal with it.

Colleagues have explained to her many times that cows will not eat leeks. Explain repeatedly that cows don't like the taste of leeks.

But the old man just didn't believe it. He kept saying that he saw a cow eat her leek field with his own eyes.

Later, my colleague got impatient and handed her a handful of leeks she bought in the morning and said, if a cow eats this leek, I will call you grandma.

Grandma retorted: you make it sound as if you are not my grandson, as if you don't have to call me grandma Wu when you see me.

Then, Barabara gave a lesson to my colleague. Anyway, she is an elder, and my colleague is a junior of her kin, so she shouldn't help outsiders.

Later, the old man went to the leader. In the end, the matter went away.

I grew up in the countryside and used to raise cattle at home. I have never seen cows eat leeks, and I have never heard of them. As for cows, will they eat leeks when they are hungry? I don't know about that.

It is even more uncertain whether sheep eat ginger. Because there are few people raising sheep there.

In a word, sheep have no ginger and cattle have no leeks. This means that cattle and sheep don't eat seasoning grass like ginger and leeks, not that they don't cook ginger and leeks.

It is obvious that mutton is not suitable for eating with ginger. Mutton is a hair care product, and Jiang Ye is a warm ingredient. When mutton is delicious, it should be enough. Excessive consumption will promote the development of some diseases and aggravate the condition. It often leads to oral erosion, red eyes, bitter taste, irritability, dry throat and swollen gums. Not to mention that eating with ginger is taboo.

And mutton and vinegar can't be eaten at the same time, and mutton soup can't be added with vinegar. In addition, vinegar contains protein, sugar, vitamins, acetic acid and a variety of organic acids, which is mild and suitable for cold food but not for hot mutton.

Eating beef with pork, white wine, leek, onion (garlic) and ginger can easily cause gingivitis. Beef and leek are both hot foods, although they will not be poisoned, but try to eat them together as little as possible.

What does the old people in rural areas often say' sheep have no ginger, cows have no leeks'? Does this make sense?

Eating habits? Still have different tastes? Whether this sheep is not ginger, cow or leek means nutrition or something else, let's analyze it today.

In rural areas, although health care is not emphasized very much, food harmful to health has always been attached great importance, so there are many old sayings about diet.

Sheep have no ginger. Everyone knows mutton. Eating mutton in winter is good for the human body. Belonging to a warming food. Mutton has the functions of warming spleen and stomach, liver and kidney, protecting gastric mucosa, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, enriching blood and warming meridians. It is a natural tonic for the weak.

That is to say, mutton is a warm tonic food, and then look at ginger, which has the functions of sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, warming meridians and dredging veins, helping yang to pass water, and is also a warm tonic.

If mutton and ginger are cooked together, it is the best food for women with cold palace, but it is tonic for men with heavy yang. Excessive yang is easy to get angry, and the fire is sad.

The so-called sheep don't put ginger, which is purely aimed at masculine men. Women need food made of mutton and ginger. It seems that the old man's past words are targeted, which also shows the serious patriarchal thinking of those old people.

Beef is the meat that most people like to eat. It can enhance human immunity, supplement iron and blood, and resist aging. Magnesium contained in beef can improve the efficiency of insulin anabolism and contribute to the treatment of diabetes.

Beef is warm, which helps to invigorate qi and fire, but leek is one of the Nostoc flagelliformes in rural areas, which is a great tonic and irritating thing. If you do it together, it belongs to mutual help and nourishment. Leek has the function of warming the middle warmer and helping yang, while beef has the function of invigorating qi and strengthening yang. Eating together is easy to make the virtual fire rise.

Eating mutton with ginger instead of ginger can vary from person to person. Women like this kind of biting, which is beneficial to dispel the cold in the body. Men had better not eat it, so as not to get too angry, and beef should not be eaten with leeks, so as not to get sick due to rising deficiency fire.
