Introduction of eight cold dishes in Luoyang water mat

Luoyang water mat has eight cold dishes and sixteen hot dishes! What are the names of eight cold dishes with the theme of service, ceremony, Taoism, desire, art, culture, Zen and politics? Sixteen hot dishes are divided into four tables, eight big pieces and four sweeps.

"Clothes": The egg coat made of egg yolk is tied to the dish. The egg coat is as thin as paper and golden. Eating red and green silk on the egg coat to make a dragon and phoenix pattern also represents the emperor's yellow robe.

"Rite": Remove the deer tendon and cook it into a white hook, which looks like a bow. (There are other materials instead) The look and feel is white and crystal clear, and it is placed in the plate in an orderly way, which reflects the courtesy.

"Tao": roll up the fragrant stuffing with rotten spiced slices (with the soil spikes and fungi born in Artemisia along the bank of Luohe River after the rain). It is best to call it "geosphere" in the local dialect. ) I don't know what's inside, I don't know the taste inside, and I have an indescribable delicious feeling when I eat it in my mouth.

"Desire": Take the kidney flower of a three-year-old dog, cut it into pieces, open it in the middle, embed it in the waist of a cock over eight years old, decorate it with Lycium barbarum, and wrap it around with Cordyceps sinensis to make it look gorgeous and nutritious.

Art: In the past, all the dishes were made of crispy lotus and sparrow tongue. It means that the lotus is picturesque and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, which means that the scenery is picturesque and peaceful. Of course, today we want to protect birds, and the tongue has been replaced.

"Wen": Mix carp with green bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are the soul of bamboo, bamboo is the friend of literature, and literature is the principle of the world (carp).

"Zen": Wu Zetian once became a monk, which was related to Buddhism and Zen. This dish is vegetarian and not greasy.

"Zheng": made of goose breast and goose web. Geese migrate when they know it's cold and warm, and their feet are floating. Metaphorically, the regime should know that the world is warm and cold, and public opinion reflects it. Today, goose breast has been replaced by goose breast.

1, Swallow dishes, now more Swallow dishes in Luoyang are called "Peony Swallow Dishes". Because Premier Zhou Enlai accompanied Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau to visit Luoyang 5438+0973 10 in June, Luoyang city leaders hosted him with a water table. The famous chef carefully made a peony flower with eggs and put it on the swallow dish. Premier Zhou was very happy and said, "Luoyang peony is the best in the world, and peony flowers are also in the dish." From then on, the swallow's dish was renamed "Peony Swallow's dish".

2. Roasted tiger-headed carp with onion. The carp is the top grade of long-bearded carp produced by the Yellow River in Jin Meng. Put it on a plate and open your mouth to look up. Now, the fish head must be a distinguished person, an elder or your friend sitting at the table. It is a sign of respect and courtesy for people sitting at the table to move chopsticks first.

3, the cloud covers the fermented bean curd, and the person sitting in the next seat moves the chopsticks first. According to legend, Wu Zetian's four sons born in those years made her dissatisfied, but she was very happy with Princess Taiping. Later, when Taiping married Xue Shao and sent her daughter to get married, Wu Shi put his milk on the meat and told her to eat it, so that her daughter wouldn't forget all about my old mother's heart.

4. Dry rice rises to Baise, that is, stewed cabbage with dry rice, which is called "Baise" for good luck. Cabbage is sometimes vegetarian, really for the first two meat dishes.

Eight big pieces

The "eight big pieces" are divided into the first five pieces and the last three pieces.

The top five are "Kuaisan Sample", "Gallnut", "Fish Kernel", "Diced Chicken" and "Fried Crane Breast".

The last three kinds are three kinds of sweets, generally including eight-treasure rice, My Sweetie drawing, sweet and sour tenderloin.

Four scans

Followed by shark's fin flower arrangement, golden monkey exploring the sea, squid in spring and Bibo umbrella pill.

"Bibo Umbrella Pill" is a "meatball", but because it sounds like "finished", when Wu Zetian was sick, she ate the last dish and heard "finished". She sighed and realized at this time, but it was too late. Then he shouted, I'm going to die, too. Because of this, people in the future will always feel a little disappointed when eating a straw mat, and always think of a woman's death. It is said that since the Northern Song Dynasty, this last dish has been changed into a bowl of sour and refreshing egg drop soup, which has been preserved to this day.

One thing is quite funny. Even if the name of the last dish is changed, it is always rare for people to get together. Ironically, the last course was dubbed "Fuck off soup". .

In fact, every dish in the water mat has a legend. Now no one will eat the water mat again. These stories have yet to be discovered by you ~ ~

If you come to Luoyang, I'd like to recommend a hotel for you. One is a truly unique hotel located in the old city of Luoyang, which is an old-fashioned water mat. Remember to go above the second floor. Although it is more expensive than the first floor, the service attitude is much better than the first floor! ! ! Almost no one cares about you on the first floor. In order to eat happily, I suggest you take more stairs and spend two yuan more ~ ~

There's another one. Much better. It's the Chef Hotel on Jiudu Road in Luoyang, and the water mat inside is not bad.

If you want to know the culture of China, please come to Luoyang. Ouyang Xiu said: "If you ask about the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, please only look at Luoyang City."
