Stories about cherishing food

1. When Mao Zedong's daughter goes to school, she only takes out the dates when she eats the steamed corn buns, and the rest are still thrown away. You know, at that time, many people couldn't even eat. The teacher told the chairman about it, and Mao Zedong severely criticized her daughter. Since then, she has never wasted food.

2. 196 1,1On February 4th, a special committee was convened to consider a plan of the Second Machinery Department at that time. The meeting lasted from morning to noon, and Premier Zhou invited everyone to have lunch. On the dining table is a big bowl of meatballs cooked with cabbage and tofu, surrounded by several dishes of pickles and sesame cakes. Premier Zhou and everyone eat at the same table and eat the same food. This story sounds instructive so far.

3. In Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, there is also a song with four dishes and one soup: "The emperor treats you, four dishes and one soup, radish and leek, so sweet; Onion tofu, profound and clear, makes corrupt officials flustered. When Zhu Yuanzhang celebrated the queen's birthday, he only used two bowls of carrots, leeks, vegetables and spring onion tofu soup to entertain the officials. Moreover, there are three chapters in the Covenant: in the future, no matter who hosts a banquet, only four dishes and one soup are allowed, and anyone who violates it will pay in hell.

When Su Zong was a prince, he served his father Xuanzong in the palace. Greet him and serve him for dinner. This is a gift from the prince. There is a leg of lamb at the dinner party. Xuanzong wanted to eat, but ignored Su Zong and let him cut it himself. Su Zong accepted his order and cut it with a knife. Because there was some suet on the blade, Su Zong took a piece of cake and wiped the knife clean.

Xuanzong saw that bread was food, but it was a pity to use it to clean knives. He looked at him crossly. Su Zong calmly raised the cake and put it in his mouth to eat, but Xuanzong was overjoyed. Xuanzong then said to Su Zong: mortal wealth is limited and should be so cherished. Generally speaking, from Tianzi to Shu Ren, although there are many blessings, they are all cherished for a long time, and the waste of money will be short-lived. Jing Quan, for example, will be inexhaustible if it is absorbed slowly. If it is exhausted, it will be exhausted in an instant.

Therefore, since ancient times, the holy king, although respected by the nine ranks and rich in the world, has always worn the clothes of Huan Zhuo, not eating strange flavor, reducing the power to serve the royal family and love the people, so his life expectancy is prolonged and his country is far away. After his death, Yang Di and others drained everyone's blood for one person's desire. If he is afraid of lack of money, if he loses all his wealth and his country, it will be sad. The word "cherish happiness" written by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty is a valuable lesson for all people.
