What is potato porridge? Is it the same as Song Dynasty bean porridge? How to enjoy the leisurely taste of bean porridge

Hastily eating salt and talking about honey

——Talk about ancient and modern flavors, talk about the delicacies of heaven and earth

When I read "Bean Porridge" in "Shanjia Qinggong", it was exactly In June, when new peanuts are on the market, the land in Quanzhou cannot grow high-quality rice, but the varieties of sweet potatoes and peanuts are very good. Sweet potatoes are used as food substitutes, and peanuts are used as tooth sacrifices. This is what every Quanzhou person likes to do.

Peanuts are called "potatoes" by Quanzhou people. Don't feel strange. In fact, it is strange that potatoes are called "potatoes".

Flowers grow in the ground. They belong to the same pod category as all beans. They are beans that really grow in the soil. They are called "potatoes". And potatoes are obviously potatoes, so why do you want to grab the name "potato"?

When "Potato" is on the market, Quanzhou people must cook a bowl of salty porridge, called "Potato Porridge". The new peanuts are soft and fragrant, and are cooked with rice to make porridge that melts in your mouth.

Don’t underestimate a bowl of ordinary “potato porridge”. The new peanuts that have just emerged from the soil are like a young girl in the blooming season. They are young and pure and fragrant, blending into the mouth, with a lingering aroma and a long aftertaste.

Therefore, every year new peanuts come on the market, they are always delicious.

After watching "Meng Hua Lu" last night, many of the dishes at Yong'an House came from "Shan Jia Qing Gong", and a dish of Crab Stuffed Orange was mentioned repeatedly in the play.

The last few chapters of "Menghua Lu" focus on Song Zhenzong and Queen Liu E. There is a plot in which Song Zhenzong told the eunuch that he wanted to eat the bean porridge cooked by Queen Liu himself.

Is this Song Dynasty bean porridge the same as potato porridge?

According to the Song Dynasty's "Eight Notes of Zunsheng":

There is no mention of peanuts.

Yes, there were no peanuts in the Song Dynasty. Peanuts, like sweet potatoes, were introduced to our country in the Ming Dynasty.

Both peanuts and sweet potatoes like hot, dry climate and soft and breathable soil, which means that the barren land in Fujian is particularly suitable for cultivation.

I remember Ouyang Xu in "Menghualu" called Lingnan a miasmatic and humid place, a fatal place. The same goes for Fujian, which is humid, muggy, mountainous and hilly, and has become a refuge for many high-ranking officials and royal families.

The descendants of these refugee aristocrats, nostalgic for the prosperity of Tokyo, cooked local peanuts into "potato porridge" according to local conditions to commemorate the "bean porridge" from their hometown.

Bean porridge was really popular in the Song Dynasty. The "bean porridge" recorded in "Shanjia Qinggong" comes from the poem "Bean Porridge" written by the great writer Su Shi:

Su Shi is not only The great writer is also a big foodie. He not only likes to eat bean porridge, but also likes bean rice.

Everyone knows "Dongpo Pork", but does it know "Dongpo Erhong Rice"?

Cooking japonica rice and adzuki beans together is called "Dongpo Erhong Rice".

Bean porridge also uses japonica rice and adzuki beans.

Bean porridge is a time-consuming delicacy, and it is not that easy to cook adzuki beans.

Su Shi wrote in his poem: The grinding pot on the ground is as bright as jade, and the beans cooked in the sand vase are as soft as crisp.

Japonica rice needs to be pounded before it becomes as shiny as jade; adzuki beans need to be simmered slowly in a casserole to make the beans soft and crispy.

Don’t be impatient when eating bean porridge, and you can’t drink hot porridge if you are impatient.

"Thousands of hectares of snow-colored reeds at the head of the river, the morning mist lingers in the thatched eaves."

The morning light reflects the thousands of leaning reed flowers on the riverside, as crystal clear as snow, and the grass not far away Smoke rose from the eaves of the house.

"Lie down and listen to the rooster's crow. When the porridge is ready, I will go to your house with my unkempt hair."

Lying on the bed, looking at the morning light, listening to the rooster's crow, I want to come to the store's bean porridge. Already cooked. Get up quickly, put on your shoes, wear your hair, and go to eat bean porridge in a leisurely manner.

Look, when eating bean porridge, you have to be so unhurried and slow.

And when we eat, don’t we all have to have this mentality?
