In the "Legend of the Wu Mei Niang" Taizong towards large organizations will be in, Li Zhi took a pear to his sister Princess Gaoyang, delivery side says: "such a good pear, nor can it block also your mouth." Little Gao Yang took it, do not rub rub, mouth will bite. To be honest, if I put the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, "such a good pear" really nor can it block the mouth of Gaoyang, Gaoyang because it does not eat pears!
Pears, the only place for itself in the twenty-four solar terms (Awakening of Insects) in fruits, pears ancients called the "fruit cases." Now we Chili is usually washed eat. But in ancient times, especially in the Tang Dynasty, steamed pears to eat.
Tang pears in the north, it is more common fruits, but Tang dynasty is like to eat steamed pears. "Tian for no man, retort Rika misty day." (From Guan "Tian as") nothing to do during the day, steamed pears to eat at home, this day was too relaxed. Pear steamed eat Fluid lungs Phlegm solution also drunk, most alcoholics welcomed.
You give a court to disclose Confidential, in addition to Tang popular steamed pears, as well as "robatayaki pear", that is, with the fire out with a barbecue cooked pears to eat, and eat the popular hand is burning now. Even expensive for the emperor Li Heng Tang Su-tsung, the palace also get hold of their own stove, three sons and his ministers to personally burn pears to eat. So if too late steamed pears, simply go out into the living room to get hold of the stove pendulum, so that the owner and guests to yourself, but amusing and provincial thing.
In case burnt head, wasted a few pears, it does not matter, because not too expensive too Rare pear fruit in the market town of north relatively easy to buy. And the country have their own high-quality varieties, such as Chang'an most famous is called "Ai Jia pear" (Her Majesty the Queen does not matter now, thank you), one of the largest pear legend reported that Germany Temple in Luoyang weight six pounds, Changshan really set pear, Qingzhou pear, pear Zhengzhou geese, are also legendary.
Overall, in the city of Chang'an, the supply is still very large fruit north. If sent home servants took to the streets to buy fruit to hospitality, you can expect them to buy "beginners mind" "fruit section" recorded twelve fruits: "Plums, peaches, cherries, dates, chestnut, pear, Gan, orange, plum, pomegranate, melon and so on. " See this many people should be asking, how you do not have that famous fruit? Yes ah, the most famous Tang dynasty that litchi it?
Our modern lychee is the most well-known Tang fruit, "a ride Red Feizixiao, no one knows is the lychee to" let Yang become the spokesman of this fruit, it is also famous. But that's in the Tang Dynasty Lychee top luxury, when rich people eat lychee regarded as bragging.
Because too big on, so people have to eat once studied, Yang really can eat authentic lychees it?
In China, the general was born in the capital Chang'an litchi Lingnan Lingnan Yang from living thousands of miles apart. Po Chu "Lychee Figure Preface" in say: lychee "If from this branch, the mere mention of a day, on the 2nd and fragrant changed, and flavor becomes three days, five days 4 color, flavor and try to carry on." And to send Yang lychee people "seven day and night to Chang'an, both men to death." This "seven day and night" party to the lychee, but also to eat it? Tang and Song of Skiles - Gong had crisp said: "annual tribute to Yang, are dry litchi." Busy for a long time, Yang eat dry litchi?
It was also said that Yang Li is to take food fresh fruit tree grafting will take way to Chang'an. History contains: "In the roots of Lai, planted in the vessel, by the south Chu Chu Dan River North Xiangyang, transported to Shangzhou, Qinling nowhere Vessels place, while being ripe fruit, is the removal of over hill, to Fakie Hua Qing, the day up also. " If so, the spokesman Yang gone to waste ah!
Since litchi so hard the whole, do not eat high-Tang dynasty fruit yet? No, Changan Knut force can also bite the bullet and get one of this is the cherry.
Cherry, also called Tang dynasty "containing peach." In the northern region, Cherry is one of the earliest ripe fruit a year, known as "the first fruit in early spring." In the Tang Dynasty, not only for cherry recommended for ancestors temple, the emperor also personally picking cherries, ministers receive His Majesty reward cherry, is simply infinite glory. Shinco second Scholars who will eat more "cherry feast." You know how they eat it? Although there is no steamed pears so much trouble, but by no means easy to wash stuffed mouth of thing.
Emperor concubines entertain senior minister eating cherries, should wash the fruit pile dolphin in the "glass" is glass, let it dripping bright red color through the crystal container emit beautiful light. Also next to recapture a small dish of steamed sugar Sulao (observer network Note: special yogurt, "Dream of Red Mansions" by Analyzing 19th back home mothering, to reward Jia homework progress had reward gem sugar Zhengsu casein), so that we dipped cherries to eat, sweet and sour flesh and mellow milk together, bring out in the mouth a long aftertaste, which is considered not live up to the "first fruit in early spring" in the world.
Tang Tea Set: Sugar steamed cherry + Sulao
Look, distilled from pears to lychee, then cherry, Tang dynasty will be eating it. Therefore, "Li Zhi" Do not take the pear fool "Gao Yang" ah.
