Although there was delicious food in the Qin Dynasty, unfortunately, because vegetable oil and wok did not appear in the Qin Dynasty, we will not consider fried shrimp and fried meatballs for the time being. Barbecue can be regarded as the most primitive cooking method of human beings. The ancients called it roast, and the cut barbecue was called roast. And barbecue has become a favorite food for everyone, so the idiom "popular" came into being later. People also began to barbecue on the stove with skewers. This scene is only a few bottles of beer away from the current barbecue stall.
Song Dynasty can be said to be the peak of China's eating goods. In the Song Dynasty, people began to try cooking. There are food sellers everywhere in the streets. If you don't believe me, look at the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, a picture scroll more than 5 meters long, 100 buildings, about half of which are hotels. Pork reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. Some people take the practice of pork to the extreme, that is, under the control of temperature and alcohol consumption, this civilian dish is like a delicious dish.
Later, in the Qing dynasty, a kind of delicious food that we can't give up now was born. Of course, this is not a Manchu banquet, but a mutton hot pot. The popularity of hot pot in the Qing court not only inherited the Central Plains tradition of eating goods in our empire, but also followed the winter eating habits of early Manchu nobles. Manchu nobles lived in the northeast in their early years, with high latitude and low temperature in winter, and liked to eat hot food. Using warm tableware is one of the "skills to keep out the cold".
