Because raw food is the main food at home and abroad, it is commonly known as lettuce. Lettuce is native to the Mediterranean coast of Europe and belongs to the genus Panicum in Compositae. Its leaves and stems are fresh and crisp, and the taste is fragrant and slightly bitter. It was introduced to China in the 5th century. But in the past, lettuce was mainly used for edible stems in China, and a small amount was planted in the south. Now, more lettuce is planted.
Because the meaning of lettuce was uncertain before the Ming Dynasty, I found the following two records of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in which lettuce should be eaten now.
Ming Shi recommended the first year of the new Hongwu, and set up a new moon in the ancestral temple to recommend new things: the first month, leeks, leeks, lettuce, chickens and ducks. February cress, Artemisia selengensis, Taiwan Province cuisine, goose. In March, tea, bamboo shoots, carp and fried fish. In April, cherries, plums, apricots, shad and pheasants. In May, new wheat, melons, peaches and plums,
"Guangzhou Fuzhi" "Spring Festival ... spit lettuce spring cakes to meet anger." Many people will buy "a basket full of bright green lettuce" to go home "to get its vitality" (see Dianshizhai Pictorial, founded on 1884).
2. About the beauty of vegetables, Li Yu's classical Chinese translation is as follows:
When it comes to the delicacy of vegetables, they are light, clean and crispy. People don't know that vegetables are more delicious than meat, so the word fresh can be used to describe them. The Book of Rites said: "I am willing to accept peace and get something for nothing." Rarity is the source of sweetness. This kind of enjoyment can only be enjoyed by monks in the mountains, people in the wild and people who grow it themselves, but people who buy food from vegetable vendors in the city can't enjoy it. But other vegetables, whether in the city or in the mountains, can be planted by families with vegetable gardens next to their homes, picked and eaten at any time, and can also enjoy this kind of fun.
As for bamboo shoots, good ones can only be produced in mountains and cities, and no matter how fragrant and delicious they are, they are only inferior bamboo shoots. This is the most delicious vegetable, fat sheep and suckling pig. How can it be compared? As long as bamboo shoots and meat are cooked in the same pot and put together in the same pot, people only eat bamboo shoots and don't eat meat, which shows that bamboo shoots are more valuable than meat. I bought it in the market, let alone just dug it out of the mountains.
There are many ways to eat bamboo shoots, so you can't record them all. It can be summarized in two sentences: "boiled water should be used, and fat pigs should use meat." If a vegetarian cooks bamboo shoots with other things and then adds sesame oil, the taste of those things will take away the delicate flavor of bamboo shoots, and the real delicious taste of bamboo shoots will be lost. The correct way is to boil it in white water and add a little soy sauce. The best things are suitable for making alone, and bamboo shoots are like this. When cooked with meat, cows, sheep, chickens and ducks are not suitable, pork is suitable, especially with fat. Not the fat of fat, but the sweetness of fat. The sweetness was inhaled by bamboo shoots, and then I couldn't feel this sweetness, but I felt it was extremely rare. When it is almost cooked, all the grease should be removed, and no soup can be left, only half of it should be left, plus clear soup. Only vinegar and wine are used for seasoning. This is the general method of burning bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are delicious whether eaten alone or cooked together. Vegetarians can use bamboo shoots as side dishes.
Bamboo shoots in vegetables, like licorice in traditional Chinese medicine, are all necessary things. The food containing these things will be fresh, but juice is used instead of dregs. Chefs who can cook keep the soup for cooking bamboo shoots as long as they have it, and use it to reconcile every dish they cook. People who eat just feel fresh, but they don't know that the reason for freshness lies in bamboo shoots. All kinds of foods recorded in materia medica are not necessarily delicious, and delicious foods are not necessarily good for people. To have the best of both worlds, there is nothing better than bamboo shoots. Su Dongpo said: "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. " But I don't know that things that can cure common diseases can also cure thinness. The only difference is whether it becomes bamboo.
The original text of On the Beauty of Vegetables is as follows:
On the beauty of food, it is clear, clean, fragrant and crisp. I don't know where the beauty lies. There is only one word fresh that can live on meat. "Ji" said: "Be willing to accept peace and be chosen for nothing." Freshness is what you are willing to do. This kind of sacrifice can only be offered to people who bow down in the garden, and city people can't beg for a living from vegetable sellers. However, he grows vegetables, regardless of the urban mountains and forests, and whoever has a garden next to his house has fun picking and cooking.
As for one of the bamboo shoots, it should have broken ground in the deep mountains and forests, and the products produced in the city are delicious, which is the final meaning of bamboo shoots. This dish is the first, fat and tender, so why not compare it? However, if bamboo shoots are cooked together, they will be filled with a reed. If people stop eating bamboo shoots and leave meat behind, then meat is fish and bamboo shoots are bear's paws. I bought it naturally in the city, but I dug it in the mountains.
There are many ways to eat bamboo shoots, and you can't know the history. Please sum it up in two words, saying, "boiled water is suitable for fat pork." If people in Zhai eat bamboo shoots, if they are served with other things and mixed with sesame oil, the old taste is delicious, but the real taste of bamboo shoots is gone. Boil it with a little soy sauce. Everything from beauty to beauty is conducive to going your own way, and so is this kind of thing. With meat, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and other things are not suitable, only suitable for tapirs, but also suitable for fat. Fat doesn't want to be greasy, fat can be sweet. If it tastes sweet as bamboo shoots, it is not sweet, but it is delicious. Remove the grease when cooking, that is, don't store too much juice. It is good to leave half of the clear soup. The only thing that needs to be reconciled is vinegar and wine. This kind of bamboo shoot system is also very popular. Bamboo shoots are things, not only for personal use, but also beautiful. All foods, regardless of meat and vegetables, should be used for blending.
Bamboo shoots in vegetables and licorice in medicine are both necessary things, so all tastes are fresh, but they should not be replaced by their dregs, but by their *. Those who take care of people's good tools, those with bamboo shoots and soup, can't stay, and they must be reconciled every time they cook a meal. People who eat know the freshness of other things, but they don't know there is such freshness. All the foods contained in materia medica are not good for people, and those who are good may not be good for people. There's nothing better. Dongpo said: "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. " I don't know whether it can cure vulgarity or thinness, but there is a difference between bamboo and bamboo.

4. A poem about vegetables: shepherd's purse: A Partridge in the Sky by Xin Qiji.
On strangers, soft mulberry branches and oriental silkworm eggs have been born.
The fine grass in Pinggang sings yellow calves, and the crow in the cold forest at sunset.
The mountains are far and near, the roads are inclined, and the green slate sells wine with people.
Peaches and plums in the city are worried about the wind and rain, and shepherd's purse is spent in the stream in spring.
