Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, has a famous seven-character quatrain: "Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky. The window contains autumn snow in Xiling, and the Wu Dong Wan Li boat stops at the door. " After the publication of this poem, there are many interesting things, among which poetry banquets, poetry painting dishes and poetry kitchens are widely circulated. ?
In the second year of Su Zonggan Yuan's poetry banquet, Du Fu abandoned his official position and went west to live in Chengdu Caotang. One day, several uninvited guests went to Du Fu's house to make friends with Shi. Du Fu really couldn't think of a better meal to entertain his guests. Mrs. Du was overwhelmed with anxiety. Just wondering, Du Fu found a handful of leeks, two eggs and a big plate of bean curd residue in the kitchen. He immediately turned his worries into happiness, smiled and whispered a few words to his wife, and invited the guests to sit down and chat. ?
After a while, Mrs. Du served three dishes and one soup. The first bowl is fried leek with two egg yolks on it; The second bowl is also fried leek with protein on it; The third bowl is steamed bean curd residue, with nothing on it; Finally, there is a big bowl of leek bean curd soup with several white eggshells floating on it. ?
Mrs. Du immediately motioned for Du Fu to punch at the guests and said, "It's a great honor for you to come to my humble abode, and I specially prepared a' poetry banquet' to show my heart." Just as the guests were wondering, Du Fu picked up chopsticks and pointed to the first bowl of vegetables. This is called "two orioles singing green willows". Pointing to the second bowl of vegetables, he said, this is "a line of egrets going up to the sky"; Pointing to the third bowl of vegetables, this is "the window of Xiling contains snow"; It refers to the last bowl of soup, saying that it is "Wan Li ship at the door with Wu Dong". At this time, the guests suddenly realized and applauded. ?
Poetry and painting dishes in Sichuan folk, there is a strange girl, with both talent and appearance, excellent cooking, famous in Sichuan. One day, two talented people came from afar, and the woman deserved warm hospitality. However, because there is only one leek and two eggs at home, I don't know what to do. Fortunately, the lady read a poem by Du Fu. After offering tea to two guests, she smiled and cooked, and soon made a poetic dish. The first set is made of green leek, with two round egg yolks on the surface, named "two orioles singing green willows"; The second set is still at the bottom of the green leek, with a slip of protein on the surface, called "a row of egrets in the sky"; The third course, leeks are paved in a mountain shape, and the top of the mountain is stained with protein, which is called "the window contains snow in Xiling Qian Qiu"; The fourth course is a big bowl of clear soup with four white eggshells floating on it. This is the so-called "Mambo Wu Dong Wan Li Boat". When the woman raised her glass to make a slight apology, the two gifted scholars praised in unison: "Your ingenious' poetry and painting dishes' are better than human delicacies! You're welcome. " ?
There is a famous "Tang poetry restaurant" in Jiangnan. One day, a guest officer proudly came and asked to make three dishes and one soup with only eight words and two eggs according to Du Fu's seven-character quatrains. The cook knew there was something wrong with the guest officer, but he just went his own way and agreed happily. Soon, I saw the chef bring three dishes and one soup to the table: the first dish was two steamed egg yolks with a few shallots, symbolizing "two orioles singing green willows"; The second course is covered with a trace of protein, which means "a line of egrets goes up to the sky", and the third course is stir-fried white eggs with no onions, which means "the window contains Xiling snow"; The fourth course is simpler. It is a big bowl of clear water with only a few discerning eggshells floating on it, which looks like "Soochow berthing in Wan Li". The guest officer saw this "three dishes and one soup" and praised it again and again. Later, this chef was called "Poetic Chef".
