It's hard to make others' eyes linger and live their own chic life.
Mr. Lin Yutang used many words to describe him: hopeless optimist, great humanist, friend of the people, great writer, great calligrapher, great Confucian politician, secretary of the emperor, Brewmaster, kind judge and political naysayer. Poet, clown. ?
But these are not enough to tell his whole story ... He was born in Sichuan, young and smart, and showed his talents to the fullest all his life until? Wutai poetry case? Being demoted to Huangzhou, he began his gourmet career.
Just arrived in Huangzhou.
The Yangtze River all over the country knows the beauty of fish.
Good bamboo and mountains feel the fragrance of bamboo shoots.
To sum up, the fish in Huangzhou is delicious and the bamboo shoots are delicious.
However, this did not satisfy him, and he turned his head to pork. Pork was rampant in the Song Dynasty, which was a lowly food that even the bottom people looked down upon, but Su Shi ate new tricks.
We know that Dongpo pork is the most famous dish created by Su Dongpo in Huangzhou, and the ingredient used is pork. He also wrote a doggerel praising pork.
Pork ode
Washing the pot, no water, no firewood. Don't hurry when it is ripe, it will look good when the fire is enough.
Huangzhou good pork, the price is as cheap as dirt. The rich refuse to eat, and the poor don't know how to cook. Get up in the morning and play two bowls, which are full, so don't worry at all.
Su Shi in Huangzhou, into the hinterland, not only did not complain bitterly, but also had meat to eat every meal, which was particularly cheap, probably very proud.
Su Shi is such a natural optimist. He happily accepted all the hardships of life, stayed bright in purgatory, and then sang a song about life.
Later, Su Shi was excluded and exiled to Huizhou, where he could not even eat pork. Fortunately, a sheep was killed every day in the market, so he sent someone to buy some unwanted sheep spines.
Unexpectedly, Su Shi left us a famous dish-Sheep Scorpion in order to satisfy his craving and have a rare tooth.
In his letter to his younger brother, he wrote: I dare not compete with officials to buy it. When I ask the butcher, I will buy his spine, and there is a little meat between his bones. I will cook with hot wine and salt at will. Eat lightly and pick your teeth all day.
Life is full of hardships, but he can make life bloom in hardships.
Besides scorpions, litchi is also his favorite:
Eat lychees
300 lychees a day, I will grow up to be a Lingnan person without hesitation.
The result was hemorrhoids, which became more and more serious, but he ignored those and continued to eat. In order not to take medicine, I also made my own Fuling cake, which is the best way to treat hemorrhoids and eat litchi.
After three years in Huizhou, he was banished to Danzhou, Hainan, a more remote place. Climate and environment are not important. For Su Shi, the biggest blow to him is that there is no meat to eat.
But it doesn't matter. On his way to find prey everywhere, the appearance of oysters opened the door to his new world. He bluntly said: both meat and pulp are cooked with wine and taste beautiful.
I also wrote a very serious letter to tell my son: Be careful not to tell anyone every time I resign, for fear that the gentleman in the north will hear me, strive for Dongpo's actions, beg to belittle Hainan and share the beauty with me. ?
Su Shi can freely switch between various identities all his life, although he can't? Don't rejoice in things, don't grieve for yourself? This kind of life is the most open-minded, but he can get up after falling down like a toddler.
After several demotions, he should have been a frustrated life, but he ate wonderfully. This open-minded attitude has to be admired.
