"Dongpo Collection" records: "Sichuan people value celery, buds, spinach, and mixed dove meat for it."

Spring dove breast is fried turtle dove breast shreds with celery. Later it was called Dongpo Chunjiu.

Su Shi liked mutton soup, so he wrote: "Qin cooks only mutton soup, and Long cuisine has bear wax." He also specially wrote "Ode to Pork": "Wash the pan cleanly, use less water, and the firewood will not smoke.

Don't rush him when he is ripe, he will be beautiful when the fire is sufficient. Huang The pork in the state is as cheap as dirt.

Li Yu's "Ode to Leisure and Food·Drinking and Food"

In the way of sound, silk is not as good as bamboo, and bamboo is not as good as meat, because it is asymptotically natural. What I call the way of eating is that meat is not as good as meat, and meat is not as good as vegetables. It is also a gradual approach to nature. Eating grass, clothing and wood is the custom of ancient times. People can avoid fat and eat vegetables and ferns and enjoy them. The vegetable garden in their belly does not cause sheep to trample on them. This is the same as being a citizen of Emperor Xi and encouraging the Tang and Yu Dynasties, which is consistent with advocating antiques. Those who blame him in the world abandon his good name and do not live in it, so he preaches heresy and says that if the Buddha Dharma is the case, this is wrong. I have compiled a volume of "Drinking and Food", in which I eat meat first and vegetables first. One is to respect frugality and the other is to be old-fashioned. The most important thing is to slaughter and cherish life, and I remember it very much and cannot bear or forget it.
