Those who know the history of pepper transmission will know that they are right. Personal taste has nothing to do with the rich and poor, but the overall eating habits of a region are still somewhat related to the rich and poor in the region. Chili peppers first entered in the eastern coastal area of . They have been used as ornamental plant for hundreds of years, and only after entering the western provinces gradually became a condiment. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been a rich town of fish and rice. They have rich ingredients and do not require heavy taste to serve, so it is naturally difficult to popularize them. In recent decades, spicy dishes have swept the whole country, which has a lot to do with population mobility and the better life of people, the heavier the taste, the more they eat, the more trickier they are.
people who were exiled to Lingnan did not eat spicy food. The history of eating peppers is no more than two hundred years. To put it bluntly, was eaten in the middle and late period of Qing Dynasty . Although peppers were introduced in Ming Dynasty , they were first treated as green plants to watch [cover face].
chili is quite beautiful as a green plant, especially in recent years colored pepper [laughs]. When it comes to spicy, you know chili peppers. What about dogwood in the past? What about mustard ?
The poor in Lingnan mainly eat salty food. salted fish and cabbage are essential for the poor. A piece of salted fish is enough for the whole family to eat, and so is fermented bean curd. A small piece of rice can be put into a big bowl of rice [see] [A flash of inspiration]. Now it is eaten by the rich, and the salted fish are made of sea fish and are not cheap. Those who escape and migrate like to eat salty food. If you don’t eat spicy food for a meal, you can fade out of your mouth. [Cover your face]. The Lingnan area has a suitable climate and abundant resources. There were no chili when I was exiled. If there were any, I would probably eat spicy food in Guangdong.
People are really right, I don’t know why some people are so excited. There is nothing shameful about the region being between rich and poor, and rich and underdeveloped. What is shameful is that it does not admit that it is backward and is still old and lazy all day long. Don’t think about not changing the status quo. In ancient times, places where the diet was light or sweet were generally rich, and sugar was very expensive in ancient times.
Then why were all salt merchants in ancient times, and I had never heard of sugar merchants. You can’t eat sugar, you must eat salt. Besides, the concept of sugar has not been invented now, and it is even more expensive. Candy can be grown in the fields by itself, and salt is monopolized. There has never been a shortage of sugar, but a shortage of salt. In fact, it is similar to the past for ordinary people. Because wine needs more than food to be brewed, food is a necessity and wine is a luxury. Salt is a must-have, which is related to people's livelihood and needs to be controlled. Sugar is your higher pursuit of taste after satisfying food and clothing. It is also because its production process is more complex than salt and the workload of the material source is greater, so sugar is relatively scarce and more expensive than salt. There were no current equipment in ancient times, so sugar could not be made, and the sugar raw materials were not as easy to make. So in ancient times, salt trading was illegal, and sugar trading was okay, right? It was ancient times, salty, spicy and delicious.
spicy I don’t know. My hometown doesn’t eat spicy food. It’s really salty. When I was a child, my hometown was not very economically. The vegetables were indeed salty, such as fermented tofu, pickles, sesame fried salt, etc. Because there are no vegetables, salty foods can be served. . No one eats this way now, and they like light flavors. For example, amaranth stems [covering my face] I like to eat them at home, and I also like to eat them. I took a bucket to my mother-in-law’s house in Hubei, and she said they were as smelly as shit! This is fine, the head of the vegetable is even more stinky. It tastes so good that it is dozens of meters away when it is burned. This is also very delicious.
Are you talking about the moldy cabbage stalk head? I also like to eat [cover your face].
Taizhou ? This is a specialty of my hometown. . People from other places never eat. In the past, I used to eat with colleagues from other places. I ordered this dish at a restaurant, let alone eat it. He said, if you order this dish, I don’t want to eat it anymore, it’s a big deal. . [cover face][cover face][cover face][cover face]. No, it mainly saves food. . For example, if you stir-fried salt with one pound of green vegetables and one pound of sesame seeds, is a family of 3 people enough to eat for a family of green vegetables? A family of three can’t finish the meals of fried sesame salt per pound. . It's salty.
Since I was a child, people in my hometown basically did not eat spicy food. Mainly Huaiyang cuisine. Until now, we still can't get used to spicy food. Coordinate Jiangsu coastal area .
taste is mainly a geographical problem. I've seen a similar statement before. Spicy as a harsh condiment can partially replace salt (because salt was scarce in ancient times and was more expensive as a heavy tax material).And it can cover up the infreshness of the ingredients.
Chengdu has always been the country of Tianfu. Isn’t the ingredients rich? Isn’t it because of the humidity?
Don’t look at it for a few years, look at it fifty or sixty years ago. If you want to eat spicy food, it is better to eat Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou.
The soil and water problems, some places are too humid, and the body cannot bear it if you don’t eat some chili. Chili peppers have been eaten for no more than two hundred years. Moreover, in the south, they are all humid and hot . Why are they only central and southern and southwest areas? Isn't the southeast hot? There is also the Northwest region where chili peppers are also eaten, which obviously has nothing to do with dampness and heat.
He was right! But what we are talking about is not about this era, it should be from a long time ago! It is said that hot pot is what the poor used to eat, but the rich people threw away the ingredients that they didn't eat, and the poor picked them up and made them into hot pot. [cover their faces]. Is Wang Zhiwen a food expert? This view really cannot be agreed with! Spicy places such as Xianghu Lake, Shugan, and Ganzhou, northwest and northeast, have been around for a long time. It has only been the past twenty or thirty years since the southern coastal areas that do not eat spicy food.
Don’t forget that Shenzhen used to be a big fishing village, relying on policies and geographical advantages. Jiangnan has been a rich place since ancient times. The coastal plains have abundant products, so the list is sweet, and the mountainous areas have low yields so they are salty and spicy. Generally, areas that like to eat spicy food are mostly humid and cold climates, such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Xiangning. Eating spicy food can eliminate dampness and coldness. The taste of eating has been a long-term accumulation of living habits based on factors of the regional environment, rather than the gap between the rich and the poor!
The heavy-tasting areas in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia are indeed poorer than those in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian and Guangdong [Smile]. Living habits determined by geographical location have nothing to do with wealth and poverty.
geographical location determines the overall wealth and poverty.
