Huangzhou Cold Food Post
Su Shi When he lived in Huangzhou, he often played chess with the monk Jilian of Anguo Temple. One time he played chess until late, Su Shi said that he was hungry, so he asked the monk Jilian, so the master called the little monk to come over, the little monk opened the cabinet, there was a bowl of noodles left in it, the water was dry, the little monk Put the bowl of dried noodles in the small sesame oil. There was a fire in the stove, and the night was dark, and the little monk in charge of making noodles fell asleep involuntarily. When the hungry Su Dongpo couldn't help but go to the kitchen to check it out, the dry noodles in the pot had already been fried to a paste, and the young monk woke up feeling uneasy, while Su Dongpo tasted the noodles with great interest. Pancake, when Su Dongpo eats it, oh my, this thing is delicious, the color is golden yellow, the taste is also very good, it is crispy and crunchy. After eating, Su Dongpo walked to a pastry workshop on the street and told the owner of the workshop. The owner of the workshop did as Su Dongpo said. Because this cake was something that he communicated with Su Dongpo, he named it "Dongpo Cake". , This is how the current Dongpo cakes come.
Dongpo cake, a simple food invention, comforted Su Dongpo who was in distress.Su Dongpo, a very important official, a great scholar praised by the emperor and the world, was imprisoned for more than 130 days for Wutai Poetry Case , and exiled to Huangzhou, Hubei. At that time, the Huangzhou that generously took in Su Dongpo was a desolate place, and an ancient post road connected the desolate Huangzhou to the outside world.
In the face of adversity, but always able to live a life of poverty, Su Dongpo is not the first, nor the last, but he is the one who has done it most vividly.
This is very touching. It doesn't mean that when you are in adversity, you will become a discouraged person, but you use adversity to create wealth for civilization.
He was demoted to Huangzhou. For Su Dongpo, it was a very big setback in his life, but he used his own personality to relieve his anguish, and took this experience of demotion as an opportunity to explore a new way of thinking about himself.
