The food culture of the Three Kingdoms period, what people ate during the Three Kingdoms period

The following is a list of what people ate during the Three Kingdoms period from several aspects:

1. Staple food. Southern region.

It is rainy and the climate is relatively hot, mostly rice fields, and the main food is rice; Rainfall is scarce in the north, and the staple food is millet, that is, millet.

2. Meat. Common livestock such as chickens, ducks, and pigs are common. In the south, there is more water, and fish are more abundant. However, during the Three Kingdoms period, cattle slaughter was generally not available, because at that time there were already iron ploughs and oxen for ploughing.

3. Beverages. During the Three Kingdoms period, the only drink that people often drank was alcohol. Shu Han.

Liu Biao's tomb has unearthed a lot of drinking utensils, which also proves that in fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, people were more fond of drinking, and even ordinary people took excess grain to drink wine in their own homes.

Staple food. In ancient China, the general rulers were heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, which means that at that time, the development of agriculture in our country was still relatively good, and the cultivation technology was also gradually improved. In the Three Kingdoms period, there are regional differences in the staple food that people eat, because the south is rainy and the climate is relatively hot, so it is mostly rice fields, and the grain that bears fruit is what we now call rice.

A general belonging to Cao Wei's camp, named Xiahou, at that time, the weather in the south was dry, it rarely rained, and locusts caused a shortage of food, so the life of the people at that time was very difficult, so this person led the soldiers to start building water conservancy, and the people also relied on this to solve the problem of food and clothing. In the north, rain is relatively scarce, so the staple food is millet, which is what we now call millet.

It is said that at that time, the refugees passed by, and there was no grass, and even more so, it had reached the point of cannibalism. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others openly treated ordinary people as "vegetable people." (as a person of food)" did not improve until the later period of the Three Kingdoms.

As for pasta, it was only invented by Brother Pig Residue Yin when Zhuge Liang, the main food of people at that time was millet (millet), meat was generally only barbecue-based, and wine was also one or two degrees, which was very monotonous.

No matter what kind of person you are, you have to eat every day, otherwise you will starve to death. It's just that everyone eats differently, some people are very particular, some people are not particular at all, but I believe there are still more people who are particular.

Now that our living conditions have improved, everyone has a lot of time to choose what they like to eat, so have you ever eaten the 3 delicacies invented by Zhuge Liang?

I believe that many friends at this time are skeptical, because I can't believe that Zhuge Liang, who was a smart model during the Three Kingdoms period, would invent food.

The first delicacy is grilled fish, which I believe everyone has already eaten, and it is really delicious. It is said that Zhuge Liang was not invited out of the mountains and forests by Liu Bei, and invented a dish, and even if he went to the battlefield, he often took the time to let people make this dish before giving it to him, and others were full of praise after tasting it.

The first delicacy is steamed bread, in fact, the original name is "barbarian head", I heard that it was because the sacrifice needed to use the barbarian's head at that time, Zhuge Liang felt cruel, so he let people make the barbarian's head with noodles, and finally developed into the steamed bun we often eat, which is really fragrant.

The second delicacy is Juntun pot helmet, a traditional snack in Sichuan, I have not eaten it, but people say it is delicious. It is said that Zhuge Liang invented a simple delicacy to help the soldiers solve the problem of food and clothing.

This should be legendary, for example, like steamed buns, it is said that Zhuge Liang invented, but of course it is difficult to find an exact basis for this, and there should be nothing else, after all, in that era, like spices, or food, were relatively scarce, so there was no food, and it generally appeared when the material was relatively rich.

The food at that time is only some speculation from the present, because the food materials can be sought, but the taste is not available, just like Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" is very close to modern times, but the dishes inside are difficult to completely restore, even if the raw materials are complete, the method and taste can only be seen by the benevolent and the wise, so to say that the food of the Three Kingdoms period can only be understood from the food at that time.

The famous delicacy of the Three Kingdoms period should be the steamed bun invented by Zhuge Kongming.
