The two chatted for a while, and the maidservants brought the meal to the table.

Looking at the crescent-like thing in the bowl, Lu Bu was a little dazed, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

Not only him, but also the well-informed Yan Xin, who was a little hesitant, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and couldn't start for a long time, obviously it was the first time he had seen this kind of food.

There is a small dish next to the large bowl with soy sauce and vinegar seasoning, is this to be used for dipping?

Yan Wei walked into the hall and saw that her husband and brother had not eaten, a trace of doubt appeared on her face, and she asked softly: "Husband, but the crescent wontons made by the concubine are not appetizing?" ”

Lu Bu picked one up with a bamboo chopstick, stared at it carefully for a while, and then asked his wife: "This thing is called a crescent wonton?" ”

Yan Wei nodded, speaking of this, I have to mention the doctor in the county, Zhang Zhongjing.

Wuyuan is cold in winter, and the people are very susceptible to wind cold, and frostbite and sores on hands and feet are commonplace. Not long ago, the little guy also frostbitten his ears and had a runny nose.

Zhang Yilang opened the bottom of the seed, and then took the medicinal herbs and decocted them.

After the decoction is cooked, it is served in a bowl, and the little guy refuses to drink the clinker, even if he pinches his nose and fills his mouth, the little guy can't swallow it, and vomits all over his body.

Yan Wei, who is a mother, saw it in her eyes, her face was full of sadness and worry, not to mention how uncomfortable she was.

If a horse doesn't drink water, how can he force it to bow its head?

It's just that the little bell has a temperament like his father, and what he doesn't like, even if you say it's heavenly, it's not easy to use.

Later, it was the method that Zhang Yilang thought of, rolling out the dough into thin slices, then chopping the herbs, mixing it with the honey that the little guy likes to eat, putting it in boiling water to cook, and then taking it out for the little guy to eat after the medicinal properties melt into the dough.

Sure enough, the little guy enjoyed it very much, and ate three in a row, and he was still unsatisfied.

Maybe Zhang Zhongjing didn't expect that this method of coaxing the little guy to drink medicine would be passed down to future generations and named 'dumplings' by later generations.

The little one's chilblains soon healed, but a new problem arose.

The little guy refuses to eat meat, not even millet porridge mixed with meat grains, what is this!

She is growing her body, and she can't eat meat.

Yan Wei is a smart woman, thinking of Zhang Yilang's method not long ago, she simply came to learn and sell, cook by herself, roll out a thin dough, wrap the minced meat foam, and then cook it in a pot.

Not to mention, this trick really works.

Because its shape resembles a crescent moon and there are no holes around its body, it is named crescent wonton.

After hearing the reason, Lu Bu praised his wife on the spot, and then couldn't wait to taste the taste of this crescent chaos.

He put the captured crescent wonton into a small dish and dipped it in sauce vinegar, and was about to twist it up and put it in his mouth, but he saw the little guy in his arms crawling over to the table, and shouted with bright eyes: "Goo~Goo~"

Whenever the little one shouts 'coo', it means that she also wants to eat.

Lu Bu didn't relent, he pushed the little guy back with his left hand, and let her hold her arm fluttering, like a bargain between businessmen, and said with a smile: "You have eaten so many times, this time, let Daddy go once, how about it?" ”

The little bell naturally couldn't understand this large string of languages, and danced with his little hands, as if he wanted to grab the crescent wonton in his mouth.

Lu Bu was afraid that she would be hot, so he firmly fixed his daughter in his arms, and threw the wontons in the small dish into his open mouth with his right hand.

Suddenly, an unprecedented touch bloomed on the tip of the tongue, it was a delicious taste that is difficult to describe in words, and the aroma of meat with seasonings was even more delicious than the fat sheep when cooking.

Swallowed into the stomach, a warm heat flows through the internal organs, as if the whole person is warm.

It's really a memorable aftertaste.

Lu Bu picked up another one, ignored the strong protest of the daughter in his arms, chewed it again and savored it.

…………

The back is temporarily owed, and it will be changed tomorrow, but today I am really sleepy and can't stay up...... Sorry, sorry.

In the long process of its development, dumplings have a variety of names, such as "prison pills", "flat food", "dumpling bait" and "powder horn" in ancient times. It was called "crescent moon wonton" during the Three Kingdoms period, "wonton" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "glaive-shaped wonton" in the Tang Dynasty, "slots" in the Song Dynasty, and "flat food" in the Yuan Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty; In the Qing Dynasty, it was called "dumplings". Dumplings originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and were pioneered by Zhang Zhongjing, a "medical saint" from Nanyang, Henan Province, in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, dumplings were medicinal, and Zhang Zhongjing wrapped some cold-dispelling herbs on the dough to treat diseases (mutton, pepper, etc.) to avoid chilblains on the ears of patients.

Dumplings originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and were pioneered by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. Dumplings mostly use cold water and flour as a medium, mix the noodles and water together, knead them into a large coarse dough, cover them with a dry wet gauze or towel, place them for about an hour, cut them with a knife or pick them by hand into a number of small doughs, knead them into a long strip with a diameter of about 3 cm, cut them with a knife or pick them by hand into a small dough agent, roll these small noodles into a slightly thicker dumpling skin in the middle with a small rolling pin, wrap the filling, knead it into a crescent moon or horn shape, boil the cold water first, wrap it into a pot and use a colander or soup spoon (the convex side is facing up in turn). Draw an arc along the edge of the pot counterclockwise or clockwise to prevent the dumplings from sticking, and cook until the dumplings float to the surface of the water (if it is a meat filling, add a little cold water when boiling and then boil, repeat two or three times). Dumpling wrappers can also be made with hot noodles, puff pastry or rice noodles; The filling can be meat or vegetarian, sweet or salty; Mature methods can also be steamed, branded, fried, fried, etc., meat stuffing has three fresh, shrimp, crab roe, sea cucumber, fish, chicken, pork, beef, mutton, etc., vegetarian stuffing is divided into assorted vegetarian filling, ordinary vegetarian stuffing and the like. Dumplings are characterized by thin skin and tender filling, delicious taste, unique shape, and never get tired of eating. The raw materials for the production of dumplings have a complete range of nutrients, and the steaming method ensures less loss of nutrients, and conforms to the connotation of Chinese color, flavor and food culture. Dumplings are a kind of folk food with a long history, which is very popular among the people, and there is a saying that "dumplings are not delicious". During the Spring Festival, dumplings have become an indispensable delicacy.

During the Three Kingdoms period, dumplings became a food and were known as "crescent wontons". In the book "Guangya" written by Wei Zhangyi, this food is mentioned. According to the "Guangya" written by Zhang Yi of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, there were already foods called "wontons" shaped like crescent moons, which were basically similar in shape to dumplings.

By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the wonton was "shaped like a glaive moon, and the whole world was eating". It is speculated that after the dumplings were cooked, they were not eaten separately, but mixed with the soup in a bowl, so people at that time called the dumplings "wontons". This way of eating is still popular in some parts of China, such as Henan, Shaanxi and other places where people eat dumplings and put some coriander, chopped green onions, shrimp skin, leeks and other small ingredients in the soup.
