Interesting dinner-the song of the Song dynasty's soda fountain

Kaifeng has three large cold drink shop, called "Cao from food" (food is not food, but food, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, wontons, pies and the like, are from food), located in the rose Finch door and two outside the old song, name test loss. All three shops selling ice, cold plasma, licorice, drug papaya, papaya, lychee cream cold water the water in the baby in the baby like a cold drink.

"Ice" is song version of sorbet, "cool pulp" is iced of fermentation rice soup, "licorice soup" is iced licorice water, "drug papaya" is with honey and several species Chinese herbal medicines put papaya pickled a, again into boiling water in Cook to white, pound into mud, then and ice water mixed uniform of cool beverage; "water papaya" compared simple, papaya cut skin, to stuffed, only left pulp, cut small square,

bubble to ice water inside on into has; "cold water Lai Chi Kok cream" and Lai Chi Kok basically doesn't matter, main is with ebony through results rubber, Then pectin into ice water.

These cold drinks without ice, but no modern ice-making equipment in the Song dynasty, where did hot get to ice it? The answer is: catch in winter when ice ice deposit in advance. Where? Ice and ice on the ground. Song of ice a lot, the Court has a large ice, to dispense ice in summer to the Empress and Minister; there are small ice, hire people to break ice in the River on a cold day, put good back to the ice, hot days, out of sales.

Song and no refrigerator, ice the ice will melt. In order to solve this problem, the song ice cream parlor with a double barrel, under the base, with a dome, cupro-nickel interface package, put the ice cubes in a sandwich, two or three days would not melt.

Cold drink just the large barrel cold, when it is not refrigerated, the bucket also when the air conditioning-room four corners put a, open the cover, cold strands appear, can cool down.

Song cold no coloring, preservative, technology standards, at that time did not leave juice and pseudocarp fruit capsules, logically would be safe; but as I said before, the song cold drinks with ice is ice from the River, contains a lot of impurities, used to cool down without any problem, drinking is likely to stomach.

The recorded history of the filial piety in the Song dynasty and ceremonial master application master a conversation point. Filial piety in the Song dynasty: "before I drink ice water too much, suddenly under the storm, calm down. "Means to eat cold a few days ago I ate too much, get diarrhea, fortunately, does not pull out. Shi Shidian says: "you are the Supreme rulers of the State, every action related to rivers State and people's lives, do not like eating cold drinks on their own. "Filial piety in the song" deep ", he agreed.

"Snow and ice" like sorbet. Song dynasty copper basin a basin of water for people in the winter, the sugar in the water, you can also add some fruit juice and pectin, and end to the outside to make it freeze. After the whole basin of water were frozen over, transported to the Icehouse, the following summer cut into small pieces (or carved into small animals), sold in the ice cream parlor.

"Cold plasma" made with rice, both rice and millet, thick half pot on the boil, boiled sticky added later half a pot of cold water, mix well, pour into Bowl and lid make it natural fermentation. Five or six days, rice saccharification, pour out thick, as long as rice juice; with small vases holding rice juice, Zhen Zhen, ice bucket, cold plasma, sweet and sour is good to drink. Past Festival's grave, in addition to relatives posed for, and sprinkle a few "cool water of rice" to wandering ghosts, cold water for rice is actually a semi-fermented rice juice, but without the cold, not a cold drink.

In addition there are two kinds of cold drinks, are called "drink water" and "boiled water".

Thirsty water of making process special trouble: find a heap Lai Chi Kok, or a heap Apple, and plum, and orange, and Bayberry, and grape,, anyway General fertilizer tender more juice of fruit are can, put they wash NET, peeled to nuclear, only left juice and pulp pour into pot in, plus water, fire burn open, again modified into fire slowly through, through to is sticky pot of when, again filter a again, put just no optional net of waste filter off, continues to through, side through side stirred, until put water all through dry, pot in only left a big mission sticky heavy of, and Can pull the filaments of a translucent substance we now call it "pectin". Ladle out of pectin, and put into a small porcelain jar, sealed tight, and any time you want to drink cold drinks, ladle some out from the jar, and ice-water mix, is to drink water.

And thirsty compared to water, making boiled water is simple. As its name suggests, making boiled water should the water is cooked (boiled), but this must not be boiled water, only water. Song dynasty people water is being boiled leaves, leaves or orange NET Ye Tao, dry, slightly stir into the Pan, and boil a pot of water, a pinch of leaf in, cover the Pan stew for a while, pulled away the leaves, add some sugar, finally put the water into the pot, hoisted into the deep. This drink is very healthy, very cool, and there is also a light, natural aromas.

When I was a kid in East Home farmers harvesting wheat, each farm house like new bought large brooms picking pieces of bamboo leaves, cleaned, fire a bamboo scent, bring tea, can stay cool. I think this habit is descended from the Song dynasty.
