In February, the weather is warm and cold. In the market, all kinds of stalls are filled with bright green and watery vegetables, which is really attractive. I chatted with my old friend and said that at that time, I cooked porridge in a crock. The old friend replied that it was pleasing to the eye and beautiful. Eating porridge, for me, changes with my mood. I never thought about getting it from the perspective of health care. When I was a child, in summer, my mother often cooked a pot of thick porridge and put it in an enamel basin. When it cooled and solidified, I could dig it out with a spoon and eat it. I long for the coolness of cold porridge. The entrance is soft and slippery. Take a sip carefully and the rice is fragrant and clear. Eating porridge like this is more like a snack. I also learned to chop minced meat, mash preserved eggs and cook preserved egg lean porridge, but I was never satisfied. I always smell of meat when I cook.

Mom doesn't like porridge. She cooks porridge with glutinous rice and eats only one bowl, which is purely a personal taste habit. Glutinous rice, also called glutinous rice, has the effect of nourishing stomach and benefiting qi in health preservation.

Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin wrote "Porridge". I guess not only because he likes it, but also because of the environment in which he lives. Since there is a habit of eating porridge, the Qing dynasty should be the dynasty that paid the most attention to porridge. For example, the porridge shops and restaurants that can be seen everywhere in the streets and lanes are simply pocket-sized compared with the porridge factories and halls with a large number of people in the Qing Dynasty.

Invite people to eat together, so if you have porridge, you are either good friends or very familiar, otherwise you may not know, let's go and have porridge. A bowl of rice porridge, two dishes, three side dishes and a few words of gossip, I enjoyed it very much. I often go to a small shop selling porridge and braised dishes to eat porridge. There is no storefront. This is a passage under the corridor between two houses. Whether it is cold or hot, the small dining table is full of people. There are several coal stoves near the porridge shop, and there is a tall aluminum pot on the stove. There are rice porridge, red bean porridge and mung bean porridge in the pot. When I go to the porridge shop to eat porridge, I always tell my boss that I want bowls of rice porridge, 1000 pieces of kelp and occasionally a duck head. A bowl of rice porridge is moderately warm. If you happen to have a suspected cold, drinking a bowl will make you feel more relaxed. In the twentieth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Xiren felt cold and groggy. After taking two doses of medicine, she sweated at night. She got up early the next morning and had some rice soup to rest. The rice soup Xiren drinks is very thin porridge, and rice and millet can be used for cooking. People who are weak and drink porridge know this, even if they can't take care of themselves. I am in a good mood when I get together with my friends to have porridge, so I can finish a bowl of porridge quickly.

I often eat porridge alone, especially millet porridge. This porridge shop is run by a young couple. From their children's babbling to toddlers, porridge shops have always been in the streets. Going back after a long time, the little guy will already serve a pancake to the guests who order food under the command of his parents. I usually go to this porridge shop in summer, eat a bowl of millet porridge and a pancake quietly, and then go for a walk in the park next to the porridge shop. Whether I am worried or depressed, at least, I have retreated at that moment.

Cooking a good bowl of porridge is very particular. In the "rice porridge list" of "Suiyuan Food List", Yuan Mei wrote: Seeing water and seeing rice is not porridge; See rice but not water, not porridge. It will make water and rice harmonious and soft, and then it is called porridge. Cooking porridge at home is nothing more than a personal habit, with more water or rice, as long as you like. Lu You likes porridge very much. He wrote the poem "Eating Porridge": Everyone in the world is older than others, but he didn't realize that it was now for many years. I had to follow the popular method and only give porridge to the gods. Guess the poet's meaning, this porridge is like grass to relieve worries, and a bowl is comfortable. Not to mention Dongpo layman who is good at eating and drinking. It is said that the laity has eaten the porridge cooked in Wuxi Gong Mi with soybean milk, but they don't know it upside down, but they know that it really tastes like this in the world.

Before becoming a monk, Master Hongyi fasted at Tiger Running Temple for 2 1 day, which was an important turning point in his life. In the diary of Master's fasting, we can see the changes of breakfast every morning, from one bowl of porridge to half a bowl of porridge, and then to half a bowl of porridge. Look at the master's notes of Chen Bing1February 2: Learn Chinese characters early in the morning and sit still as usual. Breakfast, half a bowl of gruel. Chinese food, change to a bowl of porridge and vegetables. At night, when you are on an empty stomach, your stomach is burning. Firm belief, western figures, sit-in. The spirit is a little weak, and people look thin in the mirror. Dinner, porridge, half a small bowl. Go to bed at six. When I read the master's diary after my age, I suddenly felt a slight shock. On the fifth day after Master Hongyi's fast, "the mind is open and the food is delicious." Seeing the light and seeing the true taste also requires heart. "At present, Buddha porridge complements each other, and more importantly, it feels that Jiangcun is a new festival." This is the scene of Lu Fangweng writing Laba porridge and applying porridge. The custom of sending porridge began in temples, and then gradually spread in many stories related to Laba porridge, and some were related to the Buddha becoming a Buddha under a bodhi tree. When Sakyamuni became a Buddha, it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Before the Buddha became a Buddha, a shepherdess brought him porridge cooked with glutinous rice balls. After restoring his physical strength, Sakyamuni took a bath in the river and meditated under the bodhi tree for seven days and seven nights, becoming a Buddha.
