I don't know if it's because my family doesn't like being jealous, so there was no vinegar in the seasoning at home when I was a child. At that time, the memory of sour taste came from my own kimchi, which was sour and delicious. I often soak a few cowpeas, a bud of ginger, or chips of radish skin and green vegetables in various kinds of porridge. It was bitter at that time, but now it's always so sweet to think about it.

In addition, the most unforgettable thing is the kidney bean made by grandma with kimchi water, which is delicious, sour and refreshing, and extremely appetizing. It is also a small snack for us to secretly leave one.

What's more, the sourness comes from orchards, cherries, oranges, oranges, plums, apricots, grapes and grapefruit. We can't wait to mature ... there will always be constant expectations in neighboring villages, and it will still be sweet after the teeth are sour. At that time, the taste of fruit was always so rich, bitter, astringent, sour and salty. You are not mistaken. It is salty, slightly green and salty, and of course the small part that begins to mature is sweet. Young people can't wait. Although we know that it will become juicy and sweet when it is ripe, it is already very satisfying compared with the same tasteless and sweet fruit now.

Later, when it grew bigger, the vinegar became more and more ripe. Once, I didn't understand. The color is ugly and the taste is sour. Why do so many people like it? How did it come from? Yes, how did this happen? ...

According to legend, in ancient times, vinegar was invented by Heita, the son of wine saint Du Kang. Du Kang invented wine, and his son Heita did everything in the workshop, carrying water and vats, and gradually learned the technology of brewing. Later, Black Tower felt it was a pity to lose the distiller's grains after making wine, so it was stored and soaked in the jar. On 2 1, as soon as I opened the jar, a smell that I had never smelled before came to my nose. Under the temptation of rich fragrance, Heita tasted it, which was sweet and sour, so it was stored as a "sauce". What is the name of this sauce? Heita named this seasoning "vinegar", adding the word "one" to the number 2 1.

Nowadays, all kinds of vinegars are dazzling, unique in flavor and long in history. They are beauty beauty, healthy, beautifully packaged and fashionable. Ajie simply divided them into the following categories:

Ajie brought salt and sugar in front and added some vinegar today. Wait until all the five flavors are ready, and then serve slowly. Speaking of vinegar, Ajie likes it very much. Unlike some friends who have to drink two cups of vinegar bottles to satisfy their cravings, many dishes always add a few drops. You won't taste sour, but there will be some subtle differences, which will be fresher and sweeter.

Besides, Ajie likes vinegar for a special reason. Vinegar is very sour, not as pleasing as sugar, and everyone likes it. It makes friends with time, can stand loneliness, keep its own character and stand on its own flagpole.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were workshops specializing in brewing vinegar. In the Han dynasty, vinegar began to be produced on a large scale. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the output and sales of vinegar were very large. The famous book Qi Yao Min Shu at that time systematically summarized the experience and achievements of China's working people from ancient times to the Northern Wei Dynasty. There are 22 kinds of vinegar making methods recorded in the book, which is the earliest record of grain vinegar making in existing historical materials in China. In the Zhou Dynasty, in the book "Zhou Li" written by the Duke of Zhou in BC 1058, it was recorded that "acylated people were the officials in charge of the five interests and seven interests". The so-called "Five Qi" refers to the five stages of fermentation in the ancient brewing process in China, and the distiller must be familiar with the brewing process before he can fermented vinegar. At that time, the scale of acyl official system was second only to wine and pulp, which showed that vinegar and vinegar-related products played an important role in the daily diet of emperors. ?
