Zhugelianghe mantou

Steamed bread is the largest branch of China pasta family. There are two kinds, one is white steamed bread without stuffing, and the other is colored steamed bread with stuffing, also called steamed buns. There is little difference in the size of white steamed bread; There are many kinds of buns, such as meat buns, vegetable buns, bean paste buns and soup buns. , distinguished by stuffing. Steamed bread has a common feature, which is steamed with fermented flour as the main material. Steamed bread is simple to make, easy to carry, soft and delicious, and can also be made into various flavors as needed.

The origin of steamed bread has been 1700 years, and its creator is Zhuge Liang, a household name.

In the autumn of 225, the third year of Jianxing in Shu and Han Dynasties, Zhuge Liang attacked the enemy, captured Meng Huo in seven ways, and moved back to North Korea after making good relations with the southwest ethnic minorities. When the army arrived in Lushui, it was suddenly overcast and stormy, and the army could not cross the river. Zhuge Liang is proficient in astronomy and is very familiar with the weather changes, but this sudden change puzzled him. He was busy consulting Meng Huo, who came to see me off, and knew the geography and climate of this area like the back of his hand. Meng Huo said: "There have been wars here for years, and many soldiers have died. These ghosts who died in a foreign land often come out to make trouble. Anyone who wants to cross the water here must sacrifice. " Zhuge Liang thought that these soldiers left the body in the field for the benefit of the country. Now that the war is over and the soldiers have won, they will always be lonely souls in a foreign land. It is appropriate to pay tribute to them. He asked Meng Huo what he used as a sacrifice. Meng Huo said: "It will be safe to offer 7749 heads, and there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year." When Zhuge Liang heard this, his heart sank: since these troubles are all ghosts, if 49 heads are used to pay homage, aren't they 49 ghosts for no reason? In this way, more and more ghosts accumulate, and there will never be peace in Lushui. Besides, it's too expensive to sacrifice your head.

Zhuge Liang decided not to sacrifice Lushui with his head. When he came to the Green Water River, he saw Yin Qi everywhere, rough waves, soldiers and horses in a state of panic. It seems impossible without sacrifice. The local natives said to Zhuge Liang, "The last time the Prime Minister crossed the Lushui River, the ghost called out to God at the water's edge every night. From dusk to dawn, there is no end. " Zhuge Liang thought to himself, it seems that the crime lies with me. How can innocent soldiers and civilians be implicated and decide to sacrifice themselves? Zhuge Liang thought hard and finally came up with a wonderful way to replace the head with another object. He ordered the soldiers to kill cattle and sheep, cut the beef and mutton into paste, mix it into meat stuffing, wrap it in flour, make it look like a human head and steam it in a steamer. This kind of sacrifice is called "human head". Zhuge Liang took the steamed bread made of meat and flour to the edge of Lushui, personally put it on the altar, made sacrifices, and then threw it into Lushui one by one. After the sacrifice, Lushui was suddenly enlightened and calm, and the army passed smoothly. Since then, people often use steamed bread as offerings for various sacrifices. Because "head" and "head" are synonyms, "head" was later called "steamed bread". After being eaten as a sacrifice, people get inspiration from it and eat steamed bread. Today, steamed bread is spread all over China and all over the world. As for Zhuge Liang's spirit of loving the people, perhaps not many people know it.

Before Einstein became famous, he lived in poverty and dressed casually. A friend once advised him to buy a coat, otherwise it would be difficult to enter the society. He smiled and replied, "I am unknown. No one knows me even if I dress beautifully." A few years later, Einstein, who became a great scientist, dressed simply as before. His friend once again reminded him to make a decent coat, commensurate with his status. He still smiled and replied, "Even if I dress more casually now, someone will know me."
