There is also a saying about Valentine's Day, which is about Valentine being a Christian martyr.

Valentine is said to be one of the earliest Christians, and at that time, being a Christian was a very dangerous thing because that meant danger and death.

In an operation to avoid arresting those in Roman power, Valentine was captured by Roman soldiers and sent to prison to await trial in order to cover up other Christians.

In prison, he met the prison warden's daughter, a blind blind girl. Valentine helped the blind girl heal her eyes (there is another saying that when he was about to be executed, Valentine discovered herbal medicine that could cure the blind girl, and then the blind girl's eyes were restored to light), so that she could not live in the darkness.

Soon, the warden's daughter fell in love with Valentine. Valentine also had a good impression of this very beautiful girl and often told her her own stories and Christian teachings.

Unfortunately, not long after, the Roman rulers were very scared when they heard about this incident, especially Valentine, who could cure blindness, so they ordered Valentine to be executed immediately.

According to legend, on the morning of the impending execution, Valentine wrote a lovely farewell letter to the warden's daughter, signed by: from lure rvalentine (from your Valentine).

Later, the warden's daughter, the former blind girl, planted a red flowered apricot tree in front of his tomb to express her grief.

Because that day was February 14th, Christianity later named it St. Valentine Day to commemorate Valentine. This day is Valentine's Day that everyone knows now.

This statement is highly recognized by some sad and sad modern young people, especially women. This tortuous love story makes them believe it. Especially in the United States and other places, the concept of Valentine's Day has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

However, abroad, there is another version of the explanation about the origin of Valentine's Day.

It is said that in the ancient Roman period, February 14 was a festival designed to express respect for Jonah. Jonah was the queen of the king of the Roman gods, and the Romans also regarded her as the god of women and marriage. The next February 15th was called the "Festal of Lupasala", which was used to express respect for other gods under Jonah's rule.

In ancient Rome, boys had extremely strict life rules and had to start receiving various trainings from childhood. Their lives were completely separated from girls.

However, on the Lupasala Day, the boys can choose a girl they like and carve her name on a vase.

In this way, when the festival is celebrated again, the young man can dance with the girl he likes, enjoy the food, and celebrate the festival together.

If the selected girl is interested in the young man, they can pair up one and eventually fall in love when they grow up, walk into the temple, and become a couple.

Later generations therefore designated February 14 as Valentine's Day.

Even in the West, Valentine's Day was truly widely accepted by the world after the seventeenth century.

As for the spread to our country, it was even more after the reform and opening up, but this festival has developed extremely rapidly in our country. In the eyes of young people, the importance can almost be compared with the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Generally speaking, on Valentine's Day in my country, boys traditionally give girls roses and chocolates. Girls don't have to give back gifts to boys.

In addition to giving gifts, the two will usually find a romantic place to enjoy a delicious meal for two. In the subsequent program, they will depend on their own wishes to see what the man and woman think.

However, because this festival is so valued by young people, it has also aroused doubts from some domestic conservatives. The main reason is that it will dilute the young people's celebration and attention to our country's traditional festivals.

In addition, the word "lover" is easily misunderstood in China. Lovers mainly refer to mistresses in China, which means a mistress, and the meaning of a lover. It means a relationship between men and women other than a legal couple, so it is inevitable that they are criticized.

The country that likes Valentine's Day the most is probably South Korea. They set up an exclusive Valentine's Day on the 14th of each month, which is extremely strange.

For example, January 14th is Diary Valentine's Day, March 14th is White Valentine's Day, April 14th is Black Valentine's Day, June 14th is Family Valentine's Day, October 14th is Wine Valentine's Day, etc.

This weird country is definitely an existence that ordinary people cannot understand! Arrogance and inferiority coexist, and they also lack security. At the same time, they are good at self-hypnosis, which is comparable to the ancient Yelang state-owned ones in our country!

Xiao Zheng's speech shocked everyone present! This shy little man who doesn't talk much and always keeps his head doing the work in his hands is so knowledgeable? How did he know this from?

Looking at the person standing there talking, everyone could not associate Xiao Zheng’s previous image with him. Is this the legendary model of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and slapping the face?

At the end of the meeting, my uncle directly made the decision to let Xiao Zheng take charge of the program and become the director of the program. Gao Feng was appointed as the producer of the program to comfort his injured heart and self-esteem.

After two days of intense production, the program was completed quickly. The effect after the broadcast was not as good as expected. After the follow-up visits and random sampling surveys showed that less than 10% of the villagers thought the program was very good.

Most people, especially older people, think that this Valentine's Day is a bad thing for children, and do this thing?

So many people simply change the channel when playing this program on TV stations, which made Gao Feng very depressed, and he sighed: The generation gap is too deep and too wide!

Wang Yong didn't watch this episode either. In fact, his views on Valentine's Day are similar to those of the elderly in the village.

In the eyes of many people in China, lovers are not a good word. However, after the reform and opening up, in the eyes of many people, even the moon abroad is rounder than the domestic social trend, Valentine's Day is unsuccessful and popular, and many people are accepted by fashionistas.

After that, many businesses hyped up their own interests for their own interests, which completely hyped up Valentine's Day in China! Like many festivals, this day has become a day for merchants to make a fortune.

But in Wang Yong's impression, lovers are usually associated with third parties, mistresses, and bad people who destroy the relationship between husband and wife. Even after he understood the origin of Valentine's Day and had two plots, this idea has not changed.

Sometimes he also thought about this question, why did he have this idea. Later, after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that it was probably because he was a nationalist, and he felt that everything was good for his country, and he was very disgusted with foreign things from the bottom of his heart, including these foreign festivals.

In the past two days, Wang Yong has been thinking about a delicacy in addition to working in the mountains and looking at his animals. A delicacy that he could only eat during the Chinese New Year a long time ago.

There are many specific names, but the most common one is called cabbage rolls (that is, sauerkraut rolls, locals call sauerkraut). It is a very wonderful and time-consuming dish.

The method is simple, but it is relatively time-consuming and laborious when it is really made. This is probably why this dish is rarely seen in recent years. Because materialism is prevalent in the entire society, everyone is impetuous and no longer willing to spend more time enjoying the food.

First, choose a pickled sauerkraut with a knife in the middle, just the leaves part. Disassemble the leaves one by one and spread them flat on the chopping board.

Then I will chop the meat filling, and there is nothing to say about this. Just make the meat filling for ordinary meatballs. After the meat filling is accurate, you can make sauerkraut rolls.

Use a spoon or hand to dig out a piece of the meat filling, put it on the sauerkraut leaves, and fold the sauerkraut leaves like a spring roll. Wrap the meat filling.

The wrapped pickled cabbage rolls are not boiled in water or fried, but are rarely steamed! They are similar to steamed dumplings, usually fifteen minutes is enough.

The prepared sauerkraut rolls are very delicious. Take a bite and the sour taste is full of the strong aroma of the meat filling, plus the juice of the steamed sauerkraut and the meat filling. The taste is definitely something that people who like to eat sourness cannot forget!

The key is that this dish makes you feel no greasy at all. The sourness of sauerkraut neutralizes the greasy meat. It also has a hint of sweetness in the sourness, so that people who like to eat it will never forget the taste in their lifetime.

Because compared to meatballs, this method is really time-consuming and laborious, so this dish has been nowhere to be seen at the New Year banquet for many years. Wang Yong occasionally discovered this dish when he was having dinner in a restaurant in the town.

Two days ago, Wang Yong went to the town to do business and happened to meet Zhu Wei, an old classmate who was the director of the town police station. If you want to say that this old classmate is definitely young and promising. Although there are people above others, you must have the ability to become a director of this department before the age of 30.

After a long time conversation between the two, the enthusiastic old classmate said that it was rare that both of them were free today and insisted on inviteing Wang Yong to dinner in the town.

It is difficult to refuse the kindness, and Wang Yong is very responsible and capable of this classmate, and he also attaches great importance to it. In addition, when he discovered the wine cellar containing a century-old Erguotou in the village, this classmate immediately stood up to support himself and pulled out his gun practice.

After all, I owed him a favor. Thinking that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, I followed him into a restaurant in the town.

According to Zhu Wei, this restaurant was run by a master's house in a village below the town. The master worked as a chef in his early years in the town government canteen and a series of factories opened in the town government.

Later, after he was laid off and returned to the village, people from village to village often asked him to help him with the banquet. He was still very famous near their village.

Now this hotel is run by his youngest daughter and son-in-law. It was just opened this year. Because the prices are fair and the food is very good, the business has been very good since its opening.

The food here is different from other families. Their meals are made in local home-cooked dishes, especially some dishes that have been left in people's memory. There are several dishes on their menu, among which sauerkraut rolls are the most famous dish.

It was at this meal that Wang Yong ate a lot of the taste in his childhood memories. In addition to this impressive sauerkraut roll, there was another dish that made him savor it.

It has a very ordinary but vivid name, called egg bun meat. The method is also very simple, which is to cook the eggs and peel them, then cut them in the middle, and dig off the egg yolks.

Then stuff the prepared meat filling into the egg white sunken, smooth it, then sprinkle some stewed meat soup and steam it in a cage. Put it in pairs or flat sides downwards and put it in a bowl, and then serve it on the table.

This is a more creative dish among local dishes, right? And with the living conditions at that time, it was definitely a very luxurious and hard dish!

Egg and meat were both luxurious ingredients at that time, and they were made into one dish. At the banquet, it was not the kind of family that had a very wealthy family that had a good family. In the era when they had just had a full meal, they would definitely not have this dish. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
