Chapter 815: Daxian Cracked Cats Have Nine Destiny Food Guangdong
There are cages of live cats, live dogs, and live snakes on the grounds near the roadside of each food stall. The snake spits its core from time to time, making a sound of "hissing", which makes people a little shocking, frightened, retreating, fearing that it will crawl out, and suddenly greets you.
I am a snake, but I have no good feelings for snakes since I was a child. When I was a child, I heard countless legends about snakes, such as snakes swallowing elephants, such as small silver snake grass flying on, triangular head fatal, etc., and there is almost no good anyway. Of course, except for Bai Suzhen, the White Snake Empress. At that time, when I went to the mountain to grazed sheep, I was always careful. Whenever I encountered a snake, I was so scared that I hurried away and walked around. There were older children who beat snakes with stones, I always avoided from a distance, for fear of implicating myself and being retaliated by the snake.
One year, a cousin in my forties had a headache without warning. He went to many hospitals but couldn't see the results. There was no way, so his mother had to go to the Great Immortal and was told that when he was a child, he had stoned a green snake passing by the river at his door. Although he was not killed, he injured the head of the green snake, causing it to have a headache when it was cloudy and rainy. Decades have passed, and the green snake has achieved great success in its cultivation. Now we are here to take revenge on him.
The immortal quickly gave the cracking technique. I heard that it was burning gold and ingots to pray, and it was through some Bodhisattvas who brought a letter. Anyway, he finally solved his headache. The key is that everyone believed that this was true, which also left a very mysterious color for us.
To be honest, Zitong and I never eat these things, mainly because we can't bear it. We can't bear it. We can watch these living creatures be beaten to death in front of you and then peeled off the bones. How cruel.
In addition, I dare not, especially cats. Since childhood, the old man at home said that we humans must accumulate virtue and do good deeds for several lifetimes before we can get a registration with the King of Hell. Finally, we arranged for you to be reincarnated and become a cat. This also indirectly shows that we Chinese never ate cats before, and cats have a high status in our lives.
First of all, this cat was considered a protector of farmland in ancient times and was the guarantee of harvest. Some people laughed and said nonsense. What is the relationship between cats and crop production? At worst, they just look at the food at home and catch a few mice. In fact, it is not the case, as you can see from the literal way, the word "cat" is from "现" and "spring", which means that the animal must have lived among the crops in the farmland.
Then someone asked, why did cats live in the fields? Because in ancient times, there was not much food at home, so naturally it was impossible for mice to have a portion of them. Therefore, mice could only be field mice at that time, hoping to get some food in the fields. The main function of cats is to catch mice that harm the farmland.
You should know that field mice are one of the natural enemies of the harvest of crops in the farming era. Although we now have tens of millions of ways to deal with them, people in ancient times were often powerless, and cats played an important role in eliminating harm. How could we eat such an animal that is of great benefit to us humans?
Secondly, cats and cows have always been considered to be spiritual in our country and are animals that can travel between the yin and yang realms. Cats have recorded in "Shan Hai Jing": "There are beasts, which look like raccoons, and their white tails are called 'Fěi' (fěi), and they can be worried when raised." This means that this beast is like a raccoon, but has a white tail and a mane on its neck. It is called 'Fěi'. People raise it to eliminate sorrow. Why can raising cats eliminate sorrow? It is because it has a gentle personality, likes to snuggle with others, and looks eccentric.
In addition, the reason why cats can be genitalized may also be related to Buddhism. According to records, when the Buddha was preaching to his disciples, a cat squatted under the Buddha's seat and was listening quietly to the Dharma. A disciple asked the Buddha's teachings, could this cat understand the Dharma?
The Buddha replied: "A cat has spirituality, and its fate has nine, and people can only get one. Therefore, the spirituality of cats is beyond human reach."
This is the source of the saying that "cats have nine lives", and humans can only have one life. Since cats have nine lives, they can certainly travel between the Yin and Yang realms.
Third, cats are considered to be demonic, mysterious, and difficult to understand. Unlike dogs, cats are animals that have not been completely domesticated. The saying that cats are the only animals that have no concept of owners in their eyes. When dogs shake their tails and show their responsibilities to their owners, humans will have a sense of accomplishment and may throw a few bones to it. What about cats at this time? Maybe they are hiding in the corner to watch coldly or choose to ignore them, with contempt and disdain on their faces. This makes humans very embarrassed. You eat mine, drink mine, and live in mine, why are you just not ripe? I asked you to dance and let you sing? No, I just let you flatter and flatter, I can't do this?
The characteristics of cats determine that when they are with it, people often cannot grasp it. It seems that cats naturally have a kind of magic. The first second is warm, but the next second may be furious, giving you a mouthful or a claw. In addition, cats are moving in the dark night, silently, and the luster of their eyes makes people reluctant to look at them...
If it does not receive the respect it deserves, it will resolutely choose to leave humans and disappear immediately. Even if you throw all the charming eyes on it when you see it again, it will not pay attention to you. The independent cat parade and aloof style make it full of mystery, and humans seem to never be able to crack it.
If we go further, why most Chinese people do not eat cat meat, it may be related to the fact that cats often go in and out of the night and eat dirty and disease-borne mice as their main food. People have reason to suspect that cats also carry various unknown diseases and bacteria, so for their own health, they choose not to eat cat meat.
As for people who eat cat meat in Guangdong, they are very famous throughout the country. In fact, it is just the past 100 years. There is a very famous dish in Guangdong called "Dragon and Tiger Fight". It is said that it was just founded in the late Qing Dynasty, which means that this dish was not available in Lingnan before.
I had an opportunity to eat cat meat before, but it was at the beginning of the year. One afternoon, Boss Xiao from a factory in Guanlan came to Sixiang Company to deliver samples. He delayed for a while on the way. When he arrived at the company, he was almost off work. I had to work for a while and confirmed the samples with the Taipei Company. When I was chatting, Boss Xiao asked me where I live. I told him that it was just the way, so I'll take you a ride.
When I heard this, it was not suitable. When other colleagues saw it, they might think there was something wrong with him. Then I was so unfair, so I hurriedly refused, no, no, don't be polite, I will go to Huaqiangbei to pick up my wife later.
