From the folk to the palace -- pea yellow

Introduction:

"Pea yellow is a good product in spring and summer in Beijing. Pea benefits urination, quenches thirst, harmonizes middle and lower Qi, relieves sore poison, diminishes inflammation, removes heat, and has the effect of lowering blood pressure, removing fat and losing weight. It was originally a folk snack and later spread to the court. The Yellow pea of Qinggong is made from superior white peas. The color of the finished product is light yellow, delicate and pure. The taste is sweet, cool and refreshing. Cixi is famous for her appetite for food. It is said that one day, Cixi was sitting in Beihai meditation studio to have a rest. Suddenly, she heard the sound of beating a small gong and shouting in the street. Then she turned back and asked her left and right, what are they selling? But the eunuch maids and the entourage of the office of internal affairs, with big eyes staring and small eyes, hesitated and hesitated, and could not answer why, Cixi ordered people to call the peddler in and ask. When the peddler saw the official, he was so scared that his legs and stomach turned. He planned to throw away the pick-up and leave. He thought it was the Yamen who collected taxes and managed the street! Where can I afford to pay for my small business! It's better to run. Suddenly, I heard the messenger behind me saying, "what are you running for? Someone wants to help you. What are you running for? On hearing this, the vendor stood down suspiciously. The messenger came close to him and told him in a low voice that it was the old Buddha who invited empress dowager Xi. He was so scared that he peed his pants and couldn't run any more. It was two messengers who drove him to the old Buddha. As soon as the messengers let go, he knelt there. In fact, he was paralyzed there. The old Buddha gave the messengers a look; don't scare him. What kind of business do you do? The peddler was relieved and kowtowed like a chicken pecking at rice. The small one was just a small business. He made pea and kidney bean rolls, which surprised the old Buddha. The small one should die. Li Lianying, the eunuch, ordered him to take it out and have a look. The peddler lifted the cloth on the top of the pick, and there were delicate dots in it. It was beautiful and exquisite! Li Lianying took a piece of it to her mouth and tasted it. She turned around and quickly went back to the Buddha. The little one had never tasted it. It was really delicious! After that, she handed Cixi the small porcelain plate with snacks. Cixi also pinched a piece of it and put it into her mouth to melt. It was sweet and fragrant with beans. OK, stay! You go and arrange for him. For some reason, the peddler was so scared that he kowtowed and said, and gave the old Buddha a taste. Manager Li gave him a push, but he didn't hurry to thank you. The old Buddha left you by his side. You're enjoying yourself. At that time, the peddler was silly. Later, he cooked food for Cixi in the palace and became a real Royal chef in the imperial dining room. This is still popular today. Put it in your mouth and gently sip it with the tip of your tongue. The pea yellow will turn into pea mud immediately, and then taste it slightly sweet and refreshing, fine but not greasy. The cool feeling goes straight to your heart and spleen. The most wonderful thing is that when the pea yellow comes down, the fragrance of pea will rush to your throat and fill your mouth instantly... "
