In the Song Dynasty, beef was not allowed. Why did Li Kui jy only eat beef when he entered the hotel?

Not only jy, but also Lu, they usually only eat beef in restaurants, but seldom eat pork. If there is no beef, they will choose to eat mutton, because it is forbidden to slaughter cattle in Song Dynasty, but it is not impossible to eat beef, so they still prefer to eat beef. Beef is not only more delicious than pork, but also has the effect of strengthening the body. Plus, they are very proud and willing to spend money to enjoy going out. Pork was.

In the Water Margin, if you carefully observe the fragments about Liangshan heroes eating, you will find a * * * phenomenon, that is, when you arrive at a pub, no matter which hero, you will almost always ask for several bowls of wine, and then serve it with beef, which has almost become the standard for Liangshan heroes to eat out. Not only jy likes doing this, but they also like doing it, including Lou. In the Song Dynasty, beef was hard to see. So there should be no beef on the market. Why can they eat so recklessly? In fact, beef was not completely banned in the Song Dynasty, and there were only a few people who could eat it, that is, people with money and status. Because beef is scarce and expensive, most people eat pork.

But for Liangshan heroes like Li Kui jy, they are very generous, because they are very proud, especially if they go out for dinner with their brothers. If they treat people to pork, they will lose face. Even if there is no beef in the restaurant, they will choose mutton and seldom eat pork. After all, these heroes are very frank and generous, and they don't care about the price of food. Happiness is the most important thing.

Liangshan heroes like Li Kui jy and Song Wu often fight on the battlefield and exercise at ordinary times, so they eat beef to keep fit. If they eat pork, they will keep getting fat without exercising, so pork is not interested in them, including most manual workers. At that time, they would rather eat mutton and chicken than pork.
