Wu Song drank 18 bowls of wine and ate two Jin of cooked beef before he killed the tiger. Did the ancients eat so much?

The original text of Water Margin is very clear. The bartender cut two Jin of cooked beef first, and then two Jin.

So in the hotel under Jingyang Gangxia, Wu Song ate four catties of cooked beef and eighteen bowls of wine.

4 Jin of cooked beef+18 bowls of wine.

is this a big appetite?

to be honest, this appetite is not small, but it is within the normal range of human beings, and it is not an exaggeration.

Because first of all, Wu Song eats for a long time.

he is hungry and eats at noon.

when did you finish eating?

it won't end until the afternoon. After paying the bill and leaving, I went out for four or five miles, and the sun was about to set.

at noon, let's take it as 12 noon.

when the sun goes down, let's take it as 5: 3 in the afternoon.

I walked four or five miles outside. This distance, let's take Wu Song for an hour.

On the whole, Wu Song ate meat and drank wine in the hotel for at least four hours.

what is this concept?

This is the standard posture for people to eat buffet today.

help the wall in, help the wall out. It takes a long time to eat in the middle.

If a person's normal appetite for a meal at ordinary times is a bowl of rice and a dish.

If you skip breakfast and have a four-hour buffet, you can at least double or triple your appetite.

the second point. Wu Song ate a lot of cooked beef, which looked scary.

but actually, meat food doesn't fill your stomach. Eat slowly, many people can eat four Jin of cooked beef.

according to the unearthed cultural relics, one kilogram in the northern song dynasty is about 64 grams now.

therefore, four catties of beef in Wu Song is 2,56 grams. It's about five pounds now.

the density of cooked beef is certainly higher than that of water. Compared with the density of water, it is about 1.25: 1.

So 256 grams of beef, in terms of volume, is estimated to be about 2 ml.

specifically, a kilo is almost so much.

it's certainly not easy for a normal person to eat five plates.

But don't forget, Wu Song didn't have breakfast, and he ate a meal for four hours. Spread it evenly, and it's nothing.

If Wu Song eats steamed bread instead of cooked beef.

it's difficult to eat four catties of steamed bread and drink.

the third point. Song dynasty wine, not distilled wine. The degree is just a little higher than the current beer.

Therefore, Wu Song's eighteen bowls of wine are actually eighteen bowls of beer.

and most importantly, according to the unearthed cultural relics.

the wine bowls in the northern song dynasty were not big. It's about this big.

the diameter of the bowl mouth is generally about 13cm and seven or eight centimeters deep.

this kind of bowl is not big. The full volume will not be much more than the current four-Liang plastic cup. The so-called eighteen bowls are estimated to be five to six bottles of beer today.

Even if Wu Song actually uses a bigger bowl, it's only ten bottles of beer at most.

five Jin of meat, plus ten bottles of beer.

it looks scary.

but again. Eat slowly, like Wu Song, while eating and drinking, talk nonsense with the bartender, drink until you come back to pee, and then talk nonsense with the shopkeeper for four hours. (Simply eating and drinking, this order and wine can't last all afternoon)

In a good mood, I believe many people can make these five pounds of meat and ten bottles of wine. Including girls.

Of course, it is only for girls with good appetites.

First of all, the liquor in the Northern Song Dynasty was not really liquor, which means that the liquor that Wu Song drank was not the same as the liquor that we modern people drank. The biggest difference, of course, was the degree. The alcohol Wu Song drinks is very low, which is similar to that of beer.

As Wu Song, he is a big man with eight feet tall, big arms and a round waist, with good physical fitness and martial arts. Drinking eighteen bowls of wine is nothing more than drinking eighteen bottles of beer. Not to mention Wu Song, it seems that many ordinary young people drink eighteen bottles of beer one afternoon or one night.

Speaking of this, it is necessary for us to popularize the problems of Song Dynasty liquor and modern liquor. The liquor we drink now is distilled liquor, which is brewed, distilled and cooled to finally get a high alcohol solution. At that time, there was no distillation technology in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the wine was brewed wine, which was also called rice wine.

Rice wine is produced by fermenting substances containing starch and sugar raw materials to produce alcohol, and the highest degree will not exceed 18 degrees. At that time, rice was generally used as raw material for brewing in the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, don't be frightened by Wu Song's 18 bowls of wine. At least many ordinary people can compete with Wu Song in terms of alcohol consumption.

After drinking and eating, I just want to ask a big man who is over 1.85 meters tall and weighs 1 kilograms, does he eat a lot of two kilograms of beef? I don't think there are many! I can eat even if I am very hungry. Although I didn't eat two Jin of cooked beef at once, I did eat a plate of pig's head at one go.

My favorite food in my life is pig's head, and I was hungry that day. I picked up a large plate of pig's head and stuffed it into my mouth. I haven't tasted anything yet. The plate is already empty, so I can eat more according to my condition at that time. This is a fact that I personally experienced.

Of course, people in ancient times generally ate more than we modern people. The main reason is that people in ancient times were all heavy manual workers, and their physical energy consumption was fast, so they had to eat more to ensure that they had enough strength to complete heavy physical work. In ancient times, there were no planes, cars and ships, and it was all about walking on one foot when going out of town.

Take Wu Song as an example. He left Chai Jin Villa in Henghai County, Cangzhou, and then rushed to yanggu county to visit his eldest brother Wu Dalang. It is six or seven hundred miles from Cangzhou to Yanggu, and Wu Song didn't drive there, but walked there step by step. It takes more than a day to travel long distances and stay hungry for food and drink overnight.

A big guy like Wu Song needs enough energy when he is hungry. I think it's normal for him to eat two Jin of cooked beef. How can you walk when you are not full? Don't say that Wu Song is so far away, even in my parents' era, people of their generation were quite able to eat. At that time, all the work in the fields in the 197s and 198s was manual, so it was normal to eat seven or eight corn cakes or two bowls of miscellaneous grains noodles in the evening.

People's living conditions are better now, but their physical fitness is not as good as that of the older generation. They feel more tired every day without so much physical work. People in the farming age rest at sunrise and sunset, eat and drink enough at night, and lie down at seven or eight o'clock without electricity. After doing what they should do, they sleep soundly and steadily until dawn!

Wu Song is thirsty after a long journey. It's completely true that he went into the store to drink 18 bowls of wine and eat 2 Jin of beef. Otherwise, how could he kill the tiger with his bare hands!

Now some manual workers in this society can eat two catties of beef and drink eighteen bowls of wine.

It's hard to judge wine. After all, there are many people who drink a case of beer in one breath now!

Even for liquor, the elder brothers of one Jin, two Jin, three Jin and five Jin circulated on the Internet in previous years are endless. Whether they really drink in a bar or not, at least so much water is poured down, which proves that they are massive.

Compared with the contemporary liquor, the distillation technology of Wu Song's liquor is advanced. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called "three bowls fail to pass the post", but the degree is estimated to be at most ten degrees, which is not much higher than that of beer.

Let's talk about the bowls in the Song Dynasty. Let's enlarge them. A bowl filled with half a catty of wine should be a lot, right?

In this way, Wu Song is equivalent to drinking nine catties of wine, and a bottle of beer with a height of 55ml. He drank nine bottles.

In fact, this amount has not reached the peak of Wu Song. When Jiang Menshen was drunk, Wu Song drank 34 bowls of wine, nearly twice as much as in Jingyanggang.

However, according to "Water Margin", the alcohol in Jingyanggang is slightly higher than that in Happy Forest, which is understandable.

let's talk about beef!

Wu Song didn't actually eat two kilos of beef. After he ate the first two kilos of cooked beef, he asked the shop assistant to serve two kilos of beef.

Of course, did he eat all the beef served for the second time? This is not written in the original Water Margin. Even if he ate it all, after all, beef is a valuable ingredient.

Four catties of beef is not a small sum. Why can Wu Song eat it?

It's really a little difficult to understand this problem now. After all, for myself, I'm full after eating two steamed buns at a meal, and beef may be half a catty to a catty.

But in fact, when I was a boy, I ate quite a lot. I remember that I didn't eat breakfast once, and I worked in the fields in the morning. I was so hungry at noon that I ate six steamed buns and two bowls of noodles at a time.

according to my grandfather, they built rivers at that time, that is, they dredged rivers and dug artificial rivers in various villages. After all, their families were poor, and they still managed enough to work here. He said that there was a big fellow who washed the pole carrying mud and put it on the ground when he was eating, and then put steamed bread on the pole, from beginning to end, 19 of them were placed, and one person ate them all.

My grandmother said that the old man next door gave out flour, vegetables and meat during the Chinese New Year and asked him to pack it for jiaozi. Originally, it was given to a person to eat for two days, but as a result, he was so greedy that he ate it all on New Year's Eve.

So, eating four catties of beef in one breath is not small, but it is not big enough to break the human limit.

Let's not be fooled by the actors in the TV series Water Margin. Wu Song is actually the same size as Lu Zhishen, except that his belly is not as big as Lu Zhishen's, and his figure is five big and three thick.

When I passed Jingyanggang, I happened to be a hot-blooded young man, twenty-five, who was hungry and had a full meal and rushed to yanggu county overnight.

I didn't eat in the morning, maybe I didn't eat enough the night before, so I was hungry and thirsty. This is the premise. If I quench my thirst, I can't solve it without three or five bowls of wine.

Besides, Wu Song ate this meal for quite a long time, and went to the store for dinner at noon. In some places, noon means noon, and in some places, noon means the time between breakfast and lunch. In this case, it should mean noon, around 12 noon.

When Wu Song was full and about to leave, the bartender stopped him:

It was from 15: to 17: , and it was just after 3: in the afternoon. Wu Song ate this meal for three or four hours.

After drinking, Wu Song withdrew, and after a few miles, it was dusk:

At this time, it should be about to change the application card. In the past, a brand had to be changed every hour, so when applying for a license, it was necessary to change the application card. At this time, it was about 17: and the sun went down.

It's four or five miles along this section of the road, and Wu Song walked for more than an hour:

It can be seen that Wu Song was still drunk and walked slowly ...

The conclusion came out:

Wu Song, as a strong man, was tall and burly, at the age of 25, and he was still on the road for days without eating breakfast. I finally caught such a shop, so naturally I had to eat a big meal, and he had to eat dinner. After all, it was only one meal a day.

* * * spent three or four hours, drank seven or eight pounds of beer-like things, and ate almost four pounds of beef. Actually, this amount is not large. In the middle, I can go out to pee, chat with Xiao er while eating, and eat so much meat in a flash.

Actually, compared with Lu Zhishen, Wu Song's appetite is still far behind. At first, Lu Zhishen drank more than 2 bowls in succession, but later he was not satisfied, so he added another bucket. As for the number of bowls in a bucket, it's impossible to forget. After eating half a dog's meat, he kicked off a dog's leg and ate it while walking.

likui jy can eat quite well, too. One meal can kill nine bowls of noodles, plus three Jin of rice, which is only the staple food, not counting meat, vegetables and wine.

In this way, Wu Song's appetite and alcohol consumption are not unusual.

First of all, the liquor of the Song Dynasty and the present Maotai-flavor technology are two different things. If you can cross into the Song Dynasty, you can bring the technology of a certain Maotai-flavor technology to ensure that you can make a fortune.

The current Maotai-flavor technology is distilled liquor, which is a solution of alcohol obtained after brewing, distillation and cooling. In the Song Dynasty nearly 9 years ago, this technology had not been invented. Therefore, the so-called white wine that Wu Erlang drinks is not our current maotai-flavor technology at all. So what kind of wine did Wu Song drink after drinking 18 bowls and 3 bowls?

to be exact, it should be rice wine. The degree of this rice wine is not compared with the 5-degree Maotai-flavor technology, even compared with beer, it may not be able to gain the upper hand. Because the degree of rice wine is not high, Wu Song can drink 18 bowls in a row, and naturally there is no big deal. After all, compared with Wu Song's physique and his martial arts, these 18 bowls of wine are absolutely nothing to him.

I really didn't come here with my mouth open. Do you remember that in the past two years, there were a lot of macho men who drank liquor by the catty? Although these guys are exaggerating, there are always some situations around us where drinking beer is like drinking boiled water. I think people who often have to undergo alcohol tests in ancient times will have better natural alcohol consumption.

The hero Takejiro's drinking capacity may be common in ancient times. Now, he may not be a hero in the wine field, and even he may not be able to blow a bottle of 1.25 liters of coke.

As for eating meat, Wu Song actually ate not two catties of beef, but four catties of beef.

Why does Wu Song have such a good appetite that he can kill 4 Jin of beef? Young age, excessive consumption of continuous traveling, and a long time to eat this meal are all the reasons why Wu Song can successfully unlock a 4 kg beef meal.

first, let's talk about the meal time in Wu Song. Wu Song entered the store at noon, that is to say, he arrived at the store around 12 noon to prepare for dinner. So when did Wu Song leave?

In the Water Margin, the bartender told us that when Wu Song paid the bill, he was going to unlock the copy of Jingyanggang. At this time, the kind bartender came out. He told Wu Song that it was the bidding time, that is, three to five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, going up the mountain was equivalent to delivering takeout to the tiger.

From the bartender's mouth, we know that Wu Song really ate this meal for a long time, for more than 18 minutes, and he could watch two movies.
