Old stories from China One Emperor When receiving the report The people had no food to eat, so he asked, if they had no food to eat, why didn’t they eat meat?… Listening and laughing.
But stories from guests A prince, a relative of the Lord Buddha, was asked, “Where does rice come from?” The answer was, “Rice comes from a plate.” Hearing this made him smile. Two stories, it can be summarized as follows: People who are born with a lot of merit, can get anything they want, so they tend to be “less intelligent”.
I start off with an old story because I’m embarrassed to tell old Thai stories…that have been told before. About new rice and fish This is a Thai expression. Let’s gradually learn what is new rice and how oily is fish?
Don’t just talk about the children of my generation… who never knew that new rice and old rice were very different. Children of my own generation…grew up in rice fields in the ditches of their mother’s coconut groves…heard the word “new rice” for the first time and was still confused.
Professor Kanchanakphan gives knowledge in the book. “Thai expressions” Rice is classified into two groups. One of them is stale rice. This is the rice harvested last year. called old rice
The other type is rice that is newly harvested at a new stage, around the time the waters receded in the first month of the second month, called new rice.
As usual in the first half of the year Since the fifth month We eat old rice It’s rice that has been overdue for years. Another half year We eat new rice
New rice is considered good. It has a more delicious and smooth taste than old rice.
End of the story of old rice and new rice This time I came to know about fish. Fish is for Thai people a food that goes with rice.
The season in which the fish are in range from the low tide is the first month, the second month, until the fourth month and the fifth month. During this period, the fish have a lot of oil and are delicious to eat. After this period, it is the fish spawning season. Without oil, it is not delicious to eat.
The period when fish are very oily coincides with the new rice harvest season. So we took both rice and fish. which is an important food, let’s say together that New rice and oily fish And it is used as an expression to mean anything that is new and in good condition. It is said to be new rice and oily fish.
Not just newly married couples? Couples? Hey! It is not a group of people from many political parties. That’s more than enough to provoke Gathering forces, I don’t know how many sides, different colors, different viewpoints, etc., to come together as one. It’s difficult. It takes many months.
Let’s talk about manners. We must congratulate… let’s help each other solve problems for the country. Done safely.
The reason why we must congratulate…is because from the Prime Minister on down. To the ministers… they all spoke with their mouths full. Tired of laboring to find votes. Because of love for the nation I want to represent you.
There’s an old expression.…an expression Hot red curry rice Only the words red rice may be a new word Many children may not know that red rice actually exists. Or if there is, what kind of red will it be?
Red rice is hand-milled rice. Don’t scrub until it’s white. The rice grains are still red.
In ancient times, when there were no fire mills to mill rice with machinery. Polish the rice grains until they are white. People in general eat red rice.
For those who eat white rice It is rice that has been polished until white. It’s called polished rice. Only high-ranking people in the palace or a big house that has its own rice milling machine
Ordinary people in the house A place to eat red rice. Idiom: red rice with hot curry. It’s a word that means gratitude. That is, when eating red rice and hot curry. Which refers to the food that is eaten with someone’s food, that person will have merit.
There is a poem from Dukkhata teaching his children: “Incidentally, Mr. Mee Khun Ansunthorn Because I ate red rice and hot curry.”
Politicians talk Villagers like us are the boss…this is the time. That he will come in to repay the debt of gratitude…don’t be surprised. If you see someone drooling, This is one symptom…only.
