古都西安是一个驰名中外的旅游城市，想必大多数读者朋友都去玩过，那么西安最有名的美食——羊肉泡馍，你一定大快朵颐过！鲜香馥郁的羊肉高汤，浸泡着一块块掰碎的硬面烤饼，别有风味。
可能你想象不到，这道美食的硬面烤饼，竟然是一种历史长达2000多年、曾经被统一华夏的大秦军队作为军粮的古老食品！这种硬烤饼在关中大地有个大名鼎鼎的名字——“锅盔”！形象而生动传神的刻画这种饼又大又坚厚的特征。
▲中国古代铠甲前面后面都常见这样的圆形护甲，其实这是有一定历史“渊源的”
陕西是华夏地区较早引入小麦的地区，已经有近4000年历史，秦代小麦已经成为主粮，蛋白质和碳水化合物都优于其他粮食的小麦作为主粮也是秦国战胜小麦种植面积不及秦国的其他六国的一个因素。
▲陕西名吃---锅盔，貌似这个大小和厚度都是大大打折的
战国时期，炊事技术以及炊具还很落后，“蒸”这种高效炊事技术还未普及（只有宫廷才有），所以百姓主食主要是通过“煮”和“烤”这两种最古老的方式，而硬面烤饼则是许多生产食用面粉地区都有的食品，现在中亚、新疆地区历史悠久的“馕”就是一种与锅盔相似的硬面烤饼，不过锅盔后来的做法又有了进步，不再单纯烤制，还可以用大土锅烙制，这样就更不容易焦煳，可以制作的更加厚实，一张大锅盔，需要三个小时不停的翻烤烙制才能做好，正是慢工出细活。
▲这个大小差不多，厚度还是不够
锅盔由于“耐储存、不易变质”的特点，特别适合作为军粮。一个烤好的锅盔，在干燥的环境下，竟然可以半年不霉变。一般环境下保存十天半月也是毫无问题的。
▲扫灭六国的秦军，在后勤和装备上都有高人之处
锅盔作为军粮，所以还特意保留许多“军事化设计风格”，比如一张锅盔竟然可以制作的直径达半米之大！而且厚度也竟会达到十几厘米。
干质的面饼是非常坚韧瓷实，这样厚度的硬饼，都有犹如大树年轮一样的纹路，所以陕西地区又称之“墩饼”，可以想象简直就是一张优质的“面盾”！不仅箭镞无法穿透，普通人手持长矛直刺也未必洞穿！
▲秦军甲士并不多，更多的是这种轻装步卒，他们不可能不装备护具，锅盔就是一个
所以一些没有铠甲的秦军武士，就在身前身后各背一个“墩饼”，就是一件不错的“面饼铠甲”。不愧被叫做“锅盔”（像锅盖一样大的盔甲）的称谓。
▲当然锅盔是“兼职”的“临时工”，这个才是真正的秦军盾牌
古代从军，最怕的就是担负很重的武器、衣被、铠甲、干粮等包袱，长途跋涉，简直把人累死。而锅盔这种奇妙的特性，竟可以将干粮、铠甲合二为一，极大减轻了战士的负担，提高了军队战斗力，这也是秦军优越于山东六国的一个细节因素。
所以朋友，当你来到古城西安，要一大海碗羊肉泡馍的时候，请尽情细细品味两千年历史的锅盔那焦香扑鼻的同时，在心中不妨勾画一副大秦武士身负锅盔、风餐露宿、负戈远征，一统天下的雄浑画面，也许更能有助你体味关中悠远敦厚的人文历史。

The ancient capital of Xi'an is a famous tourist city both at home and abroad. Presumably most of the readers and friends have been to play, then Xi'an's most famous food, mutton, you must have a good time! Fresh and fragrant mutton soup, soaked in pieces of chopped hard-boiled scones, with a distinctive flavor.
Perhaps you can't imagine that this gourmet hard-boiled scone is actually an ancient food that has been used for more than 2,000 years and was once unified by China's Daqin army as a military grain! This kind of hard scone has a famous name in the Guanzhong area - "pot helmet"! The image is vivid and vivid, depicting the large and strong features of this cake.
▲The round armor is common in the front and back of the ancient Chinese armor. In fact, this is a certain historical “original”. ▲The round armor is common in the front and back of the ancient Chinese armor. In fact, this is a certain historical “original”.
Shaanxi is an area where wheat was introduced earlier in China. It has a history of nearly 4,000 years. The wheat in the Qin Dynasty has become the staple food. The protein and carbohydrates are superior to other foods. The main grain is also the country where Qin is better than the other countries. A factor in the six countries.
▲Shaanxi famous eat---pot helmet, it seems that this size and thickness are greatly discounted ▲ Shaanxi famous eat---pot helmet, it seems that this size and thickness are greatly discounted
During the Warring States period, cooking techniques and cooking utensils were still very backward. The “steaming” technology of high-efficiency cooking was not popular (only in the court), so the staple food of the people was mainly through the two oldest methods of “cooking” and “roasting”. Hard-bone scones are foods that are produced in many areas of edible flour. Nowadays, the long-standing “馕” in Central Asia and Xinjiang is a kind of hard-baked scones similar to the pots, but the practice of the pots has improved. It is no longer simply baked, but it can also be baked with a large earthen pot, so that it is even less likely to be anxious. It can be made thicker, a large pot helmet, which takes three hours to turn over and roast to complete. It is slow work out.
▲ This size is almost the same, the thickness is still not enough ▲ This size is almost the same, the thickness is not enough
Because of its "resistance to storage and non-deterioration", the helmet is especially suitable for military food. A grilled pot helmet, in a dry environment, can not be mildew for half a year. It is no problem to save for ten days and a half in the general environment.
▲The Qin army that wiped out the six countries has high morals in logistics and equipment. ▲The Qin army that wiped out the six countries has high merits in logistics and equipment.
The pot helmet is used as a military grain, so it also deliberately retains many "military design styles". For example, a pot helmet can be made up to half a meter in diameter! And the thickness will reach a dozen centimeters.
The dried cake is very tough and porcelain. The thick cake of this thickness has the same texture as the big tree rings. Therefore, the Shaanxi area is also called the “dough cake”. It can be imagined that it is simply a high-quality “face shield”. "! Not only can the arrow not penetrate, but ordinary people holding a spear can not pierce it!
▲There are not many Qin army sergeants, more of them are light-handed, they can not be equipped with protective gear, the helmet is a
Therefore, some Qin army warriors who did not have armor, each carrying a "dough cake" behind their bodies, is a good "cake armor." It is called the title of "pot helmet" (armor like a pot lid).
▲Of course, the helmet is a “temporary worker” of “part-time job”. This is the real Qin army shield. ▲ Of course, the helmet is a “temporary worker” of “part-time job”. This is the real Qin army shield.
In ancient times, the most feared thing was to take on heavy weapons, clothes, armor, dry food, etc., and travel long distances, and it was exhausting people. The wonderful characteristics of the pot helmet can actually combine dry food and armor into one, greatly reducing the burden on the soldiers and improving the combat effectiveness of the army. This is also a detailed factor for the Qin army to be superior to the six countries in Shandong.
So friends, when you come to the ancient city of Xi'an, you want to have a sea bowl of mutton, please enjoy the taste of the two thousand-year-old pottery helmet. At the same time, you can draw a pair of big Qin warriors in the heart of the pot, the wind and the night The negative ego expedition, the majestic picture of the unification of the world, may help you to appreciate the profound human history of Guanzhong.
