The leisurely life of rebirth

"Xiao Bei's sister." Faith watched Fang Monan sit up straight, "Uh... with your cooking skills, I will definitely patronize a real Chinese restaurant every day." He encouraged her, "Hey! Don't stop me.

Laugh, I’m serious.”

After one meal, Fang Monan received a loyal fan.

"Faith, don't worry about it. Dr. Fang would have opened a restaurant long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to China." Hughes raised his eyebrows and said.

"So! I'm just talking." Faith shrugged, "Actually, Dr. Fang may not be a chef! If you have money, you might not be able to hire a chef!"

"If my sister opened Chinese restaurants all over the world, haha... I would be happy." Mobei looked like a greedy cat, "Western fast food culture is the product of the Ford production method of the United States' large-scale standardized assembly lines.

An 'industrialized diet'. Compared with traditional Chinese diet, 'food industrialization' has caused systemic harm to human health, the environment and society."[

"Sister, you don't want me to become a garbage recycling bin!" Mobei said pitifully.

"Industrialized diet?" Grandma asked doubtfully.

"I have visited McDonald's food farms. They raise a large number of animals in a limited space. If measures are not taken, infectious diseases will spread. In order to prevent the spread of diseases, pesticides and antibiotics are used. These substances are ingested by the animals, and then

They are ingested by people who eat these animals, which greatly harms human health.

Anyway, after seeing this, I won’t go to McDonald’s anymore.” Hughes curled his lips in disgust and said, “We’d rather cook and eat it ourselves.”

"That's right! McDonald's is just a cheap fast food restaurant in the United States, but in China it has turned into a high-end product, which is extremely expensive to buy! Sister, if you want to take action, let them see what good food is and change the decline of Chinese food. Besides,

They enjoy a fast lifestyle. Let's show them what a slow life is and what it means to enjoy killing one's life!" Mo Beili said flatteringly.

Father Fang smiled and said, "Anyway, Xiaobei's idea is good, slow life."

Fang Monan looked at Mobei in surprise. Slow Life: As early as 1986, Italian journalist Carlo Petrini launched the "Slow Food Movement". He declared: "The fast-paced life in the city is being distorted in the name of productivity.

To protect our lives and the environment, we must start by eating slowly and resist the fast pace of life."

After that, the "slow food" trend began to spread across the world from Europe. From this, a series of "slow life" methods were developed to remind people living in the era of rapid development: please slow down and pay attention to the beauty around you.

"Slow life" is not about dawdling. It is not about laziness. It is about letting the speed indicator "retreat" and making life more detailed. This is another way of life compared to the hurried and fast-paced life of the current society. Here

The "slowness" of "slowness" is a kind of artistic conception, a kind of artistic conception of returning to nature, relaxing and harmonious.

Fang Monan looked at Mobei a little apologetically. Maybe it was because of her nurturing, so Mobei was like a top on a clockwork, spinning rapidly and constantly.

As if sensing what Fang Monan was thinking, Mo Bei held her hand back and said, "Sister, don't think so wildly." She winked playfully and said, "Sister, I'm waiting for you to satisfy my stomach!"

Fang Monan smiled. She was just an external factor, the final decision was in the hands of Mobei, this silly sister!

"What riddles are you two sisters doing?" Fang's mother looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"Oh! Nothing?" Mobei shook his head and smiled. "Sister, think about it!" Mobei said, shaking her arm.

Others also agreed with Fang Monan's cooking skills. They didn't need to say this. It was obvious to all.

Mr. Lin pointed at them and laughed and scolded, "You guys are foodies!" His eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice, "Chinese small restaurants have become the bottleneck of Chinese food. Old overseas Chinese all know that there is a saying of 'three knives' -

- Kitchen knives, scissors, and razors, these are the three tools brought by early Chinese immigrants to make a living. Chinese food has gradually 'expanded' along with the overseas footprints of the Chinese.

Nowadays, it is popular to study abroad. When many students can study abroad, many of them are 'cramming their feet' and hurriedly go to restaurants to learn skills before going abroad. This is because there is a popular saying overseas - carry a Chinese frying spoon on your back,

You can travel all over the world. As foreigners, Chinese people have many language and cultural barriers, so Chinese food can easily become a way to make a living. Therefore, they often go to low-priced small restaurants, which lowers the level of Chinese food from the beginning and gives people

It solidifies the impression of cheapness! But Chinese fast food does not mean Chinese food.”

Fang Monan has a deep understanding that "opening Chinese restaurants" is regarded by overseas Chinese as a means of supporting their families, which has led to fierce and vicious competition among Chinese restaurants. This not only reduces Chinese food to cheap delicacies, but also reduces the "culture" of Chinese food.

"Taste" has almost been lost. For example, Chinese food is synonymous with cheap lunch in the UK. For the price of one McDonald's meal, you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet in London's Chinatown.

Back when she was abroad, she served many dishes, washed dishes, and stole from chefs. As my grandfather said, there were not many chefs with truly high-level cooking skills.[

But the place where she really stole her skills was the local high-end Chinese restaurants, which adhered to traditional cooking methods.

Mr. Lin folded his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen, and said slowly, "Before the 19th century, China was still the 'center of the world's dining table.'

Chinese food, together with French food and Turkish food, is one of the three major cuisines in the world; and Chinese food ranks first among the three major cuisines.

The reason is not because local "chefs" have worked hard to make delicious products for generations, but because until the early 19th century, we were a result of being the most open and tolerant economic center in the world. Historically

During the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and early Qing dynasties, we were the economic center of the world. Coupled with the openness and inclusiveness of Han culture, we also became the center of world trade.

As a result, rice from the south, tares, millet and soybeans from the north, wheat and noodle-making technology from the Western Regions, peppers from Central and South America, etc., all came to China with the merchants and officials traveling from south to north, which made 'Chinese cuisine adopt

The latest chapter of the official website competition of the food culture of many other ethnic groups. In most countries in the world, no matter who eats Chinese food, they will not find it distasteful. What’s more interesting is that because we were once the center of the global economy, we have to welcome

Businessmen and officials came from all over the world, so in the Han Dynasty, there was the world's earliest 'dining out culture' and the earliest 'restaurant'."

"It seems that not only Chinese people love Chinese food, but also in world history, Chinese food was once the center of the world's dining table!" Dad Fang said with a smile, "Nannan, this is the foundation!"

Fang Monan held his chin in his hand and smiled without saying a word. He had eaten all over the world and looked at the economy. The old man had a lot of experience!

Mr. Lin changed the subject, and his simple voice sounded again, "Nowadays, when France, Japan, and even South Korea are ambitious to build soft power in food, Chinese food is mostly relying on small restaurants run by Chinese, so that many

Foreigners' impression of Chinese restaurants is that they are cheap and noisy.

In today's world, countries are building soft power one after another. Music, film and television, and sports competitions are components of the soft power that many countries are trying to build. But compared with the ancient and solid channels of food that lead to the depths of the soul and directly to the human stomach, all

These are not worth mentioning, but for China, ‘nothing is more Chinese than Chinese food’.”

"That's good!" Father Fang shouted excitedly.

Fang Monan gave a thumbs up.

Mr. Lin continued, "When it comes to Chinese food, many foreigners are fascinated by it. As early as 1919, the famous Japanese novelist Junichiro Tanizaki published an essay titled 'Chinese Cuisine' in the Osaka Asahi Shimbun, saying, 'I have been eating Chinese food since I was a child.

I have always loved Chinese food. Nowadays, top political leaders in Japan also love "Chinese food". Many politicians also like to eat Chinese food!

Although many people have never been to Huaxia, they like to go to the local Chinatown very much. They sit in Chinatown, watch the Chinese people coming and going, listen to the Chinese music coming from the street, and use chopsticks to pick up the delicious food on the plate.

Only then can you truly enjoy Chinese food.

Chinese food, like the giant panda, is regarded by foreigners as a symbol of China. It embodies the cultural appeal of China's soft power, and Chinese food has always been China's most successful cultural export."

In later generations, immigrants surged, forming many Chinese gathering areas, and even Americans exclaimed: Chinese food is a part of the lives of many people in the United States and a popular enjoyment, and many Americans can also use chopsticks.

Indian Asan said enviously: Chinese food has always been the most successful cultural export. A survey shows that in the UK, for the first time, Chinese food has surpassed Indian food, which has always dominated the world, and has become the new favorite of British diners.

Although it sounds lively, it still cannot change the fact that Chinese food abroad is very foreign.

Mr. Lin continued, "The cultural differences between East and West have a great impact on Chinese restaurants."

Hughes nodded in agreement, "Chinese food is lively, while Western food is boring. If I walk into a Chinese restaurant and find silence, I feel like something is going to happen, just like when we walk into a Western restaurant and find it noisy.

"

Faith echoed, "You like the excitement, but for us it's too noisy and noisy, not suitable for talking about things.

When discussing matters in a Chinese restaurant, you can only choose a private room, while New York's financial giants usually meet in the lobby of the restaurant when discussing deals. They can choose a corner location where everyone can see them but cannot hear them and whisper."

Mobei suddenly remembered something and smiled, "In Chinese restaurants, when you see the dishes ordered by foreigners, whoever ordered them will be placed in front of them to eat alone. If others want to taste, they must reach over and fork a little, and then use their forks to toss the crystal vermicelli.

, I immediately felt that black lines were all over my face. Apart from these, the taste of the food, even I, who have been tortured by Western food, can't say it is delicious without conscience..."[

"Grandma, my stomach is really tortured!" Mobei played the sad card.

"Ouch! My dear grandson, if your sister doesn't let go, I will do it." Grandma hugged Mobei and said with great pride.
