The leisurely life of rebirth

Fang Monan tapped his index finger on the sofa very rhythmically, "It's easy to say, but actually the most important thing is the taste. Western media criticizes Chinese food for being heavy in oil and salty.

The traditional Chinese cooking method, the "thick oil red sauce" cooking method, is generally considered to be too heavy in ingredients and oil, and there is always an indispensable MSG. Many Chinese chefs cannot operate without MSG.

After all, we were a large agricultural country for a long time, and many people were engaged in heavy manual labor. At that time, we emphasized that 'people are iron, rice is steel', and eating enough was the first goal; now we still have enough food and clothing.

Work hard for the goal!

Eating vegetables is just for "food", so we cook the vegetables until they are salty, oily, thick and thick. Because there is less meat and fishy taste, we always identify with and even crave for "fat"; good food is "fat meat".

A good thing is 'fat', and the concept of wealth is 'rich'." Fang Monan raised his eyebrows and looked at Father Fang and the others.

Father Fang and the others smiled knowingly, but Faith was confused, and they didn’t understand the fun of Chinese![

Only a few years after Westerners were liberated from manual labor, they criticized eating too much salt as bad. If you ask them to try heavy physical labor, they will not want to do it without salt!

Fang Monan explained, "In addition, refrigerators have only been available in the past two years, and refrigerators have not yet entered thousands of households. Of course, there is no excess food, so every time cooking is done in large quantities; in order not to let

If the vegetables are spoiled, they must be heavily salted, heavily seasoned, and rich in oil and red sauce. Then they must be placed in a basket and hung in a ventilated place, ready to be eaten for several days.

When I was young, because I was tall, my head would often hit the vegetable basket, causing my head and body to be covered in black soy sauce soup."

"Haha..." Chang Jiuchun laughed, which shows that I had a deep understanding of it when I was a child, but I know that I ate it secretly or because I was tall.

Chang Jiuchun felt apprehensive. The master's eyes looked over at him like a beast. There was always a dilemma of being seen through.

"In order to eat more, the dishes are made with thick oil and red sauce; in order to facilitate storage, the food is very salty; because transportation is not smooth, it is difficult to buy 'fresh food', which is usually smoked, roasted or pickled.

Ingredients. These pickled foods can be eaten for half a year. All these determine the characteristics of traditional Chinese food." Fang Monan said.

"Of course you don't equate takeaway fast food with Chinese food, just like you wouldn't equate boring, mediocre bread from the supermarket with French cuisine."

"That's why! Dr. Fang needs you to spread real Chinese cuisine to the whole world!" Faith really spared no effort in encouraging him.

Yes! After talking for a while, he came back.

Grandma also came to join in the fun, "Anyway, I plan to end my current life as Mo Ji, and I will also venture into the world!" She is very ambitious now. "Let Xiaobei, who is running all over the world, have a warm mouth to eat!"

"Okay! Okay!" Mobei said, fearing that the world would be in chaos. "Grandma still loves me the most."

"Mom! Why are you teasing me?" Fang's mother said with a smile.

Grandma’s eyes flashed. “The sage said: Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes! If we don’t govern the country, cooking small dishes won’t be enough! I don’t believe that based on my experience, we can’t!”

Fang Monan couldn't laugh or cry, "Grandma! This needs to be considered in the long run! It's not as easy as you said. You really dare to think about it!"

"Is there anything I dare not think about?" Grandma is now full of self-confidence. "People become great because of their dreams!"

Fang Monan pursed his lips and snickered, looking at his grandma, now she is really living for herself and living a wonderful life!

Vera and Vikala also echoed, "Miss's delicious food can conquer the world."

"Pfft..." Everyone laughed.

Fang Monan rubbed her chin. Seriously speaking, she once had the idea of ​​opening a real Chinese restaurant in the United States, but what happened later! [

"hnly" Fang Monan said to herself, this was the name of the restaurant she was thinking of at that time.

"Hnly. What a great name for this restaurant!" Hughes smacked his lips.

"What's the explanation for this?" Grandma asked humbly, showing that she was really interested.

"At first glance, hnly seems to be related to Chinese food, but it is actually not bad. Because 'ly' not only means 'daily', but also means 'frequently, every day'. Who can live without three meals a day?" Hughes

He said with a smile on his face, "It seems that Dr. Fang has a lot of ideas in mind! Look how well the name is chosen! It is to provide real Chinese food to the local people in places other than China."

Mr. Lin said from a technical perspective. "Actually, what Nan Nan just said is not a problem. It is easy to let the raw materials speak for themselves!

Although we are still very backward, things are different in the West. The intensity of people's physical labor has generally been reduced, and transportation and preservation conditions have also become much more advanced. Under this circumstance, people's dietary concepts have also undergone a complete change: environmental protection has been emphasized,

Focus on freshness and let the raw materials speak for themselves!

The traditional cooking techniques of Chinese food were brought abroad a long time ago; so at this moment when human living conditions have undergone tremendous changes, should we also think about whether the taste of 'foreign' Chinese food should also consider the overall development trend of Chinese food, and appropriately

How about making some adjustments? Of course, this adjustment is not just one-sided to cater to Western tastes, but to showcase the essence and charm of Chinese food to attract more local guests."

The old man continued enthusiastically, "In terms of dishes, we have cold salads, hot soups, stir-fries, porridge, noodles and rice; in terms of cooking techniques, we have frying, stir-frying, boiling, deep-frying, rinsing, popping, roasting and braised.

, boil, simmer... There are so many essences left to us by our ancestors, why do we only focus on fried chicken, fried duck, sweet and sour Gu Lao?

I remember a Chinese owner of a Chinese restaurant in Germany who commented with disdain on the German customers: What will they eat? Fried duck with sweet and sour sauce is their best dish. Read the full text of Dubu Xianchen! Is that really the case? What if this is the case?

If a boss comes to China and sees the Europeans feasting in authentic Chinese restaurants, he will definitely change his dishes.

Let the chef step back a little, be gentler with his hands and feet, use less condiments, and let the raw materials speak for themselves. In this way, Chinese food will be more beautiful."

Hughes said with emotion, "When eating Chinese food in Europe, everyone only orders one dish. In addition to eating habits, another reason is that the price of a Chinese food is equivalent to the price of a Western food. Therefore, there cannot be more guests.

Enjoy the delicious Chinese food.”

Fang Monan recalled his study abroad career and said, "In fact, Chinese food also pays attention to steps. Cold dishes are the first, which is equivalent to the appetizers of Western food; then hot dishes are served, with meat and vegetables combined, raw and cooked in a reasonable manner; finally, soup is served, stuffed, and served.

People feel satiated. But in Western Chinese restaurants, there is almost no such step. Usually a plate of fried duck, stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of rice are all ended up hastily. Whenever I see European guests in Chinese restaurants,

After ordering sweet and sour duck and eating it alone, I often jokingly blame the waiter: Why don't you care? Isn't this a waste of our Chinese food?"

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Nan Nan is right. In order to cater to the way of eating Western food, Chinese food abroad has completely lost the enjoyment of Chinese food. The so-called fun of Chinese food is that cold dishes, hot dishes, and soups are arranged in different ways.

The orders came one after another, and every dish was shared by everyone. 'Sharing' is also the most important fun of Chinese food; if you are eating alone, there is really no need to eat Chinese food.

If it comes to hygiene, wouldn't it be completely solved with a pair of public knives, forks and chopsticks? In this way, you don't have to ask how my lamb chops are, and I don't have to ask how your fish fillet is, everyone can enjoy it fairly.

When you look at the deliciousness of all the dishes, and the richness of the food triggers a lot of interesting topics, wouldn’t it be more fun? This is the true spirit of Chinese food.”

"People who really love food will accept your dining culture." Father Fang said with a smile, "Unlike the model where Chinese food is almost entirely dependent on overseas Chinese, many countries use government actions to build soft power in food. The French Food Association is currently in

39 offices have been set up in 34 countries around the world, with the goal of "using French cuisine to embody French economics and politics." A Japanese diplomat who once worked at the United Nations wrote that one of his main tasks during his work was to invite people

Eat Japanese food and introduce Japan to others."

Fang Monan knew that Father Fang was moved, just like the "Korean Food Globalization Strategy" implemented by the Korean government in later generations, claiming that Korean food would be developed into one of the "Five Major Foods in the World".

Why in later generations, when mixed cooking was prevalent, only Japanese food and even less influential Korean food became popular in the United States, while Chinese food was ignored by American chefs? Why is this famous dish that represents Chinese food at the top of the world's culinary pyramid?

Mapo tofu can’t appear in high-end restaurants in Manhattan?

Bangzi meals and Japanese food are sparing no effort to spread overseas! Think about the Chinese people eating Bangzi and Hari, they just look down on themselves for eating delicious food for thousands of years! It’s really good food that is clearly in their arms, but they turn a blind eye.

Eating foreign food is actually eating the culture of that country. After years of cultural precipitation, Chinese food has become a symbol of a country and national culture. Now the five major food countries generally recognized in the world are China, France, Italy, Japan and

Thai food, while Bangzi meal is obviously limited by its country's strength and national culture. Compared with Chinese food, the biggest disadvantage of Bangzi meal is that the variety of food is not rich enough.

In South Korea, each restaurant only specializes in one type of food, including ginseng chicken soup, jajangmyeon, and kimchi. Many housewives dare to open restaurants as long as they have a "fresh trick". In addition, Korean expatriates, who are responsible for the spread of food overseas, are both large and small in number.

In terms of scope, it is far inferior to overseas Chinese.

There is no reason why it should be worse than Japanese food and stick food! Now we just need to change people’s inherent thinking!

The biggest problem with Chinese food at present is that there are not many high-end restaurants. Compared with Japanese and Korean cuisine, Chinese food is not positioned as noble enough. The multi-faceted and rich nature of Chinese food has the potential to become a world taste. "Maybe Westerners who read "The Analects of Confucius"

People will not exceed 10%, but the number of Westerners who eat Chinese food is likely to reach 100%; if Confucius is a vague concept in the eyes of foreigners, then Chinese restaurants are a very specific cultural symbol. Chinese food can be said to be the most popular in the world.

Expanding the most successful cuisines through mass penetration rather than relying on national strategies.[
