The leisurely life of rebirth

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "It is said that Lizhuang White Meat evolved from when King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty launched an army to attack Zhou. During the uprising, people from all walks of life cut into pieces the head of the demon fox Su Daji, dipped it in minced garlic and ate it. The meat slices are thin and long.

, and wrap it with a chopstick and eat it, called 'foot-wrapped meat'."

"Pfft...it's really vivid." Father Fang said with a smile. The rolled up white meat really looks like it. Maybe the name was too unsightly, so he changed it.

Although it's not far, it's almost the same.

Faith counted the vegetables while eating, "There are tomatoes, onions, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, celery... Why do I feel like I'm eating Western food!"

Hughes suddenly said, "These vegetables are all imported from abroad. So Faith doesn't feel out of place at all!" He looked at Fang Monan and admired, "Doctor Fang really worked hard!" [

"Carrots were introduced from the Western Regions, and corn was introduced to China from the Americas during the Ming Dynasty. It takes a long time for people to come into contact with a brand-new ingredient and then fall in love with it." Fang Monan paused for a moment.

Then he said, "If I gave Faith the whole couple's lung slices and the nine-turn large intestine, Faith would probably faint right away! Let alone eat it."

Grandma said clearly, "So even if Nannan opens a Chinese restaurant, she must use ingredients they are familiar with, Chinese cooking, and make gradual changes!"

Fang Monan nodded and added with great interest, "We have a saying that a person is nourished by the soil and water. There is also a word called acclimatization, which fully illustrates the inertia of people themselves."

Fang Monan paused and then said meaningfully: "Although we like to try new things, in fact, 90% of people will not be surprised when they taste a certain ingredient for the first time.

A person who eats tomatoes is a hero!"

Faith said, "Tomatoes are a favorite food of people in many countries around the world. Tomatoes originally grew in the forests of Peru and were called "wolf peaches." Because they are bright and attractive, people are afraid that they are poisonous and only appreciate their beauty but dare not eat them.

it.

In the 16th century, the British Duke Alexander brought a tomato seedling back from South America and presented it to his lover, Queen Elizabeth. Since then, tomatoes have been introduced to Europe, but no one dared to eat them. At that time, British doctors

People were warned that eating tomatoes would bring life-threatening consequences. If American Colonel Robert hadn't taken an unprecedented action, people might still not know what tomatoes taste like.

When Colonel Robert ate tomatoes in front of the people in the town, several women couldn't bear it and fainted on the spot. All 10 tomatoes were eaten by Robert. He was still standing on the steps safely and told everyone

He waved to him. The people applauded warmly, and the band played a triumphal song for him."

"How could Shennong have tasted a hundred herbs? How could he be admired by the world, just because he was the first person? He was called Emperor Yan, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of China!" Fang Monan said with a smile.

"Shen Nong tasted the herbs!" Faith's eyes were filled with questions.

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Shennong is the legendary inventor of agriculture and medicine. He is one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

In ancient times, people lived a life of gathering, fishing and hunting. Shennong invented and made wood grass and wood grass, and taught the people agricultural production.

It reflects the transition from gathering, fishing and hunting to agricultural production in the primitive era of China. It is also said that he tasted all kinds of herbs, discovered medicinal materials, and taught people how to treat diseases. After Fuxi, Shennong was another person who made great contributions to the Chinese nation.

A legendary figure who made many contributions.”

The old man paused and continued, "It is said that Shennong was born with a 'crystal belly', which was almost completely transparent. All the internal organs could be seen, and the food eaten could also be seen. At that time, people often suffered from "

Eating indiscriminately could lead to illness or even death. Shennong was determined to taste all kinds of herbs, put the edible ones in the bag on the left side of his body and introduce them to others; put the unpalatable ones in the bag on the right side of his body and use them as medicine.

Use. If you can’t eat it, just remind people to pay attention.”

"Although it is a legend, such a courageous person should be considered a hero!" Faith said with a thumbs up.

"Doctor Fang is right, it doesn't work if you overdo it all at once! Foreigners really can't appreciate the high-end dishes that Chinese people like to eat, such as abalone and shark's fin," said Hughes.

Faith smiled and said, "With these four dishes from Dr. Fang, I believe Chinese restaurants in the United States will definitely succeed!" If he was still hesitant before, he is now confident.

"Actually, at the end of the day, the strong inclusiveness of Chinese food is still there!" Mr. Lin put down his chopsticks after eating, "Chinese food blends sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and various different flavors, reflecting the culture of 'harmony.'" And for this 'harmony',

Meaning, sir

Zizi has his own unique explanation: “The reason why Chinese cuisine can travel all over the world is that it combines traditional Chinese cooking techniques with local elements. Chinese cuisine is not just a set of cuisines, it also fully embodies the philosophy of adapting to local conditions.

.”

Fang Monan echoed, "Chinese food has great inclusiveness. Chinese food is now mostly mixed, with a hyphen: such as Chinese-Venezuelan style, Chinese-Norwegian style, Chinese-Madagascar style, etc. However, this also makes

Many foreigners who have been to China often lament that only after arriving in China do they realize that the Chinese food eaten elsewhere is very different from the Chinese food in China."

Dad Fang said, "The tolerance is too strong, so people feel that Chinese food abroad is very foreign!" [

Mr. Lin pursed his lips and said with deep meaning, "In fact, since the reform and opening up, Chinese food has included many Western elements, from burgers and fried chicken to milk, ice cream and added sweeteners to make it bubble.

New cold drinks and more and more delicious Western food are being absorbed by Chinese people.

The great tolerance shown by Chinese people in their eating habits will enable China to be more confident in the world in the future. This is also a very valuable experience when engaging in soft power competition."

Fang Monan inadvertently rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "On the other hand, it also reflects that the economic center of the world is in the United States. Eat all over the world and see the economy!"

Fang Monan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and continued, "Kissinger once said that whoever controls food controls all people. In fact, whoever controls food and drink controls the world."

Mr. Lin smiled and nodded, and said a sentence with philosophical meaning, "One flower, one world, one meal, one country!"

"Why are French foie gras and wine served on the state banquet table? Why is Asia, which has the richest food culture, so quickly conquered by European and American hamburgers? Why is Japanese food so popular in the United States?" Fang Monan asked with a smile.

"You girl, you are really a foodie. Starting with food, food trends are closely related to economic changes." Father Fang scolded with a smile.

"This is a fresh statement." Fang's mother said with a smile.

"Before the 19th century, China was the center of the world economy. Economic prosperity gave birth to a diversified food culture. The food culture of the people in the peaceful and prosperous times was equally rich. Foreign trade created an eclectic Chinese food culture. Economic prosperity was derived from political laxity.

, the economic development brought about by the origin of medicine and food." Mr. Lin sighed with emotion, "That was an era that everyone envied!"

"Medicine and food have the same origin?" Faith asked puzzledly.

"What is eaten on an empty stomach is regarded as food, and what the patient eats is regarded as "medicine". The Nei Jing says: To treat a disease with large poisons, six out of ten are eliminated; to treat a disease with common poisons, seven out of ten are eliminated; to treat a disease with minor poisons, eight out of ten are eliminated;

Treat diseases, get rid of nine out of ten; grains, fruits and vegetables,

Food nourishes it, overpowers it, and damages its integrity. This can be called the earliest principle of dietary therapy. Diet is "medicine" in a sense, and it is a collection of foods with various "medicinal" effects that are combined into dishes.

." Qiu Lian said.

"Haha... let's put it this way!" Fang Monan picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the bottom of the plate, "Cloves, star anise, fennel, wolfberry, and the nine-story pagoda are both medicine and food."

"This is unmatched by any country, and it also marks that China's food culture is the most important point of a higher-level culture." Dad Fang said with a smile.

"Before the Industrial Revolution, world trade was centered on 'diet'. The expansion of European countries overseas and the wars accompanying the expansion were all in pursuit of the benefits brought by diet. Therefore, diet is the center of the economy and also the core of each country's culture.

Symptoms, European food culture has developed two different schools in modern times. These two schools are represented by France and Britain and the United States respectively, that is, countries that regard food as a 'culture' and countries that use food as a 'resource'." Fang Monan

smiled.

"Yeah! It makes sense, but British food is terrible!" Mr. Lin knew it very well. He curled his lips and said, "The United Kingdom relies on food trade to seize world economic hegemony, but what is incredible is that the British mainland has not formed a highly developed food culture.

Not only that, the UK is even known as 'the country with the most unpalatable food'. Although the UK has gradually formed a black tea culture, wine cannot be brewed due to the unfavorable climate, and I don't know if it is because of the British wheat varieties. Even the bread is not delicious.

Unpalatable."

"So in the past 200 years, although the United Kingdom and the United States have controlled international politics, it is French cuisine that is world-renowned." Fang Menan said wittily.

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Mr. Lin looked at Fang Monan and laughed and scolded, "You girl, you are right!" He continued, "In the eyes of the French, apart from French food, German food, British food and the like are simply unworthy.

The elegant hall is completely simple and rustic. Although there is also York in England

Dishes such as county pudding and roast beef, but these are home-cooked dishes after all. The same is true in Germany. Potatoes are the most common food to satisfy hunger, and sausages are a dish invented by farmers in order not to waste minced meat. The French do not hesitate to criticize

Spain says that beyond the Pyrenees is Africa.

In fact, French cuisine is a fusion of the characteristics of Italian, Spanish and Eastern European cuisines. It was formed with the intermarriage between dynasties. Taking the French Revolution as an opportunity, the food culture originally exclusive to the court spread to the citizens, and slowly Paris

It has become the gourmet capital of the world.”
