Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 299 Proof
"So I think that etiquette should not be used to convey incompetence, create barriers, show arrogance, highlight narrowness, mark arrogance, and pretend to be hypocritical. If someone does this, it is no longer etiquette, but Indecent; those who do that are not observing the etiquette, but exceeding the etiquette."

"It's wrong to discard the essentials and discard the truth while keeping the false. I don't know why every book on etiquette emphasizes the elegance and style of etiquette, and emphasizes personal accomplishment, temperament, and appearance. It will talk about respect and obedience, but go no further than that, and ignore the most crucial premise - from the heart."

"That's why Xunzi thinks: 'Rites are long and short, there is more than damage, and there is not enough benefit'. It is also said that 'the ritual is to respect people'. This is the biggest difference between Eastern etiquette and Western etiquette."

"If we Chinese only know how to imitate blindly, degenerate 'ritual' into 'performance art', and think that it is a kind of progress, I just think it is really a kind of degeneration and irony."

"It's up to you to say that!" Chi Xueli rolled her eyes: "You can't stop your mouth even if it's delicious."

"Don't talk, don't talk." At this time, the Italian macaroni and creamy soup came up, and Zhou Zhi pulled off a large piece of his black pepper steak: "Shu Yi, try this taste, it's not bad, how much do you want for pasta?" Eat some."

"Huh? Zhou Zhi, have we eaten this before?" Jiang Shuyi looked at the macaroni: "You told us that it's called snail shell noodles."

"The material is indeed macaroni, and the method is actually similar, but I served it with stir-fried lamb with cumin onions. I don't know if Italians will scold the street after eating it."

"I can't see that Jiachuan is a small place where you can buy everything."

"Hi! It's so funny to talk about this." Zhou Zhi said: "It was produced by a flour factory in Longgan Province, which introduced an Italian macaroni production line, and then put all Italian on the packaging, and sent it to the Canton Fair to coax it. Foreigners buy and earn foreign exchange for the country’s exports.”

"My old man downstairs has a very good relationship with our family. Their third brother runs a cosmetics store in Manzhou and often travels to Guangzhou. His biggest hobby is to buy things he doesn't know as gifts."

"So?" Chi Xueli had already expected that the story was about to start exciting.

"So the third brother saw this and thought it was a good product from abroad. The key is that it is rare and cheap, so he bought a lot and brought it back as a gift."

"The result is the macaroni produced in our country's Long-Gan Province. It traveled thousands of miles to Guangzhou, and then brought it back. No one in my hometown knew how to eat it. Upstairs, Guan Tingting's mother cooked it once as a noodle. , I think it is slippery and tough, not very tasty."

"Ah? Hahahaha..." Chi Xueli laughed and said, "How did you do that elbow?"

"I went to the Xinhua Bookstore to check the recipe, and found out that this thing is macaroni. It turned out to be a kind of Western food. The recipe is actually almost the same as our burning noodles, hot dry noodles, especially fried noodles in Northwest China."

"Western food ingredients are hard to find, so we can prepare them in Western dishes."

"It's delicious." Jiang Shuyi tasted two mouthfuls of Jinjiang Hotel's pasta made with red sauce, and then pushed it to Zhou Zhi: "Zhou Zhi's cooking is much more delicious than this."

"The method is actually fried mutton with scallions, but the scallions are replaced with onions, and the ingredients are added with a little bit of cumin. Put the snail shell noodles in a boiling water pot with salt and cook until they are raw, then remove the dripping water and set aside, wait until the scallions are fried and the mutton is fried When it’s done, pour the noodles in and mix well, it’s very simple.”

"Hmm... is there something simpler?"

"Ah, this..." Zhou Zhi thought for a while, pointed at the plate of noodles on the table with a fork, "Here, red sauce noodles, chopped tomatoes into puree, heat oil, sauté minced garlic, add minced onion, and fry until fragrant. Turn from light purple to white, add tomato puree, stir fry for a while, turn off the heat, cover the pot and cook for half an hour, the tomato sauce is ready."

"Salt the pasta in boiling water and cook for 15 minutes until there is no hard spot in the middle of the pasta. Pick it up and put it on a plate and pour red sauce on it."

"Sister Chi, if you still think the taste is monotonous, you can add some white water shrimp and beans."

Chi Xueli thought for a while: "It seems that I can do this."

"Of course." Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing: "Remember to use olive oil, if you can add a little butter, it will be even more fragrant."

"Xue Li, what can you do?" A nice female voice sounded at the door, but it was Jiang Shuyi's sister-in-law and elder brother who had arrived.

"Come to my house this weekend, and I'll show you off." Chi Xueli triumphantly said: "Make Italian macaroni! I'll treat everyone to Western food!"

"Oh, don't dare to be fooled by this!" Tang Qi couldn't help joking with Chi Xueli: "The person who almost set the dormitory on fire has a dark history."

"Are you used to Shuyi?" Jiang Wu frowned when he looked at the things on the table: "Qiqi, you can do whatever you want. I'll just use this basket of bread and add this soup."

"That's what I like." Tang Qi said angrily, "Order!"

"Sister-in-law is fine, just let the eldest brother eat my share, and Zhou Zhi and I can share his share."

"That's not necessary, I'll invite you today as agreed." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, Sister Qiqi, you can order whatever you want."

"I really can't get used to this. Go out and make some dumplings later? I know a Harbin dumpling that is good."

"Don't talk about it here, okay?" Tang Qi looked around, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Do you have hot pot with sour cabbage and vermicelli?" Zhou Zhi picked up the topic: "We Chinese are more particular about the combination of meat and vegetables. I have eaten this foreign fried meat and noodles with mixed sauce. It is also worth a visit."

"That's right, let's have another plate of fresh meat and leek dumplings, another plate of egg and cabbage dumplings, and a bottle of Erguotou..." Jiang Wu was very happy to tease Zhou Zhi, and it was only here that he saw his wife's face was a little ugly: "Uh...the wine Never mind……"

"Brother Jiang served as a soldier in the north?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"My brother has a master's degree from Harbin Military Engineering." Jiang Shuyi said.

"Hey, I'm doing administrative work now. As soon as I hit the door with a master's degree, I have lost all my majors." Jiang Wu explained, as if he was laughing at himself: "A revolutionary soldier needs to move a brick wherever he wants! By the way, today I don't know much about this until now, Xue Li, you and... Elbow, right? What's your relationship?"

"It's also fate." Chi Xueli giggled and said, "At first I went to interview Elbow's grandmother, an old underground party member. Later, Elbow came to find me during the holidays. Our siblings teamed up, but we did a lot. Big deal!"

As for helping Jiachuan County Middle School to develop a question bank, facilitating Jiachuan Middle School and Shudu Key Middle School to achieve joint construction cooperation and study tour exchanges, and before she asked Zhou Zhi to do "Wang Cong Temple Travel Notes", and later Zhou Zhi asked her to do "Aspiring Youth" topic, This series of things is actually the result of mutual achievements between Chi Xueli and Zhou Zhi, and it is also the faint pride in Chi Xueli's heart.

It’s just that Chi Xueli has been struggling with no "witnesses" before, and Chi Xueli is not easy to show off in front of her girlfriends. Now she can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and she is so elated that she said it like a hype, and she would say this sentence from time to time: "You say elbow, Wasn't that the case?!"

Zhou Zhiwan didn't expect Sister Chi to be so good at boasting, so she could only agree with her: "Yes! I can prove it! Sister Chi has outstanding ability, wise decision-making, and outstanding achievements. She is indeed the host with the highest overall quality in the province and Taiwan!"
