Fang Monan tapped the sofa very rhythmically with his index finger, "Talk about ten thousand, but the most important thing is the taste. Western media criticized Chinese food as heavy oil and salty.

The traditional cooking method of Chinese food, the "thick oil red sauce" cooking method, is generally considered to be too heavy, too much oil, and there is always an indispensable MSG. Many Chinese chefs can't operate without MSG.

After all, we have been a large agricultural country for a long time, and many people are engaged in heavy manual labor.At that time, we emphasized that 'human beings are iron, food is steel', and having enough food is the first goal; now we are still working hard to achieve the goal of food and clothing!

Eating vegetables is only for 'going with rice', so we cook the vegetables so that they are salty, oily, thick, and thick.Because there is less meat, we always agree with and even desire "fat"; good food is "fat meat", good deeds are "poor fat", and the concept of wealth is "oil and water". "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 couldn't understand the fun of Chinese! [

Western talents have been liberated from manual labor for a few years, and they criticize that eating too much salt is not good. If you let them 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 extra food, so every cooking is very large; in order not to let When the vegetables are spoiled, heavy salt and heavy ingredients, thick oily red sauce must be placed in baskets and hung in a ventilated place, ready to be eaten for several days.

When I was a child, because of my height, I would often hit my head on the vegetable basket, making my head and body covered in black soy sauce and vegetable soup. "

"Hehe..." Chang Jiuchun laughed, it can be seen that I had a deep understanding when I was young, but I knew it was because I stole it or because of my tall stature.

Chang Jiuchun was worried, and the master swept over him like a beast.There is always the dilemma of being seen through.

"In order to eat more, the dishes are made with thick oil and red sauce; for the convenience of storage, the food is very salty; because the transportation is not smooth, it is difficult to buy 'fresh', usually smoked, cured, pickled Ingredients. These pickled foods can be eaten for half a year. All of these determine the characteristics of traditional Chinese food." Fang Monan said.

"Certainly don't equate takeaway fast food with Chinese food, any more than you can equate bland, mediocre bread from the supermarket with French food."

"That's why! Doctor Fang needs you to spread the real Chinese cuisine to the whole world!" Feith really spared no effort and encouraged him vigorously.

have to!Said in a circle and turned back.

Grandma also came to join in the fun, "Anyway, I also plan to end the current Mo Ji, and I also want to break into the world!" She is very ambitious now. "Let Xiao Bei, who runs all over the world, have something to eat!"

"Okay! Okay!" Mo Bei said, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. "Grandma still loves me the most."

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

Grandma's eyes froze. "The sage said: Governing a big country is like cooking small fish! If we don't govern the country, can't we cook small fish! I don't believe that it can't be done based on my experience!"

Fang Monan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma! It's a long-term plan! It's not as easy as you said. How dare you think about it!"

"There is nothing you dare not think about." Grandma is now bursting with confidence. "People are great because of their dreams!"

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

Vera and Vikara also echoed. "Miss' 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 later! [

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

"Hnly. The name of this restaurant is good!" Hughes licked his mouth.

"What's the explanation for this?" Grandma asked humbly, it can be seen that she really cared about it.

"Hnly seems to be related to Chinese food at first glance, but it's not a bad idea. Because 'ly' not only means 'daily', but also means 'often, every day'. Who can live without three meals a day?" Hughes He said with a smile on his eyebrows, "It seems that Dr. Fang has a lot of ideas in his mind! Look at how well he even named it! It is to provide real Chinese food to local people in places other than Huaxia."

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

Although we are still far behind.But it is different in the West. The intensity of people’s physical labor is generally reduced, and the conditions for transportation and fresh-keeping have also improved a lot. Let's talk!

The traditional cooking techniques of Chinese food were brought abroad a long time ago; so at the moment when the living conditions of human beings 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 to make some adjustments?Of course, this adjustment is not just to one-sidedly cater to the tastes of Westerners, but to show the essence and charm of Chinese food, so as to attract more local guests. "

The old man continued with great interest, "In terms of dishes, we have cold salad, hot soup, stir-fried vegetables, porridge, noodles and rice; , stewing, stewing... There are so many essences left by our ancestors, why do we only focus on fried chicken, fried duck, sweet and sour?

I remember a Chinese owner who opened a Chinese restaurant in Germany commented on the German guests with disdain: what would they eat?Fried duck with sweet and sour sauce is their best dish!Is it true?If this boss came to China for a walk and saw the Europeans feasting on authentic Chinese restaurants, he would definitely change his dishes.

Let the chef step back a little, lighten 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, there is another reason that the price of a Chinese meal is equivalent to the price of a Western meal. Therefore, it is impossible for more customers Enjoy the delicacy of Chinese food.”

Fang Monan recalled his life in studying abroad and said, "Actually, Chinese food is also very particular about steps. Cold dishes start, which is equivalent to appetizers in Western food; then hot dishes are served, with meat and vegetables, and raw and cooked are reasonable; finally, soup and seams are served, so that the People feel full after drinking and eating. 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 will end up hastily. Whenever I see European guests in Chinese restaurants I ordered sweet and sour duck and ate it alone, and I often jokingly blamed the waiter: Why don’t you ignore it? Isn’t this ruining our Chinese food?”

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Nannan is right. In order to cater to the way of eating Western food, foreign Chinese food has completely lost the enjoyment of Chinese food. The order comes up one after another, and every dish is shared by everyone. "Sharing" is also the most important taste of Chinese food; if you eat alone, there is really no need to eat Chinese food.

When it comes to hygiene, wouldn't it be enough to have 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 need to ask how your fish fillets are. Everyone can enjoy the deliciousness of all the dishes fairly, and because of the abundance of food, many interesting topics have been sparked, isn’t it? 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, "Different from the model that Chinese food is almost entirely dependent on overseas Chinese, many countries use government actions to build food soft power. The French Food Association is currently in 34 offices have been set up in 39 countries around the world, with the goal of 'embodying French economy and politics with French food.' A Japanese diplomat who once worked in the United Nations wrote that one of his main tasks during his work was to hire people Eat Japanese food and introduce Japan to people'."

Fang Monan knew that Father Fang was moved, just like the "Korean food globalization strategy" implemented by the Korean government in later generations, which declared that Korean food would be developed into one of the "top five foods in the world".

Why is it that in the era of mixed cooking, only Japanese food, and even less influential Korean food, became popular in the United States, while Chinese food was ignored by American chefs?Why can't this famous dish of mapo tofu, which is enough to represent Chinese food standing at the top of the culinary pyramid in the world, appear in high-end restaurants in Manhattan?

The stick meal and Japanese food spare no effort to spread overseas!Thinking about Chinese people Ha Bangzi and Ha Ri, they just look down on eating delicious food for thousands of years!It's such a good thing that you clearly carry it in your bosom, but turn a blind eye to it.

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 world's five major food countries are China, France, Italy, Japan and Thai food, and the stick meal is obviously limited by its national strength and national culture.Compared with Chinese food, the biggest disadvantage of Bangzi Meal is that the variety of meals is not rich enough.

In South Korea, each restaurant only focuses on one type of food. Many housewives dare to open restaurants as long as they have "one trick" such as ginseng chicken soup, fried noodles, and kimchi.In addition, Korean expatriates, the carrier of overseas catering, are far behind overseas Chinese in terms of quantity and scope.

There is no reason why it is worse than Japanese meals and stick meals!Now it's just about changing 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 cuisines, Chinese food is not positioned as luxurious enough.The multi-directionality and richness of Chinese food make it have the potential to become the taste of the world. "Perhaps no more than 10% of Westerners read "The Analects of Confucius", but 100% of Westerners eat Chinese food; It is a vague concept in the eyes, but a Chinese restaurant is a very specific cultural symbol. Chinese food can be said to be the most successful cuisine in the world through large-scale penetration rather than relying on national strategies.[
