The leisurely life of rebirth.

Mr. Lin laughed and said, "It is said that the white meat of Lizhuang evolved from the fact that King Wu of Zhou launched an army to attack Zhou. People from all walks of life in the uprising took slices of the severed demon fox Su Daji and dipped them in garlic. It is because the meat is thin and long. , and wrap it with a chopstick and eat it, which is called 'foot-bound meat'."

"Pfft...it's really impressive." Father Fang smiled, the rolled white meat really looks like it, maybe the name was too unsightly, so it was changed.

Although it is not far away, it is almost the same.

Feth counted the vegetables while eating, "There are tomatoes, onions, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, celery...why am I eating Western food!"

Hughes suddenly said, "These few vegetables are all imported from abroad. So Feth doesn't feel awkward at all!" He looked at Fang Monan and said in admiration, "Doctor Fang really took great pains!" [

"Carrots came 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 food until they like it." Fang Monan paused Then he said, "If I gave Feth the whole couple's lung slices and nine bowel movements, Feith would probably faint me right away! Let alone eat it."

Grandma said clearly, "So even if Nannan opens a Chinese restaurant, he must use ingredients they are familiar with, cook in Chinese style, and make changes step by step!"

Fang Monan nodded, and said with great interest, "We have a saying that one side of the soil nourishes the other, and there is another word called the unacceptability of the water and soil, which fully explains the inertia of people themselves."

Fang Monan paused, and then said meaningfully: "Although we like to try something new, in fact, 90.00% of people will not be surprised when they taste a certain ingredient for the first time, or how to say that they are the first to eat it?" The man with the tomato is a hero!"

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

In the 16th century, the British Duke Olo Dagri brought back a tomato seedling from South America and dedicated it to his lover, Queen Elizabeth of England.Since then, tomatoes have fallen to Europe, but still no one dares to eat them.At the time, British doctors warned that eating tomatoes could be life-threatening.If Colonel Robert, an American, hadn't taken an unprecedented action, I'm afraid people still don't know what a tomato tastes like.

When Colonel Robert ate tomatoes in front of the townspeople, 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 safe and sound, and waved to everyone.People responded with warm applause, and the orchestra played a triumphant tune for him. "

"How about Shennong tasting all kinds of herbs. How could he be admired by the world, just because of No.1! Known as Emperor Yan, one of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of China!" Fang Monan said with a smile.

"Shen Nong tastes hundreds of herbs!" Feith's eyes were full of question marks.

Mr. Lin said with a smile, "Shen Nong is the legendary inventor of agriculture and medicine. One of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns.

People in ancient times lived a life of gathering, fishing and hunting, and Shennong invented and made wooden lei and wooden pike.Teach people agricultural production.

It reflects the transition from gathering, fishing and hunting to farming in the primitive age of China at that time.It is also said that he tasted all kinds of herbs, discovered medicinal materials, and taught people to cure diseases.After Fuxi, Shennong is another legendary figure who has made a lot of contributions to the Chinese nation. "

The old man paused and continued, "It is said that Shen Nong was born with a 'crystal belly', which was almost completely transparent. All the internal organs and six internal organs could be seen, and the food that was eaten. At that time, people often He got sick and even died from eating indiscriminately. For this reason, Shennong decided to taste all kinds of herbs. He put the edible ones in the left bag of his body and introduced them to others; the bad ones put them in the right bag of his body as medicine. Use it. Remind people to pay attention to what they can’t eat.”

"Although it is a legend, such a courageous person can be a hero!" Feith said with a thumbs up.

"Doctor Fang is right, it's not okay to be too good all at once! The high-end dishes that Chinese people like to eat. Abalone, shark's fin, etc., foreigners really don't appreciate it." Hughes said.

Feith smiled and said, "With Dr. Fang's four dishes, I believe Chinese restaurants in the United States will be successful!" If he was hesitant before, he is full of confidence now.

"Actually, the bottom line is the strong inclusiveness of Chinese food!" Mr. Lin put down his chopsticks when he was full. The meaning, the old man has his own unique explanation: "The reason why Chinese cuisine can travel all over the world is because it combines traditional Chinese cooking skills with local elements. Chinese cuisine is not only a set of cuisines, it also fully reflects local conditions. philosophy."

Fang Monan echoed, "The great inclusiveness of Chinese food, Chinese food is now mostly mixed, it has a hyphen: for example, Chinese-Venezuelan, Chinese-Norwegian, Chinese-Madagascar, etc. However, this also makes Many foreigners who have been to China often lament that the Chinese food they eat elsewhere is very different from the Chinese food in China only when they arrive in China.”

Father Fang said, "Too inclusive, that's why people feel that foreign Chinese food is very foreign!"[

Mr. Lin pursed his lips, and said with deep meaning, "In fact, since the reform and opening up, Chinese food has incorporated many Western elements, from burgers and fried chicken to milk, ice cream, sweeteners, and fizzy dishes." More and more western food delicacies are absorbed by Chinese people.

The great inclusiveness shown by the Chinese people in their eating habits will enable Huaxia to stride more confidently in the world in the future.It's also a very valuable lesson when it comes to soft power competition. "

Fang Monan inadvertently rubbed his nose and said, "From another aspect, it also reflects that the world's economic center is in the United States. Eat all over the world to 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 nodded with a smile, and said a philosophical sentence, "One flower, one world, one meal, one country!"

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

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

"This statement is new." Mother Fang said with a smile.

"Before the 19th century, China was the center of the world economy. The wealth of the economy gave birth to a variety of food cultures. The food culture of the common people in the peaceful and prosperous age was also rich. Foreign trade created an eclectic Chinese food culture. The economic wealth was derived from the looseness of politics. , The economic development brought about by the same source of "medicine and food"." Mr. Lin said with emotion, "That is the era that everyone envies!"

"Medicine and food come from the same source?" Feith asked puzzled.

"Eat it on an empty stomach as food, and patients eat it as "medicine". The Neijing says: To cure a disease with a large poison, six out of ten should be eliminated; To cure a disease, nine out of ten should be eliminated; grain, meat, fruit and vegetables should be nourished as much as possible, and it can be called the earliest dietary therapy principle. Diet is "medicine" in a certain sense. Foods with "medicinal" effects are combined to form dishes." Qiu Lian said.

"Hehe...Let's put it this way!" Fang Monan picked up the chopsticks and pointed to the bottom of the plate, "Cloves, star anise, fennel, medlar, and basil are both medicine and food."

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

"Before the Industrial Revolution, world trade was centered on 'food'. European countries expanded overseas and the wars that accompanied the expansion were all for the benefit of food. Therefore, food is the center of the economy and the cultural center of each country. In modern times, Europe has developed two different schools of food culture. 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 laughed.

"Well! That makes sense, but British food is terrible!" Mr. Lin has a deep understanding, he curled his lips and said, "Britain relies on food trade to seize world economic hegemony, but it is incredible that Britain has not formed a highly developed food culture. Not only that, Britain is even called "the country with the worst food". Although Britain has gradually formed a black tea culture, it cannot make wine due to the unsuitable climate, and I don't know if it is because of the British wheat variety. Unpalatable."

"So in the past 200 years, although Britain and the United States controlled international politics, it was French cuisine that was world-renowned." Fang Monan said playfully.

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed.

Mr. Lin looked at Fang Monan and scolded with a smile, "You girl, but you are right!" He went on to say, "In the eyes of the French, apart from French cuisine, German and British cuisine are hard to come by. The elegant hall is completely simple and rustic. Although there are dishes such as Yorkshire pudding and roast beef in the UK, these are home-cooked dishes after all. The same is true in Germany. A dish made of meat. The French also criticized Spain without any scruples, saying that Africa is beyond the Pyrenees.

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 that was originally exclusive to the court spread to the citizens. Slowly, Paris It has become the gourmet capital of the world. "
