Follow the protagonist to pursue famous dishes, act heroically and witness important moments in history | Young Chef
The story of the young chef is set in modern times, and a secret organization called "Kitchen Gang" controls the catering industry. 13-year-old Zhida participated in a conspiracy to help the lords inherit, and embarked on a fantastic journey through ancient and modern cuisine in order to save his mother.
Thirteen years old, at the crossroads of life; Children of this age are not completely childlike, but they always have big dreams of traveling around the world in the Spring and Autumn Period, like a sparrow's body brewing big ambitions. The road to growth will inevitably encounter headwinds. At this time, it played the role of catalyst, exercised the wings of birds, and made the weak mind more mature until it could really support the dream of flying high.
Zhida, the protagonist in the book, is in this young age. He has an extraordinary life background and is under greater pressure than ordinary children, but he also has a better experience. Whether it is mother's misfortune or violent conflict on campus, we can all see Zhida's delicate gentleness: he always cares about his mother and will save his loved ones even if he is in danger; He tolerated the enemy and did not retroactively tolerate and understand him. For hatred, Zhida also shows precocity beyond his peers: knowing how to restrain his impulses and not be emotional easily is a major issue that teenagers urgently need to learn. "Treat others with your heart and act with your brain" is the attitude of Zhida in the book. He tried to strike a balance between the surge of emotion and the precipitation of reason. Thanks to this, Zhida can get out of danger again and again.
In addition to paying attention to personal growth, this book is a rigorous description of historical research and cooking. It skillfully uses the popular theme of crossing, and then combines food with the style of early martial arts novels, which is quite refreshing. Under the packaging of various elements, the keynote of this book is tolerance, and all the cuisines in it have their own unique style, and there is no difference. In the concept of "hearth gang", inheritance is always an important part of culture. Cooking is the same as martial arts, and so is the mother-child affection of the protagonist's family. Whether it is the inheritance ceremony of the leader or the integration of various sects, it is based on mutual recognition and respect; Even if you are the son of Wang, Zhida is not arrogant to his peers, but like an equal partner in adversity.
This is a book about growth, but it is not a book with a strong didactic flavor. It arranges the topics that teenagers must face in each chapter one by one, so that readers can see things from the perspective of wisdom and wisdom, and also overcome barriers in a subtle way and grow up with him. It is really a good book worth recommending to teenagers.
