What can you eat to tell a person's character? Nothing more than talking in class! Not exactly. I have been eating slowly since I was a child, and my family is not that bad. Poor or rich, from the point of view of eating, it is not class solidification. Let's read some short stories!
When it comes to the eating habits of manual workers, we can generally imagine such an image: sitting on a kang stool, legs left and right, or squatting aside; Hold the bowl or lunch box high, chew hard, or grin and chat while eating. The eating environment is usually poor or average, greasy and sticky, flying head.
Daily satiety depends on small restaurants along the street or illegal street vendors. Brothers and villagers get together to drink and find a cleaner restaurant. The desktop is covered with cheap plastic striped tablecloth or white tablecloth, disposable chopsticks and miscellaneous brand paper towels are scattered around the table, and several large characters are written on the plastic-sealed double-sided menu, and a corner of the plastic-sealed has been opened. Affordability is the most important thing, and chatting after eating and drinking is qualified.
I have dealt with such classes.
Xiaofeng is a van driver and often comes to the factory to load and unload goods to earn some extra money. In order to save trouble, he often looks for roadside vendors to buy lunch boxes and stops at remote roadside stalls. Regardless of his image, he wheezed a box lunch in the driver's seat.
When the workers call it a day and catch up with the meal, he occasionally sneaks into the canteen and asks the cook for a meal. Stir-fried cabbage that is fatter than lean pork, or shredded pork and vegetarian dishes, snore with seaweed soup. Some workers also ask their aunts for green onions, so they eat steamed bread or burritos.
Xiao Feng is not the only one. The workers next door quickly grilled rice, picked vegetables, poured Tonga rice and swept a table of vegetables. Who cares about image?
In the factory, everyone worked hard, joking occasionally, and then silence was restored. Although the salary is not high, it is enough to save money and send it to my aunt who is far away from home. Wear work clothes to eat in the canteen, so you can save it. With such a living environment and such an idea, where do you think we can eat?
Faced with the embarrassment of life, people don't care whether the food is good-looking or ugly.
Both Julien, the famous Madame Bovary, and Matilda, the heroine in Mo Bosang's Necklace, once yearned to be a nobleman and were obsessed with it.
Aristocratic aperitif, salad, appetizer, thick soup, staple food, black tea or coffee with snacks are enough to make those who can only satisfy their hunger with wheat flour or black bread dumbfounded.
In Europe, especially in Britain and France, people didn't eat much before noon, so afternoon tea was a meal. Dinner is dinner, and that's how the word dinner comes from.
Let's look at the way French aristocrats eat dinner. Dinner is served at five o'clock in the evening. Guests should wash their hands before taking their seats. There is a piece of dry bread as a plate in front of each guest. Luxury hollows out steamed buns as bowls and rewards them to servants after meals.
Pray by the priest and provide an appetizer, usually a salad, consisting of various seasonal vegetables and sprinkled with a little white vinegar. After eating, bread and butter appeared. The first main course is usually a bowl of thick soup, and solid food will appear after two or three courses.
With luck, there will be games. No game, eat salted pork. Meat from poultry and livestock is more common. Desserts include almond paste, waffles, cupcakes, fresh fruits, etc., which can be enjoyed after meals.
I want to ask so many delicious dishes to taste one by one, and each serving is still a small one. How can I shine at the dinner table? I'm dizzy with hunger, and I'm on pins and needles when I see through it at a glance.
By the same token, it is well known that Emperor China ate lavishly, and the Manchu-Han banquet was a palace feast in the Qing Dynasty. Imagine that you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and you have to taste dozens of dishes every meal. In this case, will you still gobble it?
It's not just eating fine and complicated. Of course, the cultivation of nobility does not happen overnight. Parents' words and deeds, etiquette teacher's teaching, enough to let them know the fun of tasting food. This taste is not limited to the carnival-like indulgence of delicacies every day, but the result of deep infiltration of education.
Maybe next, you will say, everyone has become an aristocrat, and wouldn't * * * capitalism have already been realized? We can't all be real aristocrats. European aristocrats have been declining since the Middle Ages.
It's great to be a spiritual aristocrat Even if the family or individual income is not rich, people who have a lot of social experience and know a certain upbringing are also considered "nobles."
From the perspective of eating habits, they will pay attention to a balanced intake of dietary nutrition; Try to cook by yourself and don't solve it at will; Regularity of eating time of three meals; Chew slowly when eating and focus on the taste of food; Don't say anything when eating, and don't engage in any other activities at the same time.
Such a person's taste in life is certainly not bad, because he focuses on the present and is exquisite in his lifestyle. How can such a person be considered a "poor man"?
On the contrary, if a person spends a lot of money, he often goes in and out of various star hotels. Clap your lips when eating, make a loud noise when drinking soup, laugh and curse when eating, and insist on smoking "fairy smoke" in the hotel regardless of the waiter's dissuasion after dinner.
Even if he eats the buffet in a high-end hotel or the ingredients cooked by a three-star Michelin chef, how can such education reach the poor and educated people?
Eating reflects a person's dining etiquette. These have nothing to do with a person's wealth, but only with his cultivation and personality.
Then I remembered Li Liangping's A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles. I believe many friends have read this article when they were young. Two years ago, I found a bowl of clear soup buckwheat noodles, which was taken in 1989 with the same theme.
Due to translation problems, it is understandable to change the smooth surface of early years into sunny surface to suit the national conditions and attract people to replace it.
The scene of a family of three, mother and son sharing a bowl of buckwheat noodles, is vivid and touching.
Because of his father's sudden death, he owed huge debts, and his mother had to raise two sons in addition to paying the debts. Such a family is poor! Although poor, the mother tried her best to take her children to eat a delicious meal on New Year's Eve. No matter how poor she is, she insists on paying, and she appreciates the kindness of the shopkeeper and his wife. This kind of education can really be seen from the way you eat.
Sure enough, after many years, the mother and son have already moved away, and the two brothers have become talents. Mother and son were neither supercilious nor supercilious, and ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles for everyone. No extravagance and waste. Most importantly, they came to the noodle restaurant to pay tribute to the boss and remember their help on New Year's Eve for many years. This kind of character and upbringing is really admirable!
Many parents have children, and they are always worried that their children will be picky about food, lose their temper and have no rules, and become "Xiong Haizi". As far as eating habits are concerned, parents are always the first imitators, teachers and role models of their children. Other behavior education, and so on.
If parents don't have a partial eclipse, children won't be picky eaters. Parents will pay attention to the taste of food when eating, and children will learn to taste it carefully. On the contrary, if parents brush their mobile phones, watch TV and have various entertainments while eating, children will be easily distracted, leading to more activity in the future.
Eating can show education, and it is by no means a kind word for grandstanding. Poor families are not always boors, and whales drink cattle; Similarly, children from wealthy families, without good examples and guidance from their parents, may be poorly brought up at the dinner table, which is disgusting.
From the point of view of eating, would you rather be a poor aristocrat, or just be scolded as a nouveau riche all your life? So are the children.
