Chen Xiaoqing has a happy face of culinary orgasm, whenever he talks about food, it always makes me think of the aroma of black beans floating out of the pot, the rumbling sound of Bashu hot pot, the overflowing shiny luster of deep-fried meat, the taste buds awakened when the sea urchin sushi bursts out of the sweet and moist softness of the freshly killed Teochew beef, and the fluttering of the residual warmth of the freshly slaughtered beef. That kind of expression is the longing for a long time but do not get the heart itch, is a shallow taste but not the endless aftertaste.
01 Eaters talk about food with a twinkle in his eye
When it comes to food, his eyes are always twinkling with light, serious and lively, sophisticated and spontaneous. He can taste the sophistication of a three-star Michelin restaurant, but he can also recognize the unique character of a street-side restaurant, and he's never superstitious about the standard of food, saying that "there are always masters in the folk world".
In the jungle, Chen Xiaoqing has many legends. Rumor has it that he lost a cell phone with information on thousands of restaurants - and not only how to get to the restaurant, but also what dishes to order, what matters should be reminded of the waiter, so it can be said to provide a one-stop service for catering information.
Chen Xiaoqing is known as the "street sweeping mouth", the brain stored in the capital city food map, "in Beijing within the sixth ring can not find a place to eat, as long as the address sent to him, less than 5 minutes, a restaurant recommended text message will come to the side.
This skill is not limited to mainland China, Chen Xiaoqing himself said on the spot when recording the program: Hong Kong and Paris, I can.
No wonder Leung said he was never a regular foodie. And a person can be "good" to such an extent, he is like walking around the streets to collect the world's food. Most of us are good eaters, but we are far from his kind of "drill".
02 eaters happy to share food
On weekdays, we talk about the most is "where to eat", "what to eat", for "how to eat".
We usually talk a lot about "where to eat" and "what to eat", but for "how to eat", we don't know much about it, we just think it's delicious.
Once we went to eat Ba Ren hot pot, the waiter served up a plate of tripe, we stared straight at the whole process, the water is open to copy the chopsticks to the pot, Ya Ya students see us delayed and did not fish up, alarmed:
"Dare you all eat tripe like this ah! The maw under the pot to seven on eight down to shabu to delicious mile", said, yaya then picked up chopsticks clip up a corner of the maw, put into the pot to stay for two or three seconds, and then from the pot to clip out, hanging in front of the chest to cool down for a second, repeat the above action 8 times or so, then shabu good maw thrown in my bowl, "taste it, taste how ~"
The maw is the most important part of the maw, but it is not the only part of the maw that is not in the pot, but it is also the most important part of the maw. ".
Not to mention, the tripe she scalded was crispy and delicious, warm and suitable, not raw and not old, and the flavor was "just right", so tasty that it made people doubt their lives. In the words of the current popularity - is it possible that I have eaten a fake tripe before?
Everyone looked at my bowl of tripe, YaYa can not bear to disappoint public opinion, and separately to each person are "seven on eight down" hot belly. The hot pot of the heat wave of the long rise, Ya Ya's cheeks slightly red, everyone's heart thumping.
Later, every time we ate hot pot, I would think of Yaya, and I couldn't forget the way she shabu-shabu the tripe for us, which looked so beautiful, like the Goddess of Mercy in the 86th edition of Journey to the West. "Sister Guanyin, with her left hand on a willow vase, and her right hand on the tripe, was flipping up and down in the boiling broth. That look can be really beautiful ah, bling ~ bling ~ shining!
Years later, I may have long forgotten the Han Wang Road, Ba Ren hot pot, the waiter just served up fresh ingredients, but I can not forget the tender tripe hot Ya Ya, she said to me: "tripe pot to be seven on the eight down to shabu to be delicious.
I'm still grateful to those who not only love food, but are also willing to share with me the good dolls.
03 Eaters have strong principles
Gourmet food, as the name suggests, is delicious food. But as a maverick little flower pig, I actually I don't really like to use the word gourmet.
Because gourmet is too broad to be exclusive. Anyone can call anything they love to eat gourmet. And I just like to call them yummy.
"Good food" must be a kind of food that I have personally tasted and can't get enough of over a long period of time - something to look forward to before eating, and something to look back on after eating.
It brings me not only a simple sensory experience, but also a pleasant spiritual enjoyment. Good food will make people stay on earth.
Good food will also give me the right to speak. I think it's a good thing that I think it's really good. I think it's a good idea to have a good time, but I don't think it's a good idea to have a good time. I think it's a good idea to have a good time, and I think it's a good idea to have a good time, and I think it's a good idea to have a good time, and I think it's a good idea to have a good time.
The most fascinating thing about food is that it is a very detailed process of matching, which is not possible without any ingredient, and which step is not possible without it, "timing", "location", The "people and" ready, that just good flavor to be able to be natural.
Let's talk about the "noodle code" of the old Beijing fried noodles. The thinly sliced shredded heart beauty, cucumber, water radish, refreshing and delicious; thinly sliced slices of green garlic, a few small slices but very flavorful, as well as very poorly boiled soybeans, adding a few points of soybean flavor. Which one of them is missing, it is not the taste.
Stir-fried mushrooms and celery should be blanched with water in order to be delicious, rotten meat noodles in the meat to be stir-fried in soy sauce and rock sugar sauce simmered over low heat in order to be flavorful enough, scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the egg must be added to salt and stirred evenly before frying to be tasty, to do the pineapple rice must choose a large juicy and ripe pineapple ah ~
I have to say that the achievement of some of the food is simply a door of learning, metaphysics + philosophy.
04 Eaters can get energy from food
If there is any practical value in food, it is to say that it is the source of my creativity. Whenever I can't write copy, I just pop something in my mouth and inspiration comes to me. For example, at this very moment, I have eaten all my stock, what to do? Can't write anymore! Turning to the last layer of the drawer, there is a Li Qiao Ke Na Baodi chocolate flavor wafer cookies, bling ~ bling ~ shiny, quickly copied up to tear open the packaging, delicious mouth, inspiration will then come ~ ah ~ what a wonderful experience!
Not to mention tasting the food, every time I order food, it makes my heart pound, and I have the feeling of being the king of the world:
Chopped fish head roast duck, sweet and sour pork ribs and shrimp, and more vinegar on the bridge rice noodles.
Waist flower bean skin pig red, beer hemp lamb waist , KFC big potatoes more ketchup packets !
Eaters can get energy from the food, inspired by the desire to create, such as these heartfelt food poetry ~
05 Eaters have food on the action
Eaters have food on the action, often manifested externally from the perception of impulsive behavior up to action. The gluttony of the brain, said to go, never hesitation. Even if on the knife mountain, under the fire sea is also in the will not hesitate. Heavenly things, let me finish eating this mouthful before saying. It is the highest state of the foodie.
On this point Chen Xiaoqing experienced. 08 years after the Wenchuan earthquake, he went to Qingchuan County on the way to deliver supplies, due to the collapse of the bridge can not go forward, simply go to the nearby restaurant risked a fat intestines. (Qingchuan is very close to Jiangyou, the home of the world's fat sausage) just ate the first bite, the aftershock came, all the people in the restaurant rushed out and ran clean. Chen Xiaoqing also followed the run, but ran halfway to remember the taste of fat intestines, risking their lives, and returned to the table to continue to eat. The "gourmets" for food obsession, called "love food than love life".
On weekdays, we do not often encounter such a profound test, but on the spur of the moment, fleeing the CBD business district of takeout, flying to Lanzhou to eat a bowl of authentic ramen, back to Shaanxi to regain the flavor of their hometowns, and to go elsewhere to awaken the numbness of the taste buds, but also is not a rare thing. The first thing you need to do is to get to a place where you can get to a place where you can get to your favorite restaurant.
I remember when I was a kid, my sister and I had to eat a snack that was not available locally, and we each asked for two dollars from our families, and planned to sneak thirty kilometers away from the downtown mall to buy it. The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was the first time I'd ever seen a kid in the world. The first time I saw this, I was worried that the four-wheeled children's bicycles in the corner of the dust for a long time solved the worries of the two of us.
Say go, I carry my sister, all the way to sing all the way to laugh, even if the sky is already dark clouds, even if we were already a big child, four-wheeled bike wobbly, flat tires, but think of it that flavor, can not help but full of chicken blood: forward! The victory is in the distance, XX brand snacks, we are here~~
After riding for nearly three hours, we finally arrived at the department store! Carefully pulling out a crumpled two-dollar bill (yes, a whole two-dollar bill was still common at that time), which had been soaked in sweat, I took out the "goodies" and put them on the table. I held the "good food" in my hand with a lot of emotion, clutching the handlebars for nearly three hours of hand tremors want to tear open the package, and eat a lot of food.
My sister, however, said with a serious face, "Don't be in a hurry, go home and then eat, or else you can't go back to the road.
I looked at the gloomy sky, carefully put the snacks into the pants pocket, finally did not eat.
The return of the sister to drive me, riding halfway, the sky suddenly lightning, thunder, wind and rain, such as the end of the world like a disaster movie set. Then how to return home, I can not remember, only heard my sister said, a small me sitting on the back of the bike, a moment to cry, a moment to laugh and said: I do not want to die ah, I have not eaten it ......
