Why is the third season not good anymore?
Some people attribute the reason to a change in director, as Chen Xiaoqing, the director of the first two seasons, left CCTV not long ago. The poor reviews of the third season of Tongue Tip of China have also brought the public eye back to the person of Chen Xiaoqing.
I first became interested in Chen Xiaoqing when I watched a video of him on Roundtable. This slightly chubby, dark, middle-aged, older man used his low, magnetic, smoky voice to talk about his love of food and culture, and I watched almost every episode with my mouth full.
? As soon as he spoke about food, it felt like he oozed charisma and shone on Roundtable, even as his presence overshadowed the other guests.
Since then I've been paying more and more attention to the man.
Chen Xiaoqing, a man from my hometown in a small town in northern Anhui Province, with the humor and cunning temperament of a man from northern Anhui Province, talks about food, segments, sentiments, and the people of the world. When he opens his mouth, he can always make me full of saliva and laugh.
This film and television industry, the most good at eating people, food industry, the most good at talking about people, very charismatic. It's only right that someone like this could produce something as good as "Tongue" (the first two seasons).
Chen Xiaoqing is a famous "street sweeper". If you want to know about food from all over the country, check out his microblogs, which are full of his travels around the world to find all kinds of food.
He does not like to go to high-end restaurants, but is willing to go to the alleys to find hidden delicious, he felt that this is full of the atmosphere of the city's pavilion, in order to eat the flavor of the human world.
Some people say that eating large intestine and eating abalone are two classes, they can never sit on a table. Chen Xiaoqing said he agrees with this statement, but he does not feel that abalone eaters are happier and more advanced than those who eat large intestine.
It also reminds me of what Guo Degang said in "You Want Elegance". It is right to like drinking coffee, it is right to like eating garlic, but it is wrong to think that drinking coffee is more elegant than eating garlic. Tooth good for elegant, people valley for vulgar. This is elegance in the mouth, and this is vulgarity in eating and drinking. People can not need elegant, but this vulgar you can not leave. The most important thing is that you can't get away from it.
In fact, food is one of the most elegant and vulgar **** appreciation of the topic. Diet is not only the basis of human survival, but also the most important carrier of social and cultural development. Cooking is the starting point of all cultures, and the most profound culture of a nation is recorded in the food. Behind the food is a history, a simple snack, the flavor may have long been inherited for thousands of years.
As Chen Xiaoqing said, culture does not necessarily need to know poetry and song, know how to eat, as will have culture.
More than a decade ago, he began to record his own food experience, the food he ate and his feelings about food and life into a piece of prose, this writing is ten years, I believe that it is precisely because of these deposits, in order to shoot the "tip of the tongue" such a great work.
With his love, I read his book "Taste of the Earth".
"Taste of the Earth" is a decade of sipping notes from a food lover.
Chen Xiaoqing turns words into raw materials,
uses prose as a bowl and bowl,
accompanied by the salt of stories and human feelings,
and steams, stirs, fries, and deep-fries the exclusive memories of food to make this book.
From the taste of the jianghu thousands of miles away to the taste of home in the depths of the soul,
From the street sweeping mouth of the four sides of the food to the vicissitudes of dietary changes,
From the diners, cooks, shopkeepers, talking about the food and the **** that one person,
Brushing his sleeve and laughing at the table of the false mask, the common people food also look at the saliva splash when,
In the end, to the heart:
The book is a book of the heart, the heart of the soul.
It goes to the heart:
The questions of what to eat and where to eat are much less important than "who to eat with",
and the best flavors of the world are often brewed between people,
and the best food is always the people. "
After reading the book, I feel that the book is full of human flavor and fireworks. Chen Xiaoqing used his sense of taste to explore the world.
The hometown delicacies written in the book, such as beans in Anhui sauce, watermelon sauce, changed eggs, SA soup, green carrots, dried tea, mutton soup, and roasted chicken in Fuliuji, all evoked infinite memories in me. I can't help but start thinking about food and life.
In this city filled with reinforced concrete, I've eaten in too many, too many restaurants, but there are few flavors that I can remember. These commercialized restaurants think about how to make money every day, and even hold up the idea of service first, thinking that they are at the forefront of leading the food fashion. But how many restaurants think about how to make the food better?
Delicious is not reproducible, when the restaurant becomes more and more industrialized, standardized, but also lost the most important taste - fireworks.
In Chinese culinary culture, fireworks are the most important flavor. Although in the course of history, the joint meal system, this kind of minority diet gradually replaced the Chinese people's separate meal system, but also reflects the true meaning of Chinese cuisine, everyone sits around together, lively and lively, which can be eaten out of the human fireworks flavor.
The Chinese have always had a plot to eat, in China as if nothing is a meal can not be solved, if there is, then two.
Especially today, dinner parties have become a way of socializing. But not all meals make people feel comfortable. With the favorite relatives, best friends together, the meal has become a kind of enjoyment, in the heat, whether it is to tell or listen, whether it is the wind rolled up, or the exchange of cups, even if quietly sitting and listening to everyone talk is also a kind of enjoyment.
However, some meals, but with a variety of social purposes, so that the meal has become incredibly heavy. What's more, if there are strangers or people who make you feel like you're on pins and needles, then it's hard to eat and it's hard to swallow.
As Chen Xiaoqing said:
What to eat, where to eat these issues is far less important than "and who to eat", the flavor of the world is often brewed between people, the most delicious is always the people.
Perhaps this is the flavor of the people, this is the flavor of the people.
Chen Xiaoqing in the book "to taste on earth" said: "everyone has their own pearl jade white jade soup", because that is the taste of the hometown.
In the human sensory memory, the memory of flavor is the most intense. Everyone has the most indelible taste memory deep inside, that is, the memory of childhood flavor, the memory of hometown flavor. As Chen Xiaoqing's sheep soup, Luo Yonghao's pork spine potato soup, everyone's heart of the bowl of pearl emerald white jade soup must be the taste of childhood in the hometown ate.
My pearl jade white jade soup is the bowl of eel spicy soup. In my northern Anhui hometown Dangcheng Xiguan old market, the bowl of eel spicy soup, is more than twenty years has never changed the flavor.
A bowl of spicy eel soup, with two eggs on fire, is my favorite. Eggs in the bowl into the egg flower, a spoonful of hot soup poured in, suddenly the aroma overflowing. Spicy soup is salty and spicy, spicy and then sweet, fresh and delicious. Every cell of the body seems to be activated after one mouthful. The noodles of the fire roast are moderately soft and hard, the eggs are smooth and delicious, and the whole fire roast is slightly sweet with starch in the salty aroma.
This flavor can never be broken.
In addition to the favorite eel spicy soup, there are many hometown delicacies.
Dangzhong door of the scholar cake, Xiguan food market fried buns, baked dog meat, ground pot chicken ...... These memories make me only in another country, always remember the taste of home.
I remember, in my hometown often see such a scene, a cab driver, while the night, parked on the side of the road, buy a baklava, clamped on the steaming mutton head meat, the day's hard work and fatigue will be forgotten, leaving only the satisfaction of life.
Food and hometowns have never been inseparable, and generations of literary giants have used words to depict their hometowns on the tip of their tongues. For example, Zhang Eileen's Shanghai, Liang Shiqiu's Beijing, Wang Zengqi's Gaoyou, Shen Congwen's Phoenix.
The food can be tasted in the hometown of each person's emotions, rather than nostalgia for the hometown of the food, rather than nostalgia for their own growth.
Some people say that back to the hometown called home, can not go back to the hometown called. Every time I return home, I see a large-scale remodeling of the old city. Looking at a piece of high rise, memory of the hometown began to disappear, the remaining only familiar flavor. I'm afraid that one day, even the flavor will disappear, and my hometown will become a hometown that I can't go back to.
Food records the culture of a nation, in the food we can see the glory of our ancestors, wisdom and hard work. China's five thousand years of farming civilization, people live the biggest wish is to have enough to eat.
Our generation is a happy generation, did not experience hunger, and naturally do not understand the preciousness of food. It's only been 40 years since the Chinese had enough to eat, and it's in these 40 years that China has changed dramatically at a rapid pace. This speed is so fast that people no longer feel that food is precious, but also have no time to taste the delicious food, and even less time to taste the flavor of life.
Chen Xiaoqing said, "In life, you have to eat a hundred meals, travel a thousand miles, and read a thousand books.
What to eat is not important, the important thing is to feel the preciousness of food and the beauty of life. Whether it's a luxurious French meal, an exquisite Japanese meal, or even just a bowl of cassoulet, you can eat the happiest flavor.
A porridge and a meal, when thinking about the hard-won. A drink and a peck, full of sweet and sour, bitter and spicy. Only those who love life and know how to enjoy it can live a meaningful life.
As Chen Xiaoqing said in "China on the tip of the tongue":
A thousand buildings, only six feet of sleep at night
The family has a lot of money, but the daily food is only three meals
A good life should start from the taste of each meal, cherish the people who eat together. With your favorite family members, you can sit around, taste the home-cooked delicacies, and enjoy the joy of family life. Or with three or two friends, a few cups of wine, talk about life.
We should pay tribute to Chen Xiaoqing, love of food, love of life.
As Shen Hongfei said about him:
Why does his mouth often contain saliva, because he loves the land so much.
