We know that everyone has various identities and titles in society. For example, Mr. Jiang is not only a professional and credible food critic and god of food, but also a freelance writer who has published many books on food culture. Netizens who often read his "Chihuo" blog know that he is also a very amiable grandfather. When we asked which of these multiple identities he loved best, Mr. Jiang did not hesitate to answer "Grandpa". At the mention of his granddaughter, the old man suddenly showed a lovely smile. He joked, "It's hard to see your granddaughter for a day." When talking about how to become a high-profile "food critic" from an ordinary person who eats food and cooks, Teacher Jiang told us: First of all, I majored in ancient Chinese literature when I was a graduate student in Fudan Journalism Department, and I started working in a newspaper after graduation. Since I started as an editor and a reporter, I found that ancient prose is very helpful for me to write articles, especially articles on diet, and it is also very helpful for guiding everyone's diet. Secondly, with the development of economy, various restaurants emerge one after another, all kinds of dishes have their origins, and different cooking methods have their own stories to follow. Chinese food is profound and interesting to explore. In addition, China has always been a gourmet country, and 5,000 years of civilization has created the continuous development of food culture. There are some representative gourmets in every dynasty, such as Su Dongpo, Li Yu, Yuan Mei, etc. They all wrote many excellent food works. These ancient cooking essences and dietary proverbs are deeply loved by chefs and can play a certain guiding role for chefs and contemporary diets. All kinds of opportunities make Mr. Jiang have a special complex about food culture. As an immigrant city, people from all corners of the country gather here, and various restaurants and cultures compete to settle in. Not only can you easily taste the local cuisines of Shanghai's eight major cuisines and sixteen gangs, but you can also basically see and eat the cuisines from all over the world. Teacher Jiang said that whether it is a foreign restaurant or other local cuisines, it is undoubtedly necessary to improve and innovate if they want to enter the local area. Only by extracting the essence of foreign dishes and organically integrating them according to the tastes of local guests can this dish be accepted by local guests more quickly and effectively. Nowadays, many new people who pay attention to emotional appeal like to go to western restaurants, and most teenagers will choose hamburgers without hesitation between steamed stuffed buns and hamburgers. When talking about whether the introduction of western catering will damage China's catering culture, Mr. Jiang said confidently: "There is no such worry at all!" At present, the catering market in Shanghai is a national success and an international restaurant. On the one hand, the prosperity of food culture reflects the prosperity of Shanghai economy; On the other hand, various dishes from different countries have greatly enriched Shanghai's food culture and people's appetite. "Eat in Shanghai" will become a classic saying more and more. But at the same time, Mr. Jiang said, we should never worry that our food will be submerged. "Love the new and hate the old" is the most common attitude of China people towards dishes. While various food and beverage outlets have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, diners have more choices, and a problem that comes with it is that they are more dazzling and don't know how to choose. In this context, Gulu Mommy website came to the diners in time. It has a huge catering database, which is convenient for diners to search according to their own conditions and find their favorite restaurants. For the network system such as Mummy's Mouth, Teacher Jiang believes that the network, as a fresh and rich new media and new tool, will inevitably play an increasingly important role in people's lives; And its radiation area will gradually expand from the younger generation to more people of all ages. Teacher Jiang himself began to contact this new media under the influence of many young friends and the impact of network information. Now, not only does he often check all kinds of information about the catering industry online, including what new stores are opened and what new flavors are "baked", but he also actively uses online tools to set up his own "Caicangmen Jianghu" blog to effectively play the role of online tools in the information age. At the end of the interview, Mr. Jiang also put forward his own valuable opinions to Mommy and the netizens. He believes that as a weapon to communicate with "friends", Mommy Glug can provide more practical information that is beneficial to consumers' needs, such as how to order food and how to eat healthily. Through interviews with some leading figures in the food industry in Shanghai, young food critics and the older generation of food critics have more opportunities to communicate and exchange, so that Chinese food and catering culture can be inherited and carried forward together!
