About this book
The book Taste of the World by Mr. Wang Zengqi in my hand was published by Tianjin People's Publishing House in 20 14 and printed for the fifth time in 20 17. The book 1.3 million words is divided into four chapters, namely: 1. Carnivores are not contemptible. Eating and drinking are very important. 4. The four sides eat it, and the nature is clear.
This book contains all Mr. Wang Zengqi's words about food. Mr. Wang's writing is concise, beautiful, plain and profound.
Reading this book "Taste of the World" in your spare time and enjoying the world's delicious food with your husband will always make people drool when they open the book.
Never tolerate anything, especially diet.
The food written by Mr. Wang is very humble ingredients in life, but Mr. Wang writes in a very elegant way with simple strokes.
For example, in the article "Tofu", Mr. Wang introduced more than a dozen tofu practices: tofu with tofu with tofu with tofu with tofu, tofu with onion with tofu with tofu with tiger skin with tofu with hometown tofu with monk tofu with Mapo tofu with fried tomato tofu with casserole fish head tofu with king tofu with snowflake tofu.
When introducing tofu flower, Mr. Wang wrote: "Tofu flower is the top grade of tofu flower. Tender Toona sinensis head, uncomfortable bud leaves, purple color and fragrant smell. The boiling water is slightly hot, and the stems and leaves turn green. Take it out, knead it with fine salt, let it cool, cut into pieces, mix with tofu and add a few drops of sesame oil. Once you enter, you won't forget it in the third spring. "
I think, the so-called words become fragrant, probably should be the same. How can such delicious food and such beautiful and elegant words not make people feel pale?
In the article "Carnivores are despicable", Teacher Wang introduced thirteen kinds of dishes related to meat. Lion head, Zhenjiang gourmet hoof, bacon, preserved fresh meat, Dongpo meat, roasted mushrooms, roasted yellow croaker, ham, bacon, miscellaneous meat, taro meat, white meat hotpot, roast suckling pig.
I knew the name of lion head dish when I was watching the TV series Happy Doctor. When I grow up, I always think that the so-called lion head is just meatballs.
The lion's head written by Wang Zengqi is far more attractive than the meatballs I made. No wonder Xilaile likes to eat stewed lion's head across the hall. Of course, there are other things that Hilale hides when she eats the lion's head.
Regardless of Xilaile, let's take a look at how Mr. Wang Zengqi made the lion's head:
Pork is half fat and half thin, and those who like fat meat can also be seven thin and three thin. They should be "finely chopped and coarsely chopped", such as the size of pomegranate rice (minced meat by meat grinder is not allowed), chopped water chestnuts, mixed with minced meat, made into balls the size of oranges by hand, slightly fried in an oil pan until the shell is thin, fished out, put in a water pot and added with soy sauce.
I love meatballs. After reading Mr. Wang's words, I tried to make a plate. Because there is no water chestnut, my cooking is not very good, and I can't make the taste written by Mr. Wang, but I enjoy the process of making a delicious food because of words, and I am very happy.
"Everything is inappropriate, especially in terms of diet. Many dishes in China are made of humble raw materials, but after a "stress", it has become the first delicious food in the world. "
Mr. Wang's writing is not gorgeous, but it always gives people a deep understanding. Everything is difficult, especially diet.
Wide tastes and hobbies.
Mr. Wang Zengqi likes studying diet, and he especially "likes reading books about diet". He often uses other people's shopping time to visit the vegetable market, while shopping, while conceiving recipes.
"Look at what's in the vegetable market and think about it before you can match a few dishes."
In the vegetable market, "look at raw chickens, live ducks, fresh fish and vegetables, cucumber and red pepper." Living is a pleasure. "
Mr. Wang's diet has a wide range of tastes. In his own words, he means "eat everything". So, I met a friend's deliberate dilemma.
Mr. Wang didn't eat bitter gourd. In Mr. Wang's hometown, bitter gourd is not called bitter gourd, but grapes. It is not used for eating, but "picked and cooked and put on a plate to watch and play."
When I was in National Southwest Associated University, because Mr. Wang said "there is nothing I don't eat", some students invited him to eat "cold bitter gourd, fried bitter gourd and bitter melon soup", but Mr. Wang didn't get angry and gritted his teeth and ate it all.
In the article "Eating and Literature", Mr. Wang told a lady who bought beef but didn't know how to cook it. "The practice of beef ranges from stewed beef, braised beef and curry beef to beef in oyster sauce in Guangdong, boiled beef in Sichuan and dried beef ..."
My hometown is also rich in beef, the world-famous white yak meat. I eat beef all year round, usually cooked or fried. I have never eaten beef so much as my husband.
After reading Mr. Wang's words, I was very moved by Mr. Wang's life interest.
Mr. Wang likes traveling and has traveled all over the country. I am also familiar with the local language. He saw several American women who spoke Suzhou dialect in Suzhou and appreciated it very much. When he was watching Kunqu opera, his neighbor Hua Dan couldn't understand and kept asking, "What did he say?" This left him speechless.
Mr. Wang thinks: "literary and art workers, writers and actors have better mixed tastes, from bean juice in Beijing to dragon lice in Guangdong;" I have a good ear and can understand several dialects, such as Sichuan dialect, Suzhou dialect and Yangzhou dialect. Otherwise, it is a loss. "
Mr. Wang also thinks: "It doesn't matter if the taste is monotonous and the ear sound is not good. The most important thing is to have a broader interest in life. "
So I thought of writing. In the era of big data, self-media writing has quietly emerged, and some traditional writing has been impacted. Some people quickly accepted the self-media writing form and made a lot of money in the trend of self-media, while others were always unable to adapt to the dazzling media and stubbornly walked on the road of silence of traditional media.
We should bravely accept all acceptable things, such as eating bitter gourd, and force it to be eaten on the head. It feels delicious.
Teacher Wang also talked about several literary creation problems from bitter gourd:
First of all, bitter gourd is a dish, and no one has any reason to take it out of the five flavors. Mr. Wang "hopes that critics and writers, especially old writers, will have mixed tastes and not be partial to food." Don't easily deny or reject works that you are not used to. "
Secondly, bitter gourd "immature fruit as a vegetable, mature pulp can be eaten raw." "For a work, you can also have different views. We can explore its philosophical significance and trace its aesthetic pursuit. "
Finally, for bitter gourd, it can be said that it is melon or gourd, as long as it can be eaten. Therefore, a literary work can be regarded as realistic or modernist. As long as it is really a work, a work is a work.
In fact, whether it is a literary work, a person, or a eating habit, you can't have a narrow vision and a single taste.
Relax your taste, broaden your hobbies, reduce your temper and enlarge the pattern. Life has a chance to become more exciting.
Everything in the world is in it.
In the era when traditional literature is severely impacted by new media literature, holding a copy of Mr. Wang Zengqi's prose and enjoying the fragrance and delicacy of his daily life extracted from personal trivial subjects will give people a cool and quiet feeling. Reading Mr. Wang's words is like chatting with an elderly person. Full of life flavor and joy will bring us peace of mind.
A better way to remember Wang Zengqi is to read his words. In your spare time, please take this book "Taste of the World" and enjoy it slowly. All kinds of life flavors are in it.
