Since junior high school, I have lived on campus and can only go home on weekends. The university is thousands of miles away from home and has eaten the canteen for decades. Every time I go back, my parents hurry to eat and drink Lazar and take it out. I don't need to do it myself.
In the second half of the year, my own child was born, and my previous lifestyle is gone forever. From then on, I began to learn cooking. Mom and App became my kitchen instructors.
At first, I was not even skilled at cutting vegetables. Now I can cook a sumptuous reunion dinner on my own during the Spring Festival. In this process, I suddenly found that reading and cooking are actually very similar things.
First of all, reading the menu is like making a list of books.
Before learning a dish, I usually search other people's recipes, what ingredients and ingredients are used, and then make a preparation in advance according to these ingredients. For example, steamed ribs are made of flour, and the side dish below is sweet potato. If there is no sweet potato, what existing substitutes can be used, such as potatoes and taro.
The same is true when we read a new topic. We can read some relevant materials in advance and get reference from other people's experience, such as which books to start reading, list our own books according to the plan, and make targeted knowledge reserves in the general direction.
Second, preparing ingredients is a process of self-increase and decrease.
Looking at other people's recipes helps us know what ingredients we probably need, but everyone has the same taste. Maybe your taste is heavy, so you should put more spicy food, and the taste is lighter. You can mix it with some sugar, and some side dishes can be rearranged.
The same is true of learning. What others do is always the best for her. You should make some small changes on this basis and find a way that suits you. That's all that matters.
Third, cutting vegetables is the treatment of materials.
Cutting vegetables is a test of knife skills. Skilled people cut pieces, slices and shreds in a few minutes. Even a shredded potato takes a novice half a day, which may be as thick as a chopstick head. Some people read fast, others are slow, and the same is true. If you read more, your speed will increase.
Of course, we can also use tools, such as a plane or a faster knife. Good tools save time and effort and can help us greatly improve efficiency. Reading can also be viewed through appropriate methods, such as indexing, as long as it can help us remember the contents of books effectively, internalize knowledge and speed up reading, we can try.
The same ingredients, different vegetable processing methods are different. For example, roast beef with potatoes, the potatoes here need to be cut into pieces, and the potatoes put in dry fried shrimps may be more suitable for cutting into strips. The reading method also depends on the purpose we want to achieve. Disassembling calligraphy is a good choice if you want to apply what you have learned quickly.
Fourth, cooking is the presentation of results.
It seems to be the most important step in cooking, but in fact, preparations have been made in front, so the fried dishes will not taste too bad if they come naturally. The heat, the temperature of oil and the speed of cooking will all affect the taste of a dish, but, except for some special dishes, believe me, these factors are not enough to make you feel the difference in taste.
Just like reading, as long as you look, think, write down and present it in a note, it won't be too difficult. Of course, there are good and bad looks, but there will always be some gains.
Some tools and practical books can be used immediately after reading, which is very similar to the so-called Aauto faster cooking. After reading some books, you don't necessarily know where they can be used or what they are used for. Just leave time to test them, like slow fire and time-consuming dishes. Cook slowly, and you will wait patiently. Such dishes tend to have higher nutritional value.
Five, from the map to follow one's inclinations
My mother always said that cooking is a freewheeling process. When you cook a certain amount of food, you don't have to look at the menu before cooking new food, and you know what to do. One time, beef with potatoes, the next time, ribs with potatoes and roast chicken with potatoes, the number of roads is almost the same. According to your existing experience, you can do a skill migration.
This is especially true for reading. When you read almost all kinds of books, you will soon know what method you should use to read this book and what kind of knowledge you can gain. At this time, I really began to practice my knowledge into my own internal strength.
Do you really like the kitchen?
Some people cook all their lives just to eat, as long as they are full and not hungry. Some people regard cooking as a beautiful and passionate thing, do it with heart and eat every meal with heart. I don't cook much at present, but when I cook, I wonder if I can try something new that I haven't done before or use a different method. Every time you cook a new dish, it is a surprise, a heartfelt satisfaction.
"Only food and love can't live up to it", this little fresh sentence is widely circulated, and I agree with it very much. Three meals a day, many days, since this is an inevitable thing in life, what is the reason not to treat it well?
Eating is a task, and food is enjoyment. Two completely different attitudes are the differences in our quality of life. If you study just for the sake of reading and achieve the presentation of reading volume, such reading will become a burden, not a very pleasant experience. Only when I really want to read, want to read, and can't restrain my enthusiasm, will I devote myself wholeheartedly and my reading ability will really improve.
