I've always wanted to read the food collections left by two great food experts in the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Gourmet Yuan Da said that the realm of diet and the principle of learning are the same, so we should learn first and then practice. "Tofu is well done, far better than bird's nest; Seaweed is not cooked well, not as delicious as bamboo shoots. " Diet is an elegant science.

I dare not hurt this elegance. Although there are currently 326 food recipes in the north and south of Kanggan Shi Sheng, although I like cooking, I have no impulse to try it. Before reading the food list, I was moved by 20 notes and 14 commandments. The first article is a preface written by a great gourmet. Although only a few hundred words are used as food introductions, they make the world famous. He is famous for "eating", which makes me deeply uneasy.

Duke of Zhou, surnamed Ji Mingdan, is the fourth son of Zhou Wenwang and the younger brother of King Wu. He was a famous politician and thinker in China during the Western Zhou Dynasty. He assisted Zhou Wuwang in two expeditions to Zhou Wang and made music and ceremonies. Duke Zhou established three prisons, established the system of Luoyi and music, and was very particular about food. Now the name of Babel was left at that time. At that time, the poet praised the Duke of Zhou for "practicing with beans", which meant that the cups, plates and dishes at the banquet were neatly arranged (water was a bamboo vessel for holding fruits during ancient sacrifices and banquets, and beans were pottery or wooden containers for holding meat or other foods in ancient times), which meant that Duke of Zhou was in good order in governing the country. There was a man named KATTO, a royal family and a powerful minister in Zhou Youwang. He also feasted like the Duke of Zhou, but people grinned. What can you do? Unexpectedly, following the example of Duke Zhou, he should eat coarse grains instead of polished rice, accusing KATTO of poor governance and low quality. Eating can also reflect people's status. Only when people live in virtue can they be persuaded. The ancients paid so much attention to diet!

Others, such as I Ching, cooking, Shangshu, seasoning, The Analects of Confucius? Township Party ""Book of Rites? Nezer also talked about some dietary problems in detail. Although Mencius despised people who pay attention to eating and drinking, he said, "If you are hungry, what you eat is not the right taste." . It can be seen that it is not easy to do anything well. The Doctrine of the Mean says: "People don't eat or drink, but few people know how to taste delicious food." "Dian Lun" said: "Only a generation of senior officials know how to build comfortable houses; Only three generations of senior officials know how to dress and eat. " When the ancients worshipped their ancestors, they should follow the rules in the direction of entering the fish and the method of cutting the lungs, and they should not be sloppy. Confucius sang with others, listened to others sing well, humbly asked others to sing to him, and practiced repeatedly before singing with others. Saints attach so much importance to such tiny skills and learn from each other to improve themselves.

I admire this spirit of knowing people and being good at their duties and the attitude of striving for perfection. Every time I eat delicious food in someone else's house, I always ask the chef at home to learn from the chef who cooks in that house (read this article and explain in detail why the whole world only admires him as a gourmet, but I can't cook). In the past 40 years, I have collected many cooking methods of delicious food. Some can learn it as soon as they learn, some learn 60% to 70%, some only learn 20% to 30%, and some are unfortunately lost. I tirelessly ask people for methods, collect them together and record them in a book for preservation. Some can't remember clearly, but they still remember whose food is what to express my admiration. Learn with an open mind, I think it should be like this. All deaths are recorded, and flexible chefs are not necessarily restricted. I also know that even famous books are not necessarily all right, and it is impossible to blindly find ways in old books, but it is generally not wrong to do what is said in the book. If you have to hold an impromptu party, it's easy to say some skills.

Someone asked, "People are different. A person has taste, just like looks. A person has looks. What you like to eat, others may not like it; Also, everyone has different understanding and different skills. Can you make the same food as you? " I replied, "if you follow that method, it won't be too far apart in principle." Although I can't force everyone to have the same taste as me, I might as well pass it on to people with the same interests. Although I eat very little, I have tried my best to pass on good things to others, so I don't feel any regrets. " There are more than 30 books about diet in Shuobian, and Chen Meigong and Li Daiweng also have writings about diet. I tried, but the food I cooked was very spicy and terrible. Most of them are far-fetched by boring literati, so they are not adopted.

Confucius said, "People seldom know the taste after eating and drinking." Seven things, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, are all related to the word "eat". Some people love to eat, some people can eat, some people know how to eat, and some people know how to taste. Such people will know how to eat and how to eat.

Look at the "preview" tomorrow, I hope I can know the taste, and I can eat unlimited romance in an ordinary dish and rice.
