01 The most extreme taste in the world
Everyone has different criteria for judging deliciousness. Some people like sourness, and some people like sweetness. Even the closest people find it difficult. Agree on taste.
Therefore, it is even more difficult to achieve complete consciousness in judging the most extreme taste. What is the most extreme taste in the world seems to be a subjective question with no answer, as long as it makes sense.
I believe that for most of us, the most ultimate taste in the world will always be mother’s taste.
When you are young, a certain taste habit brought about by your mother's cooking, once formed, is as stubborn as granite and cannot be changed no matter where you go.
There was a news story not long ago. When the firefighters were eating dumplings, they suddenly tasted a familiar taste. When they turned around, they saw their parents standing behind them. It turned out to be the winter solstice. Come to Dumplings to visit relatives.
People’s memories of food are always long, and mother’s taste is a unique taste hidden deep in memory.
02 The power to warm people's hearts
Everyone is running for life every day and measuring the entire city with their own steps.
At the beginning of the night, after a day's work, you have just finished working overtime, dragging your tired body and walking in the city's winter night, watching the cars around you. Although the whole city is bustling and lively, it makes people feel... Feeling cold as ice.
Every time, when this feeling of exhaustion and loneliness comes to our hearts, we often hope to get warmth from food.
At this moment, even a dim light on the roadside can bring a touch of warmth to people. Walking into a small restaurant, even if you just go in and drink a bowl of white porridge, the warmth can penetrate into the bone marrow. .
Teacher Chen Xiaoqing once mentioned such a scene in his book. In the early morning, he was sitting by the window in a Mahua Ramen restaurant. In front of him, the waiters were running diligently back and forth, and the customers were scattered everywhere. Hopeful of one's own hopes, regretful of one's own regrets... This scene is like Jin Yong's hurried travelers a thousand years ago. At the thatched shop at Fengling Ferry in the wind and snow, everyone is waiting for the snow to stop, and tomorrow it will be another day. We have to go our separate ways.
When the stomach is full, we will gain a sense of solidity, and food becomes something that supports us and makes people feel happy. At this time, even if there is no one to accompany you, this ray of warmth is enough to resist the boring life.
And we have enough strength to continue our ordinary life.
03 Food Jianghu
People nowadays like to say a word called "enclosure and self-admiration". Different things have their own circles and a world of their own.
Food is no exception.
Different cuisines, categories, and flavors have their own fans. In this gourmet world, there is a kind of cuisine called Jianghu cuisine. Jianghu cuisine is compared to official cuisine. Both the raw materials and the methods are not based on common sense.
Teacher Chen compares the world of food to the world of martial arts. Official cuisine is like a confrontation between two armies. First, you have to name the generals and pretend to be polite, and then use real swords and guns to show off. Jiang Hu Cai is a green forest hero. When a general comes over and hits you in the face, he will hit you in the face. He is so rough and endearing.
In the world of gourmet food, the most popular ones are culinary masters like Feng Qingyang - who carry unique skills and are independent from the world. The dishes they cook are always niche: characterful and high-spirited.
Of course, you may say, I don’t like those niche dishes, but I still highly recommend you to taste and discover them.
Maybe after you taste it, you will find the comfortable and casual atmosphere of Jianghu cuisine and the endless fireworks. Maybe you will also fall in love with this charming atmosphere of human fireworks.
