Home cooking and wine
Home cooking and wine should be innovative, saving money and trouble. Occasionally, guests come and are thirsty for wine. The host rolls up his sleeves to cook, cuts onions and ginger to adjust the seasoning, and can chat with the guests at the same time, which makes him feel carefree. If nothing happens, it will be interesting. If the host is in a hurry and the guests are restless, there is no point in drinking this wine!
"Writing? Painting? Cooking "
Besides copying, I have to read more, that is, "reading posts". My calligraphy was influenced by (Su, Huang, Mi, Cai), but because I love reading, I have never been there, and I was infected unconsciously.
Writing and drawing are internal sports. Be sure to calm down when writing and drawing. Qi Baishi wrote a picture and said, "When you are free, you can wave it." It must be bad to write and draw when you are impetuous. Writing and painting can nourish nature, so painters live longer.
Cooking should be imaginative and unpredictable, as Su Dongpo said: "Suddenly come up with new ideas": it takes more practice to cook a dish and learn to cook it several times before you can get the gist; You also need to look through the recipes. In the leisure books I read, recipes occupy an important position. The best recipe, I think, is Yuan Zicai's Menu with Garden. This guy is really good at eating and telling the truth. As mentioned earlier: "Let out those who have taste, and let in those who have no taste." This is a summary of experience. The phrase "meat dishes are fried with vegetable oil, and materials are fried with meat oil" is particularly wise.
Small carrot
Generally speaking, the first food is always the best.

"The mouth is in the taste and there is the same hobby." Everyone loves delicious food.
You can not eat some things yourself, but don't object to others' eating. Don't think that whoever eats what you don't eat is outrageous.
In short, a person's tastes should be broader and more miscellaneous, and "sweet in the south and spicy in the north" should be tasted. This is true for food, and it should be true for culture.
Kwai a surname
My intention in writing this article is clear.
First, I hope young people can accumulate more knowledge about life. The ancients said that the function of poetry: you can observe, group, complain, and learn more about the names of plants, insects and fish. This last point seems to be different from the previous points, but it is actually very important. Plants, insects and fish are mostly closely related to people's lives. Being interested in plants, plants, insects and fish shows that you also have a wide range of interests in people.
Secondly, I advise you not to be too narrow-minded and try everything, whether it is ancient or foreign food, such as sunflower and onion. A person who eats Chinese cabbage all year round has no luck. Many vegetables that everyone has become accustomed to, such as spinach and lettuce, are actually exotic dishes. There were no tomatoes and onions in China decades ago, and many people didn't like them. Don't they all like it now? Many things, at first glance, are not used to eating, but they taste after eating.
Of course you know, what I'm talking about here is something related to literary creation.
Diet and literature
A literary and art worker, a writer and an actor, it is best to have a variety of tastes, from bean juice in Beijing to lice in Guangdong. They have good ear sounds and can understand several dialects, such as Sichuan dialect, Suzhou dialect and Yangzhou dialect. Otherwise, it is a loss.
It doesn't matter if the taste is monotonous and the ear sound is poor. The most important thing is to have a wider interest in life.
For bitter gourd, you can take what you need and be willing to eat skin and meat. People can also have different views on a work. We can explore its philosophical implication and pursue its aesthetic pursuit. Beijingers eat cold celery and only take tender stems. Western restaurants use celery leaves to make Luo Songtang. People abandon others and take them, each with respect.
The concept of "cultural novel" is rather vague. I think it is understandable that novels attach importance to national culture and pursue the "root" of a certain national culture from the depth of life. A novel can't have a strong national color, but it doesn't have to go that far, but it has to go to a vast ancient culture. Ancient culture is difficult to record. Searching for ancient culture is a matter for archaeologists, not writers.
From the point of view of food, instead of investigating what Taizi Dan invited Jing Ke to eat, it is better to pursue "spring is not old". Instead of studying "Yao Hui steaming" in Chu Ci, it is better to taste Hunan lobster sauce. Instead of tracing back to how tattooed Vietnamese eat clams, it is better to steam a bowl of dried vegetables and drink two glasses of yellow wine. The culture we want to express in the novel is first of all present and alive; Then it was yesterday's, and it didn't take long. The reason is simple, because we can see, touch, taste and think deeply.
