China people's unique staple food complex is as follows:
For most people in China, a meal without staple food is absolutely incomplete.
Whether it's rice, noodles, steamed stuffed buns, pies, jiaozi ... these foods with pure carbon and water always seem to fill the stomachs of China people.
I remember a weekend party, which happened to be my birthday. The meeting place was in a western restaurant, and my friend's father was there. All kinds of desserts and delicious food on the dining table are the same, and the dazzling food makes me overwhelmed and eat nonstop.
but we have been using chopsticks for a long time, but my little father has never used chopsticks. Later, when I asked clearly, I realized that the old man couldn't get used to these western foods. He just wanted to eat a bowl of hot, simple and steaming white rice.
This is China people's preference for staple food, and this characteristic of perseverance and infatuation with staple food seems to be engraved in the genes.
no matter who has a dinner, a pot of rice will be cooked. Instead of choosing stew meat and eating it around. Our stomach's love for staple food is also cultivated in this way.
it is recorded in Neijing that "five grains are for nourishment, five animals are for benefit, five fruits are for help, and five vegetables are for filling." It is enough to show that grains only support people, but they are more auxiliary to livestock, fruits and vegetables.
In a similar view, Chen Xiaoqing, the general director of China, said on the tip of his tongue: "All dishes that don't eat are hooligans."
Many times, in our China people's minds, "having enough staple food" is really full.
We teach our children to eat. No matter what kind of food they eat, they have to force some staple food into their stomachs in the end, so that they are really full.
Even when we go to the buffet restaurant to cook with an empty stomach, we will eat fried rice with eggs, fried dumplings and fried noodles at the end. This idea is deeply rooted.
No one has mentioned the point of eating. There are only vegetables and meat on a big table, and no one will not cook. For thousands of years, just look at the plentiful weight of grains.
we want to change it now? I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of the characteristic of eating less staple food for a while.
some people will say that this has something to do with poor living conditions and wealth. Rich people absolutely don't like to eat staple food, perhaps this statement is correct.
But you should know that even the richest people like Li Ka-shing, Zhong Shanshan and Ma Huateng will not say that they are eating meat and not eating rice.
from my own point of view, I also have a profound experience. That is, every time I eat a big table meal at a banquet, maybe I tried my best to make big fish and meat in the early stage, and I couldn't lift chopsticks until my stomach was full at the end.
but if you have another bowl of dumplings and wonton, you can still kill it later.
Grandma at home is 82 years old. She goes back to visit her every Spring Festival. When the descendants of a large family surround her, although the old man is not in good health. But she will still go to the kitchen to cook a big pot of rice and a pot of noodles with water.
even if there is not enough rice and a lot of noodles left at the end, she will still eat the next day and the third day by herself. My father told me that her generation was really hungry.
