Yuan Mei is my first thought. Yuan Mei, a native of the Qing Dynasty, was dismissed from office in naked resignation in his thirties. He pondered how to eat it at home all day, and put forward a theory of eating goods, such as "Others like to use turtles with sea cucumbers, and I think that turtles are the best to cook alone". He ate and drank all his life, and wrote recipes and ghost stories. His "Menu with the Garden", an old cookbook published more than 211 years ago, also condensed Yuan Mei's love of food.
At that time, there was a chef named Wang Xiaoyu, and his cooking skills were superb. He has been with Yuan Mei all his life, and he doesn't want to change jobs to other rich people to cook, in order to be rich and expensive; I just want to see Yuan Mei's knowing smile at the dinner table every day.
many people are puzzled and ask Wang Xiaoyu why?
He said: It's hard to understand me, and it's even harder to understand delicious food! I cooked with my heart, and when a dish went up, my heart, liver, intestines and kidneys were sent up with it. And those people in the world who only know how to eat with their mouths smacked can't compare with Yuan Mei. Only Yuan Mei can understand me and the food I cook.
