I saw Teacher Yu Qian’s book in a bookstore because of its appearance. The cover showed the reflection of a glass of wine and a wine glass, with a black background next to it. The overall feeling was as if someone had opened the door and just happened to read it. The reflection of the wine and the wine glass has a sense of story.

At first I thought it was a book mainly about wine culture. When I opened the book, I realized that it was talking about various kinds of food in the name of wine. As the teacher Yu said on the back cover of the book: "Until now, I have not admitted that I am addicted to alcohol. Why? Because I drink to enjoy the comfort of drinking - three or five close friends sitting together , It feels so right to talk about it like this!”

I remember when I was a child, during the New Year, the elders would sit around a table, and the wine would be served, and it would take more than two hours to finish the meal. Order some wine, enjoy the past, chat about the future, and have fun. But now during the Chinese New Year, everyone eats in a restaurant, and the wine is still the same, but it just doesn't feel like before. A meal can be finished in an hour, and then everyone goes back to their respective homes. It feels like rushing to a party. It seems that drinking and chatting also depends on the venue.

In "Yu Qian Bistro", we talk about food, from appetizers, grilled skewers, crayfish, chicken, duck, fish to oil, salt, and soy sauce. In addition to talking about how to make these foods, we also talk about The food has been sorted out from the beginning to the present. Let us readers not only learn about traditional eating practices, but also where they come from. Quite interesting.

For example, the first person to eat crabs in the book was a man named Ba Jie. In order to solve the problem of crabs clogging ditches, he boiled the crabs and the smell was fragrant, so Ba Jie After eating it, he realized that it was really delicious. Because he was the first person to eat crab, he added the word "worm" under the word "worm". That's how crab came.

Hot pot fortune telling - said to be invented by the Japanese. It is said that Yuanyang Pot is like a Tai Chi diagram, so the Japanese call this Tai Chi Yin and Yang. How to place which dish, which meat is in which position for you, which one is cooked first, which one floats first? There are certain opinions. For example, if the beef meatballs you ordered floated, but the others did not, it means that you have not been very popular recently and are recruiting villains behind your back. Another example is that the kidney flowers are not blooming, which means that the kidneys are not in good condition recently. This is Ilaku.

Reading this book is like listening to Teacher Yu's chatter. The more you listen, the more interesting it becomes.
