Food philosophy
This week, I read an episode of Cooking by Wang Zengqi. I chose this book for two reasons. First of all, the book itself has many topics to communicate with book lovers.

Secondly, Gaoyou salted duck eggs written by Mr. Wang have become an indelible memory of childhood. Now, when I think back on that sentence, I still can't help swallowing.

"When a chopstick is inserted, the red oil will slip out and eat it with chopsticks. Oily but not greasy, eating eggshells is still good. Wash the eggshells at night, catch some fireflies and put them inside. The lights are flashing and beautiful. "

Chinese characters were first seen in middle school Chinese textbooks, but the author's exquisite description is unforgettable so far. So the biggest impression of Wang Zengqi is this gourmet.

Cooking is a collection of Mr. Wang's food essays. The book consists of 5 chapters and 29 articles, which not only introduces the practices and eating methods of special foods, but also introduces the names, sources and eating habits of ingredients in different regions. It is a master's philosophy of eating goods and a book with great humanistic characteristics.

Personally, after reading this book, I deeply feel rich in details. Although it talks about food on the surface, it actually contains countless philosophies of life.

In the book, Mr. Wang said that he learned about the description of sunflower through a poem, so he wanted to know what sunflower is, whether it is okra or the stem of sunflower. Later, combined with the poet's description again and again, Mr. Wang realized that this is actually the winter amaranth that still exists in the south today.

In fact, there are many records about sunflowers in ancient poems. Poetry, Wind and July: "In July, the sunflower is ripe." It can be seen that it is universal. In Qi Shu Yao Min at the end of Wei Dynasty, planting sunflowers was listed as the first vegetable.

"Don't pick sunflowers to hurt your roots" and "eat sunflower seeds with dew under pine branches" often appear in poems. In the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Zhen's agricultural books also called sunflower "the owner of all kinds of vegetables". Somehow, it became useless.

In the Compendium of Materia Medica of the Ming Dynasty, it has been classified as grass, and it is not recognized as a vegetable at all! Kwai's experience is really miserable! What is the reason?

It can be seen that sunflower was originally produced in the north and once swept the country. However, with the emergence of Chinese cabbage, this major vegetable in China was gradually replaced by Chinese cabbage and retreated to the south.

Therefore, Mr. Wang expressed his feelings based on sunflowers: Is the fate of vegetables also related to everything in the world? Is it the same? It has ups and downs, and it may be a bit emotional to mention it.

People's eating habits will be different in different areas. There are only a few interesting stories in this book.

An actress who came from the north to the south to experience life ate spicy food every day after arriving in Sichuan. One day, she couldn't stand it, so she went to a jiaozi store and asked for a bowl of jiaozi.

As soon as the actress entered the jiaozi store, she said to the waiter in the store, "Boss, I want a bowl of jiaozi instead of Chili." The boss smiled and replied, "Tangyuan doesn't even add pepper."

He also said that Shandong people love onions, and they will die if they don't eat for a meal. A wife quarreled with her mother-in-law. When she gets angry, she jumps into the well and can't get out. Nobody does much work at home. The man said a good word and a bad word, but the woman just couldn't get on.

So the man had to hang an onion on the wellhead, and soon his wife smelled the onion and came up by herself. It is enough to see how much Shandong people like onions.

Wang Zengqi summed it up like this

Confucius said: it is human nature to eat color, enjoy food and appreciate beautiful things. We can't decide the direction of the world, but we can control three meals a day on the table. Food is the beauty that ordinary people can see when they open their eyes.

When food touches the tip of the tongue, it gathers in the mouth, and the fragrance is chewed up a little bit, slipping into the throat and immersing in the body. This is a trip to forget your troubles.

The existence of food is not only to solve the problem of people's food and clothing, but more importantly, it is a culture, a key to solving worries, and a culture worthy of our careful study for a lifetime.

Enriching the soul with delicious food is the beginning of a better life. Mr. Wang also said: I am not pursuing profundity, but harmony. I wrote about beauty, a healthy human nature, and beauty is needed at all times.
