As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people." For China people, eating is a top priority. It is a great pleasure to eat. As the carrier of delicious food, eating utensils have played an important role since ancient times and become a very important part of China's food culture. Where there is delicious food, there must be exquisite utensils; Where there are beautiful things, there must be delicious food.

Beauty and food should be like red flowers and green leaves, and no one can live without them. However, too often, our eyes are focused on food, ignoring silent utensils.

Open the cupboard at home, how many food containers can you take out that can be called "beautiful utensils"?

There is such a group of people who are out-and-out "food control". They make the neglected food containers return to the aesthetic category and make life more exquisite.

Single feeder

Shape-Times are changing, and so are food containers. Today's food containers have already realized the collectivization and customization design, and the use of more new materials makes the presentation of food containers more possible and gives people a different aesthetic feeling.

When a person eats, he always feels lonely and lonely, so many people will choose to get something to deal with it. But what Chen Pengfei wants to express is the concept of life: being casual doesn't mean being casual, and you can't be indifferent to life just because you are a person. Therefore, there is this set of "single feeder" designed for one person to eat.

Simple combination, however, is designed according to the eating habits of orientals, which can meet the matching needs of one person.

The texture of life comes from the details. Every work in "A Container for One Person" seems to be simple in shape, but great efforts have been made in details. In Chen Pengfei's view, for designers, making the shape of cups is no different from designing the appearance of buildings.

The size of the bowl is just suitable for holding with one hand, and the thick sole depresses the center of gravity of the whole Gao Zuwan and is not easy to fall off; The foot of the bowl is the same size as the palm of your hand, and it adopts a rare flat-bottomed design. When you hold it, it just falls on the palm of your hand, which is stable and elegant.

A dish with a depth of 4 cm can hold more soup dishes, and its size is moderate, which conforms to the eating habits of China people. The soles of the feet are thick enough to play an effective role in heat insulation.

Life needs to be surrounded by beauty.

Daily use-food containers are made for use, one for bearing the taste and the other for beautifying the dining table. The whole meal arrangement process is like a gorgeous performance, and each food container has its own role, which explains the unique table aesthetics together.

People who take three meals a day seriously will definitely have a soft spot for carrying delicious tableware. Sister Jiang can be said to be an out-and-out food control. She rented a writing room of more than 500 square meters in the downtown business district and decorated it carefully, only to create a "warm nest" for the food she had collected for more than 20 years.

On the afternoon when she went to Jiang Jie's house, she was planning a small private party with the theme of "Blue Danube". Several people have been busy in the kitchen for more than half an afternoon. When Jiang Jie walked leisurely into the kitchen wearing a slim light blue dress and holding a lazy folding cat, sporadic lights outside the window were lit. Like photographers, the next most important thing for everyone is to leave the most beautiful moments in front of them. Jiang Jie first picked up a glass bottle to add water to the flowers, and then sat down to taste the dessert, with a calm and dignified expression. Flowers reflect people's faces and people set off people's faces. This is probably the legendary "picturesque dining table".

I am crazy about diners.

Cherish things-"Who knows that every Chinese food is hard."

Tableware is the easiest thing to cherish. Whether it is collection or restoration, it is to cherish the feelings pinned on food containers and the time spent with them every day.

Click on Li He's Weibo and WeChat, and there are pots, bowls, plates, cups, spoons, chopsticks and fork cages everywhere ... there are ceramics, glass, iron and wood; Or simple, simple, or fresh, or childlike; There are vegetables, soup, cakes, or just empty. In any case, it is pleasing to the eye, even if it is just a pile of things on the ground, it is amazing. "Sure enough, she is a crazy girl who loves food containers. “

Li He will use all food containers to hold food. "The food container is also beautiful when placed alone, but it is a practical tool after all. With food, there will be beauty that complements each other and achieves each other. " On weekdays, she always chooses the most suitable tableware according to the dishes she cooks. Japanese cuisine uses coarse pottery tableware, Chinese food uses a steamer, and western food uses a simple plate ... "It is also important to highlight the ingredients themselves, and of course it is also important to like them." Sometimes coarse pottery is used to cook spaghetti.

Yun Qi lacquer Xiang

Craft-traditional eating utensils, most of which have been lost now, and the memories they carry have become history. Keeping a cooking utensil-making skill means keeping a group memory handed down from generation to generation.

Traditional eating utensils in China are usually famous for their exquisite craftsmanship. Don't talk about large utensils, even a small chopstick can be seen. Because Fuzhou people are good at making lacquerware, they apply lacquer decoration technology to chopsticks to make lacquered chopsticks with beautiful appearance, which not only conveys delicious food, but also becomes a beautiful scenery on the dining table.

Qi 'an Village, located in Cangshan District, Fuzhou, is a well-known lacquer chopsticks making village. In my imagination, making lacquer chopsticks should be very simple, but what I see in front of me is not the case. A paint stick, from a blank made of bamboo or nanmu to a final product, needs to go through more than 20 processes such as blank selection, painting, drying and decal. Moreover, every working procedure must be meticulous and pass the inspection at all levels.

Let's re-examine food containers from various perspectives, feel the attention of designers to nuances, discover the beauty of daily use of food containers, listen to the collection stories of food containers, and appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of food containers and the charm of the combination of food and beauty containers. We hope you can choose a satisfactory food container and treat yourself well.
