January 13, 2020? Wednesday? Sunny. I got up a little late in the morning. After preparing breakfast for my daughter, I was a little too late.
In order not to be late, the two of us each took a piece of bread and ate it while walking in the stairwell. We were in a hurry. After eating, we went to the street, put on masks and continued on our way. This was purely to satisfy our hunger and eat.
I have no idea what the food tastes like, and I don’t know if I did something wrong with my taste buds. I never taste anything delicious.
Even at family gatherings and feasts, I would switch cups, drink one cup after another, or wolf down my food, never allowing my taste buds to slowly enjoy the taste of the food.
You should chew your meals carefully to avoid gaining weight easily. The faster you eat, the more you will eat, which often leads to weight gain. This is a truth we all know.
However, since our youth, we have been constantly chasing speed. Our pace is getting faster and faster, and even the speed of eating is getting faster and faster. We cannot stop at all, which makes our taste buds numb.
Delicious food and mouth smiled when they met, but before they could embrace each other warmly, they passed by each other and became strangers to each other.
This often reminds me of the saying "Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit and doesn't know the taste."
We have watched the TV series "Journey to the West" countless times since childhood, and there is a plot that has always been engraved in our minds: Brother Monkey shot three ginseng fruits and went back, one for him, Zhu Bajie, and Junior Brother Sha.
Zhu Bajie was so greedy that he took the ginseng fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
Gudong, swallowed without even chewing.
After eating, he looked at Brother Monkey eagerly and asked: Brother Monkey, is the ginseng fruit delicious?
Brother Monkey asked strangely: Didn’t you just eat it?
Why do you ask me what it feels like?
"Hehe," Zhu Bajie smiled sheepishly and said, "It's all because of my old pig's big mouth. He swallowed it before he could chew it." Brother Monkey said, "Smells good!"
!
!
Just delicious.
He said as he took another bite.
Zhu Bajie's eyes were filled with greed, he was restless, and said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, please get some more!
Brother Monkey glared: Do you think you are eating carrots?
How much do you want to eat?
Gone!
If you want to eat it, get it yourself.
Zhu Bajie muttered unhappily: "Only one of them hasn't tasted it yet..." Later, Wu Jingzi of the Qing Dynasty wrote in Chapter 6 of "The Scholars": "You slave, Zhu Bajie doesn't know anything about eating ginseng fruit.
Taste'! "Sometimes when I'm devouring it, I always think of Zhu Bajie and wonder: Could it be that I am the reincarnation of this pig god?
Our taste buds, after being numb for a long time, really need to slowly appreciate the taste of food and feel the original memory left by the food.
I remember a dialogue in Stephen Chow's movie: "Our taste buds are distributed on the surface of the tongue, and there are none below. Sweet taste buds are on the tip of the tongue, bitter taste buds are near the throat, and sour taste buds are distributed on both sides of the tongue. So.
When we taste wine, we should roll our tongues in a circle, so that we can avoid the sour taste buds on both sides, and let the wine wander between the sweet and bitter taste buds, first sweet and then bitter, just like the feeling of first love.
Same..." After we laughed at Stephen Chow's exaggerated and funny performance, we were suddenly moved: the process of tasting wine like this is simply a romantic love, with all kinds of beautiful flavors lingering on the tip of our tongues, making our hearts flutter.
Tasting carefully is the only way for us to reach gourmet heaven.
Lin Qingxuan also told a story: When I was a child, I often stayed at my grandmother's house. I had many cousins. Every time we met to play together after dinner, I couldn't feel at ease when eating. I always picked it up and swallowed it in my mouth.
All I want to do is have fun.
At this time, my grandmother would hit our heads with her crutch and say, "Are you going to die if you eat so fast?" This sentence made me stunned for a moment, and then she would say slowly: "Eat so fast."
"Hey, how do you know the taste of a bowl of rice?" I remembered my grandmother's words deeply at that time. From then on, I was very attentive to eating and always had a good meal before going out to play.
yes!
Is eating in such a hurry to be reincarnated in a hurry?
Slow down and give your tongue some time. Only in this way can the delicious food express its various flavors.
I have a friend who is very good at playing, and his family is not short of money. He has never been interested in cosmetics, luxury goods, etc. He only likes good food, and he is very good at eating and cooking.
Last year, when she came to Beijing for a meeting, she took several of our friends to an internet celebrity store to check in and drink Xiaodiaoli Soup. The soup was very thick, tasted very light, and had an endless aftertaste.
There are also red brick-colored adzuki bean cold cakes that are sweet but not greasy, and goose velvet-colored pea cakes that are cold and sweet. We also ordered soft pot-roasted lamb, crispy and delicious fried tripe, and cool and refreshing cabbage heart-bone pork.
My friends know that I usually eat quickly, so they keep telling me to savor the taste of these delicacies, eat slowly, chew carefully, use my taste buds to slowly feel the taste of the delicacies, and slow down my eating pace.
Not long ago, she sent me some braised food from her hometown and asked me to steam it for ten minutes before eating it.
Whenever I taste these braised beef, braised chicken, braised duck tongue and chicken skin, I can't help but think of this friend. The total time we spent together was less than two months, and the things we talked about at that time were not the same.
There are too many, but I always think of her when I eat. She taught me to eat slowly, learn to enjoy food, and enjoy the current life.
