Problem inquiry

1. Suzhou cuisine is a concentrated expression of Suzhou culture and Suzhou people's personality. Every food culture is a beautiful and vivid "business card", which not only records the unique natural environment and customs of a region, but also records people's wisdom, personality and attitude towards life. Suzhou cuisine is famous for its delicacy and freshness, which is ultimately determined by Suzhou's natural environment and people (heaven, earth and people). Therefore, while introducing and describing Suzhou cuisine, the article pays special attention to expressing Suzhou customs and habits and Suzhou people's character and life interest through Suzhou cuisine. Suzhou cuisine pays attention to freshness, because Suzhou is the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, with dense rivers and lakes and mild and humid climate, which is conducive to fish and shrimp reproduction and crop growth. You can also fish and touch shrimp at your own water pier. Who wants to eat those stale fish and shrimp Suzhou people prefer leeks, green broad beans, fresh bamboo shoots, cauliflower turtles, Taihu water shield, Malantou and so on. Their main ingredients are local products. It is precisely because Suzhou has such a good primitive agricultural environment that Suzhou people are willing to display their wisdom in diet, make a big fuss at the dinner table, and cultivate their own taste and mood in diet: "There are sometimes dishes in the four seasons and eight festivals. If you don't eat any seasonal dishes, the old lady or gentleman will sigh, as if this year's life is a little uncomfortable and there is always something missing. " Eating, in Suzhou, is more than just filling your stomach. It is not only Suzhou people's meticulous taste of life, but also their slow and meticulous understanding of life. Cooking is not processing food, but processing art; Eating is not to meet a single physiological need, but to taste art and meet higher spiritual needs. The author recalls a banquet in the 1950s, where the chefs got together and ate for four hours. Suzhou people are willing to spend time, wisdom and endurance on food, so the first of the three characteristics of Suzhou food is delicious. Being able to be meticulous is inseparable from Suzhou people's gentle personality, no hurry and no fire, and meticulous work. The dishes should be served one by one. Who but Suzhou people can do it?
