? Mr. Wang is a famous writer in my country, known as "a lyrical humanitarian, China's last pure literati, China's last scholar-official" and "the top gourmet in the literary world."
His writing is plain, simple and homely. His main works include "Da Nao Chronicles", "Ordained", "Supper Flower Collection", etc.
He enjoyed writing, cooking, and painting throughout his life.
As a foodie, I am not only obsessed with eating, but also have a special liking for articles related to eating. The other day I saw someone recommending Mr. Wang Zengqi’s "Cooking" and I immediately bought it. This, the master's work, must be good.
? It looks really good immediately after buying it! The text is like the person, and the master's freedom and ease are vividly reflected on the paper. After reading it, I not only gained a new understanding of the catering culture of various places, but more importantly, I also learned the master's principles of how to deal with people and how to behave.
? First of all, as a gourmet book, it contains many recipes for different dishes from various places, which makes foodies who love food get addicted to the words first. You can try the method written by the master to enrich the recipes and make your life more flavorful.
The second is the master's attitude towards life. The book mentions many times that life should be as complex as eating and try more. In an article written by Mr. Douzhier, he wrote: I am a person who "doesn't eat dusters if I have hair, I don't eat benches if I have legs, I don't eat dead people if I'm big, I don't eat flies if I'm small." At the end of another article "Taste", he wrote: "In short, a person's taste should be wider and more complex, "sweet in the south, salty in the north, spicy in the east and sour in the west". Try them all. This is true for food, The same should be true for culture. ”
The third is Mr.’s academic and intellectual rigor. Regardless of whether he reflected it in a specially written article "Eating and Drinking of People in the Song Dynasty", it was also reflected in many short articles. He not only wants to understand it, but also thinks about it carefully. For example, he scrutinized the mandarin fish in "Mandarin Fish".
Fourth, the love of life by the master and his friends allows us to re-understand these masters in our hearts from another angle, allowing us to get closer to them, and they also bring us Here comes the warmth of some ordinary people. For example, he wrote in "The Old Search for the Esophagus - Preface to "Students Talk about Eating"": "Mr. Shen Congwen often dines at a rice noodle shop. Comrade Ba Jin mentioned in "Remembering Congwen": "I still remember that in Kunming We met him several times in a small restaurant. We had one or two bowls of rice noodles, tomatoes, and eggs for dinner, and we were satisfied. "This rice noodle shop is opposite his dormitory on Wenlin Street. I have eaten rice noodles with Mr. Shen many times." "My junior sister, the third sister Zhang Zhaohe, can cook." "The fourth sister Zhang Chonghe is versatile and has a good reputation. The writing is excellent and the music is excellent... I have forgotten most of the dishes she cooked, but I only remember the "Ten Spicy Vegetables" she cooked."
Fifth, the article contains a lot of information about Mr. Wang's family. The past events give us an in-depth understanding of the folk life of old Beijing between the lines. In the flow of words, we can also see the family education of Mr. Wang’s children.
The text is plain and simple, and we feel family and warmth in the simplicity.
? It is a warm and humane book. This collection of essays is worth reading.
? Let us moisturize things silently when we look at the delicious food. We are moistened by the master's words and deeds.
