Interpretation in vernacular:

Notes on color and fragrance of dishes.

Eyes and nose are both neighbors of the mouth and the medium of the mouth. Before eating food, we often judge whether the food is delicious through eyes and nose.

Jia Yao, like a delicacy, is a good dish. As soon as it passes through the eyes and nose, the difference between its color sense and smell comes out.

Some dishes are clean and refreshing, such as white clouds in autumn.

Some dishes are rich in color, such as amber, and their fragrant aroma is also tangy. You don't need to bite them with your teeth, but taste them with your tongue, so you can know the subtlety of their taste.

however, if you want to look good, you can't stir-fry the color with sugar. The advantage of sugar color is that it is as red as amber, but the disadvantage is that the tail taste is bitter and burnt.

if you want to give fragrance to dishes, you should use as little spices as possible, and use its natural fragrance.

excessive use of spices will suppress the original fragrance of raw materials.

blindly pursuing seasoning and whitewashing, the final result is just getting farther and farther away from the original taste.

the result of excessive seasoning will hurt the taste of the ingredients themselves.
