We know that everyone has various identities and titles in society. For example, Mr. Jiang Liyun is not only a food critic and god of food with professional standards and public credibility, but also the deputy secretary-general of Shanghai Food Culture Research Association and a freelance writer who has published many books on food culture. Netizens who often read his "food" blog know that he is also a very amiable grandfather. When we asked which of these multiple identities he loved best, Mr. Jiang did not hesitate to answer "Grandpa". As soon as he mentioned his granddaughter, the old man suddenly showed a lovely smile. He joked: "If you don't see your granddaughter one day, you will feel uncomfortable."

When talking about how to become a "food critic" from an ordinary person who eats and cooks, Mr. Jiang Liyun told us:

First of all, I majored in ancient prose when I was a graduate student in Fudan Journalism Department, and I started to work in a newspaper after graduation. Starting as an editor and journalist, I found that ancient prose was of great benefit to me in writing articles, especially articles on diet, and it was also helpful to guide people's diet.

Secondly, with the development of economy, all kinds of restaurants are coming out, all kinds of dishes have their origins to explore, and different cooking methods have their stories to pursue. Chinese food is extensive and profound, and it is fun to explore.

In addition, China has always been a big country of food, and the 5,-year-old civilization has created the continuous development of food culture. There are some representative gourmets in various dynasties, such as Su Dongpo, Li Yu and Yuan Mei, who have written many outstanding food works. These ancient cooking essences and dietary proverbs are well received by chefs, which can play a certain guiding role for chefs and contemporary diet. All kinds of opportunities make Mr. Jiang Liyun have a special complex about food culture.

As an immigrant city, people from all corners of the country gather here, and all kinds of restaurants and cultures compete to settle in. Not only can we easily taste the local cuisines such as the eight major cuisines and the sixteen groups in Shanghai, but we can basically see and eat the delicacies from all over the world. Teacher Jiang said that no matter whether foreign restaurants or other local cuisines want to enter the local area, there is no doubt that they must be improved and innovated. Only by extracting the essence of foreign dishes and organically integrating them according to the tastes of local guests can this dish be accepted by local guests more quickly and effectively.

nowadays, many new people who pay attention to emotional appeal like to go to western restaurants, and teenagers will choose hamburgers without hesitation between steamed stuffed buns and hamburgers. When talking about whether the introduction of western catering will damage China's catering culture, Mr. Jiang said confidently: "There is no such worry at all!" At present, Shanghai's catering market is a national success, and it is also an international restaurant. On the one hand, the flourishing situation of catering culture reflects the prosperity of Shanghai's economy; On the other hand, various dishes from different countries have greatly enriched Shanghai's food culture and people's appetite. "Eating in Shanghai" will become a classic saying more and more. But at the same time, Mr. Jiang said that we should never worry that our own delicacies will be submerged, and "liking the new and never getting tired of the old" is the most common attitude of Chinese people towards dishes.

While various food and beverage outlets have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, diners have more choices, a problem that comes with them is that they are also more dazzled and don't know how to choose. In this context, the website Gulu Mommy came to the diners in time. It has a huge catering database, which is convenient for diners to search according to their own conditions and find their favorite restaurants. For a network system like Mummy Gulp, Mr. Jiang believes that the network, as a fresh and rich new media and new tool, will inevitably play an increasingly important role in people's lives; Moreover, its radiation area will gradually expand from the younger generation to more people of all ages. Teacher Jiang himself began to contact this emerging media under the influence of many young friends and the impact of network information. Now, he not only often goes online to check all kinds of information about the catering industry, including what new stores are opened and new flavors are "baked", but also actively uses network tools to establish his own "food warehouse door old river" blog, and effectively plays the role of network tools in the information age.

Simply put, get in touch with local delicacies. And its practice. Historical background. And nutritional structure.
