I used to think that cooking was something that was impossible in my life. I thought from the bottom of my heart that if I had a wife who could "walk in the hall and in the kitchen", my life would be satisfying.

However, having too many skills does not mean we are overwhelmed. During the epidemic, we not only gained unlimited time at home, but also gained a lot of time to learn many skills, of which cooking is a good example.

"Food is the first necessity of the people". If you learn to cook, at least you will not go hungry. This is my original intention of learning to cook.

When it comes to cooking, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, each one is a matter of knowledge.

I don’t dare to say that I know much about cooking, but from the transformation of dynamic and static, the interaction of fire and heat, I realized the philosophy of life in tea, rice, oil and salt.

The amount of rice you wash corresponds to the amount of water. This is proportional. If there is too much rice, the water will evaporate. If there is too much water, there will be leftovers in the cooked rice. This is just like people "No rules can make a circle."

For Chinese people, it is stir-fried over high heat and served with star anise, aniseed, pepper, onion, ginger and garlic. Although there is a lot of oil smoke, the soul-stirring aroma of the dish has long made people forget about the inconspicuous smoke and fire.

There is no lack of philosophy of life in this: Everything is opposite and complementary. There is no absolutely beautiful or absolutely painful thing. The key lies in how we personally look at it.

This is a vivid manifestation of the fact that internal factors are the decisive factors in the development process of things.

Cooking, frying, simmering, steaming, stir-frying, stir-frying, stir-frying, marinating, and cooking may seem like ordinary things, but they are indeed a vast knowledge.

What impressed me the most was the difference between frying and stir-frying.

When frying and deep-frying food, the heat should not be too high, otherwise you will eat "paste"; when cooking, if there is no high heat, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar will lose their meaning.

I still remember that not long ago, I used a high fire to bake cakes with my hands, and baked a lot of "paste". It happened that my mother came home, looked at the traces of oil smoke coming out of the cake, criticized me, and then

I turned off the fire, embarrassed and confused.

Later I found out that if the fire is too high, it will be more difficult to cook this cake. From this, I quickly thought that "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry". Just like this, "slow heating" can make crispy and delicious cakes.

cake.

The same is true in life. If you are too eager for success, the result will be "nothing accomplished." This truth has been verified countless times in practice, and it has been this truth since ancient times.

Since I often cook at home, the most commonly used tool is a wok, so I have a "soft spot" for it.

Although the wok is small, it has a different world. It can hold a full pot of dishes and a family can enjoy it.

Stir-fried dishes require different heat and seasonings according to different dishes. Some focus on the freshness and crispness of the dishes, while others rely on the "fried sugar color" to whet the appetite.

It is true that although we only have one body, we have different identities in this society, so that the principles behind what we say on any occasion are similar.

After the epidemic has been greatly alleviated, the resumption of work has made the whole family busy. I have taken on the "spooning" job at home and become the "cooking soldier" in the family. The top priority every day is to buy vegetables and cook, and complete the preparation of ingredients.

"mission".

When bowls of hot rice are brought to the table, busy parents also return home from get off work. This is the greatest happiness of the day.

We eat and chat about countless topics every day. The most communication a family has in a day is the chat at the dinner table.

It doesn't have to be very luxurious, just a sumptuous meal, the family gathers around the dining table, just like that, three meals a day, the sun and the moon change with it.

It seems ordinary, but when you think about it carefully, you can find a lot of novelties. I think this is the truth contained in tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

When life is frustrated, it is like a stir-fry without seasoning or lack of heat. But when life is successful, it is like the sweetness of steamed rice, or like eating a bowl of hot noodles when it is cold.

"In this world, food and love are the only things we can't live up to." Through the philosophy of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, we have learned about all kinds of life, and we have also tasted the various aspects of life in the ups and downs, bitterness, spicy and salty.

Life is like cooking a table of meals. Cook with heart and suffer with sincerity, so that our life can be sweet and long-lasting.
