A brief talk about men and eating Liang Shiqiu
A man with rude words and deeds is definitely much gentler than a lady with gentle words and deeds when waving a pot and dancing shovel in the kitchen. Their gentleness and care when turning the dishes in the pot is comparable to a mother's tenderness for her baby. Admittedly, this is because men and women have completely different attitudes towards food.
most men are delicious. They are as generous in eating as women are in dressing up and never stint; Women don't. Most women think it's a waste to spend a lot of money on a good meal. Besides, eating a little more is likely to affect your figure, which is not cost-effective. Compared with women, men are obviously much less worried about this, so naturally they can rest assured that they will choke on food. This is probably one of the reasons why gourmets are mostly men.
Most women cook at home, while almost all cooks in restaurants are men. On the one hand, it is because of traditional culture; On the other hand, a woman is more willing to be a maid for the man she loves, while it is rare for a man to be willing to cook and cook soup for the woman he loves three times a day. If you want to cook, you have to find a glamorous place! In fact, it is undoubtedly the best choice for a man who is a gourmet to be a cook in a restaurant. This will not disappoint the diners who spend money to eat, and the guests and hosts will be happy and happy. On the other hand, when a cook is a profession, it is actually a physical activity at the same time. Women's physical strength is more inferior than that of men, and they lose the hardware foundation for becoming a restaurant cook.
Most men eat meat-
Liang Shiqiu has such a sentence in Men: "When he eats, he always finds meat at least one inch square and half an inch thick in the dish, in order to be considered a vegetarian. After seeing no meat for a few days, he shouted, "Let the birds fade out of your mouth!" If you don't know the taste of meat in March, I'm afraid you won't fade out!
Qian Zhongshu said in "God's Dream" that God only created everything and a man at first. After some days, the man felt boring, so God created a woman. After many days, both men and women felt that the vast land was too boring for only two people, so the woman first ran to ask God to create another man. God was very angry and thought that this human being was too dissatisfied, so she threatened the woman to destroy the existing man if she had this idea! The woman was afraid and went back. Shortly after the woman left, the man came to God and made the same request. God was so angry that he threatened the man that if he dared to make such a request again, he would ruin the present woman. Finally, for fear that the threat is not strong enough, I added another one: destroy pigs, cattle and sheep on the earth and let men have no meat to eat! The man went back despondently and never dared to mention the matter of making a woman again.
Both authors tell men's preference for meat with great humor. My male colleague who shared a room with me claimed that what is usually cut into small pieces and put in vegetables is not meat at all! This is what they told me when they came back from another male colleague's house after eating a delicious chunk of meat.
One day at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, I met a young man at the entrance of my village. He was caressing his belly with infinite satisfaction and said to himself, "I'm full and energetic again!" I'm about to burst out laughing! In this age of plenty of food and drink, it is rare for people to be so happy after eating a full meal. However, it reflects the words of Mr. Liang Shiqiu: "After a good meal, his outlook on life can be changed and he is optimistic about everything."
I don't know if psychologists have ever prescribed such a prescription for depressed and pessimistic patients: eat more delicious food.
