It's very interesting to collect descriptions of food in literary works. Every time I read a book, as a foodie, I can't say that I pay special attention to it and put the wrong emphasis on it, but when I encounter a fragment about eating, I naturally have to study it carefully and taste it. Is this book delicious? It helps us to find out the paragraphs about food from many literary works and collect them into a book. The quality of a book can also be seen through these small fragments, not only reflecting the brushwork, but also describing the taste and food state subtly, which means that the author writes well and the story told will naturally not be much worse. Because it is not easy to write food well, the author should at least be a person who loves life and has obvious observation ability. This book takes us to know a writer and his works from another angle from the details of diet. Although I have never read some works, everyone has eaten.
is this book delicious? The author is Zhang Jiawei, a writer from mainland China, known as Zhang Gongzi. He is Han Han's brother. After consulting Zhang Gongzi's representative works, I was surprised by the wide range of his books. Look, Kobe Bryant, The Answer: The Biography of allen iverson, The Legend of Shaq, a collection of essays to cure food and emotions, Lonely people need to eat enough, nothing more than a bowl of hot soup, Monet and his eyes, Rembrandt 1642 in the field of writing art, and a fictional novel that whispers in broken language. Is there anything in this world that Zhang Gongzi doesn't know? Today, let's enjoy the delicious food feast in the literary world that he brought us.
As the hometown of Mr. Da, a Shaoxing native, he naturally knows the food in his works best. Back in those days, when I went to study in other places, the Shaoxing specialty that teachers and classmates knew the most was Lu Xun. When it comes to eating in our small place, they all know fennel beans and yellow wine from Lu Xun's novel Kong Yiji. As the only Shaoxing person in my class, I have been obsessed with Lu Xun for several years. To tell the truth, we don't know each other very well except that we have read several books by Mr. Da and visited his home several times, but our classmates always think that Mr. Da belongs to my family. From snacks to big ones, we are not surprised by the delicious food mentioned in Mr. Lu Xun's Eating, and our place is far away from several villages and towns, so eating is naturally different. The steamed fish in Diary of a Madman is "just like those who want to eat people". Although it looks terrible, it tastes fresh. Mother loves to eat fish, especially steamed fish. First, because she is lazy, steaming fish is simple and convenient, and there is no need to be contaminated with oil and smoke. Second, only steaming is more active and original. It is a pity that the lotus white in Dragon Boat Festival has never been tasted. As for the green beans mentioned in "Hometown", they are not easy to tender and troublesome to handle, and probably only cultured people will put them in fried rice. As far as I know, people around me don't like this kind of frying method. The most famous ones are yellow rice wine, salted bamboo shoots and fennel beans in Kong Yiji. Yellow rice wine is also used as cooking wine, and we also use flower carvings to get drunk or get drunk. Carved and cooked drunken crab is my favorite food. I must eat it when I go to Shaoxing city, but my family prefers to get drunk. In this era, children generally don't like to eat fennel beans, and only my grandfather likes to drink fennel beans, which is crispy. The author doesn't know what salt-boiled bamboo shoots are, but my experience as a Shaoxing native must be flat-pointed. Salt-boiled bamboo shoots are not delicious after drying, and they are delicious when eaten dry. In The Storm, the "black steamed dried vegetables" are steamed with pork belly, and the dense oil sticks to the dried vegetables, which is sweet, fragrant and fragrant. It is a very common hometown dish, but it is very satisfying to have a bowl.
The author not only introduced the food written by Mr. Da, but also the delicious food selected from famous Chinese and foreign brands. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the green plum boiled wine is a hero, and The Journey to the West's pig Bajie swallowed the ginseng fruit without tasting it. Did you want to taste it when you were young? Not to mention the exquisite eating in A Dream of Red Mansions. Food is the most important thing for the people. Come to dinner soon, as this food feast in the literary world.
