Wu Wenjian: The years are quiet. Let's talk about eating.

Like human beings, "food color is also the first", which is not controversial. Being able to use fire is a revolutionary leap-heating and cooking food. Therefore, civilization is inseparable from eating.

"Eating food" has been a curse since ancient times. In recent years, the meaning of this word has changed on the Internet. Cooking is the real food. I'll stretch it a little longer, or I'll be greedy.

Play Weibo often send their own cooking, basically home cooking. Many people like to watch it, including people who usually have opposite views on me. Sometimes, the next day after eating, some netizens follow suit to cook.

Actually, I don't know how to cook, but I have a sharp mouth. The food in the restaurant is just enough to eat. In recent 20 years, I mainly eat out or buy cooked food to make do with a meal, mainly because I am lazy. I prefer cooking to washing pots and bowls. I really don't like eating out, so I cook by myself.

I have cooked more by myself in recent years. One reason is that the ingredients in restaurants outside are really uneasy, although the surface is quite clean. Another time I had dinner, I saw the restaurant replenish stock. The cooking oil at least five times larger than the Luhua brand oil drum was sold to the restaurant for only 100 yuan, and the restaurant owner finally made a deal in 90 yuan. I was shocked to see this, even the cost of exquisite gutter oil would not be so cheap.

With the growth of my age, I like home cooking more and more, preferably the kind specially made for ordinary people. The stomach has a memory, hunger and food. The stomach remembers it clearly and comes out from time to time.

A few months after I was released from prison, the first art teacher, Mr. Li, took my brother and me to the Gloria Hotel in Yalong Bay, Sanya to paint murals, and we stayed at the hotel. Later, I heard that the It hotel was demolished and rebuilt. At that time, there was only one hotel in Yalong Bay, and a white luxury cruise ship stood on the original beach landform, which was beautiful and spectacular.

I stayed in it for several years, ate and lived in a five-star hotel at once, fell into the swill tank like a pig, and was full of food and drink. Hundreds of buffet foods are tempting and appetite is greatly increased. Drinking a glass of iced juice before meals is comfortable and authentic.

At first, I liked to eat three meals a day in the hotel and pretend to be a gentleman with a knife and fork. Almost ten days have passed, and no matter how good I eat, I still feel empty. What are the disadvantages?

Later, I suggested that everyone go to the city to eat Zhajiang noodles, which was unanimously passed. After 40 miles in the city, I found a small restaurant opened by the northeast people. The boss said that soy sauce was shipped from the northeast, of course we like it. I ordered two bags of garlic, and it's ready. As soon as Zhajiang Noodles came up, you began to eat.

I ate first, and then they ate one after another. I said, did you find out? As soon as Zhajiang noodles were served, we all began to eat without saying a word. You laughed. In fact, they are also tired of eating in hotels. I'm embarrassed to say. We each asked for another bowl and chatted while eating, which was very happy. I said with emotion: it seems impossible to completely westernize, and it is difficult to change the tradition no matter how good or bad it is.

Soon after, Yalong Bay Cactus Hotel was built, and we went there to do some art projects. The hotel eats and stays, and there is a cup of the Great Wall taken out of the ice before the meal, which is dry and comfortable. But we still went to the city to eat stew and home-cooked dishes for a week. There is a good restaurant in the "Northeast", which eats chopped green onion cakes, stewed chicken and mushrooms and so on. Authentic! It is true that one side is different from the other, and the adaptability of the stomach is very poor, which also affects the "feeling" of the mind and brain.

Then I went to work in an advertising company and took charge of some meetings and other affairs in the China office of Intel Corporation. Advertising companies are good at this. There is no standard for food expenses on business trips, and they are reimbursed.

I am mainly responsible for training courses in Intel's offices around the world. World-famous companies hold meetings for distributors all over the world. The best hotel in the area, of course. We also eat in the hotel, although we don't like it very much, in order to save time. I have been to many five-star hotels all over the country, and found that the food tastes similar, and eating it often will make people bored.

The work is also hard, so we need to find local workers to do some work, such as the projector screen to be processed, the surrounding three-dimensional structure, and how to arrange the posters at the venue. Sometimes I often do it myself, such as putting the heavy study materials back in the warehouse. Once I was thirsty, I told the beautiful waitress to get a pot of coffee. That's a jar. The waiter said, sir, that pot is over 100 yuan. The waiter took me for a migrant worker. I said, what happened to more than one hundred? The coffee in the hotel is really better than the instant Nestle.

We usually travel on business. When we left the hotel, we took a taxi and told the driver that we had to 10 yuan to find the most popular restaurant in your area. The first time I went to Guangzhou, I showed my timidity. The driver put it down for us, and a colleague asked me to go to a nearby restaurant to see how it was.

As soon as I entered the door, a strong smell came to my face. There are chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, snakes and unspeakable animals in iron cages, and all kinds of seafood are dazzling.

I turned my head and came out. I told my brothers that this is a supermarket, not a restaurant, just like a farmer's market. A colleague said that Guangzhou restaurant is like this. Let's eat in it. As soon as we entered the door, we passed through the food selection area, and the elegant restaurant showed a large row of pots for everyone to choose from. Stop talking nonsense and eat!

The workload in Guangzhou was heavy that time, and the boss came to bring two colleagues the next day. I worked hard at night, got up very late the next day, and went to a good teahouse for morning tea at ten o'clock. This is also my first time to eat authentic morning tea in Guangzhou. It seems that it is the first time for two colleagues.

The boss ordered a lot after ordering. When the waiter delivered the food, the boss called and we began to eat. The boss finished the phone call, looked at the table and said, fuck, I ate all the tables when I called! We laughed and said that it was not enough to eat. One steamer is three jiaozi, and the amount of food is too small. Four chicken feet on a plate. . . This is not enough to eat.

The boss also called the service to order food, specifically saying it was double. Morning tea is delicious, and I have to admire Cantonese food. After a while, it dried again, and the boss ordered it again. After laughing, he said that Guangzhou lost the job! There were so many guests in the teahouse that the waiters didn't have time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and we didn't let them clean up, so the food was left on empty plates.

The beautiful waiter gave us food while laughing, and everyone around us who drank morning tea smiled at us. We ordered it three times, and the plates and bowls on the table were very thick. I ate my stomach crooked. When you walked back to the hotel, you said that Guangzhou people were too stingy and asked for a pot of tea or two or three side dishes. Talking without eating is really boring!

In the past few years in an advertising company, the whole country did eat a lot of delicious food, especially the reimbursement of the unit. Eating delicious food without spending your own money is cool. Eat more.

I gradually lost interest in the food in the restaurant and missed the food at home when I was a child. Besides, my mother died early, and my memory of her is frequent. Until now, all the memories of my mother have turned into sadness. Mom's cooking, of course, is also part of the memory.

At that time, the family was generally poor. Although we are better under the conditions of large state-owned enterprises, the overall environment cannot be compared with now. Mother always treats meals in different ways, as if cooking at home is her belief.

For example, my mother cooks jiaozi, half corn flour and half white flour. She ate this because she was poor. Buy a catty of pork, cut the skin into a thick layer of fat, then cook it with water and chop it up. At that time, Chinese cabbage was very big, so the bundles were chopped with hot water. The big dish dumplings made of fat skin and vegetable dumplings are very fragrant, especially when the meat slices are still fat. The next day, I wrapped jiaozi in cabbage and meat without a big belt.

As I get older, I feel nostalgic, and food likes the feeling and taste of the past. I have eaten many dishes in high-end restaurants. I have eaten in restaurants around the community for many years and am too lazy to cook. I really don't want to eat, so I recall the meals at home when I was a child and try to cook them myself. I feel that the system is good, and my cooking skills are OK-including jiaozi, noodle soup, noodles with dregs, and all kinds of dishes with past tastes.

Although I don't like washing pots and pans, I regard cooking as a kind of enjoyment, an artistic creation and a feeling. Yesterday, a netizen asked me, how long does it take to cook in a day? He asked, this highlights the lack of emotional appeal in life, and I replied like this:

"Just a netizen replied to me and said, how long will it take you to cook this day? "

I don't know how to answer this question. Can only be explained by being tall.

Cooking is also a part of life, not to mention for yourself. If you are in trouble yourself, why pay for others?

The process of life is also the passage of life years. In your country, although it's hard to live, every time you pass by, you should find the beauty and fun and enjoy it.

Of course, life should have lofty ideals and goals, such as traveling to a resort, and don't give up enjoying the scenery along the way.

The same is true between men and women. After all, vigorous love is a minority or exists in film literature, and most people live in daily necessities.

If you love her (him), you should appreciate her (him) in a plain way. A move, a joke, a knowing look, and even occasional anger and epilepsy should be regarded as a kind of enjoyment and adjustment in life.

Listen to each other's condemnation as a symphony. What you see is Seiji Ozawa's natural and unrestrained command, not her (his) pestering.

Only by appreciating can we realize the meaning of love; If you know how to love, you will experience enjoyment.

This is true for both men and women, and so is cooking.
