Nowadays our life pace is very fast, young people I like to order takeout and talk about poetry and distant places. I want to ask them, you just order takeout every day to cope with life, and you are so content in the present, how can you have poetry and distance?

If there is any secret in my dishes, it is that I will remember what ingredients and flavors each friend likes, and cook them with love and heart.

When making soup, you can listen to music, make tea, sing or dance for such a long time.

My students, at the end of the year, everyone cooks a specialty dish and we have a PARTY. The following note is what I wrote after our party.

>>>Respect Heaven and Cherish Things<<<

The "Eat Everywhere" column is going to film me. For a New Year's Eve dinner, I said that I had already cooked it with my friends this year. If they really wanted to take pictures, my request was to take pictures of how to turn the leftovers into a gorgeous way.

Every family will not finish the fish during the Chinese New Year, so we use the remaining fish meat to make fish soup. It can be made into sweet and sour flavor, or you can add green pickles to make beautiful pickles. Vegetable and fish soup.

What to do with the leftover rice is really hard for me. It can be used to make egg fried rice, water-soaked rice, chazuke rice, bean soup rice, and pickled vegetable rice. The leftover rice can also be used to make rice milk. Add some to it next time you cook porridge, and the porridge will be thicker. It will be especially delicious if you beat the fried soybeans, peanuts and roasted rice together into rice milk. Leftover rice can also be used to make rice balls. You can use cute molds to interact with children. You can also make sushi or Taiwanese rice balls with a lot of ingredients inside.

I like to make radish cake during the Chinese New Year. If the radish cake does not require skin, I will peel the radish skin a little thicker, cut it into rhombuses, cut it into strips, and make various small pickles. This is also a change. A way of turning waste into treasure.

To respect God is to thank God for giving us good weather. We also need to learn how to cherish things. When we were young, our collars and cuffs were often worn out, so we would wear them inside out.

When there is so much material, we should be grateful and not waste it. We should pack the food we can’t finish. After taking it home, we can combine the leftovers to make delicious food. Northeastern stew is a very good idea. You can stew the remaining braised pork together, which will make it more delicious.

A friend said, One of the seven greatest blessings in life is to be my neighbor. I admit that I like drinking. I like the feeling of being surrounded by friends and having a good time while drinking. What is depression? I would only be depressed unless I don’t know what I’m going to eat tomorrow.

Noodles can be made in any shape.

Once we were teaching braised pork in class, and the students were so excited to eat it that they didn’t care about themselves.

Zhang Daqian invited me to dinner. I remember that the menu included twice-cooked pork, folded ear root, etc. Everyone like Zhang Daqian cooks the food himself, but the menu he wrote was also taken away. Now, every time I teach students, I use a brush to write menus, but now no one comes to follow my menus.

Scallion pancakes, this dish, I still can't make it taste like my mother's. I also use lard, maybe it's because the quality of lard now is not as good as before.

I was born when my family was fleeing from Tianjin to Guangdong. It was an era of war and chaos. After arriving in Taiwan, we lived in a military village. My mother is very dissatisfied with me and always says that I am not as good as my sister in everything. But when I eat sweet and sour yellow croaker, my mother looks at me with a smile.

Now that I think about it, the reason why my mother did that to me was probably because she blamed herself. When she saw me, she would think of my sister. If she loved me more, , she will owe my sister even more. Until 1987, my mother went to Tianjin as soon as possible and found my sister.

In my memory, when my mother looked at me eating small yellow croakers with a smile, I could feel her love for me. Only at this time, she would not care about my wanton eating behavior. . This is the sweetest connection in my heart with my mother.

This year I am 70 years old. When I want to record my recipes, I want to make these stories into a small documentary. The photographer asked me, what do you want to shoot for the first article? I decided to present my most precious picture. Before the shooting, they asked me if I wanted to prepare two copies, and I said no.

Although I have never made this dish for my own daughter, I have made it countless times in my mind. The sweet and sour yellow croaker is dark and inconspicuous. I could make it more beautiful, but I don't. I hope to keep the most authentic appearance of this dish.

When I was so young, I just gave birth to three children and worked, so I was very busy every day. At that time, men were a bit chauvinistic. Men read newspapers and drank tea. My father was like this. When I saw my husband doing this again, I thought it was natural. I never had the chance to be too close to my daughters. When I want to hug and kiss them again, they have grown up and they will shrink a little, which I regret.

Fortunately, I can capture the hearts of many people with my delicious food. I became a mother for the second time in Chengdu. My students and I were like mother and daughter, like best friends. My three daughters are also good at cooking. When they came to Chengdu for my birthday, they would be willing to arrange the dishes, but they would not cook, which shows that there are still many gaps between us.

This may be because my own abilities are too limited. The TV would be broken and the video recorder would be broken, but I turned the gas stove on and off every day and it didn't break.

I was raised in a military military village. I have traveled from all over the world, including uncles from all provinces. I might go to my Sichuan mother’s place to get some kimchi, my Shanghai mother’s place to sneak some porridge, or my Hunan mother’s place to eat some bacon. Just because of this fusion environment, I can accept any flavor. We can share delicious food with everyone, and we can also talk about why it tastes good and how to make it taste better.

I went to Ito to buy meat, and their manager asked me, why do I buy so much meat? I said I want to make rice dumplings. Did he say there were so many bags? Is it tasty? I said it’s delicious and I’ll send it to you then. Later, they asked me to go and sell my rice dumplings in the mall. They asked me if I had any ID. I said no, and their manager had no choice but to say, I will help you recommend it to your friends.

Why can I make delicious food? It’s because I cherish it and don’t want to make mistakes. When I was young, my mother-in-law didn't cook. She was going to play mahjong, so I had the opportunity to cook. The dishes I cook are often disliked by my mother-in-law, so I am cautious and hope that I will not get scolded next time. I am able to reach this point because of my mother-in-law and their persistent encouragement.

So, if someone criticizes you, you have to thank them because they are trying to make you successful.

No matter what others do , we decided by ourselves, we can give ourselves a gift every day, maybe a smile. Someone interviewed me before and asked me what I think about my current age. I replied that I have no opinion about my age. All opinions are your opinions.

Once I made old Beijing noodles with soybean paste for a director from Beijing. But if I only made mixed noodles with soybean paste, I was afraid that other friends who were not from Beijing would not be used to it, so I made some other side dishes. vegetable. But I wrote a small note to her, which read:

The director who had seen the scene burst into tears when he saw this note.

With a bowl of simple things, we put our heart into it, and we will make them feel loved.
