Chapter 76 Postscript to this lucky adventure

Using language to create a sense of imagery, even traveling through the past and the future, is the beauty I have always admired the most.When visiting the vegetable market in Guangzhou, there are a few words created by the neighbors that always make me memorable-green vegetables in the suburbs, fresh milk from the pasture, and fresh shrimps in the water.Just reading it in my mouth, I feel that it is so fresh!Good copywriting masters always come from the folks. The small sign on the orange stand reads "Sweeter than first love", and in just four words, it fully reveals the feeling of sweetness and sourness, and a feeling of youthfulness in my heart.

This is the power of words. It doesn't need to be gorgeous, and it doesn't quote classics, it just needs delicate observation.But writing a food book with no pictures at all is a lucky venture in this day and age.In the era of picture reading, everyone loves to look at beautiful pictures, although they may stay for three seconds and turn the page casually.However, is it really "no picture, no truth"?But I foolishly believe that there is nothing better than words to convey perception, it can curl up from the paper, and bring a generous breath and picture to the people who read the words.

I am Daka Chen, I live in Guangzhou, I grew up in Chaozhou, I worked as a magazine writer, I always want to be on the road, I am trying to be a recorder of Lonely Planet, with uneasy and absurd joy and fear. Although I support my family by writing food-related words, in fact, I don’t think there is anything delicious in life that will die if you don’t eat it, and I never try to convince others that “this is the right way to eat”.But how you treat eating is naturally related to how you treat life. You seem to choose vegetables, fruits, meat and seafood, and you look for spices and clothing hardware. It is these unimportant trivialities that make you who you are, shape the way of life of a city and a group of people, and also show Very different food culture and philosophy of life.

So, those delicacies that I have lingered in my mouth and the scenery that I have encountered on the road, I melt them into this bowl of hot human fireworks, and try to share the taste with you with words.In this book, you will find that there are not many detailed descriptions that only focus on the food itself. More often, it is hoped to discuss topics that resonate with you through the mouth of food, to reproduce the beauty of fun with a disapproving glance, or to pretend to be Bitter words share the power of love with you. Thank God, it is He who guards my heart more than anything else.I am grateful that after dealing with the world for so long, I can still face everything softly, and feel more and more that it is a beautiful thing to be alive and loving, even if life really has a lot of troubles in the way.

I would also like to thank many people: the fans who have left me messages asking "why don't you publish a book" since the blog days; the relatives and friends who have always encouraged and cared for me; sit next to me every night and play games to accompany me to write. My husband in the middle of the night; especially my mother, Ms. Zhang Xueyin, who allowed me to read many idle books that seemed to have nothing to do with my studies. Finally, one day, I also wrote an idle book that was "not doing business". All in all, if this bowl of human fireworks can bring you even a little bit of happiness and happiness, it will be my greatest honor.
