Chapter 100 elegant

Zhou Zuoren likes beer.While studying in Japan, he was used to drinking Japanese ale (that is, beer).After returning to China, his habit of drinking beer remained the same as before. Whenever he saw beer in the store, he would buy it and drink it. Zhou Zuoren loves tea, tastes it, and drinks it with two or three people under the paper window of a tiled house, with clear spring green tea, and a simple and elegant ceramic tea set. Half a day's leisure can be worth ten years of dusty dreams. Zhou Zuoren’s essays often mentioned food in various places. His early anthology "Book of Rainy Day" included "Beijing's Tea and Food" and "Drinking Tea" and other articles. His later work "Reminiscences of Zhitang" still had a special chapter "Eating on the Road" recalling leaving his hometown to go to school The flavors of snacks encountered on the way were compiled by later generations in "Zhi Tang Tan Eating", which left the impression of a "gourmet".

Zhou Zuoren often eats it to express his nostalgia for his hometown. He never forgets the shepherd's purse and yellow-flowered wheat fruit cake in the countryside of eastern Zhejiang, the dried tofu in Nanjing teahouse, and the bean and rice dim sum in Tokyo (Zhou Zuoren said that Tokyo is also his hometown); The preface of "Zhi Tang Tan Eating" said: "Whether you talk about eating or listening to talk about eating, the important thing is not eating, but talking about eating, that is, the temperament and demeanor towards real life."
