Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Eating and Civilization

Occasionally invite friends to the tavern for a drink, and if there is a lady among them, the service lady who handed over the recipe as a "statement statement" may tell you very quickly without waiting for you to read the recipe: our hotel's special dish is steamed Braised soft-shelled turtle with braised abalone and stewed puffer fish... Drinks include Moutai Wuliangye Remy Martin Hennessy XO... Whenever I come to this time, I ask it to stop: what era is it now?Only bastards eat bastards! As far as my thoughts on food are concerned, I don’t agree with Chinese people’s strange pursuit of food, such as eating pangolins and drinking panda soup, it really makes people feel how bad and unappetizing the uneducated way of eating is.Uneducated eating reflects the lack of food literacy. People with low food literacy, like Wang Xiaoer who can't understand love stories but specializes in reading pornographic novels, blindly like bizarre and exciting. Popular crooked nose.I know a well-educated gourmet, he will cherish any opportunity to eat, for example, if he has a new lettuce on the market, he will examine it again and again, and plan several sets of lettuce making plans. Shredded lettuce?Or stir-fry lettuce slices with char siu pork?Or even make a bacon and lettuce soup?In short, this lettuce is ready. It can give you the goodness of life in ordinary days. You can't rule out the possibility. If you know this, wash the lettuce leaves and scald them with boiling water, pour some chili oil and a little Grind sesame oil, and a very delicious dish is completed.

The degeneration of the world's eating style is always heartbreaking. Many people often criticize behaviors such as drinking panda soup by eating state-protected animals. Starting from the idea of ​​abiding by the law and protecting rare animals, it is the right thing to do. However, I have not seen anyone stand up and give a strong criticism from the perspective of lack of civilization. Mr. Lu Xun criticized quack doctors back then. Introducing medicine with such a strange medicine can probably cover up the evil tricks of quack doctors. It must not be forgotten that after a long time, people can also identify quack doctors based on the introduction of this medicine.

The eating culture of an era can more or less reflect the general mentality of the society in this era. Eating expensive and rare animals can reflect impetuous and frivolous social thoughts. Inferiority and inexorable desire to expand.Just as Napoleon used his sword to construct his glorious personal history, while Beethoven used his musical notes to impress the hearts of millions of people in the world, so a person who has made no achievements will always find spiritual pleasure by eating swan meat .This is of course sad, but it always happens before our eyes, just as uncivilized incidents inevitably occur in all kinds of places in society, and the behavior of eating reflects the lack of human civilization is so thrilling.

Of course I know that the ladies in the hotel (mostly working girls) had no intention of doing so. It was probably the boss who hid behind the lobby who ordered me to know how boring and rascal such a boss is. It's a bit weird, this weirdness is nothing more than to make people pay more money, but if you think that China is full of 250, you are not seeing the direction of the wind. I have heard similar bad bosses preach: life is eating, playing, and having fun , don't let yourself down.If this statement is true, why are you spending so much effort to open a hotel?Why not take a leisurely stroll down the street by yourself.

I think it takes a cockroach to enter a hotel, and it cannot be ruled out that it is a mentally handicapped one.
