Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Gu Qingsheng's delicious food essay

Cong Wei "Food is the most important thing for the people". With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for food have gradually changed, and food culture has been paid more and more attention.Gu Qingsheng's prose is his wandering eating essay, which uses "eating" as the carrier to express his life attitude and life perception. His prose is concise, beautiful, humorous and seductive.This kind of allure is not only that the food experience he wrote makes people salivate; what is more alluring is that his words keep you away from those worldly disputes, despair and decadence, and make you infinitely yearn for the essence of life. It is true and beautiful, when your heart reads those words, it will suddenly become extremely soft and warm.His eyes look over the suffocating urban forest, you can hear the breath of ants, smell the fragrance of the soil, and be moved by the rolling of a dewdrop. You can feel the passion he poured into each text, and his love for nature. deep love.

Gu Qingsheng is a writer as well as a foodie.In Gu Qingsheng's pen, "eating" is not only an art of taste, but also an art of feeling. He does not taste food with his mouth, but savors every delicious food bestowed by nature with his heart. The pen in his hand vividly depicts the unique psychological feelings.Some foods that are so ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people can't be more ordinary, but he can taste them in a different way.For example, the fragrance of a vegetable root, the sweetness of a grain of rice, the fragrance of a sweet potato, and the sweetness of a spring water.As in ancient times, the kind of finely fried text that contains the reasoning between one vegetable and one thing, one thing and one thing, every word is pearls, self-cultivation, making people appreciate the flavor of Zen, far-reaching and long-lasting.

Reading Gu Qingsheng’s beautiful articles on food, I suddenly felt that my rich and fulfilling spiritual life without any worries about food and clothing had suddenly become pale and boring. It turns out that I have never been to so many beautiful cities and villages, and there are countless beautiful I have never tasted incomparable delicacies, and I have never experienced thousands of true and beautiful life experiences.Those nights when I illustrated Gu Qingsheng’s prose, I often felt hungry. This feeling was not only from the yearning for those tempting foods, but also from a spiritual thirst, the kind of desire to immediately Go out of the city, visit streams and fields, feel the pulse of nature and the longing to listen to the low voice of tiny life.Gu Qingsheng traveled the world, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, tasted delicious food, and wrote beautiful articles. Those delicate and rich life insights cannot be written or experienced in a lifetime.

If you are tired of reading the petty bourgeoisie and the decadent and pessimistic emotions in the city, and the provocative writing that criticizes the current disadvantages, and then read these fragrant and earthy writings, you will slowly calm down, close your eyes and enjoy the sunshine flooding yourself The kind of warm and bright taste.Real humor is gentle, spontaneous, and suddenly touches your laughing nerve when you are not defending.Gu Qingsheng's humor is deep in his bones. When I add illustrations to his prose, I often can't help laughing out loud. This kind of laughter overflows from the bottom of my heart and comes from the heart.Gu Qingsheng wrote in "Authentic Lintong": "It is late in the west, it is seven o'clock, the head is gray and blue, and I am a little desperate for hunger. Think about it, Lintong is the place where Yang Guifei bathes and eats lychees. Huaqing Pool Washed and creamed, the complexion is so good? My God, don’t think about lychees.” “There are three things I will never forget in Lintong. One is that the novelist Xiaobai choked up when he talked about literature and art, and he never heard it again. The other is Lu Yao won the Mao Dun Literature Award, Spring Breeze Report, autographed. I squeezed the stage with a big book

Up, I was high, handed down the notebook, broke through when encountering resistance, slapped Lu Yao on the top of his head, bald, suddenly felt that he had done something bad.I thought, if you become famous, you have to sign like Lu Yao.Once again, I was caught by the police for taking pictures of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. He wrote in "Simplicity and Abundance": "The kang where the northerners sleep, I also thought they were sleeping on the stove at first, and it made people worry that they would burn their buttocks when they were sleeping soundly."However, I'm sure they'll have a secret mechanism in place to call the police before their ass burns."

The illustrations I provided for Gu Qingsheng’s prose are not my previous illustration style with a little petty bourgeoisie flavor, nor is it the previous aggressive philosophical comic style. I have adopted a way of thinking close to nature, because it is As an illustration of food culture, I use a slanderous, smart, and bad cat as the main character to express certain emotions and feelings. I use landscapes, plants, and animals in nature as the main objects of expression to seek a kind of gentleness. Humorous, trying to use a charming, soft, simple and smooth lines to interpret the moving in the text, the love of life.

Eating taste, eating culture and thoughts - this is the never-ending feast brought to us by Gu Qingsheng.
