Chapter 12 Is it delicious?

Although a chivalrous man also has an ordinary heart, and it is inevitable that this ordinary heart will be shaken sometimes, but a chivalrous man is an extraordinary person, from his behavior to his conduct, he is different in every way, even if the needs of the storyline must be male and female, and when he must eat and drink , The movement is also very different from ordinary people.For example, Lu Xiaofeng prefers to adopt this position when drinking: "When he is lying on the bed, he usually likes to put a large glass of wine on his chest, and then he is as motionless as a dead person. Take a deep breath, the wine glass on the chest will be sucked away, and the wine in the glass will be sucked into the mouth, and with a 'goo' sound, the wine will be in the stomach." Another example, in Jiang Yulang's It took a year to dig it out.” In the basement sheltered by a cesspit, there were two jars of wine, a large pile of bacon, sausages, and glutinous rice cakes. Stored in the cesspit, those sausages were still suspended in the air, so that after the little fish "laid down comfortably on the quilt", they could pick one off and take a bite, "It tastes good, very good . ” With only one word “pick”, the cesspit tasted like wine pool and meat forest.For another example, Hong Qigong grabbed the tails of poisonous centipedes casually, and then threw these harmful insects into a pot of boiling water. The shell falls off with the hand, revealing the meat, white and transparent, like a prawn, very beautiful.” Then add oil and vinegar, and deep-fry in a frying pan, “immediately a scent rushes to the nose.” I found that, in addition to Hong Except for Qigong's "prawns", there are not many scenes in martial arts novels where heroes pinch seafood.I don't know if this has something to do with seafood always exuding a vulgarity that is incompatible with "Xia" in the society that Gu Long and Jin Yong lived in at that time.

When it comes to Hong Qi, one cannot help calling him the No. 1 God of Cookery in the world of martial arts novels.Of course, apart from Hong Qi's role as the leader of the beggar gang, this is mainly due to the needs of the storyline. If he cheats out, Guo Jing's kung fu will never be perfect.However, some insiders in the catering industry love Hong Qi more than anyone else. This is because "Kanglong Yougui" is probably the most operational catering scene written in martial arts novels.A few years ago, two well-known restaurants in Taiwan and Hong Kong jointly prepared the "Shooting the Condor Heroes Banquet" based on the allusion of "Shooting the Condors". The banquet was supervised by the gourmet Cai Lan. Although I haven't eaten "Xia Cuisine", I believe it should be delicious, because things like beggar chicken and steamed tofu with ham are at least not unpalatable.But at the same time, I also believe that Mr. He Manzi's views on martial arts novels can also be applied to "chivalrous cuisine", that is, even if you have not eaten this kind of cuisine, you can still scold it like a ritual.In fact, compared with fighting, eating and drinking are not the strengths of martial arts novels. After this, readers' imagination of "Xia" will be filled with a table of extremely real and even greasy dishes, and the virtual Jianghu will also It will then dry up.You can destroy the valuable things in life for others to see, and you can also tear up the worthless things for others to see, but you can’t cook the food in the kitchen for you to eat. If this kind of behavior is true” There is a play", there is no way it is not a farce.
