Chapter 51 Qushui Liushang

At the beginning of 1980, Shu Ting, a female worker of the Xiamen Light Bulb Factory, wrote the following poem in a depressed mood: in the stream of time night and night close together We removed from the assembly line of the factory Come home again in an assembly line ... I feel everything with a common beat In the assembly line of time, Shu Ting left the factory assembly line and went ashore. Twenty years later, even the last Euglena in Xiamen Bulb Factory on Gulangyu Island was completely removed. However, the assembly line and the industrialization process marked by the assembly line have never stopped for a minute, and have expanded from factories to catering, and from kitchens to dining tables.In the past decade, the reason why sushi has transformed into a food as popular as MTV among young people in Japan and across Asia, and made them feel "a common beat" is largely due to the assembly line The changes in production and consumption brought about by the promotion of the fire, that is, the emergence of conveyor belt sushi restaurants.

The assembly-line sushi conveyor belt is the main asset of every conveyor belt sushi restaurant.The chef stands in the middle and continuously puts the processed food on the conveyor belt, while the diners sit around like workers, from a place that is strictly limited to moving five meters per minute and turning around every six minutes. Feed freely on the conveyor belt.Revolving not only changed the presentation of sushi, but also completed the maximum industrialization and procedural transformation of this "temper food" in the context of globalization. Every time I look through the floor-to-ceiling glass and see the happy young people sitting around the food conveyor belt, I can't help but think of the old Pink Floyd's once sensational MTV, "The Wall", "The Wall" Another Brick II": Teams of students are sent to a huge pipeline, and then enter the meat grinder in file, and a row of walking corpses are continuously conveyed from the other end of the meat grinder.

We don't need indoctrination, We don't need our minds to be controlled, It's just another brick in the wall, You are just another brick in the wall. Of course, these were all fashionable ideas in the early 1980s. More than twenty years later, if you shout at the door of a certain conveyor belt sushi restaurant, "We don't need conveyor belt sushi, we don't need all the food that has been programmed and globalized, and we don't need taste to be controlled." Before the security guards were called in, those strong diners who were still chewing on sushi rushed out from inside and beat you up.

Of course, there is no way to cheer yourself up. Wouldn’t the conveyor belt sushi help you imagine the everlasting "Qushui Liushang" that happened in the Lanting of Shanyin in Kuaiji in the late spring of the ninth year of Yonghe? ?Of course, this is just an imagination.I have never been to Shaoxing, but Lanting has seen it on TV. It was also the third day of March. A large group of tourists wearing uniform sun hats, under the command of the tour guide, rushed to fill the bottle filled with various carbonated drinks. Disposable plastic cups are placed in Qushui to "flow cups".

The Japanese seem to have an abiding interest in this "shui shui shang" style of eating.According to reports, at the flower viewing event (hydrangea, called hydrangea) in Gomodo Mountain, Tiangami Town, Niigata Prefecture, the local people also held a "curved water flow noodles" activity: first, they erected it on the mountain with split bamboo tubes. A 274-meter-long "water channel", and then pour the cooked cold noodles into the bamboo tube from the highest point, and tourists intercept the cold noodles flowing down the river in the middle. It is said that it is a Chinese expatriate who started the revolving sushi and opened the first revolving sushi restaurant in Japan.
