Chapter 397: There are always variables in this world

For the old leader of the capital, his theory cannot be said wrong. Because in this world, there will always be someone to be a pillar and someone to be a sword. Moreover, whether his ideas or practices are good, in China, it cannot even be regarded as wrong for any politician with a long-term vision in the world.

But there is only one thing that cannot be estimated, because not everything in this world can be under its control. There is no one who can control everything in the world omnisciently and omnipotently, so that all living beings can run according to his will. Not even God, because if there is a God in this world, then Zhang Tong will definitely disemboweled this God and cut off his head. Then he stepped on his corpse and sneered: "You are also worthy of being called God?"

No one can completely control anyone's fate, and everything that happens in the world will not exactly follow the prescribed script. Because there will always be game-breakers who don't know where they will come from.

In Zhang Tong's small shop.

A steaming pot of rice is boiling in the pot. Zangzi noodles are a very classic style of noodles in the Northwest, but just like all the food will change when you go out of the local area to ask for a life in other places. For example, in some places in France and the United States, due to food hygiene requirements, chefs are not allowed to directly touch the rice when making sushi. So the sushi in these places can only be made by machine, and a rice ball is put in and pressed into shape, and a piece of fish or something is placed on it. For many Orientals, such sushi is definitely soulless.

For example, there are many variants of the dandan noodles in Sichuan and Chongqing, especially after arriving in the East, the dandan noodles in the Dongyang Sichuan restaurant taste no different from the clear soup noodles with a spoonful of non-spicy chili fried meat foam.

But this is the adaptation of food to localization, change or die, this multiple-choice question is not difficult to do. Therefore, there are many variants of Zhenzi noodles after going out of the northwest, and even playing lo noodles with its close relatives has become a little indistinguishable from you and me. Probably this kind of business is easier to do if you have me and I have you.

However, Song Renjie came back from the northwest, and he really had requirements for the noodles. The key to whether a really good bowl of noodles is delicious or not is whether the boiling of the meat noodles is qualified.

The taste of the serious Zhenzi noodles is sour and slightly spicy, and the people of Jinxi love to be jealous and are famous throughout the country. And the only place to make vinegar into a museum for people to visit is probably Shanxi. That touch of heart-wrenching, mouth-watering, just smelling the sour smell that makes people from the tip of the tongue to the stomach ready to start working is the most important soul of the people of Jinxixi.

This is like the people of Sichuan and Chongqing who can't do without pepper bean paste, the people of Funan and Fubei who can't do without stir-fried chili peppers and chopped peppers, and the people of Wuxi who can't cook without sugar. The five flavors of the south and the north are harmonious, and the east and west are mixed throughout the north and south, and the food is passed down from one source to another. Especially in China, if you write a book based on food, and then explore the stories of the cities and people behind it, I am afraid that the number of these books will be overwhelming.

Sometimes a city's breakfast can highlight the temperament of a city, just like Wuhan, a land and water wharf that connects nine provinces. A bowl of hot dry noodles plus glutinous rice chicken with only glutinous rice and no chicken or fried noodle nest, such a breakfast would not have been able to eat such a solid breakfast if it were not for the workers at the waterway wharf who worked hard to eat enough in the morning. And this eating habit has been passed down for thousands of years with the daily routine of Wuhan people's ancestors/

The corresponding to Wuhan is Yangzhou, which was once rich in the world in the Ming and Qing dynasties. This ancient Chinese place, which was famous for its salt merchants in Yangzhou, also reveals the pomp and circumstance of salt merchants in those days. In the Chinese garden of the small bridge and rockery pavilion, come to a pot of dragon well before the rain, the so-called pre-rain tea refers to the tender tea leaves picked and fried before the rain season. Although it is not as tender as before the rain, it is still a fine tea. Some people even think that Qingming is too early, the beginning of summer is too late, and the tea before the rain is not early or late. (Note: Moderation is a word of praise)

On a plate of thinly boiled dried shreds, a plate of mixed meat, and a plate of seasonal crab roe soup dumplings, if the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake are not yet in season, then they will use shrimp soup dumplings and sanding buns to save the scene. In ancient times, when the peach blossom flood season arrived, the farmers on both sides of the Huai River were sad, for fear that the flood season would flood their farmland. The salt chamber of commerce in Yangzhou applauded at this time, because the peach blossom flowing water mandarin fish fertilizer, the peach blossom flood season is a year for the farmers on both sides of the Huai River, but for the large and small salt merchants in Yangzhou City, it is the time to eat salmon.

Tasting tea before the rain, lazily boiling dried shreds with chopsticks, waiting for the eight taels of salmon steamed over low heat to be served, watching the rolling river water chanting: the egret flies in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossom flowing water mandarin fish fat. The poor people who drowned in the flood were completely out of the eyes of the rich salt merchants.

In addition to China's culinary history, it is coincidental that an expert in the West has made a very interesting point that the decline of the Roman Empire in Western history is likely not to be just a matter of politics and foreign invasions. Because Roman aristocrats and even commoners loved to use lead utensils and containers, a large number of lead products were also used in the famous Roman aqueducts. Because in the era when there was no stainless steel, lead was a metal product that did not rust easily, and it was brilliant and luxurious. As a result, the magnificence of Roman aristocrats and citizens caused a large number of people to be poisoned by lead because of the long-term use of lead utensils, containers, drinking utensils, etc., and many strong soldiers and generals did not live to be forty years old. And the child born has a chance to be deformed. The more powerful and prosperous Rome became, the more lead they used, and the more harm it caused. Although it is a mistake to say that Rome fell because of lead products, it cannot but be said that those lead products played such a role in the history of the Roman Empire.

From a breakfast, a piece of food, or even the utensils used, we can trace the history of a civilization, the rise and fall of a civilization. What is the cause of civilization to rise, and why is civilization to fail. Thousands of years of history are all in the square inch of the three-foot stove, cooking the three rivers and five mountains, and the rise and fall of national civilization are tossing and turning between the fiery oil cooking.

And the person standing on the stove looks ordinary and has a gentle smile, but who can know that this big and small fresh is all in this spoonful of stew?

Zhang Tong smiled, looking at the raging flames in the stove, a bowl of rice has reached the stage of collecting juice from the fire. There may be people who think that they can be sword wielders, but there may be people who simply don't want the sword to be damaged......

There are too few tickets!
