965. Meat and vegetable matching
Huang Xiaochu took Xiao Ling to busy five meals, and Zhou Fangyuan and Teacher He began to clean up the yard.
In fact, there is nothing to clean up, nothing more than sweeping the floor, packing up things, and putting back what needs to be put in place, and then the two of them have to leave the small courtyard and go to the town where they came, selling some necessities. What necessities? Mainly toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, etc., these things need to be purchased by the guests themselves.
Anyone who has watched this show should know it, but on the basis of the original, it has now increased some difficulty.
What does that mean?
Huang Xiaochu, Teacher He, plus a young man, especially in the first season, is the host lineup of three people. In the show, they "live" in this mushroom house, and all the daily expenses are provided by the program team. Then there are guests coming, the guests will order, if it is the ingredients that are available in the mushroom house and vegetable field, they will be used directly, if there are none, they need to buy it with the program team, or simply go out and buy it directly. When you buy it, you need to spend money, and the program team will provide a fund at the beginning, and after a quarter, if there is still money left, it is naturally the best. But what if you owe money? Then you have to find a way to make money and pay it back.
Nowadays, not only the ingredients need to cost money, but even the daily necessities must be deducted from the funds provided by the program team.
The difficulty has already increased, and today Zhou Fangyuan jumped over the wall with a Buddha, almost knocking down half a season's funds, which directly caused the three "aborigines" of the mushroom house to fall into a state of shortage of funds.
But there is no way, the shortage of funds is a shortage of funds, and the things that should be bought still have to be bought.
Because Xiao Ling wanted to give Huang Xiaochu a hand, the job function of buying things was handed over to Mr. Huang.
"You've really caused us a big problem today. ”
On the way to leave the mushroom house and walk towards the town, Teacher He said with a wry smile.
Zhou Fangyuan nodded with a smile, "Isn't this just a test of your level?"
"You're embarrassed to say," Teacher He glanced at Zhou Fangyuan, "You don't have to be a resident show, right, it's quite difficult, and you continue to increase the difficulty for us, I can tell you, if we can't afford to change the money we owe when the show ends, I'll have to let you pay us at that time." ”
"Hahahaha, what do you think, I don't care about these things, who let you participate in the show anyway?"
Zhou Fangyuan laughed, deliberately angry with Teacher He.
Teacher He's face was really angry, and in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly.
The two entered the town, because they had already greeted each other in advance, and the residents of the town also knew that there was a program group here, so their group was not surrounded by groups, at most someone was quietly looking at it from a distance.
When they went to the only supermarket of a certain size in the town, they bought toilet paper, soap, toothbrushes. Originally, he didn't plan to buy it for Zhou Fangyuan, but Zhou Fangyuan said that he didn't bring anything when he came, and if he didn't buy it for himself, he would rob them when the time came. In the end, Mr. He had no choice but to buy a set for Zhou Fangyuan.
Zhou Fangyuan's character in the show today is a troublemaker, all kinds of money, and deliberately making trouble for Mr. He, so he is so happy, and he is not ashamed at all when he makes a request.
On the way back, they bought a local chicken, bought some spices, and the two of them carried three large bags, and they began to gasp when they walked, and then they returned to the mushroom house.
Huang Xiaochu continued to work on his side, Zhou Fangyuan and they returned to the yard after sending the things in, Teacher He expressed the hope that Zhou Fangyuan could do some farm work with him or something, but Zhou Fangyuan decisively refused.
"Don't even think about it, I'm definitely not going to help. ”
Zhou Fangyuan collapsed directly on the huge mat in the courtyard, looking like a big man enjoying life, hating Teacher He so much that he grinded his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about him.
In the end, Mr. He didn't bother to do it himself, and the two lay together, separated by a small coffee table, and actually chatted.
Xiao Ling, who occasionally came out of the back room, saw the lazy and lazy appearance of these two big guys, and directly froze in place, and his stupid expression made Zhou Fangyuan and Teacher He laugh.
The morning passed quickly.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Xiaochu was finally about to finish the Buddha jumping over the wall, and Zhou Fangyuan also got up from the mat.
"Don't say I don't care about anything, I'm cooking you a dish today, which can be regarded as a way to express my gratitude. ”
Zhou Fangyuan stretched his arms and sleeves with a serious expression.
"It turned out to be our money. ”
Teacher He complained ruthlessly.
"Do you really know how to cook? Don't be blind at that time, if you can't do it, don't do it, you will be in trouble if you eat it and your stomach will be ruined." ”
Before, Zhou Fangyuan said that he didn't start anything, but now he suddenly took the initiative to ask for it, and anyone would mumble about it, which is normal.
What's more, if you follow the normal understanding of ordinary people, a big boss of Zhou Fangyuan's level can't be said to be ten fingers that don't touch the spring water, but basically few can cook. Of course, this is like the emperor's golden rice bowl, the daily life of the big bosses, people who don't know can only guess, whether they cook at home or not, how many people know? It can only be said that it is based on the understanding and speculation of most ordinary people, and then measured.
So when Zhou Fangyuan said that he wanted to help cook, Mr. He was a little surprised, because he didn't know Zhou Fangyuan's level, of course, he said that there was still a funny situation in it, variety shows are not documentaries after all, and what Zhou Fangyuan did was really not delicious at that time, and everyone could deal with the past.
"Of course I will, no, Lao He, what kind of person am I in your eyes, please, I'm also an ordinary person, and it's normal for me to cook something delicious occasionally." ”
Zhou Fangyuan said as he began to wash the cucumbers and tomatoes very skillfully.
"Don't you mind, I'm just curious, a big boss like you, the chairman's, you really know how to cook?"
"No matter how big the boss is, I'm an ordinary person, and I'm not born with special money in the family, I've talked to you before, in fact, before I went to high school, my family was an ordinary family, at that time my parents were working in the factory, left in the morning, and came back at night, sometimes I would leave some food at noon, and sometimes I had to work by myself. Sometimes, I would take the initiative to cook something at dinner, so that my parents would deliberately rest and rest when they came back. I don't dare to say how good my skills are, and I must be much worse than Mr. Huang, but I can still make ordinary home-cooked food or something. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said as he put the washed vegetables into the bamboo strips, then brought them to the stone platform in the courtyard, put the chopping board, copied the knife in his right hand, and began to cut the vegetables aggressively.
The camera immediately gives a close-up shot.
It can be seen that Zhou Fangyuan's knife skills can only be said to be average, and it is indeed not comparable to chefs, even compared with most cooking enthusiasts. But it can also be seen that he is indeed proficient in price comparison, not just talking, in terms of the level of home cooking, it is definitely enough.
Mr. Huang prepared two dishes, one is the Buddha jumping over the wall, and the other is stir-fried oil and wheat vegetables. Zhou Fangyuan got two cold dishes here, one is to shoot cucumbers, and the other is to cover the top of the snow mountain (tomatoes sprinkled with sugar).
Except for the Buddha jumping over the wall, it's not a hard dish, but then again, the temperature at this time is really not low. When they eat, they eat on mats in the courtyard, which extend upwards around them to form a roof, which together form a pergola. Sitting in the pergola and eating is still sweating profusely, if you really want to get a table of hot dishes, I guess everyone will not have the appetite to eat. Now it's so good, although the Buddha jumping over the wall is stewed with a variety of cherished ingredients, there are some more greasy raw materials in it, but the finished product itself is not greasy, plus the refreshing green vegetables, in the hot summer to eat a bite, feel the whole person can be a lot more comfortable.
This is really the life that Chinese people yearn for.
Harvest without ploughing, live without building. The idyllic dream of the Chinese people is a kind of scholar aesthetic with beautiful fantasies. To put it bluntly, the Chinese people are willing to get close to a hands-free idyllic beauty. The original purpose of this program was to do just that, and a column group spent at least half a year or more to harvest corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in large fields...... Working at sunrise and living at sunset, isn't this the life that Chinese people yearn for?
Such a setting not only achieves the production possibility of TV programs, but also satisfies the aesthetic tendencies of most urban audiences. So if you let go of the deep respect for "labor", the aesthetics of this show meet the aesthetic preferences of most of the audience from the bones.
As for the show in the previous life, it became very popular, and it had to be linked to current events. After all, at the time, what a phenomenal reality show needed was an anxiety projection and social conversations. Marriage and love, children's education, conflict of values, moral conflict, wealth story, this is more like the success gene of a TV program at a certain stage that has become a phenomenal program. This has nothing to do with the quality of the program's production, but the anxiety and gossip from the depths of the audience's heart, and is a concentrated reflection of the rapidly divergent values of the rapidly advancing modern society. However, in the previous life, there were too many similar programs, emotional, chat, documentary, news, and public aesthetics were tired, but when a certain attribute appeared too much on the screen, the audience would feel bored and disgusted, so they would choose relatively fresher programs and change their tastes.
In fact, this point is the same now, the rhythm of being worn by the distant media, now all kinds of domestic talent show variety shows, all kinds of "where to go" variety shows, one or two are okay to say, but if famous satellite TV does similar programs, can the audience still stand it? So you don't have to think about it to know that as long as "Longing" doesn't die, it is basically invincible.
Besides, in today's meal, only one Buddha jumped over the wall is considered a meat dish, and the other three are vegetarian dishes, and they are all vegetarian dishes that are very close to the lives of ordinary people, which is also a choice to conform to the living habits of Chinese people.
Vegetarianism has always been an essential food in our lives.
The vegetarian diet of the Orient is generally believed to have originated in India. For religious reasons, India is a vegetarian country, and strict Hindus have been vegetarian for 2,000 years. Until now, the diet of Indians has been based on vegetarianism.
In China, many ancient philosophers believed that vegetarian food could cultivate one's body and prolong one's life. In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, Buddhism was introduced from India to China, although Buddhism in India only requires abstinence from killing, not vegetarianism, but Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu issued a decree prohibiting monks and nuns from eating meat, and Buddhism became a vegetarian religion in China. Buddhism has made vegetarianism widely spread among the people. After several dynasties, Chinese vegetarian cooking skills reached a very high level.
In addition, according to historical records, the ancient Fuso people ate cereals, beans, vegetables, and a small amount of fish and shellfish as food, and almost did not eat poultry and animal meat, and after Buddhism was introduced to Fuso, hunting and fishing also became taboo. Emperor Fuso even issued a decree banning the consumption of fish and shellfish, and although the consumption of fish and shellfish was recognized decades later, it was about 130 years ago that the people of Fuso actually began to eat meat.
Compared with the East, Westerners are actually more inclined to eat meat.
But it does not mean that people in the West do not eat vegetarian food, which originated in the Mediterranean region. Many wise men in ancient Greece advocated vegetarianism, and Pythagoras was probably the first vegetarian, so before the English word "Vegetarian" was coined in 1847, people who did not eat meat were often referred to as Pythagorean believers or followers. Centuries ago, some religious denominations and spiritual groups in the West also began to advocate vegetarianism, and the real landmark event was the birth of the first vegetarian society in Manchester, England in 1847, and since then, the vegetarian movement has also become popular in other Western countries, and most Western countries have established their own vegetarian societies.
In 1908, the International Vegetarian Union (IVU) was born, which played an important role in the promotion of vegetarianism in countries around the world. IVU hosts the World Vegetarian Congress every few years, and it has been held 36 times so far.
The focus on health, ethics and the environment has always been a major contributor to the development of vegetarianism. In the late twentieth century, a number of far-reaching writings appeared that explored the benefits of vegetarianism for the whole of mankind, including promoting health, conserving resources, protecting the environment, improving animal welfare, and reducing poverty, which made vegetarianism popular in the West. It is worth mentioning that some of the writings have revealed the tragic treatment of animals in real society, which has inspired people to think about the rights of animals and the relationship between animals and humans from an ethical perspective, and many people have chosen vegetarian diets because of this.
According to the survey, the number of vegetarians in Britain has reached 4 million, accounting for 7 percent of the total population, and more than 12 million vegetarians in the United Kingdom, accounting for about 5 percent of the total population. Among them are some professional athletes. Countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Spain also have a high percentage of vegetarians.
In short, it is right to eat more vegetarian food, or to say that a healthy diet should be a combination of meat and vegetables, but in contrast, the stomach of the Chinese people, as well as the whole body, has a higher degree of acceptance of vegetarian food, on the contrary, if you simply eat a lot of meat, it will cause various discomforts in the body. So today, Zhou Fangyuan's meal is really in line with the standards of the Chinese people, and it is called a cool one to eat!
