Chapter 11: Fried Chicken is a Big Hit
So, your trick really worked, and in just three days, the powerful children have already ordered dinner from you?"
Wang Jian looked at Xuanyuan Mingyue and said: "I don't understand the situation of your family, but I understand human nature, if I set up a stall on the street, no matter what palace secrets and peerless delicacies I say, no one will necessarily eat them, but because of objective factors, a good person who has to take care of his mother and can't follow the old master to work in the field, has a craft in his hand and is certified, such a person will definitely be interested in the craftsmanship of this family, because what you can't get is good." ”
In fact, fried chicken is that smell, and many people can't stop wanting fried chicken, because after the chicken is coated in flour and fried at high temperature, a violent Maillard reaction will occur, and amino acids and sugars collide and recombine violently, producing hundreds of flavor compounds that hook the nerves in your nasal cavity. These hundreds of flavor compounds are what make fried chicken so addictive.
In the appropriate proportion of brine (generally 5%-7%), muscle filaments and contractile proteins are continuously dissolved, and cell fluid and brine are exchanged, which can make the chicken gain as much as 10%-15%, so that the chicken is more tender (easy to bite) and more juicy. Most people overlook the importance of brine-cured meat, noting that the brine ratio must be precise and the time must be more than one hour.
Put the marinated and floured chicken in a pan to fry, if the fried time is too short, the core temperature of the chicken is lower than 75 degrees, there will be food safety problems. Most people fry chicken at home, and they don't measure the core temperature, so they will fry it for two more minutes in order to keep it cooked. However, in the oil pan, only half a minute of frying will make the chicken from tender to old, and the precise frying time is often difficult to grasp at the beginning.
Of course, if you don't care about other people's eyes, you can eat it while walking, even if it is a little cold and the crispy texture in your mouth may be a little worse, but the chicken will not make much difference if you eat it. However, fried pork and beef are usually sold in the store as a set meal with rice and shredded cabbage, and once it cools down, it will feel tired to eat. This is probably related to the characteristics of the fat contained in various meats. The melting point of the fat in chicken is much lower than that of pigs, cattle and sheep, and even if it is cold, you can feel the fat melting in your mouth. And the fat content of chicken is also small, so you can also hint in your head that you don't gain weight so easily, in comparison. And the size of the chicken is much smaller than that of pigs, cattle and sheep, and the whole body can be fried, so there will be more selectivity. Pigs and cattle usually choose the tenderloin to fry, and before frying, they have to beat it repeatedly in order to absorb the flavor to break up the fibers in the meat, but the meat fiber of pigs, cattle and sheep itself is relatively dense, which is still quite labor-intensive and time-consuming, and it is not suitable for street shops in terms of labor costs. In the case of chicken, even the chicken breast and thigh, which are often used for chicken cutlets, have inherently loose fibers and are easier to handle. If you want to eat other parts, you just need to do a full massage, which doesn't take much effort, but it is more skillful, and if you use the right technique, the chicken is more likely to absorb the seasoned soup.
Fried chicken is a perfect example, as a human being, the pursuit is high in oil, fat and sugar, and fried food is often a subset of high-fat and high-calorie food. Because it is conducive to survival, early humans yearned for such food the most. Yearning has molecular evidence: when people get and eat high-calorie foods, the brain secretes dopamine to make them happy, and food and mood are linked.
It may be that the appeal of fried food was not widespread at first, but it was that early humans who loved fried food were more enthusiastic about cooking, so they slowly accumulated an evolutionary advantage. The benefits of cooking and its impact on human evolution can partly explain our fondness for this type of food. In conclusion, it may be the power of natural selection that shapes and solidifies our love of fried food.
People not only like puffed food, but all high-oil and high-fat foods have a physiological pursuit, thousands of years ago, our ancestors needed a lot of energy to survive, and these energy was scarce at that time, and needed to be obtained through hunting and competition, so human genes originally had a desire for high-oil and high-fat food.
The gastronomic experience is mostly related to the human taste instinct. That's the code that's engraved in our genes, and these codes instinctively push us to try to find foods that are high in calories, fat, and protein. Only in this way can mankind overcome all difficulties and dangers to get to where it is today. Not only are foods with these characteristics more satisfying, they are essential for boosting a person's immunity. Eating meat well, eating high-fat, high-protein, high-sugar ingredients is an important experience for people to survive difficulties. A bland diet does not necessarily mean balanced nutrition, and the superstition of a bland diet may make people less resistant to natural dangers.
"You're not afraid that someone will find a way to verify your identity first, and when the time comes, if you are a person in the Hou Mansion, you can know that there is no such person as you in the Mansion at all. ”
Wang Jian smiled at Xuanyuan Mingyue and said, " You keep telling me, how noble your nobles here live here, thousands of servants, simple life, a nobleman with a high status, I am afraid that there are hundreds of people in the house, do you know, how difficult it is to manage thousands of people, you know, in our place, a president who has managed hundreds of people in the World of Warcraft game often gets special care and favor from HR, this is the core of the difficulty of management, a team of thousands of people, as the master moves, someone must resign and do nothing, how to verify it in a short time?"
"So you've already figured it out. ”
"It's not good, and based on the characteristics of this world, the simplest thing is that as the main owner of social wealth, you can always get the best, and so is the food, so I bet. ”
"Are there any options. ”
"There are three people, didn't I come to ask you which of these three is the better choice. ”
"I don't know much. ”
Wang Jian continued: "One is the distant nephew of the favorite concubine, of course, there are some other backgrounds, it seems that there is a kinship among the ministers of the court and the central government, one is the youngest son of the general's family, and the other is the sacrificial family, well, it can be said that the three major forces are here, but it is a pity that it is a few small miscellaneous soldiers, do you think any of the three people have what we need." ”
"Just give it a try. ”
Theoretically speaking, the proportion of the rich second generation who are more talented than the poor second generation should be far exceeded.
The rich second generation can have the most advanced educational resources, and when you are still picking up dung balls, people can teach themselves computer programming, what is the gap?
Not to mention, the rich second generation can devote all their energy to themselves, and the poor second generation, in order to make a living, usually to apply for a certificate, it takes a huge amount of time, maybe take an afternoon off, prepare countless materials, and finally, the person who does the work will ask you to print again because the copy of your ID card is not printed together on the front and back, and all of a sudden it will be in vain.
The efforts of people in this life are all set by genes, and behind all efforts are the needs of the underlying organisms. The operating system of genes sets the general direction, and regulates and controls this shell through various biochemical hormones. You think that "you" are in control, in fact, "you" are not controlled in the general direction? Therefore, there is no need to ask "why do people work hard in their lives", because if you don't work hard, you will be uncomfortable, just like a single dog sees a beautiful woman in the show of affection and sprinkled dog food, it is uncomfortable, and it wants to work hard, and then find a good-looking girlfriend. For example, if you are killed by the opponent in the game with a lot of experience and a high level, you want to work hard, practice a high level, and find good equipment, so that you can kill others without being killed by others. You say, can you control yourself from trying in these areas? It's all a natural reaction of living things.
If you work hard, or you get some "experience rewards" like "satiety" in simple terms, or "happiness" or "sense of achievement" in more complex ways, in fact, behind these things are just biochemical reactions and electrical signals, which are the carrots that this body brings to self-consciousness, and these carrots are very effective. On the contrary, if you don't work hard, your biochemical reaction may be the experience of "feeling nothing" and "feeling inferior". In this setting, if you can control yourself not to work hard at all, you are awesome, in fact, everyone is working hard more or less, but some people are working on a huge cause, while some people are just trying to eat tonight, and others are trying to move up the level in mobile games, and their performance is different.
Of course, you have to ask if there are any people who don't work hard? Of course there are. In fact, the reason for not working hard is also traceable at the bottom. In fact, most of the people who don't work hard have several characteristics, one of which is that the demand is not rigid, that is, I already have a thing, and I already have this experience, so I won't spend too much energy to get it, and the other person has not had it, of course, I am more motivated, so I don't work hard. The second is due to a cost mismatch. This is very simple, that is, I think this thing is worth 1 hour for me to get, and you let me spend 100 hours, of course I don't want to work in this direction. The third is out of uncertainty of access. That is, even if you do it, you may not get anything, this is very troublesome, then, in self-protection, you will tend not to do it, for animals, laziness is also a strategy (it can save energy, for humans everyone can eat enough is only a matter of the last few decades). The fourth is due to the long payback period. It's like if you let a first-grade child study hard, so that he can be admitted to Tsinghua University after 12 years, he will ignore you completely, it's too far, right, it's not as good as playing a game of glory in front of you. You said that it is not cool to take the top prize in Tsinghua University, it must be cool, it is more cool than playing the glory of kings, but that is too far, this is the problem. In general, the underlying animal nature often lacks long-term judgment, is limited to the short term, and will decide things very shrewdly in an instant, which is the reason for the phenomenon of "no effort". However, once there are short-term practical benefits with high certainty, no animal will "not work hard".
The shallow meaning of hard work has been said, that is, to make yourself cool and feel good. And if you want a deeper meaning, unfortunately this question cannot be answered, because the deeper question behind this question is whether the subject of self-conscious experience is bound to "life" or whether there is a wider world.
Strive to bring yourself closer to the truth. Things in the world are very mysterious. Originally, you are capable, smart, and open-minded, but you just don't want to work hard, your values are that so many people in this world get for nothing, why should I work hard? But I have seen so many people's lives to tell you this, as long as the owner I know is constantly working hard (I hope to rely on myself), even if I get the wrong position at the beginning, the more I get to the back, the easier it is to get closer to my best position. Chance will be arranged for her. And there is no such person who does not work hard, such a person will deviate more and more from the truth, because he is only consumed and useless to the world, then God will not care about him, and this kind of person may also affect his family and friends. There is a lot of karma, and it is impossible to have good chances. Working hard does not mean that you can't do it yourself, but you have to establish one point: don't take shortcuts, rely on yourself. It's good to have this heart and strive to pursue the truth and put yourself in place. Everyone has their own place, and some people just miss it when they are young, and then they live like this for the rest of their lives. Not predestined. It all depends on when you wake up
Everything always tends to be disorderly, chaotic (entropy) ...... However, order produces nature, life, human beings, and civilization are all products of order, and orderly superposition means that effective energy is continuously concentrated, and an orderly, functionally clear organizational structure can effectively concentrate energy to complete the energy output in a specific direction, and the transformation disordered, scattered, and chaotic structure will only lead to the continuous dissipation of energy in the structure under the general trend of entropy increase, and each part is different from each other and cooperates with each other to form a larger low moisture body... And then form a larger system... After a system becomes an orderly low-entropy functional body, in order to maintain its own existence, it will continue to absorb energy from its surroundings, which is an inevitable requirement for all low-entropy bodies to maintain its existence. In the end, the different parts of the larger system are homogenized and lose their original functions... Eventually, a larger range of low-entropy bodies will naturally fall into disorder and chaos (entropy increase) All human activities can be divided into two types: order or disorder, disorder is a natural trend, and order requires a lot of effort to build... All activities that lead to de-functioning tend to be disorderly, and everything that directly acts on the construction of functional structures is order, from individuals to organizations, from countries to civilizations, as low-entropy bodies, the pursuit of order can maintain existence, better and longer-term existence... For people, slowly sliding to disorder is to be comfortable as they like, and to build order, they need to accept all kinds of stimuli, whether from social attributes or biological attributes, people are not single, but only tend to order. In the superposition of hundreds of millions of years of accidental order, life has been established in countless delicate balances between disorder and order, and the sharp pain makes people feel the existence of life, and comfort and comfort blur the boundaries between life and death. Racking your brains to remember, and forgetting without thinking.
