Chapter 869 (Asking for Votes!!) )
"Sister, it's not enough to eat! Not full! Mo Bei touched his flat belly and looked pitifully at the empty plate and said.
"I've got it for you!" Fang Monan got up and brought it up.
"Wow! Roast suckling pig! The fat man exclaimed. Boss, you're so bad! We're all fed. ”
The color is ruddy, smooth as a mirror, the oil is bright, and it exudes an attractive fragrance, but unfortunately it is impossible to eat.
Old Man Lin said with a smile, "Roast suckling pig is a big dish, suitable for large groups or high-end formal banquets, and its status is equivalent to bird's nest shark fin, and it is definitely qualified as the main dish." ”
"Thank you, sister!" Mo Bei smiled happily, this was specially made for her.
"I remember." Faith exclaimed, "This is the most conspicuous place to worship the gods at the opening ceremony of Chinatown!" ”
Old Man Lin smiled, "More than that! Roast suckling pig is the highlight of Lingnan people's ancestor worship for many years, almost every family is indispensable to the festival, after sacrificing the ancestors with suckling pig, relatives gather to eat.
Before the Qingming Festival, hotels and hotels all over Lingnan have taken the roast suckling pig as a major signboard for the sale of Qingming sacrifices, and advertised at the gate. The suckling pig was roasted brown, which was the most tempting sacrifice in the ancestor worship ceremony.
During the Qingming Festival, a well-known restaurant can sell hundreds of roast pigs, and each suckling pig generally weighs about 2 kg to 5 kg. At this time of the year, pig farms around the country have piglets specially provided to various restaurants to make roast pigs. ”
"That's right! I have seen it in Hong Kong dramas. Grandma smiled.
When it comes to eating, Fang Monan is the head of the road. As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Jia Siqian had recorded roast suckling pig as an important culinary technical achievement in "Qi Min Yaoshu". He wrote: 'The color is like amber, and it is like real gold, and it disappears when it is entered, it is as strong as snow, and it is moist with slurry, and it is extraordinary. More than 1,400 years ago, our country's culinary skills were so profound that the world was amazed. ”
"Wow......" Firth exclaimed, "our ancestors were still drinking blood!" But this is one of the essences of Western food! ”
Everyone smiled and laughed in understanding. Fried steak with blood. Fez, no matter what he says, is a foreigner! It's everyone who wants to save face! Understandable.
Old Man Lin said with a smile, "During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, roast suckling pig was a famous dish in the palace and became a major dish in the 'Manchu and Han Banquets'. With the prevalence of 'Manchu and Han full seats'. Roast suckling pig has spread all over the country. In Yangcheng. Roast suckling pig has been popular in the restaurant industry for a long time. Loved by diners.
Made with suckling pig as the main ingredient, it should be regarded as 'spring and white snow' in the old Beijing cuisine, and it is a famous dish eaten by the rich and wealthy gentry in the palace when they feast and drink. Later, it spread to various places. It is also the most famous specialty dish in Yangcheng, and this dish is a must-have in the well-known Lingnan barbecue. ”
"No matter how full we eat, we also want to try this famous dish, not to be missed." Hughes quickly re-copied what he had put down.
Even if they are well-fed, the others are not far behind, and they have to eat two bites anyway.
"Hmmm! It's delicious! The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, fragrant but not greasy. ”
It's a pity that no matter how delicious it is, everyone only has two chopsticks, and they can't eat it.
Ni Baohong shouted, "No, no, Nan girl, we must have a good time doing it another day." ”
"No problem!" Fang Menan replied with a smile.
Fang Monan made enough of those four dishes, so everyone was full, but these portions were not enough for Xiaobei.
Mobei eats a lot because of the reason for practicing martial arts, if there is not enough meat to replenish energy, the body will lose money sooner or later, as the so-called poor and rich martial arts, it is not unreasonable.
Martial arts practice is not something that can be done with a hot brain, the family has to be able to afford it!
In ancient times, if you wanted to practice real kung fu, you had to endure great hardships, endure great labor, travel all over the world, and visit famous teachers. Competing with others is inevitable. Their physical strength, travel expenses, medicine, equipment, and friendship all need silver.
It can be said that the ancient real martial arts will never be like the lucky protagonist in the novel, the protagonist gets the master's skills, cheats, elixirs, etc., and it is impossible to change from a mediocre hand to a peerless master in a few months or even a cup of tea.
Superb skills are all exchanged for time, sweat, and blood. I don't think about the danger in martial arts novels, a mountain villa dies at every turn, and a master kills people like ants twisting to death.
And "poor literature", rich people practice martial arts for fitness and self-defense. The poor study is to get rid of poverty, the physical exertion is small, and the books are not expensive. If you practice martial arts well, you can make money, but the poor can't afford to hurt them.
The boxer also likes to teach some students with good family background and character. Such a student respects his teacher and has the ability to honor his master, and he will not become a gangster after his success.
The boxers of the poor families do not like to teach, the poor do not make money to support their families, and they have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to earn money after practicing martial arts. What's more, once some poor people have the ability, they are easily attracted by lustful dogs and horses, rob homes and houses, do evil, and ruin the reputation of their masters and sects.
Thousands of years of peasant uprisings have proved this, so chivalry is forbidden by force! The imperial court always strictly pursues the people in the rivers and lakes, so although the people on the rivers and lakes come and go freely, they do not move the people in the official government, which is an iron law for thousands of years.
Well! The topic is back, so don't look at the roast suckling pig on the table that weighs seven or eight pounds, for those who practice martial arts, eating it is no longer a problem.
Not to mention a few catties of meat per meal, even a meal of more than ten catties of meat is not much, and the real martial artists eat a lot. In modern times, many martial arts masters have eaten a lot, which shows the importance of martial arts supplements.
And only if she has practiced kung fu thoroughly, like Fang Monan, she will slowly reduce the amount of food, but as a foodie, she has boundless temptation and ability, of course, to satisfy her appetite.
Mobei itself is the time to grow his body, and with the addition of cultivation, this amount of food is naturally large.
"Sister, the topic just now is very interesting, the world economy of food, I haven't finished talking yet!" Mobei asked, eating a roast suckling pig.
The most important thing is that she is the only one, and others are so embarrassed to look at it, so they have to divert their attention and don't keep an eye on her!
"Oh!" Fang Menan said with a smile, "Britain not only defeated Spain with its agricultural economy, but also laid the foundation for its world domination by investing in crops in its colonies; The U.S. economy is based on food-growing originators; France conquered the world with its refined food culture; What was once the richest and most diverse Asian food structure and culture; Lag. Indicates the economic center of the world, turning from east to west. ”
Fang Monan said helplessly, "The independence of the United States also started because of the black tea in the diet, and after independence, it first appeared on the stage of the world economy as an agricultural power." If Britain used food as a resource and successfully operated plantations in the colonies, it also created a modern capitalist system and a financial system.
The United States, on the other hand, has further promoted the scale and efficiency of food production. The Ford-style production method was introduced into the field of food production and promoted the industrialization of food, which has evolved into food additives, genetically modified foods and fast food.
The United States has created fast food represented by hamburgers, Coca-Cola for the masses, mechanized and large-scale poultry and livestock, and retail institutions for bulk items such as self-selected supermarkets and 24-hour convenience stores. Just like selling cars, the U.S. sells fast burgers to the world. But fast food dulls people's sense of eating and slows down food culture. The food is single and not nutritious, let alone colorful.
Are the fat people in the United States increasing year by year over the years! ”
Faith and Hughes nodded thoughtfully, "It's true, there are more obese people!" Faith said with narrowed eyes.
"High calorie, high fat, and no exercise, can you not be fat!" Fang Menan continued, "We always say that prosperity is blessing, and prosperity is blessing; I like to be a little fatter. But we also have a saying: it's hard to buy old and thin.
Obesity is not a blessing, but a curse. Too fat, bulky, at least difficult to move; increased cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation; It brings all kinds of fatal diseases and even causes premature death. Among them, obesity is the most harmful can lead to a series of serious complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, malignant tumors, etc., these diseases are the main killers of human health. ”
"It's terrifying!" Feith's eyes widened as he watched his lower and bulging lower abdomen more and more uneasily.
Eva squinted at him and chuckled, "Yes! It's really time to lose weight. ”
"Oops! Eva cares so much about me! I'm so impressed! Faith exaggeratedly said, "Eva, don't worry, for the sake of our happy life in the future, I will definitely exercise." ”
"Hmph......" Eva snorted coldly, realizing that she had been taken advantage of by him, and simply remained silent, but there was a dead hand under her feet, and thick leather boots stepped on his toes.
Faith tried his best to pretend that nothing happened! He also looked at Eva with a flattering face.
Fang Monan pursed his lips and snickered, although it happened under the dining table, it couldn't escape her sharp eyes.
Fang Monan put his hand to his mouth, coughed a little, and said with a smile, "It is such an unhealthy 'fast food culture', which is spreading at a high speed all over the world, including Huaxia, today, and the deep reason behind it is because the economy of Western countries led by the United States is strong today!" In order to expand their trade, Westerners even did not hesitate to use strong ships and cannons, and at the same time, they also introduced to the world their fast food, which only regarded 'eating' as a means of subsistence and trade, rather than 'culture'. Therefore, the popularity of 'McDonald's in the world' is more because of the economic conquest of the East by the West, the most powerful West in the world, represented by 'McDonald's'.
If the world is dominated by the 'unpalatable and unhealthy' diet of the Anglo-Saxon nation, not only will people be less happy, but they will not even have a future. Isn't that too pessimistic? The good thing is that the world is changing. Because the center of the world economy is still in a process of dynamic change, the way of 'eating' is always changing. (To be continued......)
