"Xiaobei's sister." Faith watched as Fang Menan sat up straight, "Uh...... With your cooking skills, I will definitely visit a real Chinese restaurant every day. He exclaimed, "Ah! Don't laugh, I'm serious. ”

After a meal, Fang Monan received a loyal follower.

"Feith, don't worry about it, Dr. Fang would have opened a restaurant a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to China." Theseus raised an eyebrow and said.

"So! I'll just talk about it. Faith shrugged and said, "Actually, Dr. Fang doesn't have to be in charge of the kitchen!" If you have money, you're afraid that you won't be able to hire a chef! ”

"If my sister opened Chinese restaurants all over the world, haha...... I'll be happy. "Western fast food culture is the product of the 'Ford production method' of the 'large-scale standardized assembly line' in the United States, and it is a kind of 'industrial diet'. Compared with traditional Chinese diets, the 'industrialization of food' has caused systemic harm to human health, the environment and society. ”

"Sister, you don't want me to become a garbage recycling bin!" Mo Bei said pitifully.

"Industrial diet?" Grandma asked suspiciously.

"I've visited McDonald's farms, where they raise a lot of animals in a limited space, and if you don't take measures, infectious diseases can spread. Pesticides and antibiotics are used to prevent the spread of diseases, which are ingested by animals and then eaten by those who eat them, causing great harm to human health.

Anyway, once I've seen it, I won't eat McDonald's anymore. Hughes pouted in disgust, "We'd rather make our own food." ”

"That's right! McDonald's is just a cheap fast-food restaurant in the United States. When it came to China, it became a high-end product, and it was expensive to buy! Sister, if you always make a move, let them see what food is, and change the decline of Chinese food, and then say that they enjoy a fast lifestyle, let's let them see what is slow life and what is enjoyment! Mo Beili flattered.

Dad Fang smiled, "Anyway, Xiaobei's proposal is good, slow life." ”

Fang Monan looked at Mo Bei in surprise, slow life. Back in 1986. Italian journalist Carlo. Petrini launched the "Slow Food Movement". "The fast-paced life of the city is distorting our lives and the environment in the name of productivity, and we must start by eating slowly and rebel against the fast-paced life," he declared.

After that, the "slow food" trend began to sweep the world from Europe. And from this, a series of "slow life" ways have been developed. To remind people living in an era of rapid development: please slow down. Be mindful of the beauty around you.

"Slow life" is not grinding, let alone laziness, but letting the indicators of speed "retreat". Make life detailed. This is another way of life compared to the hurried and fast-paced life of the current society, and the "slow" here is a kind of artistic conception, a kind of artistic conception that returns to nature, relaxed and harmonious.

Fang Monan looked at Mo Bei with some apologies, maybe it was the relationship she had fostered, so Mo Bei was like a clockwork top, spinning quickly and turning non-stop.

As if sensing what Fang Mo Nan was thinking, Mo Bei held her hand back, "Sister, don't think nonsense." She winked playfully and said, "Sister, I'm waiting for you to satisfy my stomach!" ”

Fang Mo Nan smiled, she was just an external factor, and the final choice was in Mo Bei's hands, this stupid sister!

"What are you sisters doing?" Fang's mother looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"Oh! It's nothing? Mo Bei shook his head and smiled. Sister, think about it! Mo Bei said, shaking her arm.

Others also agree with Fang Menan's cooking skills, which is obvious to all.

Old Man Lin pointed at them and scolded with a smile, "You foodies! His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Chinese restaurants have become a bottleneck in the promotion of Chinese food." Old overseas Chinese all know that there is a saying of "three knives" -- kitchen knives, scissors, and razors, which are the three major tools brought by the early Chinese immigrants. Chinese food is accompanied by the overseas footprint of the Chinese 'expansion' step by step.

However, now that there is a fever for going abroad, when those students can study abroad, many people are 'cramming Buddha's feet temporarily' and hurriedly go to restaurants to learn art before going abroad, because there is a popular saying overseas -- if you memorize a Chinese fried spoon, you can travel all over the world. As a foreign population, Chinese food can easily become a way to make a living due to many language and cultural barriers. Therefore, taking the route of low-cost small restaurants has lowered the level of Chinese food at the beginning, giving people a fixed impression of cheapness! But Chinese fast food does not mean Chinese food. ”

This Fang Monan has a deep understanding that "opening Chinese restaurants" is regarded as a means of supporting their families by overseas Chinese, so that there has always been fierce vicious competition between Chinese restaurants, which not only makes Chinese food a cheap food, but also makes the "cultural taste" of Chinese food almost lost. For example, Chinese food is synonymous with cheap lunches in the UK, and for the money of a single McDonald's meal, you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet in London's Chinatown.

At the beginning, she was not less in foreign countries, serving dishes, washing dishes, and stealing teachers, just like her grandfather said, there are not many chefs with really high-level cooking skills.

And the real place where she learned was the local high-end Chinese restaurant, which stuck to the traditional cooking methods.

Old Man Lin folded his hands, put them on his lower abdomen, and said slowly. "Before the 19th century, China was the 'center of the world's table'.

Chinese food, along with French and Turkish cuisine, is one of the top three cuisines in the world; Chinese food is the top of the three major cuisines.

The reason for this is not because of the efforts of local 'chefs' for generations to try to make delicious products, but because until the early 19th century, we were the most open and inclusive economic center in the world. Historically, during the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and early Qing dynasties, we were the center of the world economy, and the openness and inclusiveness of Han culture made us the center of world trade.

As a result, rice from the south, weeds, millet and soybeans from the north, wheat and noodle-making technology from the Western Regions, chili peppers from Central and South America, etc., all converged in China with merchants and officials from the north and south, which made Chinese cuisine adopt the food culture of many other ethnic groups. In most countries around the world, whoever eats Chinese food will not feel out of the way. What's even more interesting is that because we used to be the center of the global economy, we had to welcome businessmen and officials from all over the world, so in the Han Dynasty, there was the world's first 'dining out culture' and the earliest 'restaurant'. ”

"It seems that not only Chinese people love Chinese food, but also in the history of the world, Chinese food used to be the center of the world's table!" Fang's father smiled and said, "Nannan, this is the foundation!" ”

Fang Monan held his chin in his hand, smiled without saying a word, eating all over the world to see the economy, the old man has a lot of experience!

Old Man Lin changed his words, and the quaint voice sounded again, "And now, when France, Japan, and even South Korea are ambitious to build food soft power, most of the Chinese food is promoted step by step by small restaurants run by Chinese, so that many foreigners' impression of Chinese restaurants is cheap and noisy.

In today's world, countries have built soft power, music, film and television, and sports competitions are part of the soft power that many countries are trying to create, but all of them are not worth mentioning compared to the ancient and solid channel that leads to the depths of the soul and goes directly to the human stomach -- food, and for China, 'there is nothing more Chinese than Chinese food'. ”

"Well said!" Dad Fang exclaimed excitedly.

Fang Monan gave a thumbs up.

Mr. Lin continued, "When it comes to Chinese food, many foreigners are full of fascination. As early as 1919, the famous Japanese novelist Junichiro Tanizaki published an essay entitled "Chinese Cuisine" in the "Osaka Asahi Shimbun", saying, "I have always loved Chinese food since I was a child. Nowadays, the top political circles of Little Japan are also fond of "Chinese cuisine". Many dignitaries also like to eat Chinese food!

Although many people have never been to China, they like to go to the local Chinatown for a turn, sit in the Chinatown, watch the Chinese people who are sent to China, listen to the Chinese music on the street, and use chopsticks to hold the food on the plate, which can be regarded as truly enjoying Chinese food.

Like the giant panda, Chinese food is regarded by foreigners as a symbol of China, and it embodies the cultural appeal of China's soft power, and Chinese food has always been China's most successful cultural export. ”

In later generations, immigrants poured in, forming many Chinese gathering areas, and even Americans exclaimed: Chinese food is a part of the life of many people in the United States and a popular enjoyment, and many Americans also use chopsticks.

Indian Ah San said enviously: Chinese food has always been the most successful cultural export. According to a survey, for the first time in the UK, Chinese food has overtaken Indian cuisine, which has always dominated the world, to become the new favorite of British diners.

Although it is lively, it still can't be changed, and Chinese food abroad is very foreign reality.

Mr. Lin continued, "The cultural differences between the East and the West have a great impact on Chinese restaurants. ”

Hughes nodded in agreement, "Chinese food is lively, Western food is dull; If I walk into a Chinese restaurant and find it silent, I feel as if something is going to happen, just like when we walk into a Western restaurant and find it noisy. ”

Faith chimed in, "You like to be boisterous, but it's too noisy for us to talk about."

In a Chinese restaurant, you can only choose a private room, while New York's financial predators usually meet in the lobby of the restaurant to talk about transactions, and they can choose a corner where everyone can see them but must not hear them whispering. ”

Mo Bei suddenly remembered something and smiled, "In a Chinese restaurant, when I see the dishes ordered by foreigners, whoever orders them will eat them alone in front of them, and if others want to taste them, they must stretch out and fork a little, and then use the fork to toss the crystal fans, and I immediately feel that the black lines are all over my face." Aside from these, the taste of the food, even I, who have suffered from Western food, can't say that it is delicious with my conscience......"

"Grandma, my stomach is really tortured!" Mobei played the sad card.

"Oops! My good grandson, your sister won't open it, grandma and I will do it. Grandma hugged Mobei and said proudly. (To be continued......)
