Fang Monan neatly made two hot dishes with salmon.

At lunchtime, everyone sat together, and most of the people were divided into two tables, but the dishes were the same, not each other.

In addition to the salmon made by Fang Monan, the rest is the steamed bowl that is often eaten during the Chinese New Year. After these things are fried, they are steamed over a fire and poured with soup.

Small crispy meat steamed bowl, meatball steamed bowl, yellow braised chicken steamed bowl, yellow braised hairtail fish steamed bowl, fermented bean curd meat, steamed pork ribs, as well as vegetarian lotus vegetables, tofu, vegetarian meatballs, etc.

Fang Menan is still afraid that Faith and Eva will not be able to use chopsticks! I didn't expect the two of them to use the double hemp slip! Clip the balls one by one.

"It smells so good!" Faith said. "It's very fragrant and delicious, and the taste is not ordinary!"

"Of course, this is authentic Chinese food, not improved! The whole four different Chinese food! Fang Monan said, "You're welcome, let's eat together!" ”

"Doctor Fang, you eat this salmon hot!" Hughes said, pointing to a bright red plate.

"Don't worry, it's just spicy, but it's actually just slightly spicy! This is the method of boiling beef and fish in Sichuan cuisine, the ingredients are green bamboo shoots and salmon, cooking with dried chili peppers, sprinkled with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and making spicy boiled salmon. Fang Monan briefly introduced.

Old Man Lin smiled, "It's rare! Salmon is a cold-water deep-sea fish that dies as soon as it leaves the water, so most of them are chilled and will change color when it is hot, so there are few hot dishes of salmon in Western and Japanese food. ”

"That's right! That's right! How do you do it, the color of the fish doesn't change. Ni Baohong raised her eyebrows and asked. I didn't forget to hold a chopstick dish in my hand and put it in a small bowl.

"Chinese food is mainly hot, and this dish is slow-cooked at a low temperature, which not only does not discolor, but also maintains its tenderness and nutritional value to the greatest extent. Boiling for a long time at a temperature of thirty or forty degrees Celsius is also a compromise method, and it can be sterilized without compromising the deliciousness. Fang Monan briefly explained the cooking method.

"Huh! This is full of Beijing flavor! Ni Baohong ate another salmon course, "Hmm! It's actually a candy roll. ”

"Second Brother Ni, this tongue, admire!" Fang Monan arched.

"Hee-hee...... It's nothing. Eat too much. Naturally, he is well-informed. Ni Baohong said humbly.

Fang Monan smiled and continued, "This is honey salmon with candy rolls. A hot Chinese dish made of salmon, the dipping sauce is made from osmanthus and honey. The fish is first half-cooked, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It also does not lose the true character of its ingredients. Some of the grease was also removed.

If you don't like sweetness, you can eat it with dipping sauce. If you can do it, you can drizzle the dipping sauce over the salmon. ”

"Let's do this, ladies! I don't like to eat dishes that are too sweet. After Ni Baohong tasted it, she put it down.

"We love sweetness!" Hughes and Firth said, unceremoniously feasting.

Salmon has always been fresh and tender. Eat little sweet, and adding sugar is also to add some nutrients and calories. Candy rolls are fried with various dried fruits rolled in tofu skin, including peach flesh, dried almonds, green mangoes and other dried fruits, which can be eaten after eating fish, similar to desserts. The taste is crisp and sweet, and sure enough, the ladies are fast, of course, Xiao Dudu is indispensable, and I eat two more bites.

"It's called, steaming bowl, right? It's tender, smooth, and not greasy. Hughes smiled and said, "In short, two words, delicious!" ”

"Hmm! Eat so much! Faith sat down in his chair, his belly bulging, and he hummed very unproductively! It's almost like a roll, how comfortable a pig!

Everyone feels the same way, and they all eat a lot today.

Vera, Vicara, and Aunt Lian cleaned up the dishes that had been eaten, Fang Monan and his party went back to the middle of the mountain, sat in the living room, and just finished eating well, they would lie on the bed and sleep now, that was to grow fat in a hurry!

Firth leaned back on the sofa casually and said nonchalantly, "Xius, Beibei, do you know what my biggest gain during my time in Huaxia is?" ”

"Oh! What is our big broker talking about! Hughes smiled with interest.

Eva looked at it coldly, and was playing tricks again.

Faith and Eva's Chinese are not too bad, and when Alan and Aunt chose them in the first place, it was because they had a foundation in Chinese.

Fang's father and Fang's mother did not go out to visit the New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they had to visit relatives and friends after the second year of junior high school.

So everyone was interested in hearing what Faith had to talk about.

Faith danced and exaggeratedly, "I should have known Babe sooner, yes!" I can come to China earlier, and I will know what real Chinese food is. ”

The topic is back to the foreignization of Chinese food that we talked about when we were fishing in the morning!

Faith put down his hand and said solemnly. "In order to attract more customers, the only way for foreign Chinese restaurant owners to attract them is to 'cater', which is to over-'localize' Chinese food. However, since we want to 'localize', there are German, Italian, and French food, so why do you want this kind of Chinese food that has no characteristics? We rarely see where Japanese food is localized, and it is precisely because of the persistence of Japanese food that it has established a characteristic image of 'authentic and pure' in many parts of the world, which is worthy of admiration. ”

"Firth is right, Chinese food should stick to its own style, don't use chopsticks, just let them learn. Why do you want to make a four-way dislike? Destin loves to eat Chinese food, but every time they go to a Chinese restaurant, they have to call me, why? Just because I have Chinese ancestry at a glance!. Hughes laughed at himself, "Otherwise, the boss will fool them, and the food will not taste authentic." ”

"Hey! Don't laugh, I'm serious. Hughes then laughed, "Once my wife and I went to a Chinese restaurant, and when we ordered, we specifically spoke Chinese. "And they gave them knives, forks and plates without discrimination." At the insistent request of my wife and I, I was given disposable chopsticks and a small bowl. They don't even have the most basic green vegetable tofu in a Chinese restaurant on their menu. In fact, there is an Asian supermarket near them, where every day there is a daily air of Chinese vegetables, greens, leeks, cabbage, chrysanthemum, or bitter gourd, loofah, water spinach, you name it. But the vegetables they serve to their customers are cabbages that are found in every supermarket in the United States. ”

This Fang Monan has a deep understanding that when Cheng Shifei's parents came to see him from Hong Kong in the United States. In a Chinese restaurant, I ate a kung pao chicken that is 108,000 miles different from the taste and appearance of kung pao chicken. His mother went to the restaurant, and they replied that it was for Americans.

For many years, Chinese restaurants have always tried to adapt to the tastes of the locals. But today, it's synonymous with cheap restaurants overseas. Even children in the United States know that Chinese restaurants don't really cook Chinese food. And the advantages of our Chinese food culture, in her opinion, have disappeared.

Xiusi's words silenced Dad Fang.

Faith said with a smile, "Hughes's words remind me of a very small Japanese restaurant near my house, which is full of people every night, and comes back and forth after eating. Every time they booked a table, they always had a hard time finding an empty table. Their menu is simple, with a few dishes and a lot of money, but they are made with authentic Japanese food. No matter what guest comes, they will always put out a pair of chopsticks. Once an American begged to be replaced with a knife and fork, saying that he would not make chopsticks. The Japanese girl who served the plate politely and politely told him that Japanese food was eaten with chopsticks and that he should give it a try. People tried it, and they were very happy and satisfied. ”

"You say that, I remember eating French food during a French violin competition. I saw a man who should have just come out of China and wanted a pair of chopsticks in a French restaurant, I saw the waiter of the restaurant with my own eyes, politely took him out the door, and said to him, go forward a hundred meters and turn left, there is a Chinese restaurant, go there and eat with chopsticks! They would rather lose a guest than be accommodating. Mo Bei said in his heart, the young man's face was red at that time, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to drill.

Grandma smacked her tongue and said, "It's really fake, don't foreigners believe that customers are God!" How did they drive God out, this is too arrogant, the shopkeeper bullies! ”

Dad Fang shook his head and said, "This is not arrogance, this is perseverance!" ”

Fang's mother chimed in, "In many cases, cultures should not merge, because integration is equivalent to disappearing. If one loves a culture, one should stick to it with reverence. With this perseverance, culture will continue to be passed on from generation to generation, and its true dignity and value will always be maintained. ”

Fang's mother's words fell, Fang's father patted Fang's mother's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, full of tacit understanding.

Fang Monan remembered that she was in the western restaurant of a five-star hotel with He Junyao last year, she asked for chopsticks, and the waiter respectfully handed them over. This is the difference, she can't laugh or cry, if she is abroad, her fate will not be worse than the one just now.

"The harmony and flexibility of the Chinese people are sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing......," Fang Menan said with a wry smile.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Fang's father's mouth, "I'm afraid everyone understands the truth, it just depends on whether you have the courage to insist." After all, it's for life! ”

Fang Monan leaned on the back of the sofa, gently scraped his chin with his index finger, and said slowly, "Of course, 'following the local customs' cannot be denied, but if it is excessive, it will become a 'local', and there is no problem of 'entering the countryside'."

The result of 'Handan toddler' is that he did not learn others well and lost himself.

Taking Japanese food as an example, they choose high-quality raw materials, insist on their own unique methods, and are not even equipped with knives and forks, and they have to take off their shoes when they enter, but Westerners are still willing to pay several times the price of Chinese food to receive it, because they can see the authentic Japanese culture.

By extension, it's not just about Chinese food. (To be continued......)
