"Then, let's move on to this sandwich."

"The history of sandwiches is almost as old as cake, except that it didn't seem to have a specific name in the first place."

"If we continue to dig deeper, we can learn more about the knowledge and history of sandwiches."

"To sum up, if you can learn more about a certain food when you eat it, it means that you have learned more about the local culture through this food."

Chen Er turned the pen in his hand and said, "I have always believed that tourism is the best and fastest way to understand a country's culture. ”

"And in tourism, it is the most convenient way to learn about culture and history through food."

Chen Er spread his hands and said, "Because food is the most indispensable thing for us human beings, and it is also the best thing to inherit. ”

"People can't live without food, music, painting, dancing are not necessities, but food is. So, in my opinion, food culture is the best inheritance of all cultures, and this is true in any country. ”

Chen Er looked at the blonde girl, "What do you think?" ”

In this sentence, although Chen Er seemed to be asking the other party, his tone did not have the slightest sense of doubt.

And the blonde girl was completely stunned.

I don't know if it's because Chen Er said too much and she didn't react for a while, or if what Chen Er said was too shocking, she was already shocked.

Anyway, she was already stunned in her seat, and it wasn't until everyone in the classroom stood up and applauded that she reacted and applauded with everyone.

Chen Er jumped off the table and returned to the podium.

"I am from China, and what I know best is definitely the food culture of China."

"Therefore, in the future courses, I will mainly talk about Chinese food culture."

The blonde girl had completely changed her appearance and looked much more serious than she had just been.

"And sir, what are you going to talk about now?"

Chen Er picked up a piece of chalk, "Then it depends on what you want to know." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll see which of you raises your hand first, and the one who raises his hand first, can ask questions and speak first."

As soon as Chen Er gave the order, the students in the classroom raised their hands one after another, and the first to raise their hands was actually the blonde girl just now.

She seemed to be happy, smiled and cupped her face, and thought for a long time before she said, "In your country, what staple food is the same as bread?" ”

Chen Er winked at her, indicating that the question was well asked.

Bread is indispensable in the West, just like rice, steamed buns or noodles in the East.

In China, the staple food is divided into many varieties according to different regions, not only rice.

Chen Er said, "If I have to introduce you to the staple food of China, I am afraid that I will have to talk about it for three days and three nights, and I may not be able to finish it." ”

"So, if you say it a hundred times, it's better to see it with your own eyes."

As soon as Chen Er said this, everyone seemed to suddenly become interested.

Chen Er erased the words on the blackboard, and then gestured to the door, "Let's go, let's go outside and find a place to class." ”

So, Chen Er took seven or eight students and walked out of the classroom generously and walked towards the school cafeteria.

Along the way, it attracted a lot of extra attention.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Chen Er asked everyone to sit down first, and then he continued his lesson.

Staple foods are generally considered to be foods rich in carbohydrates and starches. In China, in addition to rice as a staple food, some regions in the north will also use wheat products as a staple food.

Therefore, in China, when it comes to staple foods, there are generally two kinds of food by default, one is food made of rice, and the other is food made of flour.

Whether it is food made from rice or flour, there are many types, and it is not possible to introduce them in a few words.

"Just as there are many different types of sandwiches, there are many different types of staple foods in China. ”

He spread his hands and said helplessly, "Because something happened suddenly today, there are not many ingredients that can be used in the canteen, and there are only a few staple foods that can be introduced today." ”

"Today, I will mainly introduce two staple foods - porridge and pastry."

"Porridge can also be called porridge, in China, most of the time it is eaten at breakfast, and as for noodles, it is about the same."

But because of the limitation of ingredients, Chen Er can't make too complicated things, and even because it takes a long time to ferment flour, Chen Er can't even make the simplest steamed buns.

The history of porridge in China is also very long, and the relevant records about porridge were first seen in the Book of Zhou: the Yellow Emperor first cooked the valley for porridge.

Since ancient times, porridge is not just an ordinary food, porridge is both food and medicinal value. Chinese people have always liked to use porridge as a food supplement. Because the porridge is mild and delicate, the cooking method is suitable for most medicinal herbs.

There are many types of porridge, from meat to vegetarian, from plants to animals. Whether it is medicinal herbs or flowers, you can make porridge.

The common porridge, Chen Er felt that it was not much fun to make it, so he thought about it and decided to make cold porridge.

It originated from the cold food festival on the day of the Spring and Autumn Jin Dynasty when the Wen Gong Chong'er chased the sacrifice hero Jie Zi and burned his body.

During the Cold Food Festival, people are not allowed to set off fireworks, and they need to prepare cold foods such as wheat porridge to commemorate it. And the cold food porridge is a festival diet that has been handed down because of the cold food festival.

The ingredients for cold porridge are almost ready-made.

In addition to rice for porridge, almonds, spiral flowers, and coltsfoot flowers are also needed.

Almonds and rice, which are readily available in the canteen.

It's just that spiral flowers and coltsfoot flowers are relatively unfamiliar terms in everyone's opinion.

Chen Er said to the blonde girl, "I remember that on the way to the cafeteria, there were a lot of small chrysanthemums planted in the flower bed. ”

The blonde nodded.

Chen Er handed her a small basket, "Then you can go and help pick some." ”

Mulchflower and coltsfoot are two of the more common flowers in the Asteraceae family.

Coltsfoot flowers have a pungent and warm taste, and have the effect of moistening the lungs and qi, dissolving phlegm and relieving cough. It is recorded in the "Book of Scriptures": "It is most appropriate to drink evil asthma and cough from the cold beam lung meridian".

"Materia Medica" contains "winter flowers, in spring, people or pick vegetables instead." "Coltsfoot petioles and mosses contain protein and fat. Carbohydrates, multivitamins and minerals.

So, butterbur is edible.

As for the mulch, it is also an edible flower. Moreover, it has a protective effect on immune liver injury, and its chemical component celestiolide has anti-cancer effects. Roots, leaves, and flowers can be used in medicine.

On the way to the cafeteria, Chen Er saw a lot of chrysanthemums blooming in the flower garden, including these two kinds.
