Chapter Eighty-Three: The Salty and Sweet Controversy

Shen Qingming pulled Yang Xu Xiling, who was eating melons and watching the play, and Qin Yeyou, who had just finished bandaging his wounds, into a room, and solemnly introduced them to the rules of Gongsun Short Senior Brother and polemics.

After hearing this, Yang Xu nodded and asked, "Isn't this a debate competition?" What do the debaters want to debate?"

Gongsun smiled warmly and said, "Since it is an exchange between senior brothers, don't argue with those more angry issues." You can just choose some small things in life, the Tao is drowning, and the subtleties are seen in the effort. ”

Yang Xu said: "What Mr. Gongsun said is extremely ..... Otherwise, the topic is whether tofu brain is salty or sweet?"

Shen Qingming snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "Of course the tofu brain is salty, is the sweet tofu brain for people?"

"Oh, oops, in this era, there are still people who support salty tofu brains? What a stubborn guy. Gongsun said, "Bet on the name of the god of sweet tofu brains, and my Gongsun will defeat you today." ”

The atmosphere suddenly came up???

Gongsun cleared his throat and said: "The people take food as the sky, and the difference between the north and the south of China is the greatest. Senior brother, if you say that the south is sweet and salty, the east is spicy and the west is sour, it is too much to dare to say that it is prepared for people. As a northerner, you don't want to eat sweets. Why don't you pretend to understand what sweet tofu brain you pretend to understand?"

This sentence seems to be a little threatening, but in fact, it directly raises the level of the problem to a higher level, from the simple taste dispute to the north and south regions, the most taboo topic of the warlock is led away by the opponent, no matter what the purpose of Gongsun saying this sentence is, he must intercept his topic in time.

Shen Qingming straightened out his thoughts and said: "Why should the tastes of the northern and southern regions be divided between sweet and salty? There are people in the north who like to eat sweets, and there are also people in the southers who have heavy tastes. There are sweet and sour pot-wrapped pork in northern cuisine, and salty tamales in southern cuisine. The sweet and salty controversy is only a matter of taste, not a matter of north and south. ”

Gongsun said, "Oh, is that really the case? The problem of taste is not only a matter of personal preference, but also affected by regional differences. The climate in the south is humid and hot, rich in rice, the staple food rice, the starch intake is more, the taste is naturally sweeter, not to mention the production of sugarcane in the two lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, which is more convenient for the intake of sugar, and it is naturally sweet in the south. The winter in the north is long, vegetables are difficult to keep fresh, and salt needs to be added to facilitate preservation. ”

Shen Qingming secretly said in his heart that what he said was reasonable, and he really liked to eat salty.

However, since it is a polemic, it will never act in an act that readily agrees with the opponent's point of view. Even if the opponent's point of view is correct, pick out the bones in the egg,

Shen Qingming said: "Senior Brother Gongsun's words are biased, even from the perspective of the region, sweetness is not the mainstream, the real mainstream is salty." Looking at the cuisine, there is no need to say much about the thick oil red sauce of Lu cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Hui cuisine, and Hunan cuisine also like to add salt to the dish, and the use of sweetness is only famous in Su cuisine. Hahaha, it seems that the second senior brother's understanding of Chinese cuisine is still insufficient. ”

"Hui Cai .....," Gongsun muttered, "Is AH really considered the South?"

"Oooh oh. Are you going to debate the issue of southern and northern Anhui now?" Yang Xu suddenly became excited.

"Boss, be quiet!" Shen Qingming said, "Now is not the time for distraction. ”

The halftime of less than half a minute just now gave Gongsun a chance to sort out his thoughts. He said: "Sweet tofu brain is suitable for all ages, and it is extremely catchy. Sweets themselves are a kind of food with a low threshold for eating and a wide range of people. The heavy taste of salty food is more scarce for the use of people, which is not conducive to the promotion of people who do not eat tofu brain, in terms of promotion, salty tofu brain has lost to sweet tofu brain. ”

Damn, I was diverted from the topic by Gongsun just now. If you can follow the cuisine and chase after the victory, you will definitely be able to gain an advantage.

In the face of Gongsun's extremely general generalization, Shen Qingming was not very flustered, Senior Brother Gongsun seemed to be releasing water, and did not use all his strength. This kind of extremely emotional words don't seem like a veteran can say.

Shen Qingming asked: "Senior brother's words have no evidence, but there is evidence? At present, there is no clear evidence to prove that sweets are easier to promote than salty food, right?"

Gongsun shook his head and said, "There is no direct evidence at the moment......"

Shen Qingming was secretly refreshed, and saying such discouraged words in the midst of the debate had a great impact on both himself and the audience. It is equivalent to a master's move, a person suddenly wants to go to the toilet, and it is a large size, and he may not even bring paper.

Gongsun suddenly changed his words: "However, there is indeed indirect evidence that people prefer to consume sweets. ”

Anti-guest, Gongsun just now retreated to advance, changed the direction of the topic again, and changed back to sweet and salty tastes from the difference between north and south. Gongsun's ability to grasp the topic has been done with ease, and this is still under the condition that Gongsun restrains his own strength.

Gongsun said: "Sugar is addictive, and the way sugar is addictive is similar to that of cigarettes, alcohol and even drugs. Human beings are born with a sweet appetite, this is because there are many sweet receptors in human taste cells, and after eating, sugar will be transmitted through the sugar addiction to give people a pleasant feeling. At the same time, sugar affects the hormones in the body, causing the brain to inhibit the production of satiety, and the hormones will make the brain continuously send signals to ingest sugar. ”

It's really a reasoned and well-founded analysis, and it seems that Gongsun's knowledge is beyond everyone's imagination.

Shen Qingming thought about it for a while and decided to break the addiction of sugar from the front, otherwise he would definitely lose next. "It's true that sugar is addictive, but it's still a little less suitable than salt," he said. A dish that is detached from salt is like a fish detached from water. Ask all of you to think about whether you can accept a dish without sugar or a dish without salt.

Here Shen Qingming confuses the difference between sugar and sweetness, salt and saltiness. But for this audience, it's hard to realize that he's confusing the difference between the two. To put it bluntly, the polemic is to win the support of the audience, not simply to defeat the opponent.

All of a sudden, everyone was thinking about it.

If Shen Qingming only counterattacked his topic here, at most he would have flattened the scene. Because of the strategy used by Gongsun at the beginning of the debate, the core of the problem was separated from the salty and sweet tofu brain, as long as the salty and sweet tofu brain was not touched, the previous entanglement was just an innocuous little fight.

Then let's put an end to this debate, Shen Qingming glanced at the three audience members, speculating on their hearts.
