Chapter 1132: Culinary Inheritance (2)
"Two old men, I really can't imagine that with such simple ingredients, without any complicated seasoning and fancy cooking methods, it is possible to make such a delicious and unstoppable delicacy!" Wang Fatzi praised heartily while eating.
"Yes!" Master Kong Chan glanced at Wang Fatzi approvingly and said: "In our ancient Huaxia, there was a literati named Yuan Mei who once wrote a book "Suiyuan Food List", which contains such a sentence. 'If you can, you can treasure everything'. The meaning of this phrase is that a good chef is able to cook delicious dishes even with the simplest and most ordinary ingredients. ”
The later scholar Mr. Bingxin also said that a person should be like a flower, regardless of gender. The flowers are colorful, fragrant, flavorful, talented, affectionate, and interesting. Without one of the three, you can't be a good friend. The same applies to gastronomy. To really enjoy eating, you must include what Mr. Bingxin said, the six benefits of people and flowers, and you need five senses. ”
"In other words, the five senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch are brought into full play, and the cooked dishes are likely to achieve a swaying gluttonous dish."
This theory of Master Kong Zen not only integrates the various experiences he summed up when he was cooking vegetarian food, but also mixes with what he thinks, feels, knows and understands when he meditates and practices all his life.
It is precisely because Master Kong Chan has integrated all the things he has learned in his life into his cooking techniques and into every dish he cooks that the old man can cook a delicious dish like the shepherd's cabbage and tofu pot.
Don't look at the fact that Master Azabu always likes to quarrel with Master Kuzen on weekdays, he still agrees with Master Kuzen's cooking concept.
Master Azabu nodded as he continued, "Our Huaxia clan is different from those aliens who have occupied the distant Western Star Alliance. What we have always advocated is the spiritual belief that comes from the profound cultural heritage. ”
"We believe in one side of the water and soil to raise the other side. The cooking techniques of every traditional dish are a kind of cultural information in the food culture of the Chinese people, and these tastes, these techniques and dishes cannot be discarded and must be passed on. ”
After listening to Master Sake's words, Cai Youyou couldn't help but think to herself, if this master could meet her grandfather, she believed that there must be many common topics about traditional dishes between them.
Master Linen looked at Cai Youyou and smiled slightly: "Of course, focusing on tradition is not the same as opposing innovation. Hanako always thinks that Mother Nature has always maintained the most simple kindness to us humans. All we have to do for the children and grandchildren of nature is to resign ourselves to the time of the seasons and find seasonal delicacies to treat the world. ”
"Naturally grown ingredients, even the most inconspicuous things, can blossom in every meal as long as they are cooked with care, and achieve extraordinary deliciousness."
"A good painting and calligraphy work is valuable in the agility of the charm. A delicious meal also needs the chef who cooks it to give it a unique taste and beauty. Young people should not be in a hurry, but should observe daily life and think about society. ”
