The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 48: Make it if you want to eat!

I chatted briefly with Liang Cheng, and when he started working, the topic was temporarily stopped.

Regarding being urged to meet Zhong Qing...

Chen Jingle scratched his head.

"How should I put it? I feel like there's a lack of impulse, the kind of impulse to travel to a faraway city just for someone."

At least for now, Zhong Qing couldn't make him feel that way.

This has nothing to do with Zhong Qing personally, she is indeed a good girl.

It's like he's lost the ability to love.

In a sense, Liang Cheng was right in his scolding. The old man had no self-awareness and wanted to wait for others to take the initiative.

"Maybe we should talk for a while longer."

Chen Jingle pondered.

After all, frequent chatting can indeed make the relationship between two people advance by leaps and bounds, and give people an illusion of relationship cognition.

This is how many scumbag men and women play.

However, Chen Jingle believes that if one goes there with a sincere heart, at least in the initial stage of acquaintance, this illusion is not a bad thing.

……

Take a shower first.

Change into a set of clean clothes.

Chen Jingle is a person with very low material desires. He only wears eight sets of clothes for the four seasons. The Emperor Wanshou only said it, but he really meant it.

Four sets in summer and four sets in winter.

Are you talking about the Spring and Autumn Period?

There is no such thing in Lingnan.

Return to the systematic study schedule.

This morning's study class is still history.

If philosophy makes people think deeply, then history makes people wise.

Chen Jingle liked watching "Lecture Room" for a while, and personally thought that as a popular science program, it was quite good.

"At least in terms of storytelling, it's much better than many other shows."

If we can make ordinary people interested in this subject, we will be successful.

After reading so many history books during this period, Chen Jingle has gained a lot of new insights.

For example, he used to think that all contemporary history was ancient history.

This statement is actually not rigorous.

"If we believe that so-called history is events that happened in the past and can be singled out from the long river of history, then we can indeed say that 'all contemporary history is ancient history' and the two are comparable."

"But if we think of history as a collection of all past human societies and a subject of study, we certainly cannot say that."

The key lies in how to define so-called history.

This question is too profound, enough for professional scholars to discuss for a long time. As a beginner, Chen Jingle is not qualified to talk about it. It is better to just go through the outline of national history first.

The current history study program has proceeded to the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the entire five thousand years of history, the importance of the Tang Dynasty is self-evident.

It was another unified dynasty after the Sui Dynasty, and was much stronger than the Sui Dynasty. Because the two dynasties were too close, people generally have a low opinion of the Sui Dynasty, which ended the Southern and Northern Dynasties and re-unified the country but was short-lived.

The Tang Dynasty had an unprecedentedly vast territory, and it is no exaggeration to say that its comprehensive national strength was the best in the world.

However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the vast empire began to decline.

This is also a major dividing point in many people's understanding of Tang history. Usually, people know more about the early period and less about the later period.

The same is true for Chen Jingle.

There were so many emperors in the middle and late Tang Dynasty and even at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but I don’t know many of them.

Therefore, I definitely wouldn’t dare to say that I understand the history of the Tang Dynasty.

……

The prosperous Tang Dynasty, compared with the powerful Han Dynasty, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was reflected in more aspects and it truly achieved the goal of attracting all nations to pay tribute.

So much so that later generations have been trying to recreate this scene and even regard it as a historical mission.

Wang Anshi once wrote in his poem "Phoenix Mountain", "I wish to be a frivolous boy of Wuling, born in the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan periods. I would spend my whole life fighting cocks and walking dogs, unaware of the safety of heaven and earth." What he meant was that people who lived in the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan periods were happy, as the empire was at its most prosperous period. If they lived in Chang'an and had a little money, they could fight cocks and walk dogs every day and live a comfortable life. This would be the best.

Even the prime minister of the Song Dynasty felt so emotional and yearning for it, let alone ordinary people.

Although there was Wu Zhou in between, the overall impact was not significant.

Even though Chen Jingle received a modern new-style education and a materialistic view of history, he would still be shocked by the power and prosperity of the Tang Empire. After all, the existence of his nation was an objective fact.

It is unrealistic to ask him to completely abandon nationalist ideas.

The strength of the Tang Dynasty was mainly reflected in the areas of territory, military, economy, and culture.

As for its power, is it beneficial to ordinary people and the lower classes?
Chen Jingle believes that there is.

But to say that it is some feudal paradise or a highly developed society far beyond modern times is nonsense.

Social productivity is there.

At least it is far less tolerant than the nobles and ministers, and even less tolerant than foreign merchants.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty also left to future generations the cultural treasure of Tang poetry.

According to research, there are nearly 50,000 recorded Tang poems that have been passed down to later generations, and they still have a huge influence today.

Chen Jingle did not understand the rules of poetry, but he was familiar with 300 Tang poems, and although he could not compose poetry, he could recite it.

The more you read, the better your level will naturally improve, just like singing. If you sing more, you may occasionally get a flash of inspiration and hum a melody that may be comparable to a classic.

You can still tell whether a poem is good or not.

What are the criteria for a good poem?
Chen Jingle couldn’t say it, but it definitely wouldn’t be something like “You, peed in a line; I, peed in a pit.”

Therefore, Chen Jingle admires those modern people who write classical poetry.

In the absence of a good creative environment, one can still write excellent ancient poems, which is a manifestation of talent and genius.

However, poetry can be considered a separate category in the field of cultural learning, and it is not advisable to study it midway through a history class.

"First, let's go through the history briefly. If you are interested, you can slowly learn Tang and Song poems."

……

Practical classes are the usual advanced cooking learning.

The main dish today is purple chicken feet and salted choy sum.

It’s nothing special, I just suddenly wanted to eat it, so I made it myself on a whim. For this purpose, I ran to the supermarket and bought two kilograms after the study.

Chicken feet are a common dish in Cantonese cuisine and are usually ordered when people go to a teahouse for tea.

But it also depends on taste and method.

Purple gold chicken feet are a relatively unique type. They are made from tiger skin chicken feet. The key to the taste is the use of purple gold chili sauce, which is crimson in color. The color of the finished product is better than that of ordinary chicken feet.

The key is the rich taste, with the skin full of starch juice, giving a feeling of soup. The skin and bones are easy to separate when eating, making it truly soft and boneless, and super tasty!

If you want the tiger skin to look good, soaking it in water is essential.

This step is the same as the principle of tiger skin braised pork. After frying, it must be soaked in water for a period of time, and then during the steaming process, the beautiful and delicious tiger skin will appear.

Then the key is the preparation of the sauce. If you want to completely replicate the secret of the old brand... I dare not guarantee it, but generally speaking, the taste is not worse than that produced in the restaurant, which is still possible.

"Zijin sauce, bean paste, chuhou sauce, barbecued pork sauce, shacha sauce, peanut butter, honey, salt, gold and silver garlic, pepper..."

There are a bit too many seasonings, but that is the secret to a delicious dish. The taste must be rich enough.

And the ratio is critical.

Chen Jingle made the adjustment based on "experience".

cough cough...

During the class, what the system knows is his, and knowing the system means he knows it. Such an opportunity to learn from others in a legitimate way should not be missed.

As for salted choy sum, it is used to relieve the greasiness because people feel that eating too much chicken feet will make them feel sick.

Many people think that salted Chinese cabbage is ordinary, but it is not.

This dish is perfect for the occasion.

If you eat less meat on a normal day, you won't be able to appreciate how delicious it is. But if you eat too much meat and fish during festivals, salted choy sum will definitely be the object of everyone's scramble on the table.

It is great for removing the greasiness from chicken feet.
