Ten questions and answers about me.

"

According to my habit of being lazy and not updating during long holidays, I originally planned to postpone the update during the National Day. However, before the holiday, I received an invitation for a manuscript, which included ten questions related to my own travel and foraging experiences. It was good to think of it as a review and sorting out of my past experiences, so I came up with this update.

’s invitation this time comes from “Fresh Food” , which focuses on the cultural connotations behind food.

Q: Hometown and current place of residence.

A: Born in Jiangxi, grew up in Guangdong after elementary school, and currently lives in Guangzhou.

Q: The thing I want to eat most right now.

A: A bowl of hot soup, whether it is Cantonese soup or Japanese bowl. After living in Guangdong for a long time, I gradually got into the habit of drinking a bowl of stomach-warming soup before a meal. When I was traveling in Japan for food earlier, what I was most looking forward to was the bowl of Japanese banquet dishes, that is, Japanese dashi soup. The ingredients and flavors of the two are different, but they taste equally heart-warming.

Q: A must-eat dish when you go home.

A: If you go back to your parents’ house, you will naturally eat the food cooked by your mother. When I go back to my hometown, what I want to eat is the clear soup from my hometown. The name of this dish looks like a soup, but it is actually wontons.

Q: Are you traveling anywhere this year?

A: In the first half of the year, while China Southern Airlines’ Happy Flying was still in effect, we were all heading to the far north. I went to Inner Mongolia during the Qingming Festival holiday and found that southern diners and northern restaurateurs can never agree on the adjectives for food portions. Every time I tell the boss, just ask for a little bit or a small portion. After eating, I always hold on to the wall and go out.

I went to Yanji and Changbai Mountain during the May Day holiday. I was lucky enough to see Tianchi, but I was blown away by the heavy snow after just ten minutes. I can only comfort myself, knowing that unpredictable changes are also one of the joys of the journey. It’s just that the epidemic has recurred frequently since the end of May, and I have rarely traveled far away...

Q: How has your travel mentality changed before and after the epidemic?

A: If going out before the epidemic could be considered a trip, after the epidemic it would probably be considered a vacation. Before the epidemic, when I was still free to go abroad, I would hold the mentality that I might only visit this place once. I would often schedule a full schedule, get up early in the morning and drive and run around non-stop. When traveling around the country after the epidemic, half of the destinations were places I had been to before. The itinerary was very lazy and casual. It was common to sleep until I woke up naturally for lunch. My mentality and travel style were completely different.

Q: Share a fresh and interesting story during your trip?

A: Once in Cuba, I met several friends from the bottom of society over rum, including a gangster who lived on the streets, a father who was a voodoo shaman, and a former underground boxer with brain damage. We all have little money, so we drink and dance together every day and have a happy time.

Havana Street Scene

One night I was wandering the streets of Havana with these friends, and I met a depressed-looking Frenchman standing on the roadside, saying that today was his last night in Cuba, and he originally wanted to find a bar to watch a reggaeton show. , but he was introduced to a place that cheated money. Not only did the people there sing badly, but he also spent all the last money he had. After hearing this, one of the gangsters took the Frenchman to a bar not far away, told him that this was the best reggae bar in the city, and asked all the poor friends around him to dig through their change. The coins were put into the hands of the Frenchman, and the bar owner was called out to say hello and asked the owner to entertain the French friend well. After everyone said "enjoy it" to the Frenchman, they left separately, leaving the Frenchman feeling overwhelmed and moved.

In Cuba, as long as you love music and rum, everyone is amigo (friend).

Q: What was the most unforgettable meal during the trip?

A: SHOKUDO YArn in Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The menu is like a collection of Japanese jokes: Matcha dragon tea is actually a mixture of matcha and oolong tea; the chawanmushi is made into a molecular cuisine, named "Chawanmushi", and both are pronounced "ちゃわんむし" (chawanmushi) chawanmushi), also implies a layer of "Chawanmushi without a teacup"; there is also a dish that uses three kinds of potatoes grown in the Andes. It is probably because they are afraid that diners will not be able to remember the potato varieties, so they simply printed the variety names on the On the dinner plate...

Q: Long vacation plan.

A: The epidemic is still recurring, so I don’t dare to book a long trip. The plan is to go to Liuzhou for a trip to eat ten meals a day of snail noodles. I might come back so smelly that I won’t be able to go to work for three days.

Q: Recommend a book/or movie suitable for reading during this long holiday.

A: I recommend this book "Cooking Laboratory" which is more than 900 pages thick. The author is a top student who graduated from MIT. From poached eggs to hamburgers, from frying steak to boiling pasta, he not only tells you how to make a dish, but also explains the principles behind it clearly through scientific experiments and analysis.

Q: I want to go to a place I haven’t gone to yet.

A: I was reading history books some time ago and wanted to go to Egypt and Greece to see the ruins of civilizations. Unfortunately, we don’t know when the epidemic will end. Currently, we can only turn on the travel mode in the "Assassin's Creed" game and travel online at home.
