Food Science and You (17)Regional food influences and functions
After the brown rice is cooked, let it ferment and turn into rice sauce. Before the fermentation, there is no water to make it produce rice sauce. This thing can be marinated with tofu. The tofu is steamed and dried to make bean curd. It can pick up melon and pickle many things. The most famous ones can help digestion, with pickled Cordia dichotoma for dinner.
A breakfast like Taiwan is a culture of Taiwan for four hundred years. Why? Because the agricultural life in the countryside is not nutritious, if it is not well digested, it will soon die. Insufficient nutrition will not digest well, and no one will live long. In the most difficult farm life, breakfast is eaten with Cordia dichotoma and rice soup. The stomach is very good, my mother side’ s sisters, when the pressure in Taiwan was quite large, but also to teach the children, there is no stomach disease. And my father cocked his legs and watched my mother to raise pigs there because of his bad stomach.
I often talk about a person's success or failure. If you eat something, if you don't absorb it, it is equal yo not eating anything, you will poop out whatever you Eat. It is useless, including taking Chinese medicine. You take Chinese medicine, you will not absorb it, is that Chinese medicine useful?
On the diet, you often have to look at this area. It used to be different from the present. The human beings themselves have already broken a lot of records. Now the world's trade, the world's food can bought everywhere.
At the time of the region, China used to pay great attention to the spirit of the land. The good land must be with talented people. It is not a talented people then a good land. The good spirit land is not just a little bit, is a area, so I have a lot of research, and food has a great impact on certain areas. As in Heilongjiang, the area only produces one season a year, but because of some trace elements in the soil, the disease in that place is very large, and the place in Heilongjiang, there is no way for people to lead China. Heilongjiang and Yalu River are close to this place and there is no way to go to North Korea to lead North Korea. Because the food in that place is missing something.
Why are these politicians who lead China probably on the edge of the Yellow River Plateau?
In this part of Henan, the Yellow River Basin is in Henan. It used to dominate the entire Chinese politics. It was in Henan from the Shang Dynasty. When it comes to economic development, then to the south of the Yangtze River, Sunan, including Shanghai, North Jiangsu is very poor because of a problem in that area.
The economics of southern Jiangsu, the People’s Republic of China since the founding of the country in 1949, crowded out the equality treaty, everyone must line up, then set communism is trade ethics. All things must be attributed to the state, and the party must be used to control everything. Then at that time, before 1949, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only two places in the most lively region of Asia, one was Tokyo and the other was Shanghai. The population of Shanghai is more than that of Tokyo, also richer than it. In the novels will all read the prosper ten-mile field. How busy it is! After this, the whole pause, crowding and rectification, absolutely can not let you contact with foreigners, business is equal to all-stop, so it created the Hong Kong occupied by the British at that time, Hong Kong established the Oriental Pearl is caused by the People's Republic of China.
Because Shanghai was locked at the time, there was no way for people to communicate and they had to start from Hong Kong. So Hong Kong was up, and Deng Xiaoping reformed and opened in 1979. You have to know that it has been blocked for 30 years. You are going there to give it a try. As long as the Tucheng Detention Center was isolated for three years, it was not present. It has been isolated for thirty years. After the reform and opening up, the progress has been rapid, and the current prosperity has passed through Tokyo. The problem lies in its rich source in the rich areas. Now, after the reform and opening up of Deng Xiaoping in mainland China, the leaders of the mainland economy came out of that place, and the Shanghai gang came out.
We talk about local food, then can you move that local food to my side, like the Canada Expo has a greenhouse, glass house with a tropical plant banana, which is very large, and finally counts one pound of bananas is 100 yuan. Can you take it? If you eat 100 dollars, you can get 3 cents back. Then you build the greenhouse, not only useless, also the bankruptcy. The problem is the problem of utility.
The local climate, how is this going to happen? The Chinese first discovered that where the production is effective, how many people will save its value, this is called the local medicine. If you have researched traditional Chinese medicine, medicinal herbs, you can relieve headaches, you must be Sichuan-made, must be Sichuan, cough must be Chuanbei, Zhebei only 3 percent of the price, Chuanbei to Zhebei is 33 times more because of the problem of the effect.
So how do people study this food, then you have to use this local food when you want to lead in this place.
What is the most famous food in Jiangsu? Chinese Yam-SanYao is eaten so that you will not be hungry, not diabetes, because they have a good wine, drink too much, they will definitely have diabetes, so after they eat with chinese yam, it is not easy to have diabetes. But eating chinese yam after diabetes is not helpful. Food can't cure it, but if you eat the right food, it's not easy to get sick. This is the point.
Then the real local hard-working people can make the added value higher. The salted duck egg is a special product of Taiwan. It is very salty, so there is a dish in Taiwan, and the radish soup in the winter is cooked and served with the egg well.
In the past, Taiwan’s economic control was in the hands of Japanese trading companies. At that time, the Japanese who came to Taiwan, if the president of the company did not have a second wife will be laughed at. They must prepare a salted duck egg at 6:30 every morning. The Japanese must eat the egg yolk. White radish with a little sashimi and wosame, this is their specialty, a small bowl of rice in the morning, sprinkle with seven or eight black sesame seeds, every president in Taiwan to make money is arrogant.
In such a good area of Taiwan, why there are so many people who are sick, they are harmed by doctors. It is said that eating egg yolk cholesterol is too high, and people do not pickle the duck egg so salty, egg yolks take off only go with crispy egg white, it is finished. You haven't eaten egg yolk for so long, suddenly eat so many egg yolks, you must have diarrhea, because you can't digest it, you can't absorb it. You eat it often, you have that kind of metabolic enzyme, your liver will secrete those enzymes, and suddenly eat a lot, it is no way to produce that enzyme, then you must diarrhea it off.
This regional person who likes to eat certain foods will naturally produce the characteristics of this group of people in this region. The three counties of Yilan County, Taoyuan County and Chiayi County are very special counties. First, they all like to eat pork of black pigs. When Japan came to Taiwan, the three places were in a good economy. Why? The Japanese developed the Central Mountain Range, the wood in the area, south to Chiayi, and to the northern Taiping Mountain in Luodong. The economy came up like this. The impact on food was incredible. In the 52nd year of the Republic of China, we had a retreat from the US funds believe that Taiwan's black pigs have too much fat, too little lean meat, and can't be promoted. They import white pigs from the United States and call Yorkshire. A large number of promotion, as long as the sow, the Agricultural Rehabilitation Association will subsidize your money, for the pig house, the Agricultural Rehabilitation will be returned to you in 15 years, without interest, but also subsidize their transportation fees. Therefore, all the Taiwanese began to raise white pigs. As a result, those who have eaten black pork have taken over the economy, and those who eat white pork have borrowed money to enjoy it in installments. Just like the Americans, enjoy first and then pay. Those who eat black pork are frugal, pennish with money, come in one dollar, only spend eighty-five cents, and must leave 15% of the old age. This is the position of Taiwanese people who eat black pork.
