Chapter 212 Food and Knowledge
The remaining clean meat picked from the large snail is another dish.
Put the snail meat into clean water, add salt and rub it several times to get clean snail meat and drain the water.
Heat the pot, dry the snail meat and roast it to remove the moisture on the surface of the snail meat.
Put lard in the pot, add Sichuan peppercorns, pickled ginger, and pickled chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant and red, then add snail meat and stir-fry.
Then add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cooking wine, stir-fry a few times to bring out the aroma and take away the fishy smell, add minced garlic sprouts and red pepper rings, and finally add salt and stir-fry out of the pot.
This is the first time Zhou Zhi has made this dish. It was made according to the texture and flavor of the snail meat and the method of stir-frying duck gizzards, but it just used a little more oyster sauce.
By the time the two plates of food were served, Wei Yi and his friends had already started talking about the snails.
Both Wei Yi and Mr. Qiao have never eaten this dish. Wei Fei has eaten it once or twice, and Yang He has eaten the most. While teaching them how to pick out the snail meat with a toothpick, he expressed regret: "It just goes with it. The beer is cold, not suitable for this season..."
Zhou Zhi: "Then drink something hot."
"Can you drink hot beer?"
"Wait a minute..."
In fact, hot beer is very simple, that is, beer is boiled with rock sugar, wolfberry, longan and meat fermented glutinous rice. In addition to lowering the degree, The tail is a little bitter, but it's actually pretty tasty.
Jiachuan people are accustomed to sour, astringent, and bitter foods such as bitter bamboo shoots, Houttuynia cordata, and green fruits. They cannot be said to be a favorite, or even a hobby, so they do not like cooking beer. A bit of bitter tail seeds is not called bitterness to Jiachuan people, but called flavor.
Wei Fei's parents are a little amused by Zhou Zhi's endless weird food, but the taste is indeed good and suitable for girls.
My daughter is also very ambitious. During this period of time, she has to rush to graduate school. Jiachuan has only produced one graduate student so far, which is Kudingcha. Is this my daughter going to be... the second one?
So when Lao Wei saw his daughter happily slurping the bits of meat in the small snails, holding the beer that was as bland as fermented glutinous rice, and constantly inviting people to this and that, the excitement on the table was just a sight to see. Feel comfortable.
There's only one thing. My eldest sister is twenty-two this year. If she doesn't pass the postgraduate entrance exam, it's okay. If she passes, it will take two years. Then she's twenty-four, and she's twenty-four when she comes out to find a job. Five, even if we fall in love immediately and only date for one year, twenty-six will have passed by the time we get married...
Oh my god, this is not a big deal. After all, even the fried snail meat with elbows is no longer fragrant...
But my friends don’t think so. There is no doubt that the dish of spicy fried snail meat is very successful, especially with the One-flavored oyster sauce, a seasoning rarely used in Jiachuan households today, adds a unique sweet flavor to the snail meat.
Wei Yi ate very happily and looked at Zhou Zhi with a smile: "No wonder I dare to boast about this for a year. It turns out that the taste of snails is really good."
"You can't blame me for this, sister? Summer vacation is your own. I have to work-study and never return. Come on, otherwise this thing is enough."
"Why don't you support me if you don't work hard?" Wei Yi glared at Zhou Zhi: "It's easy to say!"
The speaker has no intention. Intentionally, Wu Qiaomu opened his mouth, frightened Zhou Zhi quickly interrupted: "It's okay, it's okay. There are ways to eat these snails in summer and in winter. They are originally the fattest around the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it seems that the snails we eat in Jiachuan don't feel thin now... …”
"It has something to do with the climate. After all, this is the northernmost subtropical climate." Mr. Qiao was finally led astray by Zhou Zhi. He did not expose the despicable attributes of Weiyi brand dog licking in front of Wei's parents and Wei's mother, and turned to research. Let’s start with the scientific question of geography.
"Actually, Jiachuan is like this. There are many anti-latitude geographical phenomena, right? For example..."
"Lychee."
"Longan." "Olive."
“Uh... what a stupid duck?”
"Hahaha, this doesn't count." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "But many migratory birds such as egrets no longer migrate in Jiachuan, can it be counted?"
"It can be counted. Does the giant salamander count?"< br>
"Salamanders don't count, there are plenty of them in the mountains of Qianzhou."
"Does hummingbirds count?" Dad Wei suddenly said.
“Hummingbird?” Zhou Zhi and Mr. Qiao looked at each other, then turned to Dad Wei: “There is such a thing in Jiachuan, is it impossible?”
"Why not!" Dad Wei is not used to brewing beer, so he still drinks his own beer, and now it has stained his face: "In the Qinggang Forest in my hometown in Anle Mountain, when a few dwarf Paulownia trees bloom, hummingbirds come to eat the nectar."
After saying that, I was a little unsure: "The shining bird that eats nectar is a hummingbird, right?"
"Oh, I'm afraid it's true!" Zhou Zhi and Master Qiao felt that they had discovered New World General: "This clue is so important, I have to tell Teacher Jiang!"
"Stop talking about this." Wei Yi waved his hand: "Elbow, you are really determined to take the Sichuan University exam. ”
< br>"It's not that I want to take the exam at Shu University, it's something I want to learn. Now in the whole of China, only Mr. Gu is the most authoritative." Zhou Zhi said, "And Mr. Gu is at Shu University, so I can only take the exam at Shu University. ”
"What kind of knowledge can only one person in the country teach?"
"It is something I think is very important. It can explain clearly where we Chinese people come from, exegesis."
"Really?" Wei Yi only knew that Zhou Zhi was doing something about literature and history, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zhi had raised his research to such a high level: "Come and see why Zhou Zhi is doing this. This branch of knowledge is as important as you said."
Zhou Zhi said: "Exegesis is a discipline in Chinese tradition that studies the meaning of ancient Chinese words. Its earliest origin is traditional Chinese philology - a part of primary school. Branch. ”
“In the beginning, the meaning of exegesis was to ‘explain the classics’, which was the ‘study of interpretation’ that existed to help students understand ancient classics. ”
"It not only explains the meaning of ancient Chinese words, but also analyzes the grammar and rhetorical phenomena in ancient books. It studies ancient documents from the perspective of language and helps people read classical documents."
"Isn't this just a dictionary? Wei Yi didn't understand: "So I'm going to slap you Learning this subject is actually just memorizing a dictionary?”
“Huh?” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “That’s not the case. Exegesis can be divided into a broad sense and a narrow sense. The broad sense of exegesis includes phonology. and philology, exegesis in the narrow sense is only concerned with phonology, phonology, "The discipline relative to writing."
"It wasn't until Mr. Zhang Taiyan wrote "Wen Shi" that "Primary School" was renamed "Language and Writing", that China had etymology in the modern scientific sense. "Wenshi" also became the first etymology with modern scientific significance. After studying the monograph, Mr. Zhang also became the founder of modern language and philology in our country."
"The next important figure is Mr. Huang Kanhuang, who based on Mr. Zhang's "Language and philology". , further developed the subject concept. ”
"Mr. Huang said: 'Execution means the original meaning. Execution means Shun Ye, which means the extension. Execution means using language to explain language.'
'If this is the case, Interpreting the language of another place with the language of the present, or interpreting the language of the past with the language of the present, although it is all matters of exegesis , rather than the principle of composition.
The true hermeneutics is not limited to time and place, and it is to discuss its formulas and clarify its meanings in order to find the system and origin of language. "
