Soon, it was Chu Lihua's turn.
After the host reported their names, everyone clapped their hands as usual, and then planned to do what they should do.
Of course, with the exception of Tang Xue's group, they all looked up at Chu Lihua who was slowly walking onto the stage.
"Do you know why foreigners love and hate Chinese hotpot?"
Chu Lihua didn't do anything to introduce herself - what is it called, that group.
Instead, he said such a sentence when he came up, and then stopped.
Colleagues in the audience who were in a fugue state suddenly sat up straight and waited for Chu Lihua's next words.
Chu Lihua smiled, this is the effect she wanted.
"Because they can't keep up with our progress, they still use their hands when we eat with a knife and fork. They didn't learn to use a knife and fork until we used chopsticks. They didn't learn to use chopsticks until we used chopsticks. We use chopsticks to eat hot pot. , can¡¯t enjoy this delicious food.¡±
"Chu Lihua, don't be grandstanding, when did the Chinese use knives and forks?"
Under the stage, some people were not convinced.
This is what Chu Lihua wanted.
"The earliest tableware used by the Chinese is a table knife, called a "dagger". It is a dagger! The pre-Qin bronze dagger unearthed in archeology has a flat and slightly concave front half, which can be used as a knife or a spoon. .
Why did this kind of tableware appear first? Because the earliest cooking methods of Chinese food were mainly boiled and baked. Why is this? It is mainly the ancient iron and steel casting technology, and the iron pot technology is not perfect. No iron pan was invented.
But barbecue is different, it has long been the overlord of Chinese food. Very early on, human beings have been able to make fire by drilling wood, so barbecue food has become their daily diet.
Just like the "burn" in the idiom "Won the Population", it is the pictograph for putting meat on the fire. Now that I have come to this point, let me say a word, what does the word "·¹" in "Won the Population" mean? "Shrimp" means shredded meat or fish.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was usually sliced ??raw fish. Today's Japanese love to eat sashimi. I wonder if it was influenced by the Tang Dynasty.
Sashimi and barbecue are the origin of the idiom "popular".
Later, why did the fork appear again? Probably because it is more convenient to eat barbecued meat with a fork. Bone forks were unearthed in the Qijia Cultural Site in Northwest China four thousand years ago. The use of knives and forks continued in our country until the Warring States Period.
The chopsticks that appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties were mainly used by the upper class nobles. Because the diet of the nobles has been refined, large pieces of ingredients have been divided into small pieces when making food, so that there is no need to cut with a knife and fork when eating, and just use chopsticks to put it in the mouth.
In ancient times, the less hands you have, the more noble you are, so the emergence of chopsticks is the result of the combined effect of hierarchical differentiation and refined food production.
The Zhou Dynasty formulated the etiquette laws of Chinese society, and the sharp knives and forks were not as elegant as chopsticks, and were abandoned by the etiquette laws. Elegant chopsticks have become a representative of advanced Chinese culture, widely recognized by neighboring countries, and have also entered the homes of ordinary people from the aristocratic class. The chopsticks used by the common people are mostly made of cheap bamboo or wood, so the character "óç" is the prefix of bamboo.
In addition, the fact that chopsticks have become the mainstream tableware in our country is also related to the characteristics of our country's farming civilization. Nomadic civilization is mainly carnivorous, and eating meat is inseparable from knives and forks; the staple food of farming civilization is not meat, but grain and vegetables. Whether noodles, rice, or stir-fried vegetables, it is more suitable to eat with chopsticks.
The ancient nomadic civilization also admired Chinese culture and learned to use chopsticks, but in practice they found that chopsticks could not handle the large pieces of meat they often ate. Later, the nomads used chopsticks and knives and forks together, and carried out improvements after the integration of civilizations. "
Chu Lihua finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at the audience quietly, although she couldn't see her face clearly at all.
"It was the pre-dinner dessert just now, so let's start the main meal now. Hello everyone, I am Chu Lihua from Tang Xue's group, and I am a person with poor eyesight. Of course, I must have caused everyone trouble at ordinary times. At this important moment. Excuse me For this opportunity, I would like to say thank you to everyone! Especially my manager - Tang Xue.
Well, you must be very curious. For people like me, apart from seeing things close, I don¡¯t know people who pass by me and don¡¯t say hello. What other amazing things could I do?
I believe that everyone must have waited for the subway, and at that time, almost everyone was playing with their mobile phones down. I am no exception right? No, I usually go to the waiting door, raise my phone, and call the camera. Note, I'm not here for selfies!
I will click on the zoom function and aim at the middle of the two doors.?? above, see where this subway goes. Just to make sure I don't waste time on the anti-subway.
However, uncertainty is often accompanied by surprise. Just then, the subway pulled into the station. Someone, who may have been in a hurry, rushed through the subway doors.
Fortunately, he ran up. Unfortunately, he was in a hurry and bumped into me and sent my phone flying.
No one noticed this except myself. People are getting on the subway one after another. Chu Lihua quickly lowered her head to look for her mobile phone, but within my line of sight, the mobile phone seemed to be invisible.
Suddenly, the "Dididi" prompt sounded, that's right! Will it be bumped into the subway?
But what if it's on the ground outside again, but I didn't see it?
Or, it fell into the gap of the subway track again?
what to do? !
For me, it is not just a mobile phone, not a tool that can be bought again if lost. It is my helper to see the world, the light on the way forward. Without it, where I'm going next, to who I'm connecting with. To me, it looks like the smog in Beijing, although there are outlines. However, it can never be grasped.
Just at this time, someone picked up a mobile phone and asked whose mobile phone it was. I yelled directly in the direction of the sound-my, my, my mobile phone is a silver gray with a transparent shell.
'Here is the shell, I see it. '
Another voice sounded.
The moment when two kind-hearted people delivered the separated mobile phone and the case to me, and pulled me into the subway with the last case, it was really thrilling! "
Chu Lihua couldn't control her emotions and shed tears.
Below, someone began to wipe away tears, and there was a colleague of Chu Lihua who couldn't find who it was afterwards, and brought a tissue to wipe Chu Lihua's tears. He also hugged her by the way.
"Thank you everyone, I'm done."
After a while, Chu Lihua adjusted her mood and bowed deeply to the audience.
There was thunderous applause from the audience. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
