Deep-fried peanut beansMa Shilong is too cold, there is nothing to do at home, drink a little wine, with a plate of fried peanuts and beans, pour yourself a drink, very comfortable, life is wonderful.
In fact, eating peanuts and beans is also particular. If you pour yourself a drink, when you pick peanuts with chopsticks, you accidentally fall to the ground and have to take them with your hands and put them in your mouth, which is not inappropriate.
At the formal banquet, when the peanut beans are clamped, the peanut beans fall on the table, and no one uses chopsticks to pick them up and send them to the mouth, because of the face problem.
The first time I saw peanuts fall to the ground and eat them was 45 years ago.
During the Spring Festival winter vacation in 1979, my classmate Li Jingyang invited me to his house in Nanyang City to play. At that time, Jingyang's family lived in front of the Nanzhai Wall, which is now the Muslim Street west of the Nanyang Cigarette Factory. At noon, Jingyang's parents entertained me for dinner, and when his father Li Tongbai was clipping peanuts, the peanuts accidentally fell to the ground and rolled a long way, and finally he found them and ate them. At that time, I admired the frugality of the older generation.
Another time, when I was working in Yunyang Iron and Steel Plant, I invited my colleague Mr. Tian Desheng to drink, and when I was picking peanuts, I accidentally dropped the peanut beans on the ground. When Mr. Tian saw it, he said, "If my peanuts fall to the ground in a while, I will have to take them and eat them." He was talking about humor, but I was stunned for a moment, thinking that what I was doing was really inappropriate, so what did the guest do next?
In fact, reason is dead, but things are alive.
If there are seven or eight people at a banquet, the guest of honor is the secretary, the mayor, or a well-known writer, a well-known painter, or a friend from afar, an elder and other distinguished guests, and when they pick peanuts and the peanuts fall on the table, they take them and eat them, this is a kind of nobility, a kind of taste, will be called an anecdote, and it will be passed down as a good story. And the escort who sits at the bottom of the table, if he wants to do this, it is a gaffe, a kind of shame and conspicuousness, and a kind of dog meat that can't be on the table.
I have been to many banquets with the great writer Qin Jun, and I have sat side by side many times, he fell on the table when he picked peanuts, and then picked them up with his hands and ate them.
Contemptible people follow the customs, shoot and eat when they should be taken, and give up when they should give up.
However, now that human beings have progressed, when eating peanuts and beans at home in Guangzhou, I still took them up and ate them, and my three-year-old granddaughter said to me after seeing them, the kindergarten teacher said that peanuts fell on the ground and could not be eaten, so it was unhygienic to eat.
I have lived to be more than 60 years old this year, I have suffered since I was a child, I have eaten leftovers and rancid vegetables for decades, and I have never given up on the peanuts and beans that have fallen on the ground at home, no matter which corner I roll to, I must find and eat them, otherwise I will be restless and restless, and I will not be able to eat this meal. I'm so unhygienic, and I'm still in good health.
However, having been educated by a three-year-old today, it seems that I need to change my mindset when I live to learn all the time.
However, when people are old, the bones that are generated grow into flesh, people's hearts are difficult to change, and the mountains and rivers are difficult to change, if I really get rid of bad habits, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult!
