For example, for the authentic Laotan Pickled Cabbage Noodles, adding the word "authentic" means that it comes down from the "zong", that is to say, this is not some glamorous bitch from the outside, this is a direct lineage inheritance from the source.
Regarding this word, Mr. Zhang said this:
"Back then, after I surpassed my brothers, teachers, and many ancient masters, I was confused and confused for a period of time. I didn't know where to go next, and I didn't know if I was already on the right path.
At a higher peak stage, if you go up further, there may not be much room for improvement."
"I am really confused as a teacher." The old man said lightly, "This is the same in any industry. The lower you are, the greater the room for improvement and the less difficult it is to improve. In short, hard work can always
Equivalent to gains, even a small amount of effort can lead to huge gains. But the further you go up, the more the two poles of the balance will exchange positions little by little, until they are completely reversed."
"When I get to the point where I become a teacher, many times I only see the effort but not the slightest gain."
Xu Guangling nodded.
He did not have the experience of standing at the pinnacle of an industry like Mr. Zhang, but he still had similar feelings when he was in school, from himself and others. It is easy to improve from 60 to 70, and 70 to 70.
It's a bit difficult to improve to eighty points.
It is not easy to raise eighty points to ninety points, and it is not easy to raise ninety points to ninety-five points... It can be said that it is no longer something that can be achieved simply by working hard.
There is a term in psychology called "diminishing marginal effect".
When you are very hungry, you will feel the greatest sense of satisfaction and happiness when you eat the first steamed bun. Then the more you eat, the better feeling will become lower and lower, until finally, it is as low as zero, or even as low as negative.
This is also the reason why Chinese people pay attention to eating eight times full, drinking eight times full, etc. People who don't know may think this is "pedantic", and those who know less will think it leaves room for doing things, but only if you know it
Only in the end will you understand that what is involved is actually the diminishing marginal effect.
This term was proposed by the West, and it was proposed not long ago, but in ancient China, a long time ago, there was a saying called "things must be reversed when they reach their extremes".
The extremes of things must reverse include the marginal diminishing effect, and also include another side that is not revealed by the marginal diminishing effect, that is, after breaking through a certain margin, the effect will not only decay to zero, but will continue downward from zero.
Is it okay to eat until you are eighty percent full, nine percent full, ten percent full, eleven percent full, or twelve percent full?
Can.
But it’s really not worthwhile.
On the one hand, this kind of overfullness does not actually bring more wonderful experiences. On the other hand, it also lowers expectations for the next meal, not to mention the non-psychological aspects of the body. Overfullness is harmful to the body.
It's definitely not good for your body.
This is true for eating, the same is true for sleeping, and it is true for many other aspects!
Moderation is not for the sake of being pure and abstinent, on the contrary, moderation is for enjoying more and enjoying better! This is the most beneficial and cost-effective method.
If you are tired of life, feel unchanging, lack expectations, feel like a pool of stagnant water, and so on, you only need to exercise a little restraint and start with the most basic diet and sleep. Eat 80% full, sleep 80% well, and then
You will find that everything else will follow suit.
In Xu Guangling's casual thoughts, Mr. Zhang continued his explanation: "These were the two paths that appeared in front of me as a teacher at that time. One path was to continue to concentrate on the research of medical skills, but did not know where to improve.
As a teacher, I don’t care too much about how much you pay. The problem is that the rewards must be very little, or even none at all, but this is conceivable.”
"The other way is to live like a dog in the world."
Mr. Zhang said with a faint smile on his face. It was neither proud nor ashamed, but an expression that seemed to be extremely neutral. "I am humble, I am not afraid to boast in front of you.
Although my medical skills at that time were far behind those of later years, compared to my peers, compared to Kyushu, and all over the world, I was already claiming to be the second best, and no one dared to claim to be the first."
When any industry reaches its peak, the circle will be very small.
And in that very small circle, no one dares to claim to be first despite claiming to be second...
Thinking about the scene, Xu Guangling also yearned for it, so he praised the teacher at the right time. He gave a thumbs up and said: "Teacher, you are awesome!"
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen both laughed. The smile on Mr. Zhang's face deepened, and then he said: "Medical skills are still very useful. If a cook is the best, he can only be an imperial cook at the most. His medical skills are at the pinnacle, but...
You can't just be a royal doctor."
Xu Guangling didn't understand the specifics, but he had a general idea.
In ancient China, starting from Qin Shihuang, alchemists, Taoist priests, warlocks and the like have always played a special role in the upper class of society. Through history, ordinary people may think of them as "clowns" or roles similar to clowns, but if
To understand more, as long as you know that these people were not only active in the era of "faint kings", but also in the era of "bright kings", you will know that there are many obscurities and taboos in them, and it is difficult for the world to know the truth.
As we enter modern times and the "light of science" shines in, does this phenomenon cease to exist?
Xu Guangling didn't believe it.
In ancient times, during the long period of thousands of years, in the social superstructure from generation to generation, it is unreasonable and extremely unreasonable to say that so many monarchs and ministers were fools! It can only be said that many things
, ordinary people cannot come into contact with it, and they have no chance to see it.
There have always been low-level people, tricks and tricks, but in addition to low-level people, there must be high-level people!
And what do those alchemists, Taoists, warlocks and the like rely on?
Seventy-eight points of it are related to medicine.
So Xu Guangling nodded again. His medical skills were at their peak, and he could indeed be more than just an imperial doctor.
"When I was a teacher, it was true that there were great Confucian scholars in our conversations and no interactions with me." Mr. Zhang smiled lightly. Of course, the "Hongru Confucian scholar" in his words at this time was definitely not the original meaning of this sentence. "Later, you, Master Chen,
The top of my head opened, and then this shameless old guy showed off his skills in front of my master, or as you young people would say, he showed off his skills."
Being called Master Chen, being called shameless, and being called an old guy. Three words in a row. Mr. Chen was actually surprisingly good-tempered at this time, with a smile on his face, and even a very proud smile.
.
"He was in his teacher's study. Of course, it was not this study. He read hundreds of books a day, and he read them all and recited them."
