Chapter 560 "A Fantasy Journey of Food"(3/3)
Tao Yushu knew that he was trying to comfort him, but he deliberately made things difficult for him.
Lin Chaoyang didn't panic, held the plump hand, and whispered in her ear, "Then let me explain this 'big' problem to you!"
Early the next morning, Tao Yumo yawned and walked out of the room. Tao Yushu was eating breakfast with a glowing face.
Seeing her coming out, he said:
"Come over for dinner and let's talk about the listing."
Tao Yumo:?
"What are you doing standing still? Come here!" Tao Yushu urged.
Last night, after a night of "enlightenment" by Lin Chaoyang, she realized that everyone has their own strengths, and she could not always compare her own shortcomings with the strengths of others.
Tao Yumo had just woken up and had not yet recovered from his sleep. He was called to the dining table and listened to her talk about the listing plan and future prospects for a long time——···——·
"Sister, didn't I tell you? It's not going public anymore! And didn't you say last night that going public would be a lot of trouble?"
"Everything has pros and cons. I didn't think carefully last night and only thought about the bad things.
The company is doing so well now, so there’s nothing wrong with going public. We can just take this opportunity to grow bigger and stronger!”
Tao Yumo shook his head, "You don't need to make it big, I feel like I can't handle it now."
"No future!" Tao Yushu scolded her.
"Yes, yes, I am worthless, as you always teach me."
It is better to do less than to do more. Tao Yumo gave up decisively, "You——" Tao Yushu glared at his sister angrily, and finally said helplessly: "Forget it, you decide for yourself."
Just at this moment, Lin Chaoyang appeared in the restaurant with dark circles under his eyes and yawning all day long. Tao Yumo looked at his sluggishness, then looked at his sister's rosy face, thoughtfully.
"What are you looking at?" Tao Yushu asked.
"nothing."
Tao Yumo said something and immediately ran away.
A woman with plenty of ammunition is scary!
After breakfast, Tao Yushu was getting ready to go to work, and he did not forget to tell Lin Chaoyang, "When you pick up someone, please arrange to go to the Peninsula Hotel. I have arranged a reception banquet in the evening."
"Judith is here for publication. There is no need for you to come forward. I will just entertain you."
"It's okay. There happens to be a food show on the TV station. She has been doing a compilation of food from various countries for many years. She and I can learn from it."
"That's okay."
The "person" Tao Yushu mentioned was Judith Jones. She made a special trip to Xiangjiang to discuss the publication of "A Bite of China" with Lin Chaoyang.
The "A Bite of China" column was published in The New Yorker in late June, one article per week, and a total of 15 articles were published.
During the publication period, the article received rave reviews from the American cultural circles and readers, and caused a great response.
"A Bite of China" is different from ordinary food column articles. It seems to be about food, but it is actually about humanistic feelings, historical development, and social changes.
This unique style has been unanimously praised by the American intellectual class.
The New York Times published an article praising Lin Chaoyang for "writing like a master."
A review in Book Review magazine stated:
Lin Chaoyang introduced the selection of ingredients, cooking techniques, dietary etiquette, as well as the historical inheritance, regional characteristics, family stories behind the food, etc. in a skillful and elegant way.
It enables readers to have a more comprehensive and in-depth knowledge and understanding of Chinese food culture. It no longer just stops at the level of "eating", but gives food an unprecedented connotation with rich humanistic care.
The Atlantic Monthly, which is as famous as the New Yorker in the American cultural world, wrote:
"The real fascination of "A Bite of China" is not the food itself, but the way food and people's lives intersect with each other.
It is not only about filling your stomach, but also about family gathering around a steaming hot pot. Generations share stories and laughter, and the boiling soup base becomes a container for shared memories.
It's about the grandmother who carefully cooks special dishes for her grandchildren, passing down recipes that are passed down from generation to generation like precious heirlooms.
In the world depicted in A Bite of China, food is the thread that weaves the tapestry of life, tightly connecting people to their roots, their communities and their pasts."
The critical acclaim from the cultural community and readers alike has been reflected in sales, allowing The New Yorker to publish
Sales have been rising.
By September 23, the "A Bite of China" column had been running for three months, and it was also the day when the last article of the column, "Three Meals," was published.
