Bilson: National first-class chef, head chef of a five-star hotel on Huanshi Road, Guangzhou.
When Bilson was young, he invited chefs from star rated hotels in northern China such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Harbin, and Beijing. He had encountered chefs from different cuisines and had great insights into the dietary and dietary habits of people from both North and South.
The conversation starts with the main Cantonese cuisine of his hotel; Started. Bilson stated that after autumn this year (referring to 2004), there was little rain and severe drought in Guangdong, making it unsuitable to replenish a large amount. The nourishing dishes made by the hotel also focused on clearing and tonifying, such as mild soup dishes such as stewed lean meat with cistanche and sea cucumber, stewed sugar with ginseng and rehmannia, and black chicken soup with walnut and goat meat.
I have been a chef for many years. In the Guangdong region, men's autumn and winter supplements focus on strengthening the kidney and yang. In the soup ingredients, we usually prepare medicinal herbs such as Beiqi, Dangshen, Angelica, goji, jujube, etc. The ingredients include walnuts, peanuts, soybeans, black beans, whips, lamb, black chickens, dried seafood, etc. Women value nourishing yin and beauty, and it is recommended to eat bird's nest, glue, clams, etc.
Bilson took thick notes while speaking, recording many recipes; When it comes to nourishing soup and meals for men and women, I have many, including handsome male style soup, strong man soup, lady soup, and noble consort soup; The ingredients of these dishes are not only what was mentioned earlier, but the names of the dishes are also very provocative, and I can't help but laugh.
Actually, these are all dish names from a few years ago, and now our food industry does not advocate naming dishes like this. One dislikes being popular, and the other is being tacky, at least not being a high-end hotel. We advocate that the dish name can represent the main ingredients and effects of the dish. For example, deer tail bamboo silk soup (nourishing yin, impotence, and weak tongue) can be supplemented with warm foods such as lamb melon, dog meat, beef, trouble, and shrimp. For healthy people, it is important to balance their diet and eat high protein foods, supplemented with goji berries, yams, and polygonatum.
Reporter: How should we adjust when newlyweds, long goodbye, and holidays are frequent for men and women?
Wang: Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to physical adjustment and frequently consumes physical energy during sexual activity. During this period, it is advisable to eat more beef and mutton, dog meat, sparrow eggs, shrimp, eel, oysters, walnuts, etc. If Tonic Diet is used for nourishment, Cistanche deserticola, Polygonum multiflorum and Rosa laevigata are used to cook Congee with japonica rice, or Chinese medicines such as cordyceps sinensis and medlar are used to cook Congee with daily food.
Reporter: Traditional Chinese medicine has different understandings of gender and adjustment, right?
Wang: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that men are prone to damage, while women are prone to blood damage. Whether in daily life or sexual activity, men consume more physical energy than women, and semen loss also results in loss of protein, prostaglandins, and trace elements (zinc). Prostaglandins have multiple physiological functions and affect multiple systems throughout the body. Zinc is a component of various proteins in the human body, and research has shown that appropriate supplementation of zinc helps to generate semen. However, women often lose blood regularly every month due to menstruation. Once menstruation prolongs and menstrual volume increases, these phenomena can easily lead to anemia. Of course, the concepts of essence deficiency and blood deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine cannot be simply equated with semen loss and anemia, but they are closely related.
Reporter: There is a saying in the folk that there are shapes to supplement, which has led to the consumption of animal testes, kidneys, and placentas for aphrodisiac function
This statement comes from the famous doctor Sun Si of the Tang Dynasty; At that time, Sun Siduan used sheep's thyroid gland to treat patients with thyroid enlargement and achieved good results. In later generations, several traditional Chinese medicines were added to animal organs to treat organ diseases in the human body, such as sheep kidney with goji berries, ripe ground, and halberd. Although these uses are popular among the people, according to my personal understanding, they are not widely used in the industry.
Reporter: Many men always want to eat food and supplements. Is it possible for them to be powerful and invincible?
Wang: Sexual activity is not only the activity of the sexual organs, but also a response to overall functional health. Food and supplements make the body strong or mentally excited, coupled with self psychological cues, giving these foods naturally results in good sexual performance. However, in reality, there is no aphrodisiac. In addition, this practice can be done occasionally and cannot be continued. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to overall health. I remember one year I went to Guangdong to hold an academic conference. During this period, a boss approached me and asked me to give him a prescription for immortality. In addition to his wife, he also had three lovers. In the end, I didn't agree to him, just told him the principles of traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation.
