Is bean curd jelly served with sauce sweet or salty? This topic always sparks heated discussions whenever it appears online. I didn't expect to collide head-on with this debate after I joined the company. The company canteen provides bean curd jelly served with sauce for breakfast all the year round, while the officers and soldiers have their own sweet and salty tastes. Those who pour red sugar sauce, those who drizzle soy sauce and spicy seeds, those who sprinkle shrimp skin and seaweed... everyone says "it's okay", but makes different choices according to their own tastes. "The bean curd jelly served with sauce in our place must be matched with leek cauliflower!" Northeast soldier Da Liu has a loud voice. "Sweet tofu pudding is the authentic way to eat!" Guangdong soldier Xiao Chen speaks fast. Is sweet delicious or salty delicious? You said it The lawsuit came to me, and looking at their appearance, I couldn't help but feel both amused and emotional: it's not just a taste preference, but also a collision of homesickness. It's not difficult to prepare one serving of sweet and salty seasonings each, but this is just a temporary solution without addressing the root cause, and the problem has not been solved. So I decided to resolve the conflict in another way - take them to make bean curd jelly served with sauce with some bittern. One morning, I changed the meeting place from the study room to the cooking class. The officers and soldiers gathered around the stove early on, quietly discussing the various ingredients. I took out a bucket of "secret soybean milk" and pretended to be mysterious, saying: "Today, the condiments are freely matched, but you must use the soybean milk I provided." "Instructor, your soybean milk will not be mixed with" comradeship ", right?" Lao Li, the head of the cooking team, teased, causing everyone to laugh. I sold a trick: "What have you added? Try it. Guess." Soon it was time to add some bittern. Two bowls of snow white bean curd jelly served with sauce curd congealed smoothly. Xiao Chen couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful into his mouth. He smacked and said, "Nothing has been added, but it is strange and tender, as if it is a little sweet?". "" Got it! You want to talk about unity again! "Lao Li pretended to shake his head, but the corners of his mouth rose. After that day, I often used similar small things to reason with the officers and soldiers. When helping with the kitchen, I followed the Northwest Military Academy to fry spicy food and accompanied soldiers from Jiangnan to boil syrup; During rest, discuss coconut varieties with soldiers from Hainan and listen to Northeastern comrades say where rice tastes better; After the night training, we talked about the bean curd jelly served with sauce in our hometown, the breakfast stand on the street... Gradually, the voice of the argument "sweet and salty" was reduced, and the cooking class had more "fusion school". In an education class, an old soldier jokingly said: "Your original bean curd jelly served with sauce is really learning!" I waved: "It's better to be distracted than to be learned. Although the original bean curd jelly served with sauce is weak, it can bear all tastes. Just like our company, we don't want to be stereotyped, but we have to be tolerant and respectful." A bowl of bean curd jelly served with sauce can taste the taste of "home". This "storm" about bean curd jelly served with sauce made me understand that integration is not forced reconciliation, but to sincerely accept differences and achieve tolerance through respect. When the homesickness of the soldiers quietly melted in soybean milk, the heat of the big pot had also become the temperature of home. (New Society)
