Should dumplings be dipped in vinegar?

It is said that in a village, people never dip their dumplings in vinegar. The reason is very simple. The people in the village are short-sighted and do not know that there is such a thing as vinegar in the world. This bad situation existed for a long time. Finally, a migrant worker returned to his hometown and told everyone that eating dumplings should be dipped in vinegar. The village chief didn't feel very good after hearing such words, because he secretly felt that eating dumplings dipped in vinegar was a treasonous and unethical thing, but as to how "unethical" this "treason" was, he was not sure, so A village committee meeting was held to discuss the issue of eating dumplings dipped in vinegar. So, people in the village began to speak: Old Zhangtou from Dongcunkou said: "We have eaten dumplings for several lifetimes without dipping them in vinegar. History has proven that it is correct to eat dumplings without dipping them in vinegar." Wang Tou said: "The issue of eating dumplings dipped in vinegar is actually a philosophical question. We have to figure out whether we are eating dumplings or vinegar. If we are eating dumplings dipped in vinegar, can we still eat dumplings? I think You must be cautious on this issue!" "My father is right!" Lao Wangtou's wife also joined in: "I have heard of jealousy before. Do you know that 'jealousy' is a sarcastic expression? In human terms, if we eat dumplings dipped in vinegar, then we are actually jealous, and people in other villages will laugh at us. Although our village has become poorer over the years, no one can say anything about our conduct. No, we can't lose all our lives for this matter." Old Guotou from Nancunkou took a puff of dry cigarette, nodded silently, and said, "My sister-in-law's words are reasonable. The issue of vinegar is a matter of principle. , as long as we open the door and let everyone dip it in vinegar, will someone still dip it in the chive flowers tomorrow? If the source is not good, I think there will be trouble sooner or later! For Wan Bu, jealousy is something you have to buy with money. Our village is so poor and we don’t even have food and clothing. How can we start to be jealous again?” When Old Zhaotou from Beicunkou heard this, he clapped his hands and said, He spat thick phlegm on the ground and said: "That's right! Things from other places are not fucking things. What are dumplings? How many generations have our ancestors eaten for generations? People outside make a whole thing of dipping it in vinegar. I see They are insulting the culture of our village. This is called "cultural invasion"! I think we should not only avoid being jealous, but also resist and protest. Tomorrow I will take our second and third sons to the entrance of the village! Hold up the slogan and express the position of our village!" After listening to everyone's speeches, the village chief calmed down and began a lengthy summary. The accountant of the village committee was the record-keeper of the meeting. His record was as follows: In his speech, Comrade Village Chief affirmed the opinions of several elders. He pointed out that the issue of jealousy is a major matter related to the well-being of the people in the village. , requires all village leaders to attach great importance to it and study it carefully. Facts have proved that at this stage, the people of this village are not suitable for eating dumplings with vinegar. This is due to the social environment, economic environment, social composition, values, and historical traditions of the village. Determined, society is progressing and the times are developing, but foreign countries are not peaceful. When it comes to issues involving foreign culture, we must be cautious, vigilant, and adhere to principles. Eating dumplings is a manifestation of the right to survive. If you can't even eat dumplings, how can you talk about dipping them in vinegar? The most important issue in the village at present is food and clothing, not vinegar. Therefore, the village committee decided not to allow the villagers to dip vinegar when eating dumplings, nor to allow vinegar, soy sauce, chive flowers, garlic and other substances to flow into the village. At the same time, the village chief asked the village cadres to take effective responsibilities and educate and guide the villagers in their own villages. They should tell them that vinegar is a living habit of foreigners. If the people in this village copy the habits of foreigners, they will be punished. There will definitely be trouble, and the hundreds of years of development achievements of this village will be in vain. As we all know, there is only one way to eat dumplings in the world, which is to eat them dry. If someone preaches the "dumplings dipped in vinegar theory", then he is If there are ulterior motives, we must unite, resolutely resist, and never condone or condone them! So, starting from the next day, no one mentioned the debate about eating dumplings dipped in vinegar, and the whole village became peaceful and harmonious again. The village committee later set up a special committee to review things from other places. From stinky tofu to tahini, everything is not spared. Several years have passed. Newspapers, television, and the Internet have become popular among villagers. However, the village committee still insists on not making villagers jealous. More than 20 years later, they finally implemented a new policy-allowing villagers to eat Dip the dumplings in yellow sauce - this incident caused a great sensation in the village.

The accountant in the village is still engaged in his old business. In the bulletin column at the entrance of the village, the old accountant wrote excitedly: Allowing dumplings to be dipped in yellow sauce shows the determination and confidence of the village committee to integrate into the social trend, and shows the leadership of the village. Confidence and courage, this is a huge progress, reflecting the courage of our village to climb the peak and fight against the storm. The village leaders are indeed the trendsetters of the times! At that time, Lao Zhaotou from Beicunkou was still alive. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help lamenting that "the world is deteriorating, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and each generation is inferior to the previous one." Even though he was getting stronger, he still took his two sons and three sons to the entrance of the village to hold a ceremony. A slogan was raised to resolutely boycott eating dumplings dipped in yellow sauce. "Hero! You have such integrity!" When the villagers saw such a feat, they all praised...
