What does "The Shame of Eating" say?

This article is about Mo Yan's visit to Beijing. As a stranger in a foreign country, he was born in the countryside and ate a lot, which led him to sit at the same table at the dinner party, or invited him to dinner and told some jokes that he thought were slightly "discriminatory".

Go to a restaurant to eat cold noodles, please the dog in the shop kindly, throw a piece of meat, but be scolded by the dog barking. People are foreign purebred expensive dogs, and they only eat compound feed, so they can't feed them casually.

I was scolded for being kind, apologized against my will, and even abandoned the cold noodles.

Back to the dormitory, I met a kind classmate and invited me to eat carrots, vermicelli and meat, which I didn't appreciate for a long time. Soon, I had a little friction with that friend. The carrots that didn't get up this meal became French, the beef was American and the caviar was Soviet, which made the author feel helpless and ashamed.

Eating what others invite is said to be "putting all your eggs in one basket".

Those who pay by themselves are said to "eat out!"

After listening to my old mother's words, I ate cakes and porridge, and then I came to equip myself. Finally, I stopped being "desperate" and became "Jia Baoyu".

I can really imagine the author's speechless mood at that time.

Finally, it was his old mother who revealed the secret. Why look at other people's faces, listen to others, eat if you want, and eating fat is a blessing.

When she was young, she was so hungry that she was beaten for stealing horse feed from the production team. When the author's aunt was extremely hungry, she even took leftover noodles out of the leper's bowl for fear of being scolded.

People don't tell others what to do until they have had enough to eat and drink.
