think

highly

of

food

because

of

the

huge

population

and

poor

labor

force.

As

the

saying

goes

"

Food

is

the

first

thing

for

people".

If

a

culture

put

food

first,

it

will

turn

up

two

phenomenas.

For

one

thing,

people

will

care

about

the

function

of

food

to

use

it

to

stay

healthy;

For

another,

people

will

think

highly

of

delicacy.

In

China,

people

pursue

the

flavor

of

the

food

and

it

is

the

key

reason

why

Chinese

food

has

special

glamour.

The

produce

of

delicious

food

lies

in

mixing

with

a

variety

of

seasoning.

Many

of

traditional

food

are

boiled

and

fried

a

long

time.

As

a

result,

the

nutrients

of

food

run

off

during

the

cooking

process.
