"100 points, 100 points, an unprecedented perfect score." The host was so excited that he was incoherent and said: "Now everyone wants to know what this bowl of curry cooked with famous paintings tastes like? It's a pity that everyone has no chance to taste it.
, but this day will definitely go down in history.”
The judges also said: "Yes, no one will forget today. As the queen of curry, I will also always remember that the taste of curry can penetrate so deeply into the soul."
"The reception was poor." Dulan finally took away the boy's lines.
So Duran, Kohahayama, Ryo Kurokiba, and Soma Yukihira became the champions of Group A. Group B were Alice Nakiri, Higurashi Nito, Megumi Tadokoro, and Takumi.
Eight players will participate in the eight-to-four promotion round.
The famous painting of boiled curry also spread quickly around the world, causing a lot of condemnation. However, it didn't matter within the island country. After all, these had nothing to do with ordinary people. Ordinary people only need to protect their own etiquette and ignore the games of those nobles.
If the noble is really wrong, just come out with "Private Marseille".
You must protect your own etiquette and not cause trouble to the nobles. If you cause trouble to the nobles, the nobles will cause trouble to you next time.
Therefore, it is best to keep the distinction between Jingwei and Jingwei clearly, so that the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.
But foreigners couldn't help it and thought that Duran was simply crazy. He used famous Western paintings as firewood to cook curry. What did he mean? Is food more important than art?
Of course, some people support Duran, saying: "Food is the most important thing for the people, and art is just a container for capital. Many paintings are not worth that much money at all. It is because capital needs to preserve its value that artworks are hyped. Art is not that valuable at all.
Importantly, if you are hungry, a bowl of curry is more important than a hundred famous paintings."
During the Renaissance, several port city-states gained an important position in Mediterranean trade. At that time, the Crusades, transporting supplies from the rear and transporting spoils from the front, all had to pass through here. Local nobles and merchants received a large amount of funds.
But the problem is that they have money and cannot expand their territory. Although the surrounding area was in chaos at the time, several surrounding forces were very capable of fighting.
As a result, more and more money will inevitably lead to inflation and the money will become less and less valuable. In order to solve this problem, a capital container is needed.
Art became this container, and the so-called Renaissance began. Everyone sought after artists, and the price of art also increased.
But no matter how high the price of art is, it will eventually collapse. Moreover, at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the first generation who obtained the gold of the New World held high the banner of religion and struck out with heavy blows, causing several city-states to reveal their prototypes.
returned to its place in history.
Then the sun never sets on the first generation, who are getting richer and richer. Instead of investing in art, they invest in religion, establish the Inquisition, and expand externally. They have economic hegemony on one hand and military hegemony on the other.
Of course, art is just the beginning, and there will be tulip traps and so on. Because you have a lot of money, you have to look for containers to preserve value, but none of them can hold on and they all collapse.
The only one who made a successful investment was probably the second-generation Sun Never Sets, which promoted the Industrial Revolution. However, the Industrial Revolution soon encountered problems, that is, there was too much money, and it could not push forward technological upgrades.
With more money, part of it goes to scientific research, but a larger part still goes to find capital containers. And if the bottles and cans that hold capital are expensive, it will be difficult to break the bottles and cans.
Bottles and cans are capital containers. To upgrade technology, we need to break the old cans and replace them with new ones. But if the old cans are more expensive than the new cans, how to replace them? Then it is really like a dog with a golden nest and a silver nest.
Kennels, because doghouses have been blown into art and become extremely expensive works of art, and no one can take over them.
So the second industrial revolution happened in other countries, and they were still backward European countries. Because they had no money, the bottles and cans at home were very cheap. If they were broken, they could just replace them.
So making money is only the first step. How to maintain value after making money is also a big problem. It is impossible for everyone to do scientific research. There are not so many scientific research talents, and there are not so many scientific research directions.
Most countries will choose military, which is also the most common method of military hegemony and economic hegemony in ancient times. Economic hegemony makes money, and military hegemony converts money into assets, that is, grabbing land.
Or just find a capital container, raise the price of this container to the sky, and keep looking for others to take over. When the price collapses, the wealth disappearing technique will appear. In fact, the wealth is concentrated again, but this wealth must also be preserved, so
Start the next theme and continue to speculate. However, in this process, wealth is becoming more and more concentrated, and at the same time, bottles and cans are becoming more and more expensive, making it increasingly difficult to promote upgrades.
Of course, another situation is land annexation. If you have money, you will buy land. Eventually, the land will become more and more concentrated, and your capital will be stabilized through the output of the land.
So is art really that expensive? Absolutely not. Art has value, but the greatest value is a container of capital. The same is true for gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. In troubled times, what is seen is irreplaceable hard currency, but in prosperous times, gold is seen as irreplaceable hard currency.
Capital container.
Duran burned a lot of capital containers and broke the bottles. In fact, he can choose new artists to fill them. After all, every era can have its own artists, and it is not necessary to pursue those ancient celebrities.
Capital will naturally find its own container. Even food that is closely related to the people can increase in price to the point where it is unaffordable.
This is the inevitable result of capital intensification, because the more money you have, the less valuable it is. No one wants their money to be worthless, so they must preserve its value. This is an inevitable worry.
For the country, making too much money will inevitably lead to more and more expensive bottles and cans, and it will become more and more difficult to upgrade technology. In the end, it will be overtaken by late-developing countries.
The so-called dynasty cycle law is actually this problem. All kinds of costs are too expensive, money is becoming more and more concentrated, and land is becoming more and more concentrated. Bottles and cans are becoming more and more expensive, and the ability to solve social problems is getting weaker and weaker. In the end,
Break the bottles and cans into pieces through war and replace them with new ones.
Of course, these have nothing to do with cooking, they just explain why art is so expensive. And who is more valuable, art or a bowl of curry.
In the stage of making money, curry is valuable. In the stage of preserving value, works of art are more valuable. Things that maintain value need to be recyclable and easy to find a new home. In food, alcohol and food can become capital containers.
Other fruits and vegetables are either difficult to preserve or difficult to transport, making them unsuitable as capital containers.
Dulan's curry sparked a lot of discussion, and naturally some people thought of Meixi's burning of mulberry wood, tearing silk, Daji's wine pond and meat forest, etc. This kind of crazy behavior is always associated with the omen of the country's subjugation, which is the extravagance of the powerful.
Performance.
"This is simply like 'the rich have endless fields, and the poor have no place to stand'. How much curry can be exchanged for a famous painting worth millions? How many people can be fed? Is Duran going to burn it? Is he crazy? This is going to subjugate the country.
The world is dead."
"But I think a bowl of curry is more valuable than a famous painting."
"What are your values? Curry is curry, and a dozen dollars is not bad. Famous paintings record the artist's inspiration and are the wealth of all mankind."
"But the inspiration of artists cannot be fed. Many artists died in poverty. On the contrary, their paintings are valuable after their death. I think if someone exchanged curry for their paintings, they would definitely be willing.
They definitely don’t think that their paintings are worth tens of millions, and it’s good if they can have enough to eat. Why is their inspiration not valuable when they are alive, but valuable when they are dead? Does it mean that inspiration also ferments over time?”
"Yes, inspiration must pass the test of time and become more and more valuable."
"You are unreasonable."
Dulan watched the discussion and said that values need reference. After all, values are what distinguish us from them. Different people have different values. The more we discuss, the clearer it becomes.
