金華大廚援非收徒弟

郎擎宇

在金華，80后的樓師傅——樓洪亮小有名氣。他是金華廣播電視大學烹飪專業的老師，是國家級烹飪名師，也是婺式點心非物質文化遺產傳承人。去年11月底，他隨金華職業技術學院（以下簡稱金職院）教師團隊來到位于盧旺達北方省的穆桑澤職業技術學校，在那度過了一段難忘的援非時光。

黃豆變身 學員看傻眼

經過14個小時的飛行，樓洪亮與朱墨池、王新潔等兩位老師抵達了有著“千丘之國”之稱的東非國家盧旺達。雖然中國在當地援建了穆桑澤職業技術學校，但由于師資缺乏，學校的專業設置并不能滿足當地的發展需求。“授人以魚，不如授人以漁”，2017年7月，金職院同穆桑澤職業技術學校合作成立了穆桑澤國際學院。根據盧方提出的要求，金職院派出了通信與網絡技術、綠色食品生產與檢驗、烹飪等三個專業的首批援非教師。他們需要為包括穆桑澤職業技術學校在內的8所盧旺達職業技術學校進行師資培訓以及相關專業建設。

雖然生活并不富裕，還面臨著瘧疾等傳染病的威脅，但當地人對教育十分重視，大大小小的學校都有當地最好的建筑，這給樓洪亮留下了深刻的印象。樓洪亮回憶，李小龍、成龍等武打明星以及中國美食是許多盧旺達人對中國的最深印象。中餐和中餐館在當地屬于高端的菜系和餐飲場所，受到當地人的廣泛歡迎。

在學校里，樓洪亮負責教授3個班100多名學員。“課余時間，盧旺達師生們也在刻苦練習，經常到了夜晚還有學員來請教問題。他們的學習熱情感染了我。”樓洪亮說。

每周一、三、五授課，二、四助學走訪，周末下企業指導，緊張的節奏成為樓洪亮援非生活的常態。每次授課都會由一節理論課和三節操作課組成。實際操作對于樓洪亮來說駕輕就熟，但如何“中為洋用”，讓許多第一次接觸中式烹飪的學員認識和掌握中餐特有的食材和烹飪技巧，成為他最頭疼的問題。

“備課占據了我絕大部分精力，一天的課程通常需要花兩天時間準備。”樓洪亮使出渾身解數，找到中英、中法翻譯，為數十種原料配上圖片，為了表達準確，有時他還要借助化學名。除了制作教案，課前樓洪亮還要提前制作一遍菜品，請同事用照片和視頻記錄下制作過程，以便盧旺達師生能反復觀看學習。

在盧旺達三個月的時間，樓洪亮主要教當地烹飪教師開展中餐家常菜肴和點心的制作。在所有中國菜里，豆腐制作最讓非洲學員感到驚訝。“黃豆為什么可以變成多種多樣的豆制品，為什么一會可以變成豆腐皮，一會又可以變成豆漿、豆腐腦、嫩豆腐、老豆腐、豆腐干？”學員們在學習過程中一直感嘆中國菜的變化太多，幾顆黃豆就有如此多的變化。因此，不時傳出的驚呼聲常常成為課堂上有趣的插曲。

當地烹飪專業老師亨利對這位來自中國的大廚贊譽有加：“跟著中國老師學習很有收獲。我希望能把中國老師傳授的技藝教給學生，他們學成后在當地開個點心鋪，生意一定會很火爆。未來，來到盧旺達的中國朋友也能品嘗到盧旺達人做的中國美食。”

在他們回國后，盧旺達的學員們對于中餐文化和烹飪技法依舊是如饑似渴。樓洪亮常常通過網絡與他們保持著交流，將一些視頻教材分享給學員們。

“感謝中國老師把知識送到我們家門口。”穆桑澤職業技術學校校長、穆桑澤市議會主席埃米爾·阿巴伊森加表示，盧旺達技術人員短缺，學校開設的烹飪等專業正是盧旺達經濟發展需要的專業。“‘一帶一路建設為盧旺達帶來越來越多的項目，學員們將獲得更多實踐崗位和就業機會，未來的發展空間會更廣闊。”

希望當地中餐館邁向“標準化”

除了教授烹飪，樓洪亮對于如何通過產業援非有著深層次的思考。早在赴非前他便表示，自己更希望能夠在充分了解當地市場需求的基礎上，為當地餐飲行業的菜品研發、商業模式創新、專業人才培養等領域作出探索。

到達當地后，樓洪亮立即利用半個月的時間，考察了當地餐飲市場和行業結構。與世界上許多國家類似，中餐在盧旺達有著廣泛的接受度，但樓洪亮也發現，由于從業人員技能高低不一，同時受食材限制，盧旺達當地的中餐館存在著菜品質量下降、與本土飲食同質化的問題。

為此，“我做的第一件事就是為當地中餐從業者開展一場培訓。”樓洪亮告訴記者，這場培訓后，許多餐館開始找上門，幾乎每個周末自己都是在下餐館、企業指導中度過。在樓洪亮的牽頭下，當地成立了盧旺達中餐行業交流會，每月協會都會定期交流新式菜品和行業信息，極大地提升了盧旺達中餐行業的創新合作氛圍。

樓洪亮表示，在盧旺達，中餐同樣面臨著西式餐飲的競爭，因此中餐菜品實現標準化制作，由經驗時代邁向標準化時代顯得尤為緊迫。為此，他從最常規的點心入手，為當地的10余家中餐館建立了基本菜肴的制作標準和流程，同時對后廚管理、原材料采購等環節作出了規范。

回國后，樓洪亮依舊與當地中餐館業主保持著聯系，他撰寫了一份題為《產業聯動，教學結合，產業援非》的調研報告，以期給當地餐飲行業帶去一些新的商業模式和發展理念。“只有形成產業鏈，當地的餐飲行業才能有生命力，當地人的生活水平才會有所提升。”樓洪亮說，如果有機會再去盧旺達，他會把更多的精力放在餐飲行業的打造上。

熱心做公益深切感受中非友誼

如果說傳道授業是樓洪亮在盧旺達的主要任務，那么在當地的一段公益經歷，則讓他更深地體會到中非人民間的深厚友誼。

“盧旺達的大街小巷里，經常能看到小孩踢球。他們可以把報紙、塑料袋、香蕉葉等東西扎成足球，但我從沒有看到過一個真正的皮球。”回憶起最初的發現，樓洪亮仍舊很感慨。

幾位中方老師商量后，決定為穆桑澤地區的12所中小學捐贈一批足球。大家專門開車三個多小時前往首都基加利，將商場里的兩百多個足球全部買下。讓樓洪亮感動的是，當他將盧旺達孩子的“微心愿”在朋友圈發布后，陸續收到了國內近萬元的善款。

帶著足球、乒乓球、跳繩等體育器材，樓洪亮與同事們選擇來到穆桑澤最偏遠的小學。身上背著足球，身后跟著上百號村民，“一到村口，當地人便熱情地給我們帶路，因為他們知道我們是來做公益的。”樓洪亮說，這一場景，讓自己瞬間感到自己和同事所做一切的意義。

A Chinese Culinary Master in Rwanda

By Lang Qingyu

Lou Hongliang is a teacher at the Jinhua Radio and TV University in Jinhua City， Zhejiang Province. He is also a state-certified culinary master and inheritor of the Jinhua-style culinary tradition. In 2018， Lou Hongliang， together with a group of colleagues from the Jinhua Polytechnic， spent three months teaching Chinese cooking in the Republic of Rwanda. Their adventure in one of the smallest countries on the African mainland turned out to be a beautiful， unforgettable experience.

Lou Hongliang， Zhu Mochi and Wang Xinjie arrived in Rwanda， nicknamed "area occupied by a swarm"， on November 25， 2018， after 14 hours on the plane. Their mission was to fulfill teaching duties at the Musanze Polytechnic， built with the aid funds from the Chinese government. The International School of the polytechnic was launched in July 2017. The teaching and teacher-training routines of the first group of teachers sent by the Jinhua-based university also cover seven other vocational schools in Rwanda.

In Rwanda， where the population is predominantly rural and the economy is based mostly on subsistence agriculture， the importance of education is a consensus reached by the public and government. In the eye of local people， Bruce Lee， Jackie Chan and Chinese cuisine are the synonyms of China， and eating out in a Chinese restaurant is considered a luxury.

“The students worked very hard， making the best of classroom teaching and not afraid to ask questions after class， which really impressed me，” Lou shares.

Every week was a tight schedule， but Lou handled the undertaking with ease， although preparation work for a whole days classes turned out to be a tough task that normally took two days. Language barrier added to the difficulty level of classroom teaching， in which Lou had to rack his brains to find ways to introduce the names of Chinese ingredients and cooking techniques to the students. To make it easier for the students to understand， he went out of his way to translate everything into English and French and search the web for as many corresponding pictures as possible.

“For them， the colorful Chinese culinary culture is unbelievable; and the dazzling variety of cooking methods is beyond eye-opening，” Lou recalls.

“One of the most frequently asked questions from the students is： Why so many things can be made by a Chinese cook from soybean？ What is cliché for the Chinese people is purely magic for the Rwanda students.”

Lou Hongliang also tried incorporating restaurant operation ideas into his classroom teaching， sharing his views on dish innovation and marketing with the students. “I learned a lot from Lou and other Chinese teachers; and my goal is to run a Chinese dim sum restaurant someday，” one of Lous students declared.

“I have been communicating with my students in Rwanda by sharing video materials with them online after I came back in Jinhua. They just cannot get enough of the multifaceted charm of the Chinese food culture，” Lou shares.

“The culinary courses brought by Chinese teachers from Jinhua mean a lot to our students in the sense of employment opportunities and exploring future career pathways，” said Amir， President of the Musanze vocational school.

Lou Hongliang spent half of his first month in Rwanda doing market research about the local catering industry. Noticing that the cuisine at most of the Chinese restaurants there is far from being authentic， he volunteered to provide training services for the local restaurateurs， spending most of his weekend time giving classes in restaurants. His efforts led to the launch of a Chinese restaurateurs association that provides a platform for information sharing and menu innovation.

Lous African adventure also includes a very special chapter that always reminds him of the power of sharing and how the seeds of love can be sown. Beyond fulfilling his teaching responsibilities， Lou Hongliang and several other Chinese teachers donated more than 200 footballs for 12 schools in the Musanze region， where children are seen almost everywhere making do with footballs made of newspaper， plastic bags， and banana leaves. After spreading the information on WeChat， the culinary teachers in Africa also received “love money” from their friends back in China who were eager to chip in to carry on the love relay.

“We arrived at a remote village on the Chinese New Years Eve. I will never forget the exciting faces of the villagers walking us into the village like we were home-coming heroes，” Lou recalls.
