A few days ago, I paid several final payments for Double Eleven in the middle of the night, and Bought more than three pieces of seasonal clothes for the four people in the family.
A feeling of exhaustion suddenly arises, and the consumption is really tiring.
I had planned to go to bed quickly, open the notebook, and see in Douban that someone was condemning a group post, the post was a man's speech that said, go to Starbucks blind date, buy coffee to spend at least 30 yuan, quite expensive, in fact, you can bring your own water to drink.
His condemnations said they would not even spend this money and thought of getting married.
I thought for a moment of a certain man I had seen in McDonald's many years ago, a friend introduced to him, the two sat in McDonald's, I saw him open the door and began to make an introduction, I had to ask him, what do you want to drink? He said no. So I went to buy a cup of coffee myself, the McDonald's coffee was about seven dollars, and I drank seven dollars of coffee while wondering, what makes this man refuse to spend even seven dollars?
Regarding the pick-and-treat man, I have also experienced some, when I was young, everyone was very poor, and there were many strange stories. There is a story I also said on Weibo some time ago, many years ago with an ex-boyfriend to eat at a noodle restaurant, he ordered a bowl of noodles, I stared at the menu on the table, first ordered a cucumber, he said with a dissatisfied face, "Why do you have to order a simple noodle?" ”
At that time, I was shocked, this shock has been preserved to this day, once when Xiao Chen was cooking noodles, he told this story in the kitchen, xiao Chen was very unexplained, "Who is the dish of the noodle restaurant sold to?" ”
It wasn't until I opened the Douban cut group that the shock was solved.
Cutting is not poor, cutting is cutting, formatting everything that is not necessary in life.
This night I relished reading a lot of posts in the key group, as if breaking into a new world.
In the cut group, the basic lifestyle is like this, breakfast and dinner cost six yuan, dinner only a two-two chicken breast and two dollars of rice, I was deeply shocked, did not need a little leafy vegetables? Why not have a quick-food seaweed egg flower soup?

After that, I found that this person's life is quite reasonable, and the basic meaning of cutting is to meet the needs of daily life, you don't have to make so many flowers, eat enough, it is enough. Why should it be delicious?
Immediately after I opened the first post that stunned me, the landlord was enthusiastic about introducing you to a low-cost, high-quality protein source, bread worms.
Bread worms have 20 percent protein content, which is as high as beef, much better than 13 percent of eggs, and as long as they can overcome psychological obstacles, bread worms taste milky almond.

My lizards often eat Dobia cockroaches, and every time the lizards see a cockroach clip out, their eyes straighten and become very excited, and once the tongue is rolled up to the cockroach, it crunches and crunches, much like my husband eating hairy crabs.
I'm curious, I wonder if this dude will challenge eating The Dobia Cockroach? It is said that the protein content of cockroaches is also very high, but then I think about it, probably not, cockroaches are still slightly more expensive than bread worms.
I began to slowly understand the true meaning of cutting, and really cutting up is to often challenge the limits of survival.
Later, I read a post about a young man working in Shandong with a monthly salary of four thousand, telling about his simple and thrilling life. It is said that if you rent a house, the rent in the urban-rural combination department of Shandong is about one thousand to twelve thousand, and the brothers have found another way, on the satellite map, they have found some houses that look like no one lives, and they go to the point every day to see if there is anyone. Finally lived in without spending a dime.
Then solve the problem of water and electricity, electricity is simple, buy a solar panel in Pinduoduo, as long as you can maintain the phone charging. Water, from May to November, go to the nearby reservoir to wash and bathe. The rest of the time to stay in the unit after work, to the bathroom with hot water to wash.
I remembered Xiao Chen telling me that he had a French friend who, because he hated urban life, was now living in the mountains of France, and seemed to be living a similar life, with very limited water and electricity, getting up at five o'clock every morning, going to the mountains to collect mushrooms, and going to bed early at night in order not to consume electricity.
When he said it, I was still a little yearning for this modern Thoreau life.
I didn't expect that internet life could gather so many weird coffees, and when I was looking at this post on a messy desktop, there was a Shandong boy who was in a private house in a hidden place in the mountains, borrowing the weak electricity of solar panels, and publishing his lifestyle on his mobile phone.
I took a closer look, and my God, the leader of this group, the leader of the school, turned out to be a friend I had known more than ten years ago, Lu XIV.
At that time, I didn't think that there was anything special about this big-headed buddy, I lived in Dongzhimenwai Street, near Zuojiazhuang, for a while I walked with him a few times, Teacher Lu loved to walk, we talked about it while walking at night, from Dongzhimen all the way to Nanluoguxiang, bought a book of poems at an old book stall, and then walked all the way back.
At that time, I was very moved, and I thought that only Beijing had such a friend, walking all night and talking about literature for a night.
Later, I thought about it, that was the germ of learning, can not take a taxi without a taxi, Anbu when the car is not fast.
I listened to a podcast by Teacher Lu with great interest, and listened to him detail the enlightenment of learning, mainly because after getting married, I suddenly found that there was a big difference in the details of life with my wife. Every time his wife washed her face, the faucet kept on, even when she rubbed it with cleansing milk on her face, the faucet did not turn off, he was very uncomfortable, and went straight up to turn off the faucet.
Scolded by his wife.
He knew, oh, that there were wasteful people in the world...
Toothpaste is almost used, the wife threw it into the trash can, he picked it up again, why throw it? The wife said that she couldn't squeeze it out. Teacher Lu made a shocking speech: I will squeeze you out now, and I tell you, I can still use this tube of toothpaste for half a month!
After I listened to the program, I immediately contacted Teacher Lu and asked him straight away: Do you have any way to impress my husband?
When I first looked at Xiao Chen, it was indeed because he did not cut, very generous, Xiao Chen southerner, to eat noodles do not say a pat cucumber, it is best to order a dish of brine, a dish of white-seared vegetables, and then a bowl of beef ball soup, dessert turtle cream after the meal Do you want? I want to eat.
I don't miss my ex-boyfriend's cuts, but I think, why can't men balance each other?
People who cut can at least order a pat cucumber to supplement vitamins, generous people do not order a large table every time they order, okay?
The phrase "how did you buy so much" I already said tired.
I didn't expect God to give me such a big challenge, either to cut it, or to come to Xiao Chen like this.
After Listening to Me Complain about Some Hardships, Teacher Lu said that he could not help him, paid attention to self-pleasure in learning, and never wanted to impress others.
So I had to re-read Walden for the nth time, and Thoreau was asking me: Why should we live in such a hurry and waste our lives?
After Double Eleven, looking at the express boxes on the floor at home, I did have a new understanding, if everyone has changed a little, why suffer from this kind of iniquity?
Of course, more than a decade ago, I would never agree with this view.
The most painful repentance about the study brought me was this, when I was eating last night, I told my son about someone eating bread worms. Evan said with a strange expression, you can eat it. And he strongly demanded, Mom, you buy a little now, I'll eat it for you, okay?
I was very hurt inside, and I didn't know why I had to bury such a big pit for myself.
It can be seen that the study of cutting is slowly reviving, and in time, it will surely dominate the world.
