Each of us is tasting the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy with the tip of our tongue, just like life experiences the world.
At the same time, each of us always carries a shallow swaying glimmer in our hearts, and infinitely expects that everything in the world can be bittersweet.
Eating a little sweetness in life can always be talked about comforting.
And I have always loved the sweetness of nothingness, exuding a healing fragrance, much happier and happier than the unbridled sweetness.
The encounters of life seem to have been inadvertently manipulated by God, and they are not in order, and the world is impermanent; and it seems to be intentional, and everything is logical and implicated.
A movie, a life.
In the orange sunlight, large areas of white cherry blossoms with pale pink slowly drift down. "The Taste of Chengsha": Three people, love and loneliness, redemption and redemption, kick off in a humble gong burning shop.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" >01 The candidate is a 76-year-old dejiang old woman</h1>
A candidate came outside the store, a 76-year-old man. Although she said she could reduce her salary, she was still rejected by the store manager. After all, hiring such an elderly person will bring many hidden dangers. While rejecting the old man, the store manager gave her a copper gong roast. The old man did not dwell and turned away.
I thought it was over, but it had just begun.
This is a small shop that opens near the school. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom in the treetops and fall with a warm breeze. For such a beautiful view, the store manager Chitaro did not have time to appreciate it, and he was the only one in the whole store. Business was too busy and he wanted to hire a part-time job to help.
The next day, the old man came again. This time, she lowered her hourly wage, saying that 200 yen was enough. Chitaro still didn't want to hire her.
Then the old man changed the subject, saying that Chitaro's gong roast, the pancake part is done well, but the bean filling is not good. Chitaro asked her in a nonchalant manner, "Have you ever made bean paste?" Do you know how hard it is to make bean paste? ”
The old man immediately said that he had 50 years and nearly half a century of experience in making bean paste. It's just that Chitaro didn't take it seriously. Seeing that he did not believe it, the old man took the bean paste that had been prepared for him, and then turned and left.
Chitaro didn't even think about it, so he threw the bean paste into the trash. But after thinking about it, he took out the bean paste and tasted it a little: "Delicious! It was so delicious! "Chitaro has never eaten such a delicious bean paste.
On the third day, the old man came again. This time, Chitaro did not refuse and took the initiative to invite the old man into the store. It seems that the box of bean paste played a role.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" >02 The bean paste made by Dejiang conquered everyone</h1>
The old man's name was Dejiang, and he lived nearby. She not only has decades of experience in making bean paste, but also has emotions that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Seeing that Chitaro's bean paste was all spent on ready-made, she couldn't help but blame him: "The bean paste is the essence of the gong, how can it be so sloppy?" Doors open at 11 o'clock, so let's make bean paste tomorrow at dawn. ”
Chitaro was a little surprised, usually he came to work at 9 o'clock in the morning. But since Dejiang said so, he had to do the same.
The moon was still hanging high above his head, yawning, and Chitaro came to the door of the store. At this time, Dejiang was already waiting there.
Chitaro is not that he has not made bean paste, but it is either too bitter or too sweet, and he can't find the trick, so he decided to spend money to buy it. Here in Dejiang, he had a new understanding of bean paste.
For Dejiang, bean paste is not ordinary food, but a living thing with a soul. Treat it as patiently as a child, but also treat it as gently as a lover, and don't be too impatient. Give them plenty of time, get acquainted with sugar little by little, and then let them melt little by little in hot water instead of crushing them roughly, which will make the red beans unhappy.
A few hours passed, and finally, when it was almost 11 o'clock, the bean paste was ready, and the refreshing aroma came over, and Chitaro couldn't help but make himself a gong roast. In fact, he had never liked sweets all along, but this time, he had eaten the whole Gong Roast, because the bean paste was really delicious!
The next day, the two got up early to make bean paste in the store. By the time it started, what Chitaro didn't expect was that there was already a long line outside. Not only Chitaro, but even the masses were conquered by the bean paste of Tokue.
With Dejiang's help, business in the store is getting better and better.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" >03 The hostess asked to fire Dejiang</h1>
But the good times did not last long, and this evening, the hostess came to the shop. This shop is not Sentaro's, he actually works for others. The lady boss told him that Dejiang had suffered from leprosy and that the place where she lived was the leprosy isolation area.
Chitaro already knew about this, and he felt that Tokue had been cured and had nothing to do with him. But the lady boss said, "The horror of this disease is not something you can imagine!" Not only is the infection rate high, but the sick will end up with a crooked face and a disability, so she must be fired. ”
Sentaro is helpless, he is reluctant to fire Tokue, but this shop is not up to him. It so happened that he was sick this night and did not open the door as scheduled the next morning.
Tokue called, and Chitaro's words came to his lips, but he was finally swallowed back. After learning that he was sick, Dejiang asked him to rest more, and he would prepare tomorrow's bean paste.
Because of her advanced age, Dejiang's eyesight gradually deteriorated, and in order to increase the light in the room, she opened the curtains next to the sales counter.
At this time, there are already many customers waiting on the side. Dejiang did not want to disappoint her guests, and she began to sell. Although she has never made a pancake part, she can barely make it after trying it a few times. It was only because of the deformity of her hands that every time she turned the pancakes, she had to operate them with both hands.
Finally, the guests had left, and Dejiang was ready to take a break. At this time, Wakami came in, and she was a regular customer of the shop. She was born into a single family, and her mother ignored her. Thanks to Chitaro, who usually gave her the failed pancakes, life was able to survive normally.
Looking at Dejiang's deformed hands, Ruo Cai curiously asked her what was wrong. Dejiang said that he had an illness when he was a child, and did not specify what the disease was. This aroused Wakasa's curiosity.
After leaving, she went to the library to check the materials and found that Dejang was suffering from leprosy. According to the book, leprosy melts the patient's facial features. Ruo Cai was a little scared. But the last page of the book says, "They also long to live in the sun." Thinking of the amiable Dejiang, she fell into contemplation again.
The next day, by the time Chitaro arrived at the store, Tokue was already busy. Looking at her hunched and serious back, thinking of what the boss lady said, his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Seeing him coming, Dejiang immediately stepped forward and said slightly apologetically: "Yesterday the guests all came, and I didn't want others to wait for a while, so I advocated opening the door without authorization." Although the pancakes were broken, they all sold smoothly. Chitaro didn't blame her in any way, but invited her to sell it together today.
The days passed peacefully and peacefully, and the cherry blossom leaves in front of the door slowly turned yellow and withered. If you can continue like this, it is actually not bad. But life is often not smooth sailing, always when you feel satisfied, coldly give you a blow to the head.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" >04 Dejiang never came again</h1>
On this day, the two opened their doors as scheduled to do business. But from morning to dusk, not a single guest was available. Neither of them said anything, but they both knew it. The news that Dejang was a leper was still spread out.
At the end of the work, Tokue respectfully bowed to Chitaro, and then turned to leave. Looking at Tokue's back, Chitaro couldn't help but feel a little sad. Such an old man who is trying to live hard, how can he open his mouth? As if to know his embarrassment, Dejiang has never come since.
Soon after, Chitaro receives a letter from Tokue.
All along, Dejiang believes that everything in this world has its own story. The wind in autumn, the rain in spring, the flowers in summer, the snow in winter, and the red beans, nature is also the same. Whenever she makes bean paste, she listens carefully to the stories of the beans.
So, when she heard the autumn wind blowing, she felt she should write to him. Although there are many things in this world that are not easy, we must learn to solve problems with wisdom. And she also believes that Chitaro will be able to make his own bean paste.
Not long after receiving the letter, Wakasa came with his bird. Because she lives in an apartment, she can't keep birds, otherwise, she will be complained about by other tenants. Before, she and Dejiang agreed that they could give the birds to Dejiang to raise. However, dejiang is no longer working here.
At the thought of this, Ruo Cai said with some guilt: "Dejiang is a leper, I just told my mother." So this incident, I caused it. But Chitaro said, "I am responsible." It was I who didn't protect Dejiang. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" >05 Visit Dejiang</h1>
Guilty, the two decided to visit Dejiang.
Walking through the tree-lined paths, you will be greeted by somewhat dilapidated villages. People who live here are people who have suffered from leprosy. But on their faces, they were filled with happy smiles. This surprised Chitaro a little.
Arriving at a restaurant, the two meet Dejiang. After not seeing for a while, Dejiang looked a lot older. She was very happy to see the arrival of the two. Her friend Yoshiko brought dessert to the two, and several people ate and talked.
Dejiang said that when he was as big as Ruocai, he was sent here. When her brother dropped her off the car, he left. This was also the last time the two would see each other.
When she was diagnosed with leprosy, her mother was sad. Before leaving, she tried to collect fabrics for Dejiang and made a shirt. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived here, I was burned down according to the regulations. It was the only thought her mother had left for her, and it was burned to the ground.
Speaking of the past, Dejiang's face couldn't help but feel a little sad. But when she turned her head, she smiled and comforted Chitaro: "Life is hard, but there are also its beauty." When you smile at it, it must return the same smile. ”
In fact, in Chitaro's heart, there has always been a hidden past.
When he was young, due to his ignorance, he was seriously injured outside and was imprisoned, and his mother died during this period. He didn't even see the last side of his mother, which became the regret of Chitaro's life. After being released from prison, in order to pay off his debts, he had to stay in this small shop and make sweets that he did not like.
Life is like that, it's the same cruelty to everyone. The difference is that in the face of these cruelties, some people are self-pitying, and some people are smiling. Different choices will inevitably lead to different results.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="86" >06 Recordings of Dejiang</h1>
Soon after, because the business was not good. The hostess pulled her nephew over and prepared to renovate the shop and add a teppanyaki.
Looking at the boy hanging in front of him, Chitaro was a little upset. He doesn't believe that such a person can do a good job in business? Just like that, he couldn't say it. Because he understood that even if he said it, it would not help. After all, he doesn't have the final say here.
During the renovation of the shop, Chitaro, who was idle, and Wakasa visited Tokue again. Only this time, they only saw Yoshiko.
Before spring came, because of pneumonia, Dejiang left this world. Later, Yoshiko took out the tableware that Tokue had used before and gave it to Chitaro, saying that if Tokue knew that Chitaro had accepted it, she would be very happy. Then, Yoshiko brings out a tape recorder for Chitaro, which is left to him and Wakasa by Tokue.
She first apologized to Wakasa, and the bird was let go by her. Because she felt that freedom was what the bird really needed.
Then, she talked about the encounter with Chitaro that she had planned for a long time.
Because of leprosy, dejiang did not have his own children in this life, and he was forced to beat them when she was pregnant. One day, she passed by Chitaro's shop and saw that he always looked sad, thinking that if her child were alive, he would be the same age as him. On Chitaro's body, Tokue seemed to see the figure of his own child. As a mother, how can you see your child so sad? So, she decided to go to Chitaro's side.
As the recording progressed, Tokue's voice grew quieter and quieter until it disappeared completely, and Chitaro was already in tears.
A person who has leprosy cannot erect a tombstone after death. So, whenever someone dies, they plant a tree. Because Tokue loves cherry blossoms, everyone planted cherry blossom trees for her. Although spring is still far away, in the near future, beautiful flowers will surely bloom here. Presumably, Dejiang will be very happy to see it.
Autumn to winter, in the blink of an eye, spring quietly arrived. The branches of the trees next to the street are full of small but full cherry blossoms, and the fragrance is refreshing.
In this spring, Chitaro walks out of the shop and goes to the street to sell gong ware. This time, his face was no longer sad, but full of hope for life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="85" >07 conclusion</h1>
"That night, the full moon said to me, 'I'm so bright so you can see me.'"
Tokue is Chitaro's moon, and she illuminates Chitaro's path forward with the last glimmer of her life.
"Manager, we were born to see the world with our own eyes and to listen to the world. So, even if we can't achieve anything, as a person, it makes sense to live as ourselves. ”
In the process of soaking, rinsing and boiling in clean water, red beans discharge their own bitterness, just like life, after experiencing the baptism of suffering and twists and turns, the sweetness of life will slowly appear.
Life is like this, there are bitterness and grievances and pain, often making people feel hopeless, and they don't know why they have to live. But behind these, there is often happiness, happiness, happiness, they are intertwined, and whenever you feel confused, just think of these sweet moments, you can find the direction again.
No one's life is smooth sailing, and the ups and downs will be intertwined with peace and smoothness in order to fuse a unique and evocative taste.
It's a simple story, it's a bunch of ordinary people, it's a warm movie.
Cherry blossoms, forests, sunshine, and love.
In life, the bitterness in our hearts occasionally needs sweet red bean paste to neutralize it.
The film takes the sunshine into a rare and extreme beauty.
Until this moment, when I closed my eyes, I could still feel so strongly that the bright rays of daylight, through the trees, through the leaves, through the air, through the hearts of the people, yes, were warm.
