Mr. Mu Xin once said:
"The best state of life is the cold and cold wind and fire."
A very short sentence, but hiding the secret of life,
Wind and fire are the rhythm of life,
Cold and cold, is the attitude of the heart.
The second half of it reads: "Live a bitter time with pleasure and happiness." ”
In the fast-paced city life,
Everybody is in a hurry, busy,
Breakfast a slice of bread and coffee,
Fast food for lunch or instant noodles,
Dinner is often forgotten.
How long have you not stopped,
Ready for a good meal?
The girl Ichiko in the movie "Little Forest",
Because I can't afford to live so fast,
And had to flee the city,
Returning to his hometown komori, he lived a quiet and gentle rural life.
In this small village,
There is only one way to communicate with the outside world,
She's in such a small, isolated village,
Grow vegetables and cook, self-sufficiency,
Live out the peace and beauty of the years.
01
Food is a good medicine to save the mood
"The first thing to do as soon as winter is over,
It's about preparing the ingredients for the next winter.
Life in Komori,
That's how it goes. ”
Watch the summer cicadas and winter snow, taste the spring planting and autumn harvest,
Prepare ingredients in advance for tomorrow's lunch,
Let the next winter be as satisfying as this year,
In the countryside, eating well is all there is to life.
Envy Ichiko's Komori life,
But I can only marvel a few words, envy a few,
And then plunge headlong into the long and endless work,
Continue with a fast-paced life.
However, we have another option:
Although it is impossible to return to the countryside,
But every meal can be taken seriously.
Food is a good medicine to save the mood.
Remembering Su Dongpo, who has tasted all the hardships of life,
Throughout his life, he has been repeatedly degraded, and there are very few days of letting go of his heart.
But in the historical records and poems,
Maintained the "foodie lotte pie" of the new wave of people.
Pick up his collection of poems,
Can see its "Yangtze River around the Guo Zhi fish beauty, good bamboo and mountain bamboo shoot fragrance" optimism and leisure,
You can also taste the refreshing human flavor of "snow foam milk flower floating noon cup, artemisia annua shoots try spring plate".
Life is really bitter, let the sour, sweet and spicy food heal the soul,
Don't immerse yourself in the sea of suffering.
The so-called "happy and happy bitter time",
That's it.
02
Hobbies are a sense of accomplishment that belongs to life
"The fruit that falls to the ground,
Can only rot slowly,
Desperately growing up results,
In the end, it was in vain.
- Make you jam. ”
"A Lifetime of Fruit"
This seemingly perfunctory subject,
It is often used in videos by Li Ziqi, who has been on fire in recent years,
"The Life of Turnips" "The Life of Taro"
"The Life of a Pumpkin" or even "The Life of a Rose"
These seemingly ordinary crops or romantic flowers,
After meticulous and careful cooking, marinating, placing,
Turned into delicious food and sauces.
Handmade is always the best,
Probably because of the heart and sweat,
It also stores expectations and wishes.
Cultivate your own little hobbies,
Looking for a sense of accomplishment in life,
Can still calm down in the busy,
Don't chase, don't catch up, slow down life,
Experience the leisurely ease of the ancients "idly knocking on the chess pieces and falling lights".
Slowing down is not stagnation or giving up,
It's to sort out the mood, to pack up,
Make every day meaningful without getting lost.
03
Cooking is the source of pyrotechnic gas
"Cooking can see the human heart
Now that's the color of my heart, isn't it? ”
It's a hassle to cook a meal, buying vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables...
Finally, put these ingredients into the pot in turn,
It also depends on the heat, put the seasoning, and finally put it out of the pot.
The very random "appropriate amount" and "several" in the recipe,
It's even bigger than a math problem.
But for some people,
Cooking is a dessert that heals life,
It is the pyrotechnics that warm up the empty little room.
City life is always noisy and noisy,
If you want to be in a forest of reinforced concrete,
Find your own peace and belonging,
Then make a meal.
If you are skillful, you can make some complex and delicate food,
While satisfying your appetite, you can also enjoy a sense of accomplishment.
It is also possible to choose simple ingredients,
Make a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes or small greens.
Simple or complicated, everything is as you like.
04
Life is about finding your own rhythm
“...... If you build a greenhouse,
I feel like I've decided to stay here forever.
So I kept dragging. ”
Young people always like to run,
Self-esteem and the desire to win or lose make us hesitant.
Even if it is nestled in a small room of ten square meters to eat takeaway,
Also hypnotize yourself: it is better than living a dull life at home.
We are not without choice,
It's about getting used to comparison.
If you can let yourself go, go with your heart,
There will also be so much resentment and reluctance.
Man's life should be chosen by himself,
Whether it is the idyllic pastoral life of "light clouds and flowing water in this life",
Or the urban fast-paced life of "long winds and waves will sometimes",
None of them are wrong.
Follow your heart and choose the life you want,
Not limited to the opinions and expectations of others,
It is really to treat yourself well.
Work is a part of life,
But life is not only about work,
In the daily life of wind and fire,
Remember to give yourself some time,
To cultivate hobbies, to enjoy life.
As the British writer Woolf put it:
"You don't have to be in a hurry, you don't have to shine,
You don't have to be someone else, just be yourself. ”
Not forced by the world,
Follow your own rhythm,
Eat well and live seriously.
