Happiness has a thousand faces, all kinds of looks.
I thought that happiness was actually very simple.
With people who love each other,
Three meals a day, chicken and garlic,
Living an ordinary life is happiness.
It has been almost forty years since I entered Beijing!
The capital, Beijing, is indeed very large, and it is boundlessly large.
Yet each of us is very small, very small.
As small as a speck of dust, it rises and falls with the wind, and it does not matter.
In the big cities, live small,
This is my life credo with Yang Qiao.
Fresh dumplings
In the morning, I visited the supermarket and was selling fresh dumplings.
Buy back leek filling, fennel filling each half a catty.
Go home and cook it, fish it into the dish, white and fat, and the brakes are cute.
Sit at the table, add a garlic dish and a few drops of balsamic vinegar.
Wife bite open one, leek stuffed! No, to you, you like.
I also took a bite out of one, fennel stuffed! Put it in your wife's bowl...
And that's it, eating and biting, exchanging,
You come and go, and you are happy.
Yu Qian nest head
In front of the residential building, the branches of The Elm Money are luxuriant and leafy, and thousands of flowers are hung.
Wife said, Beijing people love to make Yuqian nest head, I heard that it is very flavorful, let's also try?
Just do it! Moving out of the folding escalator, Old Zhan resolutely ascended, and his wife supported him below.
Half a kung fu, half a pot of yu money.
Remove the black seeds, wash them repeatedly, mix with cornmeal, add a little brown sugar and steam them in a pan.
Uncover the lid, yu qian nest head, one by one, golden fluffy, brake is tempting!
Eat some yourself, send some to your neighbors,
The crowd was full of praise and joy.
Green pepper peeled egg
In the early morning, go to the farmer's market to buy vegetables.
Street food, just about to close the stalls, the oil pot has been withdrawn, the fire is still strong.
My wife said, this fire is a pity, take it to burn Qinghai pepper!
So I went to the vegetable market and bought several Qinghai peppers.
A string of bamboo skewers, place on the fire and bake until browned.
Go home and wash carefully, tear into strips, mix with the peeled eggs and pour with soy sauce.
Live off a hometown under the meal also.
Rice porridge, boiled well, on the green pepper skin egg, purring, purring,
Eating that is called pleasure, that is called enjoyability, and pleasure.
Sichuan kimchi
Yang Qiao's family is in Zigong, and he likes to make kimchi since childhood,
Beijing has moved several times, and everything can be given up, but the kimchi dumplings are not thrown away.
When the unit went to work, Yang Qiao's pickles had long been famous.
At noon dinner, colleagues did not enter the office, first shouted to themselves, Yang Qiao Yang Qiao, kimchi kimchi!
Watching others eat happily, Yang Qiao sat on the side, even happier than others!
In the heart of my wife, kimchi is nostalgia, it is a beautiful work of art,
Naturally, it is also her favorite.
Every three forks and five minutes, you always have to take care of it once,
Add salt carefully and slowly mix with water.
Bao Gu Cang
After entering Beijing, the most unforgettable, hometown fragrant Bao GuCang.
Yang Qiao said, want to eat Bao GuCang? It's easy!
Go to the vegetable market to buy fresh corn, and wipe it down with a rub,
Put it in a beater, rattling, beating into a thick paste,
Add a little cornmeal, a little brown sugar, spread in the corn leaves,
One by one, steaming in a steamer, carefully remove, smell yourself first,
Well, it comes with a mountain fragrance! The entrance is soft and sticky,
It really makes people can't help but look down at their hometown and be happy.
Grocery hikes
Daily grocery shopping, I love to go to Yuegezhuang, the largest agricultural and sideline products distribution center in western Beijing.
First take the bus to Wanfeng Bridge, then walk a kilometer,
It's both a walk and a hike.
Old Zhan was carrying a backpack, and Yang Qiao carried a small cloth bag,
Click, click, go forward, it's just two young people!
Look at the scenery along the way, talk about the current life,
Talk about filial piety for the younger generations, and talk about longevity experience.
I don't know that old age is coming, but I will hum the song.
The envious eyes of others are full of youthful vitality and happiness.
Yunnan friends
Yue Gezhuang buys vegetables and likes Sichuan and Dian specialties the most.
There is a small shop in Zhuangzhong, named "Yunnan Shanzhen".
The owner of the shop, Xiao Luo, and his sister specialize in Yunnan specialties,
Chicken brown, ham, bowls of sugar, beef jerky... It was all the beloved things of the Golden River.
One after another, everyone became close friends.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Xiao Luo's father came to Beijing from Dali,
Repeatedly and graciously invited to his rented home as a guest,
Meat vegetarian, full of a table, are exquisite craftsmanship, authentic Yunnan flavor.
Replace wine with tea, wish happiness together, meet at the end of the world, and be happy.
Two-player poker
After lunch every day, Old Zhan took a nap and would write something online.
Yang Qiao cleaned up the housework and watched TV.
Until 3:30 a.m., it's time to play cards every day.
Two-player poker, with two decks of cards, a total of 108 cards.
50 cards distributed to two people, 8 buckles as hole cards,
The other 50 sheets were divided in half and fastened to the table.
While playing and turning over, there is suspense...
Suddenly you killed me without leaving a piece of armor,
Suddenly, I held you at the bottom and turned defeat into victory!
Unconsciously, it was half past five, and only then did I find that dinner had not yet been cooked.
Forget it, end it quickly, and be happy.
Luxury journey
Is every day light and light? Not necessarily.
Occasionally, a new film comes from the Malian Road New Year's Eve Shopping Center,
Book tickets online first, around 11 o'clock, play a quick tick, and come to the studio.
First go to the "Jiangxi Crock Pot" for a light meal,
For two home-cooked meals, add a crock pot soup.
Eat and talk, talk and eat.
By 12:30, watch a movie and add a barrel of popcorn.
After watching the homecoming, first walk 500 meters, talk while walking, and watch the movie.
Take a look at the roadside scenery and smell the fragrance of tea city.
Bus No. 46, has entered the station, raised his legs, and there are even seats!
My wife and I, both septuagenarians, can ride for free in Beijing.
Go home and rest for a while, then take out your poker, play cards and have fun.
Balcony in spring
The family lives in a high-rise building, although it can be overlooked from afar, it is difficult to ground the gas,
Every time a green plant is raised, it will fade for a long time and gradually die.
Yang Qiao said, simply, change to flowers!
Cut a corner out of the balcony and buy freesia, phalaenopsis orchids, azaleas, tulips...
Some are inserted into vases, some are planted in tile bowls,
The height and height are misplaced, and the front and back are matched, that is, a miniature flower house.
Yang Qiao raises flowers, very careful, a little leisure, are taking care of,
Or change the water, or prune the branches, wait carefully, and clean up carefully.
Flowers are also sentient, lush and lush, extraordinarily lush,
We both stood by and watched, and we were very happy.
