For most people, midnight is the end of the day, but for the owner of a small restaurant of more than ten square meters, it is the beginning of his day. This restaurant is hidden in an old building in the corner of the metropolis.
The boss named this shop midnight food store, and it doesn't open until 7 o'clock every night from 12. The menu is simple, but guests can order at will. As long as the boss can make it, he will try his best to satisfy it.
There is a popular saying recently: I have a story. Do you have any wine? At the boss's place, there are not only wine, but also dishes carefully cooked on cold nights. Although most of them are just home-cooked dishes such as egg rolls, yam mud bibimbap, pasta, curry rice, etc., behind each dish, there are stories hidden in the hearts of people who order these dishes. The scar on the boss's face, slightly low voice, and the characteristics of only listening to comments but not participating in comments may make every guest here feel safe, taste the food and start talking about his life.
Who are the people who eat in this canteen? A Long, the eldest brother of the underworld, lived a gay life at the bottom, and Yu Zi, whose lover died, lost his financial resources. She was tricked from a remote town to Mizuno, Tokyo, Kenzo, who lost his wife in the Japanese earthquake, Minmei, who had an affair with her boss and became a volunteer, and Jiang Mumu, a policeman ... It was you and me, forced by life, who met at the midnight grocery store to share each other's experiences and count their inner scars.
After watching this movie, it was purely accidental. During the Spring Festival, a man drove hundreds of kilometers in a hotel in Yunxian County. In the dead of night, he doesn't want to sleep. Turning on the set-top box, he saw the name of the film, which was quite suitable for the atmosphere at that time, so he leaned against the edge of the bed and enjoyed it quietly, and then he was unconsciously attracted by the dull plot. The story is not complicated at all, but it is full of life. Maybe everyone can be in one of them.
Life is vigorous, but it is just plain, just like after a day of noise, it is rare to enjoy the quiet night in the city. So one day last year, I also wrote an article about Kunming in the middle of the night. "This is a night in Kunming, and there is a kind of prosperity that I don't understand." In the silent night, in the warm light, in the fragrance of food, maybe everyone is willing to let down their guard and tell a story hidden in their hearts.
In The Condor Heroes, Jin Yong once described that on a snowy night in fenglingdu, 16 Guo Xiang heard the story of the Condor Heroes for the first time in a pub, which changed his fate. It can be said that it was a snowy night in fenglingdu, and the appearance of Yang Guo was a lifelong mistake. This is probably the martial arts version of the midnight food store.
(From the midnight food store in Dali, answered by Zhihu, the owner of the picture source)
It is said that there used to be a midnight food store in Dali. The shopkeeper came to Dali from Shanghai and rented a restaurant to open at night. The menu is also very simple. In the dead of night, there is music, waiting for unknown guests, eating delicious food, drinking and sharing stories. Later, it gradually became famous.
Perhaps these are Dreams May Come and Midnight Food Store, which are not only applicable to Japanese comics, TV series and movies, but also applicable to China. They apply to everyone, regardless of nationality, gender or age. Only in the thick night can everyone's cold heart find warmth.
