There is no unsolvable problem in life. There is such a sentence on the cover of the book. "Jieyou Small Canteen" is a translated name. It was probably inspired by "Jieyou Grocery Store". It is indeed more eye-catching. Imagine if it was called "Caihua Canteen Recipe" very straightforwardly, wouldn't it be embarrassing? ?
Compared with "Jieyou Grocery Store", it is also a story about relieving worries and is also a warm story. "Jieyou Grocery Store" feels like a piece of passionate barbecue. You can eat it in one go, feeling hearty and full of content. "Jieyou Small Canteen" is like home-cooked food. When you first taste it, you don't think it is anything special, or even feel it is ordinary. However, home-cooked food can indeed withstand long-term chewing, and you will not feel bored even if you repeat it.
Six ingredients, six stories, six lives. Although Caihua Canteen is not big, its business is very good. There are also many applicants for the cooking class opened by the boss Jingzi. "I", as the assistant here, helps Teacher Jingzi with chores, and at the same time observes the students in the cooking class, including myself. Six kinds of food: honey, eggplant, cake, red beans, burdock, and chocolate are all very common, and not all of them are dishes. Chocolate and cakes should probably be classified as snack foods. However, the deliciousness of food is important, but whether the food is delicious or not has always been related to people's emotions.
What a delicious food. No matter how elegant the environment is, it will be boring if it is in a sad moment, because your heart is hurt, and the taste that drives you will lose its feeling, or even have the opposite taste.
This book will also write some food recipes in each chapter, and they are not complicated. As long as you have the ingredients and practice a few times, many people can learn it. However, if it is called Jieyou, the description of the food is not the focus. Very few people are unhappy just because the food tastes bad. Even if they are, it will only last for a short period of time. If it doesn't taste good, just find another place. Life is not like this, so people will have a lot of troubles, sorrow will follow, and then confusion, even if they have a high salary and a beautiful face, they are no exception.
Love, family, friendship, work, values, accidents. This is where most of the troubles in a person's life come from, and no one is spared. Even Teacher Jingzi, who is elegant, calm and calm in most situations in the book, will feel lost, worried and lose her former spirit when faced with a letter from her daughter.
There is a popular saying on the Internet: "There is nothing that cannot be solved by one barbecue. If there is, then just two meals." Many people think it makes sense, but in fact it is just because most people eat barbecue. You have to drink beer. The stimulation of alcohol makes people temporarily forget their sad things.
Food has never been able to comfort people, nor can it hurt people, even the most experienced foodies are no exception. Food is just food. Delicious food leaves a fragrance in your teeth and satisfies your stomach. I scoffed at the bad taste. These are just superficial changes.
So why does food relieve worry? And many people also feel that they feel much better after eating a big meal? The answer this book gives us is to take food seriously. Food is the catalyst for a better life. Try to make the food delicious and perfect to achieve a good balance. The sense of participation is very important. The delicious food made by yourself will actually reach a good state the moment you go. The state of eating is also very important. Which one will be in a better mood, quietly savoring it in a restaurant or ordering a takeaway and devouring it? The answer is self-evident.
Even for instant noodles, the taste is different between just soaking it in boiling water and cooking it seriously, and the mood is naturally even different. I very much agree with the launch of a certain APP. Food and love can only be lived up to. Often food also carries a lot of love.
How to relieve worries and keep flowing. The story of the small canteen is not over, and as a reader, I think the biggest gain is probably to learn to take life as seriously as I take food. Not giving in and just rushing to fill your stomach is also disrespectful to food.
