The inhabitants of the small forest are self-sufficient. After the hostess came to the small forest, she did farm work alone, pulled weeds for the rice in her own field, planted tomatoes herself, hoed and weeded herself, and then cooked delicious food for herself with the food she planted. In order to make dipping sauce, you must first pick the fruit from the tree, then wash it and mash it. The most difficult thing is to pick out the seeds in the fruit paste one by one and then cook them. It took a lot of time, and finally only two small cans of dipping sauce were left. The whole movie will show the hostess several cooking processes, and then she will eat. I don't know why I am fascinated.
It doesn't tell you in detail how a delicious food is made, what kind of fruit will be available in what season, and then use this fruit to make a delicious food through the skillful hands of the hostess. There are not many words, sometimes just some simple language, but the magic thing is that I feel like this movie very much. Very, very much. After reading it, I will feel inexplicable decompression. It takes a lot of preparation to meet someone just for dinner. I even prepared a dish six months ago. From the moment a seed is planted, weeding and weeding are all great physical labor and time-consuming, and people often come back with backache. But she is extremely patient, and her farm work is done conscientiously and methodically. The tedious farm work and housework didn't make her fidgety. I saw a feeling of peace in her, a feeling of being calm no matter what she faced. Everything is done by myself and experienced by myself. She has a serious and practical feeling, which is exactly what I lack. I always hope I can get better, but I have no patience to rush for success. After doing this, I want to do something else. Without determination, I will accomplish nothing in the end.
What impressed me deeply was that the hostess raised the duck from small to large, then killed it herself, removed the feathers of the duck, and then skillfully decomposed all parts of the duck. It's really not an exaggeration to describe it as an expert. I was shocked that the hostess respected the fruits of her labor and food. She knows the structure and parts of ducks very well and knows which parts are suitable for how to eat. It is rare for a young woman to kill a duck on her own initiative. What's even more surprising is that she is so skillful in decomposing ducks. At this moment, I admire her.
The film "Little Forest" brought me a sense of peace and tranquility, and at the same time made me pay more respect to common food. Live a good life and learn from eating.
