The best thing,
It all happened here.
On rainy weekends, it is suitable to stay at home and brush "Little Forest".
Every frame is healing, and every place is quiet. Listening to the rain outside the window while watching movies, it seems that you can smell the fragrance of the soil and the fragrance of straw through the screen.
Unable to integrate into the noisy big city, the girl chose to return to her hometown, Komori Village, where she grew up since childhood.
Komori, located in the northeast of Japan, is a quiet and peaceful village. The four seasons in Komori village are full of paintings. In spring, there are budding pink cherry blossoms and new green buds, in summer, mountain streams flow through green rice fields, in autumn, all the layers of forests are covered with gold, and in winter, there are chilly snow flying all over the sky.
In the poetic nature, slow down and take a deep breath, and Komori's four seasons slowly flow, which can relax the city.
People in Shizi and Komori Village make a living by farming. Nature and season dominate everything here, Komori's scenery flows with it, and people work hard with the change of four seasons. Spring ploughing, summer sowing, autumn harvest, winter storage.
Tomatoes that can grow up by sowing at will need to be uprooted from time to time, fertilized with insect-resistant rice, and radish buried in the ground to be stored for the winter.
Simple life, simple days, the return to nature in "Little Forest", just like Tao Yuanming's poetic pastoral poems, is plain but comfortable.
City children farm and work in the fields, and also follow the season to pick the fruits in the mountains, and make the harvest fruits of their own farming and the gifts of nature into delicious dishes.
Walnut rice, salted bracken, Elaeagnus Elaeagnus jam, baked sweet potato, etc., the delicacy in the market plate changes quietly with the circulation of the season.
Noodles soup, sour rice wine, oven-baked bread, Wu Stesa's company, etc., the city cooks the plain life colorful.
Christmas cake, natto rice cake, stir-fried vegetables, etc., mother has been missing for a long time, recalling and reappearing her mother's specialty dishes, and the city keeps in touch with her mother in this unique way.
Although I don't understand why my mother left without saying goodbye, I also understood my mother's care in cooking during the process of making it myself.
The love and seriousness of cooking is the treasure left by my mother to the city.
Fortunately, the city who lives alone has the company of friends and the help of neighbors.
Share sugar chestnuts together, share baked sweet potatoes together, and teach the city children the secrets of farming. Komori and the people living in Komori accompanied the city children quietly through the spring, summer, autumn and winter.
I like Little Forest, not to advocate that we should all return to the fields, but because it cures people's tired life, from which we can get a moment of peace and tranquility.
Just as Shizi stubbornly refuses to build a tomato shed, because building a shed means that she chooses to settle down in Komori, whether to face life directly or to escape, Shizi has not found the best answer to return to Komori.
Yearning for Komori's life doesn't mean that you want to live in the countryside for a long time, but you want to calm your anxiety, learn to be yourself quietly, and learn to live in the present and live in every breath.
