Simple melodious melody, simple and clear lyrics. Wind and water are shallow, without impurities, and children's joy is beautiful and far away.
"Little Forest" reminds me of this nursery rhyme. The food movie "Little Forest" is as pleasant and dreamy as a nursery rhyme.
Actually, I don't have much research on food, and I'm not very particular about it. Simple and delicious is good.
Although the delicious food in the movie makes people drool, the real, slow, simple and cold life can impress me more.
Maybe I grew up in a mountain village and got used to watching the rice fields in the mountains. Perhaps because I like Tao Yuanming, I want to pick chrysanthemums under the hedge. Perhaps this is more self-centered, too lazy to socialize and flatter. probably ...
"Little Forest" is divided into winter, spring and summer and autumn, and is published on 20 15 and 20 16.
Kobayashi is a small mountain village in northeastern Japan. Continuous mountain forests, square rice fields, long and steep mountain roads, and a simple hut on the mountainside.
There is a small vegetable field in front of the hut, where Chinese cabbage and broccoli can be planted. There are tall persimmon trees beside the hut. In autumn, occasionally black bears come to look for food. In winter, mountains and fields are covered with heavy snow, and wild flowers sprout in the thick snow. In spring, the water vapor is dense, and the whole world is immersed in the water, as if you can swim just by putting on flippers. In summer, there are fireflies flashing at night.
A city boy who escapes from the city but doesn't admit defeat and doesn't like to escape. I left Komori again and finally came back with peace of mind after five years.
The story is very light, such as the flickering whitebait in the stream, which occasionally appears. Childhood memories, dissatisfaction and yearning for my mother who left alone, two endless relationships, and a little misunderstanding with my friends. All these things melt and fade in the daily life of making food, and life becomes simpler and simpler.
Yes, Komori's city life is very simple. Cultivate, harvest, make delicious food, and then enjoy it.
Farming, understanding the way of planting crops, plowing, sowing, intertillage, weeding and fertilizing in appropriate solar terms. Take care of it or let it go.
Listening to people's footsteps, ears of rice have sprouted. Weeds must be pulled out soon after transplanting. Weeds that can't be pulled out are just like those that grow naturally from the body. Then work hard!
Beans and vines spread freely and coexist with weeds. If tomatoes don't put on airs, their fruits will rot quickly when it rains. But so what? One person can't accomplish that much.
Harvest. Harvest rice in autumn, and then burn straw. Black rice can be used to brew sweet rice wine and make yellow, purple and white egg cakes, which are beautiful and delicious. Brown rice can be made into sour wine, put in the refrigerator, pull out weeds in the fields and sweat your clothes. When you get home, take out the homemade sour wine from the refrigerator and take a swig. It was sour and sweet, and all the fatigue disappeared.
Find brown-red pods from weeds, put them in a basket, and then carefully peel them off. You can see round red beans shining in the palm of your hand and emitting fragrance. Well, red beans can be made into red bean cake or red bean soup.
What about soybeans? You can make natto, cook it until it becomes soft, wrap it in straw, bury it in the snow for three days, then take it out, mash glutinous rice, and make natto dumplings with sugar and soy sauce, which is a delicious food that city people have always wanted to eat.
Radish is pulled out from black soil, peeled and sliced, then put on with a rope and hung under the eaves like a mercury curtain. Raw can be made into disappeared sweet and sour radish pieces. Freeze-drying and storing. You can stew meat. You can make radish soup.
……
In the process of growing and cooking food, in the film, urban children are quietly doing it while telling it, gentle and quiet, with nothing to be proud of and nothing to be sad about. Because this is the most precious gift of life and the simplest daily life.
My childhood is gone, and my mind is very complicated. Return to nature, even if it is possible to become an old man. I really want to have the courage of this city!
