A few days ago, I signed up for a book recommendation activity, and I got a book "Worrying about Sashido". When I received this book, I was deeply attracted by its cover. Nice cover, it's my favorite color. It doesn't feel like a book to me, but an exquisite notebook.
This book was written by Japanese writer Beyono Kei, with six stories, six delicacies and six puzzles, which are actually six kinds of life. For a foodie, while looking at the description of food, he presents the image of food in his mind, his stomach growls and his saliva almost drops on the book.
Ordinary recipes and ordinary stories are all about ordinary things around ordinary people. If we can see through them, open our hearts and reconcile our lives, there will be no unsolved problems in our lives.
Before I wrote my reading notes, I only chose the place in the book that impressed me deeply to write and record. But this book, though thin and each story is not long, can help me find the shadow of myself or people around me.
whispers of honey
If you love someone, should you become what he expects? Miss Shannon is mentioned in the story. She is a student in the cooking class of teacher Shizuko. The reason why she signed up for the cooking class is that she and her boyfriend came to the cauliflower canteen for dinner. Her boyfriend thought the food here was delicious, so she came here to study, hoping to make the taste that her boyfriend liked.
When Miss Chanel cooked the dishes learned in the cooking class on her boyfriend's birthday as his birthday present. Instead of being happy, her boyfriend said with an ugly face, "I was wrong about you, so let's not meet again." I can't spend my whole life with someone who cooks like this. " Miss Shannon was puzzled and sad. She didn't understand why he said that.
When Miss Xiangnai presented the dish she cooked that day to Miss Jingzi in the cauliflower canteen, the kind and lovely Miss Jingzi found the answer. Chanel came to learn cooking. Besides her boyfriend likes the food here, she also has a strong love for food. She can perfectly restore the French stew made by teacher Jing Zi, who taught this dish in class, but for the sake of simple ingredients, she omitted some little materials: honey. Miss Shannon, after eating the French stew cooked by the teacher in the restaurant, learned that honey was added to this dish by her sensitivity to food and careful study.
She knows her boyfriend's tradition. He is the type who thinks that a girl should be a housewife when she gets married. Miss Shannon likes cooking, but she wants to marry her boyfriend more, so she hides her thoughts and gives priority to her boyfriend.
her boyfriend is not honest with her either. He used to work in a large IT company in Roppongi, but he came to work in a small IT company in Lichuan because of company layoffs. He had a strong self-esteem and didn't tell Miss Shannon. He was afraid that Miss Shannon would look down on her and thought it would be better to leave voluntarily than to be abandoned. It is also possible that Miss Shannon copied the cauliflower canteen 111% because of what she did. He felt that she had no opinion and would only copy other people's dishes. She was a daughter and could not keep the house.
in a word, neither of them is honest with each other. At the suggestion of Jing Zi, Miss Xiangnai decided to explain her thoughts to her boyfriend. The worst result is just breaking up. After all, there is the possibility of starting over.
In reality, how many people, for the sake of their loved ones, try to become what they like and slowly forget their original appearance. Hong said: "He doesn't like me to wear high heels. He says it's too ostentatious. After two years with him, there are no high heels in my shoe cabinet." Hui said: "He doesn't like my make-up. He said that cosmetics are so expensive. Those who make up are foxes, and they look good without makeup." In the past, Hui went out with spare cosmetics in her bag, but now she doesn't even have a lipstick in her bag. Some people are willing to change themselves for him, and life slowly revolves around him until one day, they find that they have no self. I hope the girls will keep their love for themselves while loving him.
memories of eggplant
tell stories with eggplant and feel love through food. Mr Saya is a rich man and often travels abroad. Three years after his wife died, he moved in with a wife. They met on a trip, and the other was a working woman who was eighteen years younger than him. After they lived together for three years, Mr. Saya felt that he could register for marriage, so he mentioned it to his relatives, but he was met with great opposition. His relatives felt ashamed of him. They married a teenager at such a big age and thought that the woman was after his money. Anyway, they just didn't approve of their being together.
Mr. Saya hesitated after listening to his relatives' persuasion. His wife felt cold and moved out. Mr. Saya missed her. In order to make him like eggplant, she made him vegetarian fried eggplant. Since then, he no longer hates eggplant. But unfortunately, after his lover left, he could no longer find the smell of fried eggplant cooked by his lover. Careful and keen teacher Jing Zi restored the taste, and at the same time knew that his lover had worked hard to make him like eggplant.
Teacher Jing Zi revealed the secret that Mr. Saya didn't want to tell, but it also gave him the courage to pursue his love and gained happiness. Happiness is to find a compatible person and live happily.
if we always care about other people's ideas, then we can't live a good life. Because even your closest relatives, your parents and lovers, sometimes they will put forward opinions that are different from yours. No two people in this world are exactly the same. If you abandon your favorite and your original happy life for fame and fortune and other people's opinions, it is your choice. Don't regret it, because it is useless. This Mr. Saya is happy to find someone who can hit it off after his wife died.
when I grow up, my concept has changed a little. For those who unfortunately lost their other half, I hope you can also find someone who can get along and make your life comfortable and happy. It's not about money, it's not about gossip, it's just a kind of happiness with a lover around.
Innocent Cake
This story reminds the author of an unpleasant experience before. She met Naoko, a colleague who used to work in a travel agency. Because of her careless negligence, she became a thorn in the side of Naoko. It was not her fault, but she couldn't get rid of Naoko's hostility to her, so that her work didn't go smoothly.
because of naokou's deliberate guidance to other colleagues, she was isolated by them. At this time, only Miyaki's predecessors are doing her comrades-in-arms and comforting her. Later, the elder resigned and everyone gave her a farewell party. The cake bought by the author was inexplicably sour and broken when sharing, and the author was embarrassed and more hostile. Teacher Jing Zi and she analyzed the cause of the incident, and it turned out that the hand behind her turned out to be Miyaki's elder who took good care of her. The elder was afraid that everyone would know that she had an eating disorder, so she cheated on the cake.
No matter how kind a person is, once his mind is out of balance, he will do incredible things. In fact, human nature is terrible. It is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and you can't figure it out. People get along with each other, in addition to honesty, there are skills, and every skill may not be useful to everyone. Even if you try your best to please and be kind to her, the other party may not eliminate hostility towards you.
I don't like the environment of my university dormitory and the subtle feeling of getting along. I live carefully. When I make fruit salad for myself, I like to share it with them. I try to get along with others. In the end, I found that they would still sneer at me, and their words were still harsh and would not change because of my gregarious. Friends, blend into your favorite environment, stay with people with similar interests, and don't be forced to tolerate inappropriate circles. Your hard support looks ugly. If you don't like the current environment, then you should explore it well and slowly by yourself, and you will always find a circle that suits you.
Red beans know the answer
I cried when I saw this story, because I saw a kind of love that I gave silently and carefully, as if I saw a shadow of myself.
At the beginning, it is a series of stories that Mrs. Murata suddenly asked for leave and didn't come to class. In fact, I didn't like Mrs. Murata when I read the first few stories. I thought she was too talkative and nosy. After reading this story, I suddenly understood her.
The reason why she didn't come to class was that she was beaten by her eldest son and embarrassed to meet people. What? Beat mother? How unfilial! What a shame! Later, when we learned the truth, we realized that his son was not a violent maniac, but a kind boy, but it was still wrong to hit his mother.
when Mrs. Murata came back in the evening, she was happy to see her eldest son and he were also cooking red beans, but she pretended as if nothing had happened. She looked at the red beans cooked by her son and found them rotten. Based on her own experience, she felt that red beans should be replaced with more water, otherwise the soup would be astringent and would not taste sweet. So she poured the soup without authorization, trying to help her son cook delicious red bean soup. Only to be punched by my son. She doesn't know why.
The reason why the eldest son also cooks red bean soup is for his younger brother. Because his younger brother is ill in bed and constipated, he wants to help his younger brother defecate with the method of traditional Chinese medicine. And his mother threw out the soup indiscriminately. He regretted hitting his mother by mistake, thinking about grinding the roots of cattle stalks to reduce swelling for his mother.
He also wants to study medicine to cure his younger brother. He thinks that something happened to his younger brother, and he also has reasons. He was allergic to cats, but his younger brother brought back an injured cat. They argued and he threw the cat out. He was afraid that his younger brother would be sad and the cat would get hurt and threw it on a soft grass. But his younger brother didn't know his worries. He hated his older brother and threw himself out to hug the flying cat. Unfortunately, a car accident happened. He felt deeply guilty. Even though his younger brother was unconscious and he was allergic to cats, he led the cats into the yard, showing how kind he was inside.
But his mother, Mrs. Murata, didn't understand. She told her son that his brother's car accident was none of your business. It was an accident. Don't take it to heart. Just go to school well, find a proper job and earn money.
He is studying hard, studying medicine and taking the medical examination, hoping to help his younger brother regain consciousness one day. At the same time, helping people in need while studying medicine is both an achievement and a job for him.
Mrs Murata and her son are kind people. The root cause is deep love, but the expression is wrong, which leads to self-defeating. It was clearly love, but it almost turned into hate.
it reminds me of me and my family. I love them. I want to buy them beautiful clothes and shoes, and give them at festivals to make them happy. They love me very much, too. They are worried that I won't have enough to eat and meet bad people outside, and that I won't take care of myself. So every time I talk on the phone, every time I go home, I will be remembered. "Nong, things outside are dirty, so you should always go home and cook. Don't go shopping outside at 8 pm. Don't eat with others casually. You should go to bed early. You have to ... "
I think they always treat me like a child who is not growing up, so I'm long-winded and irritable, so my attitude towards them is not very good. In the future, I will slowly try to think from their perspective and tell them what I think. I hope love is love, and I don't want love, because communication problems have turned into hate.
Niu Di is also wonderful
In Mrs. Shizuko's cooking class, Mrs. Yagi, Mrs. osawa and Mrs. Maeda usually sit together. One day, because Mrs Yagi's chair was occupied, the author was able to chat with her. Mrs yagi has no job yet. She comes to class during the day and will help them with their children when she is free.
does the author ask her if she finds it troublesome? She said, "I'm idle anyway, and I'm glad I can help them." Besides, Mrs. osawa and Mrs. Maeda will bring me some small gifts from time to time, and they will give me some when they cook more. "
I think she's so stupid. Mrs. Yagi has no obligation to help others look after the children. This is so stupid. However, there are two sides to everything. Although she is not looking after his children, because she has spent a long time with her children and given them more care and love, the children are more affectionate to her than to their own mothers. This is the reward of kindness.
I also saw my own shadow here. In the past, I always thought that when I was free, when I was free, I would agree to others' help and refuse others inexplicably. Always doing thankless work. Now, because I don't make friends to fit in, I have less help before, because I have gradually moved away from that kind of people. It's good to help others, but you should also think about yourself, so that you won't become an accessory of others.
the wish of chocolate
Ms. Jing Zi, although she can solve problems for students, she doesn't seem to enjoy the process. Although she smiles pleasantly, she gives people a feeling of rootlessness. Recently, Jing Zi received a red wool hat from her daughter, followed by chocolate. She didn't understand why her daughter suddenly sent her these, and contacted her husband to know that they were divorced. Worried about her daughter's accident, she relied on her contact information to find her, but she couldn't get in touch. When the anxious heart calmed down, she knew that her daughter sent her a courier, indicating that she was safe. She wanted to send a message to her mother through a gift. She divorced, she found her own freedom, and she rewarded herself with a box of chocolates. That chocolate took the story between their mother and son, and her daughter also understood the feelings of her first mother's divorce. Under the author's persuasion, teacher Jing Zi embarked on the road of finding her daughter and reuniting.
Marriage is both belonging and bondage, and the key depends on how you look at it. When Jing Zi divorced, her daughter chose to follow her father instead of her. Even divorce can't ruin the image of her father in the eyes of her children. She didn't tell her daughter that she would lay down her life to work because her father didn't earn enough money to spend.
This should belong to a mother's love for her children. You are a piece of meat that fell from her body. She cares about you, loves you, and can't bear to see you hurt and wronged. Now there is a saying circulating on the internet: you have to get married if you don't work hard Haha, getting married is the beginning of happiness for some people, but it is the beginning of nightmare for others. Marriage is a witness, a responsibility, more love, patience and tolerance. In managing marriage, everyone will have his philosophy. I hope everyone can create happiness, happiness and beauty in marriage.
