It is often said that "food can heal everything". Have you ever experienced those moments when you are healed by food?

The desire for food is a human instinct.

When you are sad and lost, you should block out all outside sounds, don't want to connect with the world, and stay within the boundaries that you think are safe. But when you smell a sweet fragrance, all the walls you built can collapse instantly.

At this moment, you feel that you are truly alive.

In many unbearable moments, as long as there is a little glimmer of light, it seems that it can save our entire life and tell ourselves that we can still persist in this fucked up life.

Even a simple meal can bring powerful healing power to a person's lowest moments.

And this power can be passed on.

In the second half of the suspenseful Japanese drama "It's Your Turn" that I recently watched, this scene will appear in almost every episode: The male protagonist Shota Tezuka asks his neighbor in Room 304, Nikaido Shinobu, to help him investigate the case.

Carrying a bowl of small hot pot, go to the other person's house and sit there, asking to eat together.

The second male lead, as an indifferent top IT man, not only has poor communication skills, but also has a partial eclipse and only eats concentrated nutritional packets every day.

But she couldn't resist the male protagonist's passionate offensive of "hot pot diplomacy", and gradually opened her heart. Over each hot pot meal, she and the male protagonist gradually became close friends.

I'm a person who doesn't have much desire for food. Although I don't eat concentrated nutrition packets every day like Nikaido Shinobu, I still have my own fixed food.

It’s not that there aren’t more choices, but I just feel like simplicity is fine and I’m not that particular about what I eat.

But when I get along with my friends, I find that almost every gathering starts with delicious food.

When you want to meet a friend, you don't directly say to them, "Let's meet tonight." Instead, you say, "Let's have dinner together tonight?" Then the other person will tell you where there is a delicious restaurant.

, what is the delicious food in which restaurant, he will tell you in detail. Among the delicacies he describes, you will also be infected by his enthusiasm, and then you will have imagination about those delicacies and imagine the other person's taste at this time.

expression.

Originally, it was just a thought of missing each other, but it was contained in the phrase "Let's have dinner tonight", which was not a good match.

Perhaps, as said in a certain movie: "To love someone is to eat a lot of food with him." But when did we start, when we want to express our love, we choose to use food

to replace.

In the Korean drama "The Beautiful Sister Who Always Invites Me to Dinner", the male protagonist Junxi always keeps asking the female protagonist Zhenya, "Please treat me to dinner tomorrow night." Every time Zhenya refuses because she is busy, or

I originally agreed but broke the appointment due to some work matters.

Every time Junxi asked this question, Zhenya gradually became confused, why does he always ask me to treat him to dinner?

There are no elaborate dates with exquisite dressing up, and there is no intimacy between lovers. Every time they meet, they just eat and then send the heroine home. They are no different from ordinary urban young men and women in reality.

But it was through every meal we had together that we got to know each other more deeply. It turned out that the younger brother was not just a younger brother, but a mature and responsible man, and the older sister was not just an older sister, but the woman she had always admired.

Every time they had a meal, the love between them grew stronger, and every time they were sent home, the distance between them became a little closer.

Junxi and Zhenya had dinner three times, and Junxi also happened to send Zhenya home three times. From the initial cheerful farewell and casual meeting, to Zhenya's constant turning back, Junxi was reluctant to leave.

, as well as the smiles and small movements of the two people when they said good night to each other, every small change is the pace of love getting closer a little bit.

Therefore, when you cannot express your love directly, it is better to treat the other person to a few more meals.

From getting along normally, chatting about daily life, to slowly expressing your thoughts and opinions, to expressing your feelings bit by bit, you will gain your love in this step-by-step process.

In the opening scene of the movie "Midnight Diner", the gangster brother Aaron comes to the store and orders an octopus sausage.

The regulars here are getting used to it and are puzzled: Why does Aaron only order this dish every time he comes?

Later I learned that Aaron’s first girlfriend always put octopus sausage in bento boxes for him.

Behind the simple taste is a kind of nostalgia, one's own youth, and a kind of regret.

I remember that there was such a plot in "Why Shengxiao is Silent".

He Yichen picked up Zhao Mosheng from get off work and went to eat.

He took her to the house he often went to.

It’s not because of anything else, just because the fried bamboo shoots in this store are so authentic and have the taste of hometown.
