? "Your Heart is Soft, But You Have Strength" is a collection of essays by Lin Qingxuan. There is one of my favorite articles in it called "A Bowl of Heart".
? ? This article tells the story of Lin Qingxuan's feeling of loss every winter solstice.
Because on this special day, the author always thinks of his mother and her mother’s fresh meat glutinous rice balls.
? Lin Qingxuan's mother's fresh meat glutinous rice balls are so delicious that every time I read this article, I feel very hungry. I always want to take out the fresh meat glutinous rice balls described in the article and taste them.
However, that is just a delusion.
? When I am delusional, I will think about some food-related movies, the restaurants I have been to that impressed me, and things in the past... ? Once, my parents and I watched a movie called "
Ratatouille cartoon.
This is a movie that I really enjoyed because it happens to be my favorite movie about food.
Across the TV screen, I seemed to smell the aroma of vegetables.
The plates of delicacies were placed in front of me, waiting for me to taste: the French cream soup had beautiful off-white patterns, and the rich milk fragrance floated leisurely; the shiny spoons were placed on the pure white
On the plate, scoop a spoonful of the thick soup, inhale the milky aroma deeply, then put it into your mouth and taste it slowly. The mellow aroma swirls and jumps, and your taste buds are affected by it. Well, it is simply delicious!
The fragrant and soft lava cake is covered with mouth-watering chocolate sauce, and the fragrance of cocoa beans is lingering.
Press it with a spoon, and a small opening will immediately appear, and the white glowing inner cavity will flow out... However, when it comes to the most realistic and delicious movies, we must also count "The Battle of the God of Cookery", a book that combines love and food.
There are all kinds of delicacies here, including traditional Chinese delicacies, Japanese classic sushi, and exquisite Western delicacies.
But I still think that the most important sentence in it is: "As a chef, your job is to make the people who eat happy." Don't you think so?
If a chef only cooks food for others to make money, will it be delicious?
Will the taster be happy with it?
Moreover, not only eating food cooked by others with care, but also eating it with your family, this is the most important thing!
When the God of Cookery ate the noodles made for him by his son, he remembered the good times he had spent with his son day and night, and looked back on the ups and downs he had gone through in the past ten years and couldn't help but shed tears.
This bowl of noodles contains my son’s efforts and understanding.
This is the taste of home, this is the taste of love.
? The food in the movie can be seen but not touched.
In reality, the restaurants my family and I visited gave me real delicious food.
I remember last summer, my parents and I went to a Western restaurant called "Green Town" for lunch.
As soon as I heard the name, I became excited and walked in happily.
When the gorgeous environment and exotic layout came into my eyes, I was sure in my heart: This must be my favorite Western restaurant!
Isn't it? The little copper elk turns back and roars, naughty and lively; the huge harp is placed in the hall, which is retro but not ungraceful; bouquets of flowers bloom on the lace tablecloth, adding to this beauty
The environment adds a touch of bright color.
In this store, the Western dessert that impressed me most was the "Almond Slice Bread". It was fragrant, and the golden bread had a few small almond slices on it. When you took a bite, it was sweet, not as sweet as honey, and not too sweet.
It is as odorless as boiling water and tastes just right. Our whole family loves it.
After reading Lin Qingxuan's article "One Bowl to the Heart", I have a new understanding of food, that is, whether it is the delicacies in movies or the delicacies in high-end restaurants, they are better than ordinary meals that are not at home.
The highest realm of gourmet food is the taste of home and the taste of love.
Dad’s favorite is lotus root soup. No one can make lotus root soup that suits my taste better than him!
As soon as I scooped out a bowl, bursts of aroma wafted out. The light brown soup was still swaying slightly in the bowl I had just put down. I couldn't help but want to drink it.
The porcelain bowl, the steel spoon, the unique fragrance and the sound of my parents talking, this is my happiest dinner time.
The taste of my mother is even more distinct. The aroma of the porridge she cooked lingers in my childhood memories.
When I was a child, I was frail and sick. I often took leave from kindergarten and was a frequent visitor to the hospital. Every time I fell ill, the porridge cooked by my mother was the only food for me: the warm and waxy beige porridge had one or two thin shreds of ginger and ginger floating on it.
A few strands of green cabbage leaves melt in your mouth, sweet and warm to the heart.
At that time, I was sucking in the endless runny nose and holding the porcelain spoon with my right hand. My mother's encouragement always sounded in my ears: "Drink this porridge, and your illness will be cured!" Now!
Thinking about it, I am really the happiest child in the world!
Lin Qingxuan's mother's fresh meat glutinous rice balls, his father's thick lotus root soup, and the porridge cooked by his mother. These are all the taste of love and home.
It is the spiritual food for every child to grow up.
