Renzi worked hard in the city, but one day after get off work, she found that her Indian boyfriend had left without saying anything, taking all her belongings with her. Caught off guard, she could not bear such a blow and lost the ability to speak. She had to return to her hometown, which she had not returned to for ten years, and borrowed money from her mother to run a restaurant named "Snail Canteen".
This small canteen not only has delicious food, but also has a magical feature: people who eat here can have their wishes come true. Because of this beautiful legend, many guests came here because of it, and Lunzi slowly opened his heart while interacting with them. After learning that her mother Liulizi was suffering from cancer, Renzi began to seriously think about her relationship with her mother, even though she had not gotten along well with her before. After gradually understanding her mother's good intentions, she slowly let go of the past with her mother.
In order to fulfill her mother's wish, Renzi personally slaughtered the pig that had been raised for a long time and made each part of it into different dishes. After her mother left, Renzi was depressed for a while. It wasn't until she accidentally discovered the letter her mother wrote to her that she slowly felt relieved and her life gradually got back on track.
In the book, all kinds of diners appear in turn, which makes Snail Canteen more humane. Xiong Sang, who was abandoned by his Argentinian wife, the young wife of a rich man whose lover has been dead for many years but has been in mourning for him, Tao Zi, a girl who hopes to be in love with her crush, Rabbit with anorexia...
< p> They come to Snail Canteen with unspeakable difficulties, heartbreaking past, and expectations for the future. But without exception, diners achieved their wishes. This is not magic, but Renzi's intention, relying on the taste of the food and the atmosphere of the cafeteria, to let the guests take off their guard and get what they want.Similarly, Renzi's long-term alienation from her mother is also one of her knots. She once thought that her mother was an indiscreet woman and felt that she had never had maternal love. However, during the days of running the canteen, she slowly reconciled with her mother.
Each of us is like a train, running on the track of growth, moving forward indomitably, wanting to stay away from the sloppiness of life, and wanting to see poetry and distant places. My mother was the stop along the way. She watched us leave with helplessness and reluctance, waving goodbye.
But when we saw that the so-called "distance" was full of desolation, when we ran out of fuel and were disappointed with ourselves, mother was still there, waiting for us to dock and wait for us to go home. .
The writing style of this book is simple and delicate, and every word has a magical healing effect. Perhaps just like Renzi's cooking, the author's words also subtly heal the readers.
I think there is nothing more reliable in this world than food. Every bite you take is swallowed solidly and either turned into energy or turned into fat. In short, it will take root in your body and become an indispensable part of you, accompanying you through this long life.
In other words, food is the companion with which human beings must live their lives. Because of food, you can have at least three moments of satisfaction and happiness in a day. Because of this "little luck", I have a reason to cherish every day.
Snail Cafeteria does not sell dishes made from snails, but refers to the dishes that Renzi makes with great care, and everyone she meets, like those who have read this book or are watching You guys are reading this article.
Carrying the shell given by life, like a snail, stubbornly and hardworking, moving forward with a heavy load. Although it is slow, it is extremely determined, because we are fed by food and nourished by love.
Finally, I would like to say something, which is partly Liulizi’s hope for Renzi and partly what I want to express:
Please live your life with more confidence.
Please step firmly on the ground and breathe.
Please cherish those who take you to eat delicious food.
Be kind to the person who cooks you a meal.
Because in this world, love and food are the only things you can’t live up to!
