It was not until I opened the book Married Dining Hall 2 that I found the answer to the question from the emotional story behind the food in the book: "It is not only marriage that can bring happiness. If there is someone around me who can share happiness and sadness, then happiness will be doubled and pain will be halved. Therefore, only when I try to find the person I love, I will not give up choosing the lifestyle I like, so that I can live my wonderful life and get closer to happiness step by step. "
Keiko Yamaguchi, the author of this book, is a member of the Japan Association of Reasoning Writers. She used to work in the staff canteen of Marunouchi News Cooperative, while writing novels, and she had 43 failed blind dates. She first appeared in the literary world at the age of 55, and became a best-selling novelist with a series of novels such as The Married Canteen and The Canteen Maid. Her works were shortlisted for the Yoshikawa Eiji Library Award and won the 20th Seicho Matsumoto Prize for Under the Moon.
The so-called marriage and love activities refer to all kinds of social activities to find the object of marriage and love, including both offline dating activities based on marriage and love agencies and online communication activities based on dating software.
The wedding canteen is a beautiful canteen opened by Sakamoto, a single Japanese woman in her fifties. Kei used to be a famous fortune teller, but later she was burned to death in a hotel fire. Because her husband had an affair with his assistant, she was considered to have insufficient predictive ability and lost her reputation.
Huipan, who lost her divination ability, left the Meigumi canteen on the verge of bankruptcy. The real estate tycoon who rented it to Hui store was Wei Ju, Hui's divination master, and his adopted son Zhenxing Temple, so they formed an indissoluble bond.
Mei Gu Mi canteen run by Hui mainly sells large dishes and Guandong cooking. She often uses seasonal ingredients to make some special dishes that change with the seasons, which is very popular with diners.
For example, the first autumn specialty made in Shu Hui is mackerel soaked in vinegar. The specific method is to soak the sliced mackerel slices in sugar and salt in turn, drain the excess water to make them tasty, then soak them in vinegar soaked in kelp in advance, and pour them into the broth for about 15 minutes. The cooked fish not only melts in the mouth, but also tastes delicious.
Hui not only makes delicious food carefully, but also recommends the best wine to customers who come to eat before. She not only provides services for customers, but also helps them to adjust their bad mood and mood. She encouraged older young women who came to dinner not to give up looking for lovers who would accompany them online and offline for the rest of their lives, but also encouraged them to find their favorite lifestyle and a wonderful life in live high.
Hui, who is full of love and positive energy, not only creates the food that customers like with her love for life, but also helps customers predict their fate with her sixth sense, which is much stronger than ordinary people, and carefully guards her customers to reap their own love and happiness.
With the influx of western money worship, there was once a vulgar view of love in society: "I would rather laugh on a BMW than cry on a bicycle." This used to be a way for girls to lie flat, because they didn't want to suffer the hardships in life.
In the book, Fan Zhen, who came to Meigu Dining Hall, got a doctorate. In order to get a formal job in the university, she would like to be an extramarital lover of her university teacher. When they came to Meigumi Restaurant together, Fan Zhen was passive and humble, while her teacher was overbearing and insolent, which was very unpopular.
If the university teacher in Zhen Fan failed to help her realize her dream, she chose to become a member of a matchmaking agency and tried to marry an elderly and successful uncle to provide financial support for her research. Even if she doesn't love each other, her psychology of realizing her dream through marriage is almost used by a man with underworld background and ulterior motives.
Fortunately, Hui helped to see through the motives of bad matchmaking agencies and black-hearted men early, so as to stop falling into the trap in time. In addition, Fan Zhen met Mrs. Liang, her high school classmate, in Mei Gu Mi canteen, and found that he was the one she really loved. With the help of Hui, two older men and women who sincerely love each other finally become enviable life partners.
Chai Tian Youcai, who has come to Migumi canteen for dinner, is doing routine work in a school. She has a good appearance and figure, but it is difficult for her to give full play to her personal charm. When I am with her, there is always an unspeakable sense of tension.
At first, Cai Hui suggested that talented people should contact more people through online dating software, and give timely communication opinions and suggestions. After several attempts, Youcai was either inhuman or cheated, until one time Youcai tried to refit and renovate the old kimono left by her grandmother and was praised by other customers in Huihe canteen. Youcai found that she finally found a career she loved to do.
Youcai devoted herself to refurbishing kimonos for online customers after work, and gradually found her mission and significance in life from the reputation and recognition of customers, and the whole person also showed vitality and brilliance.
I gradually feel that a person can live a good life as long as he finds the joy of life. This attracted the attention of Mr. Asami, the owner of the cloth shop who saw his clothes on the Internet. They met to eat Guandong cooking in the Huis Meigu rice canteen, and fell in love at first sight.
I was in a hurry to get married, but I never got the lottery I wanted. While learning to be alone calmly, I ushered in my real destiny, just in response to the classic sentence: If you are in full bloom, the butterfly will come, if you are wonderful, arrange it yourself.
The book Married Dining Hall 2 takes Hui, the female boss of Meigu Rice Hall, as the starting point. Through five special seasonal dishes made with suitable wine, this paper tells the love and marriage story between her and several frequent customers in the food store, showing their different views on marriage and love and their pursuit of happiness, which is bittersweet, warm and healing.
