When you reach middle age, no matter how tired or busy you are, you should never let down your heart.

Everything has spirituality. In life, everything that appears in front of you is fate. When we treat everything with the eyes of love and the feeling of love, we learn to enjoy life.

Food and color are also related to food, so let’s talk about food. I don’t know how long ago, whether our taste buds have degenerated or crops have been upgraded too frequently, many fruits and vegetables just can’t taste the same as our childhood. Some of the things we must eat every day have gradually changed in our habits.

For example, watermelon. What I remember most is a time when I went to the street with my little boy to "hand over public grain" (this word must be noted because it has become a historical term, and future children may have to struggle to understand or even recite the entry). I met a watermelon seller on the road and exchanged wheat for a watermelon. When I weighed it, it weighed over 20 kilograms! Well, on a hot day, open up the watermelon and eat it! Guess what, we two 17- and 8-year-old teenagers ate it all in one sitting - really ate it.

If you buy a watermelon now, it only weighs seven or eight pounds. It is difficult for a family to eat it in one meal.

There are also tomatoes. When I was a child, these things were simply a snack. I would eat 5 or 6 raw ones any day. But now, apart from cooking, these things have no other temptations.

There is no need to go into details about other things. The changes in the taste of fruits, melons and vegetables have long been transformed into a habit that people turn a blind eye to, and they have even gradually withdrawn from people's conversation after dinner.

When I was wandering abroad early on, my interactions with my hometown became occasional visits to my hometown, hurriedly finishing things, and hurriedly traveling to other places. This even led to all kinds of "home is where, and where is home". Confusion comes. Watermelon has also become a garnish after meals, or you can occasionally taste a few pieces. When you eat it again, it is difficult to have the boldness of eating a large piece.

During this period, due to the needs of the project, I had the opportunity to live alone in my hometown. No, I met the watermelon from my hometown again. Of course, the old varieties are almost impossible to find, but a special small watermelon has become a hot commodity. And he also has a more comfortable name - Xia Bao.

This melon is produced in Xia County and can be interpreted in many ways, including Xia County’s treasure, Xia Bao’s treasure, or a handsome boy and beautiful girl named Xia Bao. What a great name.

When I was a child, watermelon and steamed buns were often the only meal in my hometown. Just wash and cut the watermelon, put it on the steamed buns and eat it as a meal.

This time I can often experience this kind of addiction. According to the process in the past impression, I bought thousands of watermelons, washed the soil on them, took a knife, cut off the melon base first, then wiped the knife clean, cut the melon in half, and cut it into small pieces. Just hold it in the way you eat it and eat it to your heart's content. Unexpectedly, as soon as the blade touched the skin of the melon, the tight watermelon burst open with a bang, and the bright red and sandy melon flesh showed an attractive appearance.

I cut it into pieces and took a bite. The sweet taste was refreshing, and the sandy texture teased my taste buds... It felt quite enjoyable. Taking another bite of the steamed bun, you can truly feel the watermelon juice soaking into the steamed bun. The wheat aroma of the steamed bun and the sweetness of the watermelon instantly merge in your mouth. It is a very authentic and neutral feeling, which is wonderful.

Enjoy watermelon with love, and live up to its delicious taste and nutrition, and live up to your own longing heart.

The community where I live is well managed, with automatic sensor gates and no cars with registered license plates. It is impossible to drive in anyway, so although the community is long and narrow, it is not congested.

In addition, this community is on the edge of the city, which can also be said to be a village in the city. Grocery shopping is a bit of a walk away. So every time I buy melons, I only buy one to avoid the hassle of carrying them back.

One time when I went out, I saw a small three-wheeler in the yard, carrying a car full of "Xia Bao", where the vendors were selling. I thought I would buy some when I came back and store them at home so that I could eat them anytime, but when I returned, the melon vendor had disappeared.

Later, during lunch break, I heard a hawking sound downstairs. When I walked to the window, the car had already rushed to the gate. I would definitely not hear the shouting, let alone chase.

Another day when I went out to pick up a courier, I met another three-wheeler carrying a cart of Xia Bao. Several women were surrounded by them, asking for prices and wondering whether to buy it first or send it back. Wait until you get back to buy it. Later, if you want to pick it up by express delivery, it will not take up time. If you are there when you return, buy it. If you are not there, just let nature take its course.

Sure enough, when I picked up the express and returned, the melon seller was packing up his stall and preparing to evacuate. A woman holding half a piece of watermelon was returning, obviously without a deal.

"Is it sweet?" Seeing the woman's mouth full of juice, she couldn't help but ask.

"It's sweet, but it doesn't look good. (Referring to the fact that the watermelon doesn't look good and doesn't stand out)" the woman said while smiling sheepishly.

I came to the melon seller Sanlun and asked for some watermelons. The melon sellers were a middle-aged couple. The woman was busy picking melons for me, asking whether I wanted a big one or a small one, while the man was expressionlessly holding a half-packed weighing scale and holding it aside.

"How much does it cost per pound?" I just asked mechanically.

"Fifty cents a pound, forget it!" The woman answered quickly and succinctly. These watermelons are much smaller than those in the supermarket, where the price is 3 yuan per pound.

After crossing the scale and paying the money, I said to the vendor: "Actually, I don't think it's easy for you to come in once. Why don't you go around the community and shout, someone should buy it." A seemingly comforting word, But it seemed to arouse a little trouble in the male vendor, and said: "No, if you can't sell it, just dump it." He saw half of the watermelon he had just opened next to the car, and as he said that, he picked it up and threw it into the trash. in the barrel.

On the way back to the unit building carrying the watermelon, I heard the sound of a car starting. Looking back, I saw that the couple really drove away in a three-wheeler loaded with watermelons.

I saw in the news on my mobile phone that there is a bumper harvest of watermelons here, but it is extremely difficult for farmers to go to the city to sell melons.

During this period, especially since last winter, many people have lost their jobs due to the impact of the general environment. , or the business went bankrupt and changed careers, etc.

A friend who has been with me for many years bought a house in the suburbs of Beijing with a mortgage just a few years ago. During this special period, various money-making opportunities provided by phone and WeChat were restricted due to various reasons. So he blocked me out of anger, probably to the point of cutting off his robe and arm.

A few months ago, when the epidemic situation improved slightly, I drove to Xi'an and met with mentors and friends I had not seen for a long time. I stayed for a few days. When I returned to my hometown, I remembered that Youfa had gone to my city specifically when I was young. After looking for me, we met again in my hometown.

This young man has an advantage. He thinks very broadly and has been busy for decades. Every time he meets someone, he starts a business or develops a certain project. There are gains and losses, so I won’t go into details here.

This time he set his sights on the health care industry again and asked for my opinion. I thought it was feasible and encouraged his career. Sure enough, when he decided to do this, friends from all walks of life came one after another and various resources were connected smoothly. In his words, it's just like the wind and the rain. It's just like this.

Starting from the idea, the site selection has not yet been made. On the edge of the new building is a health and wellness industry street that is being formed. A friend provided a large single-family house with three floors and several hundred square meters. ; Although the rent is not too expensive, Fa Xiao and I are still investing in another project. The cash flow is still not very abundant at the moment, and there are other companies willing to bear most of the rent and move in at the same time. If we are short of equipment, friends will immediately provide resources or even stay for free. We were short of doctors, so a professor from the Central Hospital came to join us; we were short of copywriters and planners, but coincidentally, my free time was fully arranged with him. As a result, a brand-new "wellness center" was built from idea to opening in just one month. About to make a grand appearance.

The name of the center comes from the brand and the company it owns. The logo was independently completed by myself and incorporated the Five Elements Reciprocity suggested by my tutors.

After the decoration was completed, an impressive couplet was hung, which was also written by me and inscribed by a local famous artist (the famous artist is still out of town, and the work should be couriered back soon). The content is:

Adjusting the Five Elements and Meridians, Precise Medicine and Dedication

Love comes from the heart and the practice of Yuanhedao

Fang Tu wrote a couplet, XX book< /p>

The scope of health care is very large, but after all, I love this career, so I enjoy it.

Just like the watermelon on the desk, I love it, so I enjoy its taste.

If you love things like this, why not love people the same way!
