Learning to cook means learning to make a living and make love.

When I was very young, I often went shopping with my grandmother.

This old lady, who has been cooking all her life, always consciously teaches me to tell the freshness of pork, whether eggplant is old or tender, and whether vegetables are pesticides. ......

When I got home, my grandmother gave me a small chair, let me sit down, help her peel beans, pick vegetables and do some small things that I can.

At that time, I was repeating these simple tasks in a daze, but I didn't understand that my grandmother was teaching me to cook and teach me the most ordinary but extraordinary things in my life.

Now that I have grown up, I always feel relaxed and happy when I walk alone in the fresh food section of the supermarket.

Seeing the exquisite and beautiful cups, plates and bowls, I can't help but want to take them all home.

If you cook a good meal when you are unhappy, you will no longer be afraid of ups and downs.

It turns out that daily necessities are also a kind of growth and practice.

Because, food contains the world, and cooking also contains ten thousand kinds of dried Kun.

? So you must learn to cook, not only to fill your stomach, but also to heal yourself with food and energy in this gentle and cruel world. ?

Cooking is a survival skill.

Japanese cancer mother Qian Hui risked her life to give birth to her daughter Ahua. Unfortunately, the cancer cells spread and her life entered the countdown.

This strong and brave mother wants to leave her daughter a lifetime legacy before she dies.

After much reasoning, Qian Hui decided to teach her daughter to cook, because learning to cook means the formation of viability.

On Ahua's 4th birthday, her mother gave her an apron as a birthday present and began to consciously train her to cut vegetables and make soup.

So, the little girl, who is not as high as the stove, stepped on a small stool, picked up a kitchen knife and spatula trembling, fiddled with pots and pans with her tender little hands, and blended the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Other children are still spoiled in their parents' arms, and Ahua has been wearing an apron to take care of the family's stomach and mood.

Mother is naturally distressed, but she can only make up her mind to push her daughter into the temper and test of life.

She said:

"Jen, cooking is closely related to life. I want to teach you how to hold a kitchen knife and how to do housework.

Learning can be put in the second place. As long as you are healthy and self-reliant, you can live no matter where you go or what you do in the future. "

The dish cooked by Ahua

Self-reliance? Now it has been simplified to high marks and high salaries by many parents, and the phrase "You just study hard and don't care about anything else" has become their mantra.

Children who live alone when they grow up often eat takeout, and gastrointestinal problems emerge one after another.

People who can't even take care of their health, how can they shake hands with life?

From this perspective, the mother of the little girl Ahua has good intentions.

Qian Hui died before her daughter was five years old.

Ahua's father was depressed, but he was saved by his daughter's brown rice and miso soup made on tiptoe.

Father and daughter live alone and continue to muddle along in the pain of losing their wives and mothers.

Adult ahua

Ahua's life will not be too bad, because she will not wronged her heart and stomach, know how to love herself and others, and will never let go of her cowardice and pain under any circumstances.

Teaching a child to cook is teaching him to make a living and make love.

Cooking is an art of life.

I have met some girls who always turn pale when it comes to cooking.

When talking about this topic, they fiddled with their new nails and proudly said that they were raised by rich people.

Cooking always seems to have a faint smoky smell, which makes people involuntarily think of the yellow-faced woman who walks around the stove, prepares soup and keeps looking at autumn water at the table.

Therefore, girls' subconscious resistance may not be cooking, but a sad life of becoming housewives and losing themselves.

I had such prejudice. After all, I have witnessed my grandmother and mother put their youth into a porridge and a meal, so I can't wait to escape that fate.

When I was a teenager, I only hoped that I could gallop in the workplace in high heels in the future, but I never wanted to bow my head and frown and wash my hands to make bridal soup.

Until I visited a professor's house in college, his wife wore a long linen dress and cut the fruit and put it on a plate.

There are oranges, kiwis and strawberries, which can't be said to be so complicated, but when you put them in your heart, the whole fruit bowl will be full of vitality and beauty.

I glanced at the kitchen quietly and saw Jenny with long hair, quietly cutting beef. Their kitchen is clean and tidy, and there is a bottle of light purple dried flowers on the stove.

The dinner that day was very rich. Braised beef is served in a big blue-and-white bowl, cold preserved eggs are in full bloom, vegetables are lined with white porcelain plates, and a table is lively and fragrant.

Jenny enthusiastically introduced us to the practice of each dish and told us with a smile:

"I like cooking very much. Seeing them become delicious in my hands, my satisfaction and happiness are beyond words. "

The professor looked at his wife with admiration and loving eyes and repeatedly said that her wife had worked hard.

It turns out that there really is a woman who can turn rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea into piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops.

We worship and ask questions, and then we know that Jenny mainly focuses on aesthetic research and has a good understanding of food. She said something to us at that time, which is still unforgettable.

She said: "Women cook not to please their husbands and families, but to make life better. Because cooking itself is an art. "

People who can express their aesthetic taste and exquisite thoughts with a meal naturally know how to get out of the heavy pressure of life and live a full life.

Cooking is a gift of love.

I have been married to Mr. Gao for less than a year, gained a few pounds, and my weak body is gradually improving.

Because he tried his best to develop many nutritious and delicious dishes, which greatly aroused my appetite and strengthened my body.

Yam tonifies the kidney, nourishes tendons and beautifies tomatoes. He studied various recipes and improved the processing according to my physical condition.

Because those starches, fats and vitamins can bring endless energy and make me healthy and beautiful.

I feel very happy and understand why I want to marry a man who can cook for you.

Because of its flesh and blood, eat drink man woman needs the support of whole grains, meat, fruits and vegetables.

When you really fall in love with someone, you will naturally want to give her the best and hide your affection in a porridge and a meal.

You will be afraid that she can't eat well, and you can't wait to fire yourself and bring the richness and beauty of the whole world to her.

The temperature of the kitchen largely determines the temperature of a home.

The world between the square inches is full of flavors, and the lively and warm aroma comes to the nose. Some people have poured a lot of love.

We finely chop up the ups and downs on the chopping board and slowly fry the joys and sorrows in the oil pan.

The long flowing water of life is actually in these little happiness and joy.

You can cook. When you become a parent, you will know how to exercise your little body into strong bones and muscles. When parents are old, they also know how to comfort the old, the weak and the sick with diet.

In fact, the most natural expression of love to the depths is just a whisper: "Are you hungry? Shall I cook noodles for you? "

Cooking is a life practice.

Su Dongpo, a gifted scholar in the Song Dynasty, was the best foodie who could write articles and poems.

But what is different is not the delicacies in the splendid chapters, but the wonderful hands of a pair of talented people who can write and cook, and invented a series of delicious food named after Dongpo. They eat happily, live happily and always have a good time.

Su Shi was demoted three times in his life. Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou were all barren places at that time, far away from the rivers and lakes, and in physical exile, he probably had that ambition and * * *.

However, in his poems, there is little melancholy and pessimism, but the broad-minded optimism and carefree life, which has been vivid in the book and has become the comfort of many people who have fallen to the world.

This should have something to do with his love, eating ability and being good at cooking.

Huangzhou is far away and life is hard, but Su Shi created a "Dongpo Meat", which was delicious and colorful, and was passed down as a beautiful talk with his poems.

He lived in Danzhou in his later years and invented Dongpo decoction, which was regarded as a classic by later generations.

Not to mention Dongpo elbow Dongpo tofu and so on.

I guess, when cooking these tempting delicacies with my own hands, Perilla's heart should be calm, like water drops pouring into the sea, calm but generous.

Because, he saw the gentleness in plain life.

The food tour of Perilla frutescens should be a good life practice. Stir-frying and cooking are tempering, and ups and downs are the flavor of life. Therefore, it is written that there are joys and sorrows in life, and also that people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has ups and downs.

Eat all the way, not afraid of mountains and rivers, not afraid of sinister people.

Anyway, there are a pair of hands and a heart, as well as all kinds of delicious food in the north and south of the river. There are scenery everywhere in the world and friends everywhere in life.

In this way, ordinary ingredients can be turned into magic. With a heart and hands that are good at discovering and making beauty, we can live the poetry and distance in the eyes of others.

When you don't know what to do, you cook. When you are full, your heart will not be empty.

Those who have eaten tears can go on, and those who have eaten tears can go further.

Because the immortal faith and the immortal dream still shine in my heart.
