Supermarket is the first warmth of a city.

To tell the truth, sometimes going to the supermarket can bring me more fun than going to the mall.

This idea came into being when I was in college far away. I remember not long after my freshman year, our dormitory fell in love with a Japanese supermarket. We often make an appointment to take a bus for half an hour on weekends, and eat a spicy Sichuan dish nearby first to sweep away the heat and humidity in summer. Then go to the herbal tea shop next to the supermarket and have a cup of iced fresh coconut juice, which seems to be the last ceremony before entering the supermarket. After drinking wine, I felt my stomach and strode into the supermarket. Most of us don't need vegetables, but we all have our own favorite directions. I like fresh food in the supermarket. I have my favorite milk, corn juice and all kinds of fruit juices. Buy a few bottles at a time and open one as soon as you check out. Xiao Xuan likes the cold noodles and freshly baked roast duck and goose, while Xiaoying likes all kinds of snacks. Every time we set out, we agreed to buy only what we like best. After all, it's not easy to carry it all the way back, but as soon as I entered, I regarded the supermarket as a huge doll machine and wanted to catch everything. Two big bags per capita are standard. After going out, wait for an urgent bus in the hot sun or simply take a taxi back to the dormitory.

Whenever we make a scene all morning, we will use a nap to wake up naturally to cushion and reward. When I wake up and look at the shopping bags under each other's desks, I feel infinite joy. At that time, everything in that city was strange to us, but with the friendship of shopping in the supermarket together, we were always grateful in the years to come.

Later, we were far apart. After graduation, I went to school in the United States and unconsciously became more dependent on supermarkets. I remember the day after I arrived, I was taken to a big supermarket nearby by my roommate. It's like entering a new world. The bustling crowds and dazzling shelves are simply novel. There are more than 60 different flavors of salad dressing. I could hardly move before I came to the yogurt cabinet. Different fat content, different fruit flavors, different farms, different taste categories, my brain is spinning at high speed, but I still can't decide. I can only change a few different flavors every time I go, and I hope I can taste them in the future. When I first arrived here, I didn't expect that even the classification of beef there was complete, and each part had different characters. I am amazed at my still thin vocabulary.

From then on, no homework can occupy my shopping time every week. Often when writing a paper in the library, my friend sends a text message "Go to the supermarket now?" I agreed happily and ran out of the door with my computer in my arms. That became my most tiring activity during recess. Just browsing will make me feel happy, even if I buy few things. Later, I found that this may be a valuable way to distract my attention. Every time I return to the library after a visit, my mind will be much broadened. For writing, temporary emptiness helps me to be more immersed and integrate more ideas in the future.

In this way, I have been to many supermarkets near the town and in Philadelphia, new york. They have their own advantages and disadvantages, like a huge kaleidoscope, which brilliantly adorns my ordinary life. Speaking of myself, I am really a very lucky person. Although I didn't have a car at that time, I was surrounded by friends who could take me to the supermarket in my busy schedule. I remember Sun Xiaomeng often asked me to go to wegmans (an organic supermarket) at night to buy the best matcha ice cream. I remember that during the review week, Tao Tao would take me to a Korean supermarket to buy steaming tofu soup. I remember that Big Week, which likes seafood, took me to pick out fresh lobsters and crabs, as well as lovely roommates. Every time he has time, he will go to the supermarket to buy it collectively, and then everyone will cook a dish and talk while eating.

It can be said that the supermarket gave me the courage to better integrate and fall in love with this strange place. Every smile of the cashier in the supermarket makes me feel the goodwill of this town. There, I love life itself more than the atmosphere of the school.

Once I asked my roommate Xiaoqing, "When did you start to like your boyfriend?"

She smiled and said, "Since we went to the supermarket together, he has been taking the same brand of potato chips and various snacks with me, which is very coincidental every time."

So it is also a kind of like-minded tacit understanding to go to the supermarket with people you like to pick things you like.

Maybe it was all because of one person. I envy the couples around me who go to the supermarket to buy food every week and then take it home to cook. In my opinion, it's really like living. Life goes by in a hurry. Generally, I move once a year, clothes can be eliminated in time, and books can be bought at any time, but the feeling of going to the supermarket to choose ingredients together is hard to replace.

The first time I went to Sam Club Supermarket with my friends left a deep impression on me. This is a typical American family supermarket. All items are packed in standard family extra-large packages, including 30 eggs, fruit bags and even 8 pieces of bread. When I saw a typical American family with two children, I suddenly felt very lost. At that time, I thought it would be great if someone accompanied me to such a supermarket one day. During the two years of studying abroad, I went to Sam no more than five times, and every time I just bought some favorite croissants or large boxes of milk, because only they would make me sure that I could sell them within the shelf life. In my opinion, Sam supermarket means the existence of "home".

Later, I like to go to new york or Philadelphia on weekends and visit the China supermarket there. Most of them buy familiar sauces or long-lost snacks, such as a Want Want gift package before the Spring Festival or a box of moon cakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many snacks that I ate as a child but haven't tasted for many years have flooded into my shopping cart again, such as Rowen Fresh, Peanut Crisp and QQ Sugar. Eating and eating seems to be regaining a memory.

At this time, looking for hometown food in the supermarket in a foreign land has become a nostalgic maintenance. Not because the taste inside is amazing, but because I want to take it out to block the wind in my heart on a cold and deserted night.

After returning to China, I stumbled across a branch of Sam Club in Beijing one day. I was in high spirits and went to get an annual card with him at the first time. Everything is like a dream. I introduced him to what I like to eat and use, and he was attracted by this huge operating model. So we stock up regularly.

Later, we often went to the supermarket together. Only then did I know why there are always men pushing women in shopping carts to the fixed bridge of the supermarket in Korean dramas, because the process is really sweet and beautiful. From choosing favorite ingredients, to discovering new things together, and then moving home to become delicious food, supermarkets have become the warmth of this city. Last weekend, we went out to eat. After eating, we want to take a walk. Suddenly, we found a foreign supermarket at the corner and walked in without hesitation. He chose my favorite matcha biscuit for me, and I chose German beer that he might like. In fact, it's great to pick out what we like best. Because someone already knows your preferences, you can do anything directly without looking.

When you think of a strange city here, there will be someone who appreciates each other, works hard together and shares the beauty of life with you. Life is full of hope.

Think that romance is the scene; Finally, everything is poetry.
