【21 Days of Green Living】Solve the last grain of rice in the bowl

Cooking from the epidemic

Due to the severe epidemic situation, the number of visits to traditional markets has been reduced. Most of them go to the fresh food supermarkets that require a real-name system to buy fresh food, wear masks, disinfect with alcohol, measure body temperature, scan the QR code and send out the text message, but I don’t feel restricted. On the contrary, I feel that it is very pleasant for everyone to work together, although I don’t know when this wave of epidemics will end.

Not only the business in traditional markets is bleak, but also because primary and secondary schools are closed, the livelihoods of vegetable vendors who supply school nutritious lunches are also greatly affected. Local governments and private institutions have a single direct purchase of vegetable boxes. Every week is like a surprise. Generally, I am curious about what kind of vegetables I will receive. Although the whole logistics was delayed for a long time, it is really hard for the logistics personnel. After all, all the purchases of items are from the Internet these days.

Stir-fried cabbage, tomato scrambled eggs and braised tofu, and my favorite, roasted squash.

Sure enough, it is better to fry the tofu first until golden brown. Although it is delicious, you should be more patient. It will definitely taste better. Sometimes you can't be too impatient.

My father in his hometown was worried about his daughters living abroad, so he specially sent vegetables he grew from Taitung. He didn't see his father for more than a month. Even though he said that he should not run around during the epidemic, I knew he missed us. Every time we call, he always shows off to us that he shares the vegetables he grows with his relatives and friends, but the corners of his mouth always rise!

My father is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. The life he yearns for is a rural life coexisting with nature. As a child, he still has a lot of worries and reluctance for his father who lives alone after his mother's death. That being said, birth, old age, sickness and death are not for everyone. Issues that will be faced? Even a father must face the loss and sadness of his life alone. We are each other's helpers. If we always carry each other's issues on our shoulders, not only will we not be able to continue, but we will also experience What this subject of life has to teach us.

Behind that grain of rice may be the reason why we have to finish it.

If you know the amount of food we waste every year , you will know that it has a lot to do with our consumption and eating habits. Maybe because of the family’s childhood farming relationship, you can especially know how much hard work and sweat behind a grain of rice. and the love of many for us.

You might as well give it a try. When you eat, enjoy him, put down your phone and turn off the TV, and chew this meal that gathers everyone's hard work. In addition to being grateful, I think it's more a pure and pure feeling to eat. this moment.
