A Meal Partner in a Small Town
About This Novel
The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts In two opposite doors on Qingshi Street in the small town, there live two "trouble insulators". Chen You, the most diligent young policewoman in the police station, can recite the sentiments of the people in her jurisdiction, but she can't manage her own three meals a day. Her life is filled with takeaway bags of spicy hotpot and fried chicken milk tea. Her kitchen is as brand-new as a model house, and stomach medicine and band-aids are a must-have. She firmly believes that eating is to live, and living is to work. Qu Yizhen, a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, could memorize the "Huangdi Neijing" by heart, but his hands shook like leaves in the autumn wind when giving acupuncture to patients. He believes that "food and medicine come from the same source". When buying vegetables, you have to use dewy food, and when cooking porridge, you have to hold the time. Seeing a takeout bag is like seeing a walking "spleen and stomach disease", and you can twist your eyebrows into the Chinese character "Sichuan". From the "narrow encounter between spicy hot pot and vegetable ribs", to "the tenderness of a bowl of hot soup that breaks the ice", to the "wonderful linkage of anti-fraud and health preservation"... This tug-of-war that started with "eating" finally created unexpected warmth. It turns out that the deepest healing is hidden in the trivial things of daily necessities, rice, oil, and salt; the strongest connection is just the words "The meal is ready, come and eat." This is a story about eating well and falling in love slowly. It tells you: The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to mortal hearts. And love is to find the person who is willing to eat many, many meals with you and light up each other's lives in ordinary daily life. --Your meal partner may be just a bowl of hot soup away.
