After driving a taxi for 18 years, Chen Jianguo stayed in an old small house and raised his ten-year-old son alone. Life is full of the exhaustion of running around, the anxiety of going to school, and the blandness that others don't understand. The days can end in sight.
While carrying passengers late at night, he met an old man with an eccentric temperament. He kindly offered him a ride and got a pack of inconspicuous oil paper flakes in exchange. The old man only said: People with kind hearts will be blessed.
It was a small gift that he accepted casually, but it completely changed his life. After one night, he could actually hear the voices of fruits, vegetables and fish. Tomatoes cried out about the pain of ripening, eggs complained about the crowded cage, fresh meat concealed the confidence of the mountains and fields, and fresh fish chanted about the authentic cooking method.
The ancestral cooking skills that had been dormant for many years were awakened by this wonderful opportunity. He is no longer a taxi driver who only travels around, but a craftsman who can understand the ingredients and adapt to their original taste.
A bowl of simple tomato and egg noodles warmed my son's stomach; a few home-cooked side dishes concealed a heart-warming atmosphere. He has no earth-shattering ambitions, and does not seek wealth. He just wants to take care of his children, and with his good cooking skills, he can cook fireworks for the world in the noisy city and live an ordinary life in a down-to-earth and warm life.
