"Book of Rites" has a cloud: "Food, men and women, people's great desires exist." Food, color, sex are also. We live in groups in this world, all glitz can fade away, but the two basic needs of diet and men and women are also eternal. People take food as their heaven. In our country, food has been a major event in life since ancient times, and the color, flavor, and fragrance are not sloppy. The dining table is also home, and food is life!

There was no winner in the game between the three daughters and their father about the family. In the end, the broken family was reunited. The eldest daughter and the third daughter bravely pursued the life they wanted. The second daughter stayed with her elderly father, and the father welcomed him Here comes the rare "twilight love".

"Yeah, the reason why home is home is precisely because of that constant and unforgettable miss.

When Ang Lee was at the low point of his directorial career, he had no job for six years, and he did trivial things at home and was a man who "eats soft rice" for six years. Perhaps, it was in this kind of hard work that Li Anwu got his life.
Home is still home, life is still life. Lao Zhu has been a chef all his life, cooking for a lifetime, and then he realized that "life can't be like cooking, you have to prepare all the ingredients before you cook!"
We are all ordinary mortals. You can just use it to fill your stomach, or you can enjoy it on the tip of your tongue. A bowl of warm pumpkin porridge cooked by myself early in the morning, a lunch box prepared by my mother, a large table of home-cooked dishes prepared by my father on weekends, a lively gathering of a large family during the New Years and holidays... Delicious, miss, yes Caring, is sustenance. If you have a home, you can have food and life.
