A somewhat frustrating opening. The store is small, and the female students are crowded in the store like sparrows chirping on a tree. The 76-year-old man tentatively applied for a job and took the initiative to drop his hourly wages again and again.
Ms. Dejiang said she has been making bean paste for fifty years. Chitaro said that he didn't like sweets and had never finished a single dorayaki.
It was probably not just the identity of the shop owner, but also the good taste of the bean paste, that made Chitaro abandon the convenient and quick finished bean paste and start to get up and cook the bean paste every day before dawn. There is probably a sense of steadiness that floats for a long time and finally falls to the ground.
This kind of steadfastness is a kind of certainty and not panic, a kind of familiar comfort, a kind of confidence to deal with everything. This kind of steadfastness is not like an ability that can be obtained after hard work, but more like a state of mind that suddenly opens up after a desperate situation.
Chitaro doesn't like dessert shops, but at the end of the movie, he sets up a stall selling dorayaki in a park full of cherry blossoms, next to the old dorayaki shop curtain. In the end, he shouted out the few words he muttered when he was drunk: Dorayaki, let's try it. At this time, he seemed to have crossed a hurdle in his heart and stretched the paper ball that had been together for a long time.
This is Chitaro's sudden enlightenment and his down-to-earth moment.
I really envy the people in this movie. Ms. Dejiang has been able to make bean paste for fifty years, and Chitaro decided to start selling delicious dorayaki, and the girl who had no money to go to cram school also entered high school. They are like three cobblestones in this era of rapid advancement, stable and reassured, knowing where they are going, knowing their next step, and then groping left and right, moving slowly.
I really envy their determined slowness.
Ms. Dejiang said that if you add sugar to red beans and boil them right away, it will always feel a little rude and you will have to wait a while. Chitaro asked, how long to wait. Ms. Dejiang said, two hours.
The bean paste should be cooked slowly, the days should pass slowly, and the confusion and frustration should be digested little by little.
I really want to use this kind of slowness to passively confront this fast-paced era.
The days go by so fast that all the elements of life are compressed. The world is so big that it is necessary to keep chasing horses to keep the borders of the world in sight. A flower no longer wants to wait from the seed; a story no longer wants to explore possible endings from the details of the story; a relationship no longer wants to go from acquaintance to acquaintance. If the result is hard to find, don’t get the result. If you need to worry about maintenance, just replace it with a new one. The happiness after suffering is not comparable to the happiness of the moment.
I want results too much, but forget the reason for pursuing results. I want to omit the process too much, but ignore the meaning of the existence of the process. In other words, because the reason for the reason is forgotten, the meaningless meaning cannot be clearly understood.
In the winter and spring chapters of "Little Forest", Shizi said when making red bean paste, don't be impatient. If you put sugar too early when making red bean filling, no matter how you cook it, the red beans will not be boiled.
So, wish me, I wish everyone can boil a pot of crispy sweet red bean paste as soon as possible.
