Thoughts on Reading Lin Qingxuan's Coarse Sea Salt

Lin Qingxuan, a writer from Taiwan Province Province, once visited a friend's house and ate fried peanuts there. He found the taste unusual, very fragrant and delicious, so he was curious and asked his friends about this method of frying peanuts. His friend told him that there was nothing but frying them with coarse sea salt.

This has led to a series of associations among writers, from coarse salt to coarse cotton and coarse cloth, and now more and more delicious food.

Send out such feelings: "Although some old things are rough, they have extraordinary value, such as the coarse cotton cloth and coarse linen we wore many years ago, which are still pursued by top fashion."

"We constantly make food exquisite, but we are actually creating disasters for ourselves."

In the era of over-processing and over-refining, we have created huge blind spots and passed them on to the next generation, mistakenly thinking that processing and refining are good, while those traditional and natural things have been abandoned.

Hidden meditation, indeed! All along, what we have been pursuing tirelessly is good, good, good, and constantly good! Refine and refine, but ignore what is really "good"? I mistakenly thought that "luxury food" would be good!

When I was a child, it was probably the summer of the fifth grade in primary school. Father went out of town in the morning and brought back a piece of cloth at night. I clearly remember that it was a pink dacron cloth (pink is a girl's favorite, and my father is really good at choosing colors).

In that era of material poverty, there was a fashionable dacron coat. What a luxury!

I don't know why my father wants Labu to make clothes for his sisters, and I don't know where Labu's money comes from. May be sold blood to buy (now that I think about it, my heart is bleeding. At that time, the family was very poor, and parents had no choice but to sell blood for our study.

Although we were a little sensible at that time, we felt sorry for our parents and said "no, no", but we were still very happy.

It's been day and night since the cloth was delivered to the tailor. I can't wait to sew it a day earlier.

This day has finally arrived. I brought my new clothes back and couldn't wait to put them on. I am so excited. Be careful, baby. I have been wearing rags and coarse cloth. How to wear such good clothes?

It's unnatural to start walking and doing things, for fear of getting dirty and ruining it. When I go to school, I will jump, walk with the wind, and even walk and run, so that I can show off in front of my classmates early! (It's really sad and ridiculous to think about it now)

That was the first time I wore anything other than cotton. At that time, cotton represented "old-fashioned" and chemical fiber represented "fashion". Later, life became better and better, and clothes gradually developed from cotton cloth to chemical fiber.

Now it tends to be retro, and gradually returns to the cotton era from the chemical fiber era. I personally experienced it and found that pure cotton is the most comfortable to wear.

This is the feeling of wearing and eating. As the writer Lin said, "The rougher, the healthier, just like brown rice is better than white rice, rye bread is better than white bread, and natural food is better than processed food. We constantly make food exquisite, but we are actually creating harm for ourselves. "

Pursuing sensory stimulation and taste enjoyment blindly, adding this seasoning and that refreshing agent to food is only a temporary taste enjoyment, which is not good for the body.

Now all kinds of strange diseases emerge one after another. In fact, they are closely related to our life and diet, but knowing this, where can we find real pure natural food from the source?

Looking back on the past, I know it's good to live on simple food.

But I can't go back!
