"Eating isn't just to fill one's stomach. It has many other meanings. Different occasions have different functions.
For example, when the emperor invites his ministers to a banquet, it's a celebration. Everyone eats meat and drinks, and is happy.
That's good. For example, when I brought you to eat cake for the first time, there was a group of people. It's also a birthday celebration. But it also has another function, which is to socialize. People who don't know each other can gather together to talk, get to know each other, or reminisce about old times … Although some accidents happened later, it doesn't affect its own meaning.
Between people, there's not only business, but also a lot of other things. For example, when we eat at home, the main purpose is to fill our stomachs. Secondly, we can feel the stability and warmth of life. Simply put, it's a sense of satisfaction.
Meals are different. If it's just to fill our stomachs, we can just order takeout every day. "
After eating, Xu Qing's hands didn't stop. He continued to grill the meat. He liked Jiang He, so naturally, he liked talking to Jiang He.
This kind of liking was different from liking her body. He really wanted her to be well, and hoped that she could enjoy all kinds of beauty in this era. Although there were many bad things, it didn't matter.
"Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation. No matter what you eat, after your basic needs are met, you can make it better. For example, in the past, you wore shoes because you would be hit by stones if you were barefoot. You wore thick clothes because you were cold. But now, it's different. After you wear warm clothes, you can consider whether it looks good or not … You look good in this dress. I chose it for a long time.
Similarly, we can also be very happy when we eat. We can enjoy the happiness brought by delicious food. The taste of oil and seasoning exploding in our mouth, and the person by our side. These are all spiritual pleasures. That's why I chose you and me to slowly grill here and slowly experience the taste. "
Jiang He quietly ate the meat he grilled. When she heard this, she couldn't help but slow down her chewing to carefully experience the enjoyment he was talking about.
"Do you feel it?" Xu Qing asked. At the same time, he put the grilled meat into her bowl.
Fortunately, he only came out once in a while. Otherwise, if he did this every day, she would definitely become a little fat girl.
"This is the meaning of those chefs researching new dishes and creating new delicacies. After we have enough to eat and wear, what we need to do is to enjoy life. We have our own enjoyment. The poor also have cola burgers to enjoy, and the rich have their lobsters and abalones to enjoy. They suffer so much just for the occasional sweetness. Without this sweetness, many people might not be able to survive.
Even if it was just adding a braised egg while eating noodles in a noodle shop, it was still a form of enjoyment for some people. It was a form of spiritual satisfaction, and there was no difference in quality.
After a tiring day of work, I put down my bag and take off my coat when I get home, and someone brings out a bowl of steaming hot noodles from the kitchen. That's very satisfying. "
"Why do you know so much?" Jiang He was confused, but he was also a little surprised.
"Because my income is less than ten thousand." Xu Qing smiled. "Those who make a lot of money think about how to make money every day. A useless person like me can only be idle and tease my girlfriend.
But then again, every class has its own pursuit. The satisfaction I get from eating with you is no less than the rich who go out to eat, drink, and have fun … It can be said to be self-comfort, but everyone thinks differently. I think it's very good. "
Jiang He thought for a moment but couldn't understand what a useless person meant. She looked at Xu Qing and said, "I think it's very good too."
"Is it good to have someone grill meat for you?"
"No, it's …" Jiang He was speechless. She didn't know what was good about it.
But it was very good.
"The secret to happiness is to calmly accept everything that you can't change."
"For example?"
"There's nothing like … Well, for example, I can't have a stable job and five insurances and one housing fund at the same time. I can only choose one of the two. This is what I can't change."
"What are five insurances and one housing fund?"
"It's all kinds of protection. For example, if you can earn five thousand a month, take out five hundred of the five thousand and give it to someone else, such as me. Then, when you get old or sick, I will double the amount to you."
Jiang He's eyes widened. "That's good? … No, what if I don't live to old? "
"If you don't live to old, then the money will belong to someone else. Otherwise, where does the double money come from? You can work hard to grow up. If you can live to two hundred years old, you will have made a lot of money. "
Xu Qing joked. He looked at the plate and saw there was no meat left. There was only a little left in the pot. He asked, "Are you full? I'll go get some more. "
Jiang He touched her belly and looked at the place where the food was placed in the distance. She felt a little regretful. "A little full."
"You've eaten enough."
The waiter had cleared the table once, and now there was a pile of empty plates. It was because the meat was cut too thin and there was too little on the plate.
"I still want to eat that cake." Jiang He asked tentatively.
"I'll go get it for you."
"Eh …"
Jiang He reached out her hand and put it down again. She just wanted to ask if she could eat another piece. She had no intention of helping him get it.
She looked at Xu Qing's back and then looked down at the pork chop in the bowl. She felt a little complicated.
Was this the satisfaction Xu Qing mentioned?
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Qing came back quickly and handed over two pieces of cake.
"It's really beautiful."
"Oh?" Xu Qing looked at the cake in his hand. "It's really beautiful. Sometimes I also want to be a woman and have a lot of bootlickers. It's exciting just thinking about it."
"Only women can have bootlickers?"
"There are men, too, but they are very rare. They need to be as handsome as me and as rich as a dog to have one …"
On the topic of bootlickers, the two of them started a serious discussion. It was not until the two pieces of cake were finished that Xu Qing waved for the waiter to come over.
"There are gifts for the CDs, right?"
"Yes …" The waiter stuttered. The waiter stuttered for a moment. He had just been guessing with another waiter at the counter how many tables would get the event gift, and the one with the least chance of getting the event gift was the cleanest.
The two of them didn't even burp.
"This activity is not bad. The response is economical." Xu Qing took Jiang He's hand and led her to the bar counter. He looked up at the gifts on the shelf.
"Which one do you prefer?"
"That bear looks like White Gourd."
"White Gourd is a cat," Xu Qing explained to the waiter. "We want that, thank you."
The teddy bear, which looked like White Gourd, was taken down by the waiter and handed to the two of them. Xu Qing saw a trace of envy in his eyes.
He had a girlfriend, a cat, and they were going out on a date …
Xu Qing sighed. He was envious of his current life. It was a pity that his girlfriend was still fake.
Moreover, she still had many things to learn before she could be enlightened.
"What's the use of this?" Jiang He took the teddy bear and walked out. She looked left and right but didn't know what it was used for.
This doll was only a little bigger than her heating pad. It was the kind that was commonly seen in claw machines.
"It's useless. It's just a small toy … It's probably equivalent to your jade pendant. It's just for looking at."
"The jade pendant can be sold for money."
"… Then it's equivalent to a worthless jade pendant. You can hug it when you sleep at night, or you can think of it as me." Xu Qing casually said, "It looks quite cute, doesn't it? … You're going to crush it. "
"It's not bad to think of it as you."
Jiang He understood its use and liked it very much.
