Chapter 191: Love is a luxury, and it is better to lack than to excess

A night of lingering sorrow.

After Miaohan and I slept until we woke up naturally, we drove to the Beijing Financial Street Shopping Center.

Financial Street Shopping Center is located at No. 18 Financial Street, Xicheng District. It's designed from the outside to the inside. Outside the building, the faΓ§ade is designed with the theme of "returning to nature", and the color of the curtain wall changes with the four seasons; Inside the building, a transparent dome that is unique in China is used to directly bring natural light into the interior of the building.

"Just opened," Miao Han smiled, "it's all new!" ”

"The first international shopping mall in Beijing!" I said with a smile.

"You're really willing to bring me to this kind of place to spend," Miao Han said in a delicate voice, "You just wait to break the bank!" ”

"In my eyes," I said seriously, "love is the same as shopping. ”

"Here's an example!" Miao Han laughed.

"There's a poem," I said, pretendingly, "that says: 'You stand on the bridge and look at the view, and the people watching the view look at you from upstairs.'" The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. Excuse me, who is the 'you' in this poem? ”

"She's a big beauty, isn't it?" Miao Han guessed.

"It's a beauty, there's nothing wrong with that," I said seriously, "This 'you' is Zhang Chonghe, who is known as 'the last talented woman in the Republic of China'." The person who wrote this poem is the modernist poet Bian Zhilin, who pursued the goddess Zhang Chonghe for more than ten years, but in the end he still did not succeed, so he had to marry at the age of 45. Zhang Chonghe's attitude towards feelings is to rather lack than excess. She is both talented and beautiful, and has many suitors, even the famous poet Bian Zhilin has been in love with her for more than ten years, and she has never been moved. Zhang Chonghe has always been single, always persistently waiting for the true son of his life to appear, until he met the true love of his life at the age of 35 and entered into marriage. ”

"Don't worry," Miao Han smiled, "I would rather treat love than indiscriminately!" ”

"Yes," I said earnestly, "you must know how to love yourself first of all." In a bustling city where materialism is rampant, instead of spending time and money to consume fast-food love that is not nutritious or healthy, it is better to spend some time and energy to manage yourself, and then meet an unforgettable true love. In love, being responsible for oneself is also responsible for others; Only by cherishing oneself can we cherish others. Rather than abundant, it is not only a rare virtue for a wise person, but also a good cultivation for a wise and rational person. Only by enduring loneliness can we keep prosperity; Only by knowing how to prefer lack to abundance can we meet true love. If you don't choose food when you're hungry, you don't choose clothes when you're cold, you don't choose a way to panic, and you don't choose a wife when you're poor, the results are often pitiful! ”

"Tell me these things again in the evening!" Miao Han smiled and said, "When I fall asleep at night, you can talk as much as you want, I sleep with mine, you talk about yours, just don't wake me up!" ”

"Okay," I said in all seriousness, "let's get started!" As long as it's what you like, let's buy, buy, buy! ”

"I love to hear that," Miao Han said as she walked, "and it's a great place to live!" ”

"Well designed," I thought as I looked around, "and this dome above is transparent, so it feels natural and bright!" ”

"It's also very spacious," Miao Han said with emotion, "It's very comfortable for people to walk in it!" ”

"Yes," I said seriously, "with a super high ceiling and a unique transparent corridor design, you will naturally feel relaxed and pleasant to walk in!" ”

Miao Han smiled coquettishly.

I smiled.

We began to wander around under the long transparent dome of the financial mall.

Little by little, time is passing.

In my hands, there were soon a lot of big bags and small bags.

In the afternoon, Miao Han and I went to the Fujiangfang Food City on the basement floor. It is a Singaporean F&B company that celebrates the cuisine of Southeast Asia, Korean cuisine and Chinese snacks with a natural design theme.

Miao Han's appetite seemed to be good, and she bought a lot of snacks that she probably couldn't even call herself.

"You're careful to eat fat!" I laughed and persuaded Miaohan.

"If you eat fat," Miao Han smiled, "then I'll rely on you!" By the way, don't you want to eat it? ”

"I don't want to eat now," I said seriously, "and as soon as I eat, I want to drink." But I have to drive, and I can't drink alcohol, so you can eat it for me, and I'll eat it when I go back! ”

"Then you're welcome!" Miao Han smiled and began to eat in large chunks.

"You eat yours," I said with a smile, "I'll tell you about the legendary 10 best love delicacies in the world!" ”

"In addition to the 'top 10', you are '8 characters'," Miao Han said with a smile, "Even your girlfriend Ye Qian is full of 8 words, and Chu Fangfang is too, it is estimated that she was infected by you!" ”

"Tell you!" I said to Miaohan seriously, "The series of books I made for the Machinery Industry Publishing House is to use the '10 big' content plus the '8 words' title, each article is a '10 big', and each subtitle is '8 words'!" ”

"I'm not interested in car articles," Miao Han said as she ate, "Why don't you tell me about the top 10 delicacies that taste like love!" ”

"Okay," I said, pretendingly, "the first love delicacy is the wife's cake!" Of course, there is no wife in this wife's cake, just like there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork! ”

"That's a lot of nonsense, tell a story!" Miao Han smiled, "From now on, I will also give you '8 characters' to jump out!" ”

"Yes," I said, smiling, "once upon a time, there was a loving couple who were poor in their family, and because their father was seriously ill and the family had no money for medical treatment, the daughter-in-law had to sell herself to the landlord's house. After the husband had no wife, he had more free time, so he developed a cake with a good taste, and finally redeemed his wife by selling cakes to make money, and lived a happy life again. After this delicacy spread, people called it wife cake. ”

"In the wife's cake, there is no wife," Miao Han smiled, "This kind of love is a lifetime." ”

"The second love delicacy is Irish coffee," I said in all seriousness, "a bartender falls in love with a flight attendant who wants her to have a cocktail he makes for her, but the flight attendant loves coffee alone." So, the bartender combined Irish whiskey and coffee to make a new drink called Irish coffee. When the bartender made coffee for the first time for the flight attendant, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and tears fell into the coffee 'tick, tick'. Years later, the stewardess suddenly wanted to drink Irish coffee, and she searched all the cafes but didn't find it, and she realized that it was made for her by the bartender. ”

"Your coffee, do you have tears," Miao Han smiled slightly, "This kind of love is a little depressing." ”

"The third favorite delicacy is tiramisu," I said seriously, "during World War II, an Italian soldier was about to go on a campaign, but there was no decent food at home for him to use as dry food. His wife had an idea, so she made all the biscuits and bread in the house into a pastry, and that pastry was tiramisu. In Italy, 'tiramisu' means 'take me away'. After that, whenever this soldier ate tiramisu on the battlefield, he couldn't help but think of home and his lover! ”

"Take me away, or stay," Miao Han said with a smile, "This kind of love is worth cherishing." ”

"The fourth love delicacy is macarons: it is said that in the middle of the 16th century, the Florentine nobleman Catherine Medici became homesick when she married King Henry II of France. The king was distressed and tried to do so. One day, on a whim, the king asked the pastry chef to make colorful macarons to win the hearts of Catherine Medici. No one could have predicted that this wonderful dessert would not only win the hearts of Catherine Medici, but also become the only choice for afternoon tea for the Parisian elite for a hundred years. ”

"Give it your all, and make you smile. Romantic love, everyone yearns for. ”

"The fifth love delicacy is plum cabbage and pork: one day a long time ago, a flash flood broke the bridge. When Ah Niu came back from collecting firewood, he saw that a girl could not cross the river, so he brought a buffalo to send her across the river. Later, the two fell in love with each other. However, the girl is always recalled as a fairy in the sky, and when she leaves, she gives Ah Niu a bag of vegetable seeds and teaches him how to cook dried vegetables. The girl's name is Amei, and the dried vegetables are called 'plum vegetables', and the plum vegetables are known as 'Tianxian matching'. ”

"Love is just right. The heat was not ready, and the white button was buckled. ”

"The sixth love delicacy is the Margarita Biscuit: the full name of the Margarita Biscuit is 'Miss Margaret who lives in Stresa, Italy'. It is said that a long time ago, when a pastry chef was making cookies, he was always thinking about his lover, and before he knew it, he pressed his own handprint on each cookie. After baking the biscuits, there are beautiful cracks, so people call such beautiful margarita biscuits 'love marks'. ”

"Love is in the heart, and the smile is always open. Pretty rips, marks of love. ”

"The seventh love delicacy is matcha mousse cake: legend has it that a poor young man fell in love with the daughter of the owner of Moorish Manor, but did not know what to use to express his love for the girl. He pondered and decided to leave some of the matcha leaves he picked every day to make matcha cakes and send them to the girl. Finally, the girl's heart was opened, and she eloped with the young man. Later, the owner of the farm, who loved his daughter, accepted them, and the young man's cake skills were passed down in the manor, and the cake that touched the girl became the symbol of the manor, known as 'matcha mousse'. ”

"Love Manor, harvest pure love. If you really don't have a way, then elope. ”

"The eighth love delicacy is the puffs: on a large farm in northern France, the farmer's daughter falls in love with a young man who grazes the herd for her master. However, their love was soon discovered by the girl's father. In the end, the farmer had to put 'milk in the eggs', otherwise the lads would be sent far south. The young man was very clever and made a snack with the girl, which won the approval of the farmer, and this snack was called a puff. ”

"Affectionate love, deep in the heart. If you don't hide it, you have to get out. ”

"The ninth love delicacy is brownie: it is said that when an old black woman was making chocolate cake, she thought about her children who were far away, so she forgot to whip the cream first. Unexpectedly, the cake produced by this was unexpectedly moist and dense, so this cute mistake made Brownie the most representative cake of American families now. ”

"Forget the cream, and you will be wrong. Selfless love belongs to you alone. ”

"The tenth love delicacy is the rice noodles across the bridge: legend has it that there is a talent who often goes to the Lake Center Pavilion to study. Every time his wife brought food, Xiucai always forgot to sleep and eat, so that the food was cold and cold, and his body was about to collapse. His wife was anxious and distressed, and when she got home, she cooked rice noodles in a casserole with chicken soup and sent them to Xiucai. Xiucai still forgot to eat, and when he remembered to eat, he picked up the casserole and found that it was still hot, not only keeping warm but also more delicious. Later, people called this way of eating cross-bridge rice noodles. ”

"Another name for love is warmth. Whether it's too much or not, love has the final say. ”

"Oops! Damn! I exclaimed and said to Miao Han, "You use the '8 characters' very well!" ”

"Break a piece of bread in half," Miao Han said with a smile, "anyone can break it!" Pinch a chopstick in two, and anyone will pout! Code a sentence into 8 words, anyone can code! ”

"Oh my God!" I exclaimed, and at the same time said to Miao Han mysteriously, "You must not tell anyone this great secret!" Otherwise, my series of books for non-owners may be out of order! ”

"I only understand your girlfriend now," Miao Han said with a serious face, "I understand why she wants to buy you a pair of chews to wear when she is playing at Bada Place!" ”

"Don't say it again," I smiled, "and I'm tired!" ”

Miao Han smiled coquettishly and continued to feast on large pieces.

I wanted to say more.
