There is a mixed forest and a small house in the suburb of Nagoya, Japan.
Tsuduan Sukeyoshi is an architect. After retirement, he parked his car on this rural land, built a hut himself and made Tsuduan for his wife.
Eiko opened up a vegetable garden and fulfilled his wife's pastoral dream.
Eiko's daily life is extremely simple. She takes care of the vegetable garden, prepares three meals a day, and picks up knitted socks in her spare time.
She planted corn, vegetables and all kinds of fruits in the garden, and baked some seeds looking south of the Yangtze River to make cassia seed tea. Big oranges are eaten directly, and small oranges are made into candied skin and sour jam; Grass poison in spring, cherry in early summer, raspberry in midsummer and grapefruit in autumn are all made into jam and dried fruit. .....
Every morning Eiko goes to the vegetable garden to pick fresh vegetables, comes back to juice, then cooks, washes dishes and then cooks.
When she first got married, she couldn't cook, just followed the food book.
But no matter what the taste of the food she cooked, she was praised for her good work.
Eiko is becoming more and more confident in cooking. According to her personal preference, she appropriately increased or decreased seasonings, and gradually developed many special dishes: baked lasagna, boiled vegetables with sea eel, stewed cuttlefish with vinegar, sushi rice .............................................................................................................................
After curing their illness, the doctor told them to put less salt in their diet. How to make a salt-free diet has become Eiko's daily research course.
She tried to cook the soup with all kinds of ingredients that can make the soup delicious, and replaced the salty taste with umami.
She often changes tablecloths and tableware to create a fresh dining atmosphere.
Taking care of the health of a break is the meaning of Eiko's life.
Eiko is never too lazy to cook, because she loves to eat, so she is very happy.
Every afternoon at 3 o'clock, it's their tea time, who burns a hot pot of hot water, soaks black tea in a broken flower teacup with bone China, and matches it with Eiko's homemade cake or pancake.
In the evening of summer, put a small charcoal stove on the porch to bake sweet and delicious corn. This is their dinner time.
No matter how busy she is, Eiko will never forget to decorate her room with wild flowers blooming at four o'clock, adding a little sense of ceremony to her life.
When she is free, Eiko will pick up a needle to knit socks.
I only knit for an hour at a time. I can't finish knitting today. Continue knitting tomorrow, and you can always finish it bit by bit.
She never asks "what can be done today must be done today", so she can relax, take her time and be calm.
Because of his love for navigation and navigation, Yixiu set up a "captain's room" at home to answer letters and sort out information every day.
Sometimes, he will help Eiko make a new handle for farm tools with branches and paint the handle of the spade yellow, so that you can see it at a glance when you throw it in the grass. At the age of 88, Zhaoyi realized his dream of sailing in Tahiti.
This is not easy for an old man, and the premise of realization is to have dreams and health.
I like Kenichi's life creed very much: "Whatever you do, be happy."
The most important thing. "
Indeed, both Eiko and Masaichi live happily.
Eiko's happiness comes from her hobbies of gardening, cooking and knitting. The happiness of a rest comes from his dream of sailing.
They love each other, fulfill each other and stick to their hobbies, so every day is Koharu's day.
In Japanese, it refers to warm and stable sunny days from late autumn to early winter.
The warm sun in early winter is not dazzling, but it seems to be the longest company day after day.
