Simple life
The life of January is not panicked and follows the steps, working on weekdays, going to the courtyard to rest on weekends, day after day, week after week, and a month has passed like this.
In January, he marinated bacon, filled sausages, and made tofu.
I used to do these things every year, but this year I did them with great enthusiasm and an open-minded attitude.
Sure enough, if you take one thing seriously, the final result will be different. Bacon, sausages, and tofu were all made successfully.
In addition to making bacon, sausages, and tofu, I also made various meatballs, such as lotus root balls, bean dregs balls, water chestnut balls, shepherd's cabbage balls, and radish balls.
Two days ago, a friend left me a message, hoping to introduce the recipe of radish balls.
It's the first time I've made radish balls, and I didn't expect it to be quite successful.
A friend sent me a private message, asking me how to do radish balls, to be honest, do these completely by feeling to do, there is no definite ratio table, simply talk about the practice of radish balls:
1. Rub carrots and white radishes, don't rub them too finely, and have a grainy feeling.
2. Pour some cooking oil into the shredded radish and stir well to let the cooking oil lock in the moisture of the radish.
3. Clean the pork and beat it into a meat puree with a meat grinder, which can be broken a little, so that the pork puree is sticky.
4. Mix shredded radish and pork puree, add salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine, pepper, minced green onion and ginger, beat two eggs, and stir vigorously in one direction until the shredded radish and pork puree are completely integrated and strong, and you need to stir for a while.
5. Heat the rapeseed oil in the pot, and fry the kneaded radish balls in the hot oil until golden brown.
Isn't it simple?
Throughout January, two pieces of tofu will be made every weekend to ensure that you can eat your own tofu within a week.
Making tofu by myself takes time and effort, but I enjoy the process and the satisfaction of eating, which is the motivation for making tofu!
Now, you can buy anything you want for money, and how many people are willing to sit down and do these seemingly useless jobs?
Now my life is to follow my own heart, what I want, what I pursue, what makes me feel happy and satisfied, I try my best to find these nutrients and energy for myself, and I will work hard to do it, not to leave regrets to myself, and the whole person is full and happy in the process of doing it.
It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, and I'm happy.
When I live calmly, calmly, and confidently, I will also be surrounded by a friendly and gentle atmosphere.
Break away
In January, I bought 4 bags of clothes in Xianyu Old Clothes**, got 1700 points, and paid 001 yuan was exchanged for 13 yuan worth of Vinda handkerchief paper 1 piece of 30 packs.
The night before yesterday, I cleaned up the kitchen and found 26 unused or useless kitchen items and threw them in the trash.
In mid-January, I packed up 75 copies of Children's Literature from the shelves and gave them to my colleague to read to his son, who loves to read.
In January, the break did well.
Breaking away is a long-term project, let me take my time, it may be a round of elimination, and finally leave the necessary items, both space and soul cleaning.
Write freely
In January, there were 30 original updates, only on January 9, which was not written.
It's not difficult for me to do it every day, as long as I want to do it, I can definitely do it.
Time after day, life is different, and if you observe and feel it with your heart, you can always leave some beautiful moments.
Argentine writer Jorge Borges said:I don't write for fame, I don't write for a specific audience, I write for the peace of mind that time passes.
For people like us who record life, we insist on writing so that the passage of time can give us peace of mind and make life traceable.
Then enjoy this freelance writing process!
Reading harvest
After reading "The Rich and What You Think Are Different", I wrote three reading notes "[24@005] Rich people think differently (1), [24@005] Rich people think differently (2), [24@005] Rich people think differently than you think (3)", so it is a book of financial quotients, and it is better to say that it is a philosophy of life.
What impressed me the most in the book was the following passage:
Whatever you sow, you will bear fruit.
What is it that really creates these fruits? It's the seed and the root.
The things on the earth are created by the things that are under the earth; What we can see, comes from what we can't see.
If you want to change the fruit, you first have to change its roots; If you want to change what is visible, you must first change what is not visible.
This passage reminds me of the fact that I grow vegetables and fruits in my small yard, and every year my husband has to apply enough fertilizer to the bottom of the plant, and then the vegetables and fruits that grow are tender and delicious, so the things on the ground are created by the things on the ground.
The same is true for the cause and the effect of the plant, and the same is true for educating children.
The writer Haruki Murakami once said a passage in "Kafka by the Sea":A child is like a small sapling, and the home environment is the water for watering. If the water quality is too poor, eventually the sapling will not only not become a towering tree, but will also die.
When the child is young, it is a blank piece of paper, this blank paper is completely depicted by the parents, when you are a child, you accompany the child with your heart to cultivate the child in all aspects, and the child who grows up can be ** even if he does not become a talent.
Reading a book can bring a little gain, and the book is worth reading.
Rich people are different from what you think", people need to grow, only break through their comfort zone, bravely face uncomfortable feelings, maintain a humble heart, and continue to learn and explore, we will be able to achieve our goals and become a better version of ourselves.
AI picture books
AI has become ubiquitous, and learning AI is a compulsory course in the New Year.
In January, I used the AI painting function to make a picture book of the composition written by my daughter when she was a child, which was quite fun.
Reading the essays written by my daughter when she was a child, there were many touches, which made me see that I had done well and what I did badly, but fortunately, my daughter pointed out the problems in time, so that I could continue to correct myself on the road to becoming a mother.
Workout pauses
In January, outdoor sports were largely at a standstill.
The biggest excuse is that it's too cold.
Of course, if you want to keep exercising, you can overcome all difficulties.
Or I am not self-disciplined enough, I am not ruthless enough to myself, this is what needs to be improved.
Exercise is for your own physical health, not for others to see, or lazy psychology is at work.
Lazy disease, get cured!
Looking back on this month, there are gains, joys, and shortcomings.
Life is to alternate between contentment and inadequacy, and then reach the next intersection to enjoy the next scenery.
