When eating hot pot, there are two typical people: one is the person who keeps asking if the food is ready. One is a person who keeps serving cooked food to others.

I think the first type of person must be the one who is pampered, and luckily, I am the first type. I think I am the one who is loved.

We Chinese people attach great importance to food, from eight major cuisines to local snacks, from home-cooked meals to Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets. Whether it's a simple meal or a rare meal, we all want to put our love for the people around us into the food.

I have many foodie friends, and most of them love the same food as me. I have friends who eat crab pot with me, friends who eat hot pot with me, and friends who eat Sichuan food with me.

I think the most direct way to express love, whether it is a lover or family and friends, is to want to have many, many meals with the other person.

You are a very lovely person. You really deserve to meet the best person, and I really hope that I am. ——Wang Xiaobo "Loving you is like loving life"

"You are a person who loves to eat. You really should meet someone who can eat all the delicious food with you. I am sure that I am that person." This is what Dajiang said to Tons of words when confessing. Don't ask me how I know, because a certain girl told me this sentence at least 100 times to show her affection, and she proudly set it as her personal signature.

My friend Tengtang and her boyfriend Dajiang are both very cute people and the most compatible with each other.

The Tonton I know is the legendary fat girl with a sunny personality who loves to eat and laugh. Before she met Dajiang, almost all her thoughts were spent on looking for delicious food. After meeting Dajiang, she focused on looking for delicious food together.

Tonton and Dajiang also met because of food. They were both freshmen that year, and the military training ended at noon. By coincidence, they were waiting at the same stall to buy food. After Tonton ordered his lunch, he stood aside and waited.

“Boss, let’s have a braised eggplant rice bowl”

“Classmate, I suggest you not to eat the braised eggplant. The most delicious thing in his family is the braised potato. Don’t eat the eggplant. ! ! ”

“Oh... then, boss, I’ll change it to braised potatoes”

When he saw the lost Dajiang ordering unpalatable food, Tantant couldn’t help it. My foodie mentality is about to get out of control.

I heard from Tengtun that day that there were very few empty seats in the canteen, and in the end they had to have a meal face to face. And it was this meal that made them food friends. The many meals that followed contributed to their love.

Tonton said that she had never met a boy who was as in tune with her as a big river. They all love spicy food, it’s super spicy, so spicy that it makes tears and runny noses flow. None of them like cilantro, but they have a slight preference for garlic.

Ojiang said that he had never met a girl who was so comfortable getting along with him. Don’t be picky about food. Those who don’t like to eat eat less, and those who like to eat will eat more happily. She likes spicy food as much as she does, and every time her mouth turns red when it's spicy, she tells him with a smile: Chili's lipstick is so beautiful.

Tonton and Dajiang have eaten a lot of delicious food together. They can walk for hours to go to a delicious shop, or they can queue for a long time for delicious braised food.

Liao Yimei said: In our life, it is not rare to meet love or sex, but it is rare to meet understanding.

And because Tonton and Dajiang understand each other, eating and drinking with each other has become the most romantic thing in the world.

Ojiang said that he wanted to accompany Tantun to eat all her favorite foods.

I think maybe love means wanting to have many, many meals with the other person.

I always feel that if you want to understand a person, you should first have a meal with him.

People who only care about themselves at the dinner table and put all their favorite dishes in front of themselves must be selfish people in life.

As for people who always care about other people's tastes at the dinner table, I think they must be kind people who think about others in daily life.

Because I was born as a Hui, I don’t eat pork. For so many years, every time I dine with my friends, they are also concerned about my taste and try to avoid foods that I can't eat.

At first I felt really embarrassed because I felt like I was in trouble and I always had to be accommodated by others. Until one day a good friend of mine told me: Everyone invites you out for dinner because of who you are, and the food is secondary. It doesn’t matter what you eat, what matters is who you eat with. How can someone who loves you find you troublesome?

Yes, it doesn’t matter what you eat, what matters is who you eat with. Eating together with the people you like is a happy thing in itself.

Maybe there are thousands of expressions of love, but I think if I love you, then I will want to eat many, many meals with you, so many that we can’t count them in our lifetime.

From sandwiches in the morning to stir-fries in the evening. From sugar water in summer to hot pot in winter. From handmade dumplings to exquisite Western food.

And I love you, both the heat of Chongqing hot pot and the sweetness of cream cake.

I want to tell you: I love you and I want to eat with you.

I hope you can all meet someone to eat with. I am Daidai, thank you for being so beautiful and reading my article.
