How can you eat like this in the middle of the night as an adult?

"what did you eat yesterday?"

-Blessed are those who can answer!

can answer the menu of last night's dinner like nothing else, and even the seasoning of each dish can be clearly explained, not because Shilang has an excellent memory. but every day dinner is done by him himself.

(stop dreaming, such a man is not something we can have! )

this excellent man is from the recent late-night Japanese drama " yesterday's Food ".

is adapted from a cartoon of the same name, and the main content is a pair of comrade uncles who are about 45 years old living together every day.

Japanese recipes are included in the play with detailed steps and exquisite dishes. Put in the late night stalls, it is actually food rations, dog food, stomach abuse and dog abuse.

the people in the play do not have fresh meat, both sides are middle-aged men, and the plot is not sweet sadistic love, but the warm and realistic daily life of .

issues such as saving for old age, whether to come out, keep fit, live together, and parents' illness will be discussed in the show.

Shi Lang, 45, is a lawyer by profession.

A wife with a cold face, the original cartoon describes him as pomelo-fragrant cabbage.

although I have moved in with my boyfriend and come out with my family, I still don't want outsiders to know that I am gay.

economically, it is planned that the monthly expenditure on food should not exceed 25000 yen (about RMB1500 yuan). After all, I can't have children, so I have to rely on money to provide for the aged. Cuisine Grade max.

Xianji, 43, is a hairdresser by profession.

Sunshine Big loyal Dog, Yu-Shiang Eggplant （Sautéed with Spicy Garlic Sauce） is used to describe him in the original cartoon.

I have a big personality and a super good temper. I love life. I don't think I have anything to hide about my gay identity. I will show my love to my guests at work.

in short, this is a very likeable role. foodie level max.

because it is a cartoon adaptation, don't worry too much about the image of the two leading men. After all, the person is supposed to be a 40 + middle-aged uncle. And in terms of the degree of reduction. It's pretty good.

who doesn't want to come home from work and have a delicious meal waiting for them?

for Shi Lang, although he is a lawyer, he is more willing to work on some simple cases. receives the basic salary of .

but I can come home from work at six o'clock every day, cook a hearty meal, and have dinner with my loved ones.

this sense of achievement is the same as winning a difficult case as a lawyer.

for the daily meal, Shi Lang will count the calories, match the dishes and nutrition, and then wait for Hyun-er to come back for dinner.

Xianer often goes offline and spends money indiscriminately, but often has a good attitude of admitting mistakes . I was wrong. Don't you dare next time.

Shi Lang will criticize education, but in the end, will often choose to forgive him.

maybe this is the emotional life when people reach middle age. Passion at work recedes, money is just a tool to prepare for old age, and emotional enthusiasm is no longer. After all, it depends on counting the calories consumed every day to maintain your figure.

the only thing that can sustain our feelings is the trivial routine of our lives. And little surprises that pop out from time to time.

(envy the thick fireworks)

of course, no couple can live a sweet life all the time.

as mentioned earlier, Shi Lang is reluctant to reveal his sexual orientation, even though his mother and Hyun-ji are encouraging him to come out to the people around him. But in his heart, he doesn't think that there is an inevitable connection between work and sexual orientation.

the problem has been dragging on like this. But Hyun-ji showed off his boyfriend everywhere like a peacock, causing Shi Lang's secret to be finally broken.

Shi Lang thought Hyun-er didn't abide by the agreement between them and lost his temper. But in this tone, counselor, are you angry that he said you were gay or that he said you were suffering?

however, Hyun-er always feels that his lover and life should be shared with the people around him, and the store owner can share his wife and children, but why he can't even talk about the people he lives with.

launch must kill, give way to Baba. What happened to the attack? Attack must also be able to act cute and pretend to be aggrieved, otherwise there will be no dinner tonight.

I can't help it. Shi Lang just likes it.

although angry, but no longer insist, just say eat. When people reach middle age, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a delicious meal. If so, only two meals.

not to mention Shi Lang's cooking skills are really not covered. In addition, Kenji himself is a foodie attribute max guy. He can't hold on to himself when he cooks a little of his favorite dishes. It's really not my strange choice of words, Hyun-ji, your performance is too grandiose. )

Why is it called yesterday's delicacy?

there is an interesting answer on Douban. Food represents time, and yesterday's delicacies represent the passage of time, nostalgia for the lost years.

but I think it's not accurate enough after reading the original cartoon.

maybe we don't spend a lot of energy on dinner every day, but on some special days, we also choose to eat some "delicious food".

yesterday's Food is showing us the story behind these "delicious food".

in the play, each dish actually has a special meaning.

similar to our zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival, tempura to eat in Japan for Chinese New year, and soba noodles to cook on New year's Day.

these foods are given special meaning and mission by society.

and between couples, families will also have common favorite food, these foods will have individual unique emotional sustenance. A piece of food can often connect a story and a relationship.

the interesting plot of the spoiler here:

Shi Lang is called grapefruit cabbage because of his personality, and is stubborn but delicate.

while Xian er is called Yu-Shiang Eggplant （Sautéed with Spicy Garlic Sauce）, there is a story. Partly because he likes eating eggplant, and partly because he used to work in a cowherd shop.

went to the top cowherd's house for a drink with his companion. After being hinted by the cowherd, his companion ran away in a panic, but he was not ashamed to eat and drink at the cowherd's house and dated for three months. It's really crazy.

and the story begins because the runaway companion felt guilty about Hyun-ji, thinking that he was himself, but running away indirectly made him gay. so when you see eggplant, you will think of Xianji. When you think of Xianji, you will feel guilty. If you feel guilty, you can't eat eggplant.

until I met Hyun-ji again and knew that he was doing well, he began to taste the delicious eggplant.

go back to the Haagen-Dazs they ate last, which also represents Hyun Erzhi's love of life.

Shi Lang complains that it is easy for Xian er to spend money indiscriminately, but Hyun-ji believes that there will always be gaps in life, and that wonderful things flow out of these gaps, which is interesting. (Shi Lang: real fragrance)

yesterday's delicious food is not only a summary of previous feelings, but also a reminder to cherish the people in front of you. Maybe we won't realize how valuable it is for a partner who is willing to cook for you and take care of your taste until we reach middle age, both of the same sex and the opposite sex.

after all, who needs a meal now? What I need is the person who eats with me!
