“Cleaned vegetables, you should handle them like this: absorb the surface water with kitchen paper, then press cling film tightly, then poke small holes in it with a toothpick, and finally put it in the fresh-keeping area……”
This is a video released by a media outlet.
How should I put it, I feel that in the past two years, the media’s attention to eating, dressing, and life has become increasingly refined. They often release videos saying, “Don’t eat leftovers,” “Pay attention to this behavior,” “The elderly ate the xx taken out of the refrigerator and were sent to the emergency room, experts remind……”
Are the contents they are talking about reasonable? Well, there is actually a little basis.
So, do you think they are talking well?
No, I think it’s ridiculous.
Let’s talk about another video, also released by the media, I just saw it: Tears! Broken defense! 53-year-old migrant worker so-and-so went home for the New Year and spent 64.5 yuan to take a green-skinned train to save money. Lunch was a bag of sausages sent by a friend!
Emotionally, it’s in place, but the same problem remains: it’s not the first day they’ve come to this land, so why are you pretending to be naive, media?
What’s so tearful and defensive about taking a green-skinned train? Five or six years ago, I went out to play and took the green-skinned train at night. Anyone who has caught a train or high-speed rail at eleven or twelve o’clock in the morning knows very well what the scenery inside and outside the station is like, how many bedding and luggage, and even pots, bowls, and pans. Then, seeing this level of “broken defense” and “tears,” it is inevitable to feel “disbelief.”
If choosing a green-skinned train to save money makes you feel heartbroken and collapse, then the riders who sleep in the bridge hole from the scorching summer to the cold winter, in terms of degree, wouldn’t it make you explode on the spot. A few days ago, I saw a video on a certain platform, a tent in a bridge hole, and the rider’s supplies and electric car outside the tent. The photographer said it smelled a bit, and he didn’t dare to open it to see, how to sleep here, should I call the police? Someone in the comment section left a message, he saw him sleeping here in the summer, it is estimated that it was too cold in the winter, so he added a tent.
So, if the video you media makes is like this, I won’t say a word, and I will silently like and forward it. If there is a reward button, I will also give you five yuan to express my respect. Because this is really something that makes people cry and break down in reality. Compared to this, what’s the big deal about taking a green-skinned train to save money.
When they are obsessed with small tricks and emotional stories, they will naturally ignore the outline of reality.
Similarly, eating leftovers is not a big deal, and I often eat the leftovers from the previous night at home. Especially meat, just keep it well, don’t you have to throw it away if you can’t finish it every meal? Besides, we have the custom of eating salted chicken and salted duck during the New Year, and that thing is basically served every day within a week.
You say that overnight meat is not healthy, I know this, so what do you say?
That’s roughly it, what I want to say is a kind of performance-style life guide, a kind of false kindness, a false emotional economy, seemingly tearful, but actually a show. It seems to want to convey a kind of health common sense, but in fact it is showing “how refined we are.” Therefore, it is a suitable topic to absorb the water from the cleaned vegetables with paper, put them in a fresh-keeping bag, poke holes in them, and put them in the fresh-keeping area. This shows a very good side. But at eleven or twelve o’clock in the morning, someone braving the wind and snow to drill into the community to rummage through the trash cans to pick up cardboard boxes is not worth paying attention to.
It’s just that I think, if you are not willing to talk about the latter situation, at least don’t continue to sink, but keep talking about those so-called “refined.” I once saw a video where a mother took her child to pick up a lot of cardboard boxes, and the child also carried a lot, and he excitedly jumped forward in front of his mother… At that time, he was pure, and the current media lacks a little of this quality.
I won’t post the screenshots from the original video, I let AI generate an animated version based on the original picture. Otherwise, the few readers who have been lurking for a long time will not be able to bear it!
Confucius said, “Food should not be too refined, and meat should not be too thin,” the more refined the grain and meat, the better.
But if possible, in the new year, I only hope that everyone has grain and meat.
