Grass-filled life and food

This time, dining at Caoxingju Baihui Shushi was not only a taste enjoyment for me, but also an experience and awareness of life. The richness and simplicity of food Baihui Shushi at Caoxingju offers a variety of vegetarian dishes in the form of a buffet. Each dish showcases the original flavor of the ingredients, without being overly seasoned, yet making people feel the bounty of nature. From all kinds of fresh vegetables and grains to handmade tofu and fermented foods, every bite carries the warmth of the land. Such simplicity and purity made me deeply realize the truth that "less is more". Healthy and diverse choices As a buffet, Caoxingju Baihui Shushi provides a wide range of choices to meet different dietary needs. The dishes are health-oriented, with less oil and salt, and emphasize the combination of natural ingredients. Whether it is warm soup, refreshing lettuce salad, or a variety of beans, grains and fermented foods, people can freely choose food that suits their bodies and eat nutritionally balanced food without burden. Slow Food and Mindfulness When eating, I deliberately slow down, chew each bite carefully, and feel the texture and changes of the food. This practice allows me to focus more on the present moment rather than just eating mechanically. When you put down your phone, stop chatting, and really get along with the food, you will find that the simplest taste can also bring the deepest satisfaction. The challenges of co-living and socializing In shared living, eating together is an unavoidable interaction. In the past, I often felt uncomfortable with social pressure, worrying about whether I should find a topic to talk about or whether my silence would seem strange. However, this time, I tried to accept my own situation, not forcing it to be lively, nor avoiding it deliberately, but just focusing on the food and atmosphere at the moment. It turns out that timely silence is also a form of communication, and a quiet meal can make both parties more relaxed. Physical and mental feelings This dining experience not only filled my stomach, but also allowed me to further appreciate the connection between food and the body and mind. A light and natural diet makes the body feel light, and focusing on the present moment of eating can also calm the mind. Perhaps this is the intersection of diet and Zen meditation - returning to a simple self through simple food. The experience of eating simple food at Caoxingju Baihui is not just about enjoying delicious food, but also a practice of life. It reminds me that simple meals can be hearty, mindful dining can be healing, and comfortable coexistence can be beautiful without the need for words. In such an experience, eating is not just eating, but a dialogue with oneself and the world.
