100% Lucky Rice, Rich Happiness ㊥【百年好禾】

  小時候,常聽到大人相遇時,打招呼的第一句話就是:呷罷嘜 這透露著人情味的溫暖,也是藉此開啟聊天對話的一種方式。我們每天三餐都需要靠吃來維持活動力,所謂「吃飯皇帝大」,要專心吃飯,不要邊看電視邊講話還邊吃飯,吃飯,就是要細細品嚐每一粒米的美味,還有它帶給我們的飽足。時至今日,雖然全球化的影響,改變飲食習慣,但仍有一群死忠的粉絲,每一餐都要有米飯的支持,才能讓胃得到滿足,還有飽足。
  記得小時候,很喜歡幫媽媽倒米,那種一顆顆白色飽滿的米粒從袋口傾瀉到米缸中的聲音,還有看到米缸漸漸被填滿的樣子,不知道為什麼讓我聯想到在公園沙坑玩沙的滿足感,有時候還會把手放在裡面攪來攪去,沙沙癢癢的感覺,就覺得很舒服,然後隨之而來的就是媽媽的一聲罵~雖然如此,但總是樂此不疲。
  台灣的濁水溪畔,可以說是把我們養大的搖籃,所有的米食文化,也都因為有這塊肥沃的平原,而更加精采。過去的工作,曾經出差一個禮拜,到中部濁水溪流域的稻田,採訪、紀錄、拍照……,現場的農民個個總是認真的介紹各種米的不同,雖然在我看來都是一樣,但他們眼裡那份得意與驕傲,還有佈滿粗糙厚繭的手與整片金黃結穗的稻田,讓我覺得我跟這片從小長大的土地好親近!
  從小到大,從媽媽的便當到外食的自助餐,香噴噴的白米飯豐富了我們的生活,也豐富了我們的記憶,不管它是以甚麼形式出現-可能是搭配家常菜的乾飯;可能是生病時媽媽熬的稀飯;可能是爸爸不太拿手的炒飯。即使偶而會吃吃漢堡、牛排或義大利麵,但到最後,還是會我們總是會回到米飯的懷抱,享受晶瑩彈牙的幸福感。

In Taiwan, rice is our staple food, it keeps with us, from child to adults. Although there are many kind’s of food in our life, somebody just like rice only.

When I was in the advertising agency,I ofen had business trips to country. There, I saw farmers walked on the road without shouse just walked in the yard. I like that scenes, because it make me feel more nature. Sometimes they told us this area is one one kind of rice and that area is another. We can’t tell where is different, but I saw passion in their eyes, I just been influenced! Everytime I had had business trips there, I am so happy even if it was work.

Now, we although sometimes eat hamburger, steak or spaghetti, finally, we still like rice the most! Because there are lots of memories about every meal with rice.
