Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1042 1053. Mangrove Island 1
Li Xiao got up early in the morning, stretched her waist, and started packing her luggage.He lived in the homestay for a few days and left a lot of memories and photos. Now it is time to leave.

He sorted out his clothes and belongings first, and then packed them into his backpack.Then he checked the room to make sure he hadn't missed anything, then closed the door.

After walking out of the homestay, Li Xiao started to walk towards the pier.He has walked this road many times, so it is very familiar to him.He walked through the bustling commercial district, through the crowded city center, and finally came to the pier near the sea.

There were already many people waiting for their boat at the pier, and Li Xiao was no exception.He found his ticket and waited in line to board.While waiting, he admired the sea view and felt the sea breeze, feeling very comfortable.

Finally, it was Li Xiao's turn to board the ship.He showed his ticket to the staff and walked to the boarding gate.After boarding the boat, he put his backpack on the luggage rack and found a seat to sit down.It's a small yacht, not very big, but very comfortable.The yacht quickly left the dock and began to move forward.

Li Xiao sat on the bow of the yacht, looking at the sea in the distance.He likes the sea, the sea breeze, and the waves.He felt like a bird, soaring freely in the vast sky.He thought that maybe one day, he could fly freely in the sky like these birds.

However, now is not the time.Li Xiao knew that he still had many things to do, many places to go, and many people to meet.He can't stop, he has to keep going.

Li Xiao stayed on the yacht for a while, admiring the sea view and feeling the sea breeze all the way until the yacht docked.He got off the ship, came to a new island, and started his new adventure.

Soon, the boat arrived at Mangrove Island.When Li Xiao got off the boat, he was greeted by a beautiful mangrove forest and small fishing boats on the sea.He felt like he was in a completely different world.

Li Xiao walked on the beach, feeling the sea breeze blowing, and the sound of waves lapping in his ears, which made him feel comfortable and relaxed.He took a deep breath of the sea breeze, felt the breath of nature, and felt that this was a valuable experience.

Li Xiao walked out of the mangrove forest, and saw an open field in front of him. He felt a fresh air and a quiet atmosphere, as if the whole world had become quiet.He took a deep breath, enjoying the quiet moment.

Various crops are grown in the fields, such as sorghum, corn, sugar beet and so on.The crops are grown vertically, in neat rows across the field.Under the sunlight, these crops exude the breath of life, as if announcing their existence to the world.

Li Xiao walked along the field path for a while, and saw a farmer plowing the land.He walked over, greeted the farmer, and asked what crop he was growing.The farmer replied enthusiastically: "This is sorghum, and it can be harvested next year."

Li Xiao asked the farmer, "Is this place close to the sea?"

The farmer nodded: "Yes, the seaside is not far away, and it can be reached by walking a short path."

Hearing this, Li Xiao walked towards the beach.After walking for a while, he saw a wide sandy beach.The fine white sand on the beach is washed as smooth as a mirror by the waves.On the sea in the distance, several small fishing boats are fishing, and seagulls are circling above, creating a peaceful seascape.

Li Xiao leaned on a big rock by the sea, relaxing and admiring the beautiful scenery.He felt that his mood became more and more calm, as if all the worries and troubles had been taken away by the waves.

After a while, he left the sea and started walking along the coastline to the other side of the island.Along the way, he saw some strange rocks and seaweed, and also saw some water birds looking for food by the sea.He stopped to take pictures from time to time to record these beautiful moments.

After walking for a while, Li Xiao came to a small fishing village.The village consists of several small wooden houses surrounded by a dense forest and a small port.On the other side of the port, he saw some fishermen busy.

In this field, there are many crops and fruit trees, which reminded him of his childhood life in the countryside.He saw a farmer harvesting crops and went over to chat with him.

The farmer told him that the mangroves here are a very precious ecosystem that can protect the coastline from the erosion of storms and waves.He also told Li Xiao that the fruit trees and crops here are organically grown, very healthy and delicious.

Li Xiao was very surprised, he did not expect such a precious ecosystem and healthy agriculture on this small island.He feels that he has learned a lot from this trip, not only the scenery and scenery, but also the wisdom and methods of harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature.

Li Xiao strolled in the small village, and in this peaceful and beautiful land, he felt relaxed.He saw that the residents in the village were busy, some were trimming the garden in front of the hut, some were drying clothes on the side of the road, and some were chatting with their neighbors.

Walking in the small village, Li Xiao smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers and felt the breeze gently caressing his cheeks, all of which made him feel peaceful and relaxed.He saw a child playing and several cute puppies chasing and playing.Li Xiao felt as if she had returned to her childhood and experienced a carefree feeling.

Standing at the gate of the shrine, Li Xiao quietly watched the worshiping residents, feeling the religious atmosphere and beauty of faith in this small village.He deeply felt that even in this modern society, it is very important for the Japanese to inherit and develop traditional culture.

The architectural style of the shrine is simple and simple, which makes people feel sacred and solemn.Inside the shrine, there are some statues and gods, as well as some offerings and incense burners.The imperial banner on the wall is fluttering, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.Li Xiao suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility from the depths of his heart.

He looked at the residents in the shrine, they prayed devoutly, dedicating their prayers and wishes to the gods.Li Xiao has a deep understanding of the peace and strength of the mind brought about by this belief.

······································Dividing line·········· ···················

Li Xiao also prayed to the gods for some peace and health. He felt that such rituals and prayers would make him more self-disciplined and firm, injecting the power of faith into his life path.

In the shrine, he also learned some knowledge about traditional Japanese culture and folk beliefs.It is a very important cultural heritage that allows people to better understand the history and culture of Japan.

Walking out of the shrine, Li Xiao saw a small coffee shop.He walked in, sat by the window, tasted the hand-brewed coffee recommended by the store, savoring the mellow aroma of every sip of coffee.This kind of coffee is specially selected by the store from local coffee beans and brewed by hand. It has a very unique taste, full of sweetness and bitterness, and is very suitable for slow tasting.

In addition to coffee, the store also prepared local desserts for Li Xiao.Made from mangrove-picked fruits and local traditional pastries, these desserts are delicious.Among them is a pastry called "Mangrove Honey Cake", which is made of mangrove honey picked from the mangrove forest and traditional mochi.

The decoration inside the store is very warm, with local art works on the walls, a small bouquet of flowers on each table, and antique china and silverware on the tables, making people feel as if they are in an old and elegant space inside.

Li Xiao deeply felt the beautiful atmosphere emanating from this small coffee shop.The store owner is very friendly and enthusiastic. He chatted with him about the local culture and traditions, which gave him a deeper understanding of this mysterious island.

As time passed, Li Xiao had to leave this wonderful little village, but he was deeply impressed by this place.He realized that even in this modern world, there are still many places that retain the beauty and purity of the original ecology, and his soul has been deeply baptized because of this.

Time passed unknowingly, and Li Xiao decided to leave this small village and continue his travels.

He walked out of the coffee shop and walked towards the exit of the small village.When he was leaving, he saw an old woman gently watering the flowers in the garden. Li Xiao nodded to her, and the old woman responded to him with a smile.

Li Xiao glanced back at the small village, filled with emotion.He felt the tranquility and beauty here, as well as the enthusiasm and friendliness of the people here.

Leaving the small village, Li Xiao found a small restaurant.

I saw that the interior decoration of the store is simple, neat and clean.There are a few wooden tables and chairs in the shop, with a small light bulb on top. This layout looks very warm and makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The waitress greeted Li Xiao warmly, and recommended to him the local specialty tofu soup and grilled squid.At this time, Li Xiao felt his stomach growling, and seeing these delicacies on the menu, he couldn't help salivating.So, he ordered a tofu soup and grilled squid, and waited for the food to arrive.

After a while, a bowl of hot tofu soup was brought up, with chunks of tender tofu, seafood and vegetables floating in the soup.Li Xiao smelled the aroma of the soup, and felt that his nose was full of fresh aroma, which made his appetite even bigger.

He took a sip of the tofu soup with a spoon first, the taste was smooth, tender and refreshing, and he couldn't help but admire: "This is really a good bowl of soup!"

Next, he took another bite of seafood and tofu, and felt the softness of tofu blended with the deliciousness of seafood, which instantly satisfied the taste buds on his tongue.He unconsciously let out an admiration.

Afterwards, he took another bite of grilled squid, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and delicious.Tasting the grilled squid, he feels that every bite is fresh, accompanied by the smell of the sea breeze, which makes him happy physically and mentally.

After breakfast, Li Xiao started his island walk.Mangrove Island is a small island, and the best way to visit various attractions on the island is by walking.

Li Xiao stood by the seaside, looking at the sea in the distance, his heart was filled with peace and tranquility.He felt the power of the ocean and its immensity, as if all his troubles and worries had been taken away by the ocean.Some people are playing on the beach, some are basking in the sun, and some are swimming in the sea.Li Xiao felt that she was also carefree like a child, blending in with this beautiful nature.

He walked into the seawater stepping on the fine sand, and felt that the temperature of the seawater was very pleasant.He closed his eyes and let the sea water beat his body, feeling the power and coolness of the sea water, which made him feel happy.He slapped the sea water, as if he wanted to wash away all his troubles and stress with the sea water.

The scenery by the sea was so beautiful that he saw the rolling waves, heard the chirping of seagulls, and felt the refreshing sea breeze brushing against his cheeks.He realized that the beauty of the island is not only in its scenery, but also in the tranquility and relaxation it can bring.

Li Xiao thought of his own life. For a long time, he had been under high pressure, always chasing time and goals, and rarely had time to stop and enjoy the beauty of life.Today's experience made him realize that the important things in life are not those utilitarian things, but those things that can make people feel happy and relaxed.

He finally understood one thing, that is, life needs a kind of balance and harmony, not only goals and pursuits, but also enjoyment and relaxation.He vowed to make his life more balanced, find those things that make him happy and fulfilled, and enjoy the beauty and warmth in life.
