There is a lovely saying, “Give someone a rose, and leave a lingering fragrance in your hand.” It’s a good word, and it has an artistic conception. It is exciting to hear it, and I will think of imitating it. If everyone did this, the world would be a much better place.
The matter of “leaving fragrance in the hand” is not necessarily a patent for roses. In the summer peach season, we always eat a lot of peaches. Japan’s Okayama peaches, China’s Wuxi Yangshan peaches, and Ningbo’s Fenghua peaches have their own merits, sweet and juicy, and they have one thing in common, that is, the fragrance of peach is overflowing, especially with Peel the skin with your hand, then grab it and eat it. After eating a peach, the fragrance of the peach will remain on your hands, and you will not be able to wash it off for a while. As long as you put your hand in front of your face, the fragrance of the peach will strike, which is very pleasant.
Therefore, giving peaches to someone will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands, which is also a pleasant thing.
Another time, I ate “Huangsha Pig Congee” at “Zhengdou” for dinner. The porridge was very hot. I picked it up with a spoon and ate it slowly. It was delicious. At the same time, I smelled the scent of Huangsha pig porridge. I thought it was memory at first, but later I found out that the scent was coming from my fingers. Only then did I think of the hot bowl of porridge just now. I was eating it while steaming, and the heat carried the aroma of the porridge to my fingers. After a long time, my hands left a lingering fragrance. When I got home, I rushed the manuscript without washing my hands. Revisiting delicious, suddenly hungry again.
On our hands, there is often an aftertaste, some of which are particularly stubborn and cannot be washed off within a day. For example, when I used to eat hairy crabs, the crab smell would remain on the hands for a long time, and the smell could not be removed with soap at once. It was necessary to wash with tea leaves and toothpaste. After washing several times, it would improve. This also shows that the quality of crabs at that time was really good. Only good crabs have such a strong crab smell. You can smell it in the corridor outside the door when you eat it at home. But now, hairy crabs are produced in many places, and the quality varies. If you eat crabs at home, you may not smell crabs immediately when you open the door. After eating such hairy crabs, wash your hands after eating, and the crab smell will be gone. Even if your tongue doesn’t work, your nose will tell you it’s not a good deal.
