This plate of "salt and pepper shrimp" touched Hong Yanwu far beyond the reasonable range.
After eating it, he was immersed in it for several days, not knowing the taste of meat and unable to extricate himself.
Of course, this does not mean that "Zhang Dashao" is a chef. This dish is so fantasy that once it is tasted, it will taste nothing else.
In fact, the real reason is that the persistence and enthusiasm shown by "Zhang Dashao" in this dish unexpectedly gave Hong Yanwu an unexpected but extremely strong spiritual shock.
It was like a thunderbolt, a sharp flash, that suddenly made him connect everything in front of him with the future he had experienced.
He suddenly thought of what society would look like in a few decades.
By then, it will be so different from now that there will no longer be anyone like "Zhang Dashao".
People's lives are becoming more and more modern, but they have lost patience and confidence.
Everyone is superstitious about technology, superstitious academic qualifications, superstitious nepotism, superstitious unspoken rules, and even superstitious about zodiac signs and constellations, but they dare not trust others or themselves.
People feel insecure and become suspicious of everything and deny everything.
The more orthodox and empirical something is, the more it will be contradicted and ridiculed by others.
"Honest", "down-to-earth" and "willing to work" have become synonymous with cowards and fools.
People of that era only called dreams things that could be realized instantly.
People have become opportunistic, worshiping sudden wealth, and thinking every day about how to pay the least price in exchange for the highest return.
Everyone wastes a lot of time on boring things, but they always like to say that they are too busy and have no time.
The capital? The capital is gone. Although it still exists in name, it is only the capital.
It has become a huge modern city composed of reinforced concrete, electronic networks, congested traffic, and dazzling advertisements and lights.
The commercial streets are all confusing, the snacks in Beijing are all fabricated, and foreign fast food can be found everywhere, occupying the largest share of the catering market in Beijing.
However, the dishes in our local restaurants all have the same taste. The profession of chef is essentially engaged in chemical work.
"Polar Bear" is gone, Peony cigarettes are gone, and "Five Star" beer is gone.
The big bowls of tea that cost a few cents apiece are gone at the bottom of the building at the front door. Those time-honored restaurants that used to attract customers based on their taste have gradually become flashy places that prey on tourists.
Brands from all over the world are flocking to the capital to get a share of the pie. Although we still make these products ourselves, we can only win people's trust if we put foreign labels on them.
But that's not the worst part. Even the people in the capital only have bragging and scolding as synonyms.
The modesty, politeness, tolerance, sincerity, humor, optimism, and politeness of the past have almost been completely obliterated by time.
In such a future, all people want and chase are colorful bills, and they are willing to exchange whatever they can for money.
Ancestral home, old things, time, body, feelings, self-esteem, conscience, face... everything can be sold at a price.
No hesitation, no need to be stingy.
Just like him, just like what he himself had done before!
But is it worth it? Even if you get the price you want, can what you lose really equal what you gain? Which one is more valuable?
Hong Yanwu was confused and frightened.
Because as someone who has experienced it, even if he understands it now, it will not help.
The materialistic environment will not change because of his small individual, and he has no way to let others understand his feelings.
Fortunately, he was so happy and excited about copying seal stones, calligraphy and paintings, jades, and antiques.
But he forgot one thing. Although he could put those tangible treasures into his bag, how could he retain more intangible treasures?
It can't be bought simply by spending a few dollars. There are many things that he is reluctant to part with and cannot live without, and he is destined to lose them.
Beijing is also destined to become a city that is no longer livable.
So he discovered that the happiness he had finally obtained now was actually in jeopardy, and was actually in a state of being fleeting and fleeting.
He can't live alone and create a safe paradise. No matter how much wealth he has, he can't.
Because the happiness he wants requires a specific environment and atmosphere, and "home" is also shrouded in the concept of "capital".
If you can't even find a place to eat a bowl of authentic fried noodles and braised noodles, how can this be called Beijing?
If you can't see the sun and the blue sky for most of the year, and can only live in a gray haze caused by smog and exhaust, what can you call life?
His parents are even less likely to tolerate an environment where there are no neighbors to chat with or acquaintances to say hello to, otherwise they wouldn't have moved into the old house long ago?
Therefore, for Hong Yanwu, this feeling was like someone suddenly patting him from behind when he was unprepared.
Horrible and shocking!
Or maybe you wake up late one day, put on your clothes and go to work in a hurry, only to remember on the way that you forgot to lock the door.
A sudden shiver ran down my spine!
What should he do? What should he do? What can he do?
Maybe he thinks life is too simple. Even if he is a reborn person, many things are still beyond his reach, and regrets are inevitable.
Just like...just like what happened between him and "Tangxiner"...
But this thought really made him angry and depressed.
And does he have the ability to change something? How useful would it be if he acted as a mantis to block the car?
I'm afraid it will take him a lot of time to think clearly.
However, precisely because of the problems in his heart, he suddenly became much quieter and became more serious about his work.
It seems that he suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, or that working can make him feel at ease. He "squeaks" and competes with his work every day.
But he didn't expect that this was a mistake, and it fell into the eyes of "Zhang Dashao", who actually thought that the boy could be taught.
Anyway, after this incident, the stubborn old man's attitude towards Hong Yanwu has obviously improved.
At least I'm willing to chat with him when nothing happens.
What is even more unexpected is that the old guy is quite interesting to tease Menzi, because he always likes to play cymbals with food.
For example, when it comes to fried dough sticks, he told Hong Yanwu, "It tells you that if you don't suffer, you won't mature. If you always suffer, you will become an old fried dough stick."
What about steamed buns? When they are small, they are more substantial. When they are great, they become empty.
Noodles? If you want to succeed, you have to rely on others to help you.
Dumplings? If you are too thick-skinned, it is not a good thing.
Soda? Keep it in check. When the time comes, there will always be time for you to bubble.
Steamed crabs? A red day is a time of great sorrow.
Tofu? A critical stage that requires enlightenment.
Wotou? It’s better to be careful as a human being.
Not to mention, not only listening to Coke, but also thinking about it carefully, it is quite consistent with the world's conditions.
Of course, Hong Yanwu is also a joker. Similarly, he responded with jokes in the "Food Fight Series".
As a result, "Zhang Dashao" was also amused by those whimsical baggage.
In this way, we got along better and harmoniously. When "Zhang Dashao" was happy, he made "salt and pepper shrimp" again.
Following this approach, Hong Yanwu probably wouldn't have to worry about satisfying his cravings.
Therefore, the one who was really passive at this time was the deputy secretary who brought Hong Yanwu here.
Because he originally wanted Hong Yanwu to suffer, but he didn't expect this kid to adapt well here.
And because Chen Liquan had to accompany him to "serve his sentence", the fried liver authentically taught by "Tianxingju" was nowhere to be found in the cafeteria.
Not to mention the employees' opinions, many people raised their opinions with the administrative department, and the factory leaders also thought about it. Even Secretary Guo asked about it.
What to do? In order to avoid a lot of criticism, we can only transfer people back.
Hey, there is a saying that it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. Now that people have come, it is not that easy to let them go.
Master Pang and the section chief both came to persuade him, but Hong Yanwu didn't give him any face this time, and even threatened to attack this place as "Shajiabang".
Well, now the colleagues in the cafeteria are all in support, because no one is willing to replace him.
After Master Pang and the section chief discussed it, they both did not want to be criticized and reported directly to the deputy secretary.
It is said that people are not willing to be special, but they still need to carry forward the spirit of hard work and hard work. If the transfer is forced, it will not make sense. The employees in the big cafeteria will also have opinions, and it will be difficult to convince the public, and the work will not be possible.
Well, now the deputy secretary finally feels in a dilemma.
What should we do in the end? In the end, the deputy secretary came forward to talk to Hong Yanwu and got him to agree that every Wednesday, he and Chen Liquan would squeeze out one person to work in the cafeteria and cook a meal of fried liver for the employees.
But the deputy secretary was not happy because Hong Yanwu would never give his contribution in vain.
He could only agree to raise the salaries of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan by half a level in advance.
In this way, the basic salary of each of these two boys will become 60 yuan.
Hey, I didn't intend to correct the person, but I didn't succeed. Instead, I raised wages for other people's parents. I was just digging a hole for myself.
How?
The feeling of being touched by this matter is not a taste at all.
If you think about it deeply, it will definitely make the deputy secretary feel aggrieved for half a year.
