The plot structure of the movie "Dumpling Detective" is very simple, that is, the police catch the bad guys.
To be more precise, a middle-aged old policeman with no aspirations led his colleagues and comrades to capture a major drug lord.
Being frustrated in middle age is the key word of the movie, and it is also the label of the male protagonist Xu Aiguo.
From the beginning, the plot has always been centered around this label on him.
About to be relegated to the second line, he was overtaken by the apprentice who brought him out. The team members are a little strange, the progress of the case is slow, the boss does not trust him, and he can't even ask for special funds...
The career is not going well, and the family is not going well either.
His wife despises him and dislikes the fact that he has not been promoted for so many years. His salary is not even as high as hers. When he comes home, he is all kinds of nagging.
Even her daughter thought Xu Aiguo was an incompetent person, although she filially said that when she grew up, she would make money for him to support him in his old age.
But for an ambitious man and father, such thoughtful words are like a sharp knife piercing the heart.
It was precisely because of the joint "assistance" of the mother and daughter that Xu Aiguo made up his mind to use the down payment of his family's house purchase.
According to the dialogue between Xu Aiguo and his wife in the movie, we learned that the house the family lives in now is rented because the elderly family member has been seriously ill for many years and the family has no savings.
Until the old man passed away a few years ago, the couple had no burden and finally saved up enough for the down payment to buy a house, ending their years of living under the roof of others.
His wife had already begun to inquire about suitable properties, but in order to catch Crazy Cui, preserve his career, and protect the dignity of his father and husband, Xu Aiguo boldly put up the down payment to sell a store.
Xu Aiguo's calculation was very good. As long as he caught Crazy Cui and made some achievements, he could apply to the superiors to have the bureau reimburse the funds for handling the case.
When the time comes, he will take the money back and secretly make up for the shortfall. If everything goes well, the possibility of his wife finding out is very low.
I got a promotion and a salary increase, I stood tall in front of my wife and daughter, and I didn't delay buying a house for my family. I achieved more with one stone.
Xu Aiguo thinks he is a little genius...
And here, the other four young geniuses in the protagonist group are also trying every possible means to trouble the dumpling shop owner who is about to sign the transfer contract.
On the pretext that they were a family and wanted to do some business but didn't have enough money, they begged the shop owner to give them a few days' grace.
During this period, the relationship between several people was also made up. Aaron, played by Duan Long, is the second brother, Xiaowu, played by Zhang Xingxing, is the younger brother, Bao Baobao, played by Sha Yi, and Bawanghua, played by Yin Li, are the third brother and sister-in-law.
However, no matter how much people talked about it, they had no money, and the store owner ignored them. At the critical moment, Xu Aiguo arrived and bought the store at a slightly higher price.
After the contract was signed, the store owner was very happy and praised them as a family for working together to open the store and do business. They have a great relationship.
Xu Aiguo arrived late and didn't know what had happened before, but with the reflexes of a veteran detective, he immediately understood that this was an excuse made by his colleagues, and hugged Bawanghua generously.
"That's right, we, a husband and wife, and a few brothers are doing a small business. If the brothers work together, they are as powerful as gold."
The shop owner looked confused, pointed at Bao Baobao and said, "Didn't you just say that they are a couple?"
"..."
Xu Aiguo let go of Bawanghua's hand in embarrassment and remained silent for two seconds: "He is his ex-husband."
"Si Guoyi!"
The store owner was amazed: "Your family is really wild. I have only seen this kind of plot in Japanese movies. This is my first time in reality."
Xu Aiguo:^_^(perfunctory smile)
The mean-mouthed Bao Baobao: "Actually, there are many similar themes in Europe and the United States."
The other three: "..."
………
"Hahahahaha."
A driving meme also contained a wave of Japanese. The audience was amused and laughed heartily, and some experienced drivers even had expressions on their faces that all men would understand.
The plot is still going on, no matter the twists and turns, the dumpling shop is finally closed, and the five-person group also ensures the existence of the surveillance base camp.
The next step is to continue to stay there and look for opportunities to send the monitoring equipment to the express warehouse.
However, soon, the five protagonists discovered that what they thought was simple again...
In the dumpling shop, a group of five people were gathering together for a meeting. On the table were Crazy Cui and photos of people who entered and left the express warehouse during this period.
As soon as the doorbell rang and guests came to the door, the five-person team immediately hurriedly packed up the information in order to keep it confidential.
The above scene happened 13 times in one day, and the five protagonists collapsed.
Before, they were here to keep watch, and not a single customer came to the door all day long. Now it is their turn to take over, and customers are coming in like crazy.
Could this be the new store effect...
And the ensuing problems are also in front of us. The boss has been replaced, and a new store has been opened, but it has not opened any business and coaxed customers away when they saw it.
If you say that you are not ready for a day or two, if it goes on for a long time, you may arouse the suspicion of people around you.
Therefore, regardless of whether the business is good or bad, this dumpling shop must be opened seriously.
Firstly, it paralyzes the enemy and disguises oneself, and secondly, it also prepares the ground for the delivery person to install surveillance and conduct a thorough investigation.
However, a new problem came again.
To open a dumpling shop, you have to sell something. Dumplings are okay, even quick-frozen dumplings can be fooled, but no dumpling shop only sells dumplings. There must be at least two or three braised vegetables or stir-fried vegetables.
It would be troublesome to just go out and buy it, and since they are short of funds, it is best to do it yourself.
After an internal competition, the five-person group finally chose Bao Baobao from a well-known restaurant family to cook dumplings, braised vegetables and stir-fries.
Soon, the first customer arrived.
I ordered two plates of dumplings and a portion of stir-fried vegetables and stir-fried vegetables. After Bao Bao Bao finished it and served it, the guests were full of praises, especially the braised vegetables and stir-fried vegetables made by Bao Bao Bao. They kept saying they were delicious.
The first guest got off to a good start, and the fivesome excitedly celebrated with fists pumping, and reacted after two seconds.
They came here to handle the case, and the guests praised them for what they were so happy about...
But after all, the dumpling shop is on the right track. The final doubts have been eliminated and they can focus on solving the case.
However, the protagonist group miscalculated.
Bao Baobao's outstanding craftsmanship made the dumpling shop a hit, and the shop was packed with customers. There was a long queue of fifty or sixty people at the door.
Except for Aaron who was watching outside, the remaining four people were busy cooking, cashiering, waiting tables, and doing odd jobs.
In the evening, the four of us have to clean, wash the dishes, and prepare food for tomorrow.
Xiao Wu, played by Zhang Xingxing, was too tired to raise his hands. He complained to Xu Aiguo's conductor and was scolded by Xu.
"You have to do what you do and love what you do. This is just a small job and you are tired. You have no professionalism at all. How can you make big money?"
Xiaowu was stunned for a moment: "My profession seems to be...a police officer."
Although he was exhausted, it must be said that the booming business made Lao Xu of the Money Bank Shop a lot of money. When he came home one day, he threw a luxury bag to his wife.
His wife was surprised and happy, complaining about his random shopping, but she couldn't stop the smile on her face. Then, Xu Aiguo threw out a wad of cash, indicating that the bureau had given out a bonus.
At this time, the wife was not calm at all. She excitedly grabbed her daughter-in-law and rushed to the bathroom to take a bath and give Lao Xu a good treat.
Xu Aiguo, who was middle-aged and had no choice but to panic, pulled the zipper of his coat to the top and asked with a hint of fear.
"What are you doing? Why are you taking a shower? I'm very tired from work today. Hey, please stop taking a shower. Can you let me eat first..."
………
The booming business has attracted media attention to the dumpling shop. A big internet celebrity came to visit and expressed his willingness to make a store tour video to attract traffic to the dumpling shop.
Of course, the dumpling shop needs to pay some fees.
Because the store became popular, the five protagonists were almost worried to death. They went crazy and asked Internet celebrities to divert traffic and directly kicked the Internet celebrities out.
How could a big Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans on the Internet have ever received such a cold reception, and made such promises to make the protagonist group look good?
Soon, Aaron, who had been squatting outside, finally discovered someone driving away from the express warehouse. He called his colleagues in the store for help, but received no response, so he had to drive to follow him. However, because there was only one person, he eventually lost track of him.
After staying there for such a long time, he made some progress, but failed to catch it. Aaron was going crazy and went back to the dumpling shop to question the crime, but he was furiously attacked by the four people who had just unloaded.
Bao Baobao: "It's not easy for you to keep an eye out alone, but aren't we tired?
Look at my hands, they are hot with oil and cut with a knife. I am a people's policeman who catches criminals, but now I can only sit in the kitchen cooking and cooking dumplings every day. Do you know how I feel?"
Xiaowu: "Have you ever cut five bags of garlic, thirty pounds of meat, and a hundred pounds of vegetables a day? I feel sick when I smell garlic now, it makes me sick!"
Bawanghua: "Today's turnover is over 2,000, and the average per capita is about 50. You can calculate how many people I served today, and how many tables I cleaned.
Aaron was dumbfounded after hearing this and couldn't help but tremble.
But Aaron soon realized that they opened the store to catch people, not to make money, so why did they have to do their best to do business.
Prices must be raised! Prices must be raised!
Xu Aiguo came up with a sky-high price menu, including dumplings, stewed vegetables, and stir-fried vegetables. The price increased more than ten times compared with the original price.
He couldn't believe that there were still people eating at such an exaggerated price.
When the screen turned, it showed Xu Aiguo's confused face.
The screen cut in front of him again. There were many more customers in the store than before. Xiao Wu ran to him, half sighing and half introducing to the movie audience.
After the price increase in the dumpling shop, they did not persuade those customers to leave. On the contrary, it was spread that the master chef of the dumpling shop was a descendant of the imperial chef. Although the price was expensive, the taste was comparable to that of top private chefs.
Over time, the dumpling shop became an internet celebrity, and many new customers even came to check in.
In one sentence, the dumpling shop is extremely popular...
The protagonist group was once again forced to panic, so they came up with a method of limiting the number of guests to 50 per day, and finally got a breather.
All that's left is to wait for the drug dealers at the express warehouse to take the bait.
During this period, the protagonist group, whose case had not made any progress, was summoned by their superiors, and Xu Aiguo's retreat to the second line was brought up again.
Seeing that he was running out of ammunition and food, Xu Aiguo was desperate. Suddenly, a call came from the express warehouse to order food.
The protagonist group rushed out of the police station impatiently. Xu Aiguo went out personally, put on equipment, and prepared to solve the surveillance issue in one fell swoop. However, when they arrived at the express warehouse, they found that the people here had been replaced.
It turns out that the business of the dumpling shop was so booming, with customers every day, that the drug dealer felt guilty and was afraid that something might go wrong if people talked too much, so he quietly moved the place while the protagonist group was busy doing business.
Xu Aiguo's confidence that he had just mentioned has become decadent again.
As a veteran criminal policeman on the front line for many years, he could not bear the humiliation of stepping into the second line early. Instead of doing so, he might as well retire early and go into business.
Anyway, the dumpling shop is doing well, and he can support his family without his job.
However, reality slapped the unlucky Xu Aiguo hard.
The big Internet celebrity mentioned earlier, because of his grudge, has always wanted to secretly investigate the dumpling shop, and made a special video to reveal some mistakes and omissions of the dumplings.
For example, the dumplings are quick-frozen dumplings, the descendants of the imperial chef have IQ taxes, and the boss seems to have a background as a public official.
The video of a big internet celebrity has gone viral.
However, Xu Aiguo and other team members were suspended and put on probation. The dumpling shop also became notorious and its business plummeted.
The wife also found out about Xu Aiguo's secret business and was suspended from his job, and was furious. However, looking at her haggard-looking husband, she thought that he was just trying to supplement the family income, so she couldn't help but soften her heart and said a few sincere words.
In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Xu Aiguo to be a criminal police officer. This job was too dangerous. She and her daughter were frightened at home every day, so she took this opportunity to simply let Xu Aiguo resign.
Since Xu Aiguo once ran a popular Internet celebrity store, it proves that he has a talent for business.
It doesn't matter if the dumpling shop goes bankrupt, you can open a fried chicken shop or barbecue restaurant.
After listening to his wife's words, Xu Aiguo, whose eyes were already red with emotion, hugged his wife and thanked his wife for her understanding and support with a hint of sobs.
The wife hugged her husband and explained her plan while comforting him.
Opening a store requires start-up capital, and the family has not saved much money over the years. It is better to shelve the plan to buy a house for the time being and use the down payment for Xu Aiguo to start his own business.
Xu Aiguo cried even more sadly when he heard his wife talking about the down payment for starting his own business.
If this bitch knew that money was thrown at the dumpling shop, would her left leg or right leg be broken?
The answer is, both legs are healthy.
But his face turned into a pig's head, and he was ordered to get back the down payment, otherwise he would not be able to step into the house.
There is no hope of reinstatement, and he was kicked out of the house by his wife.
Nowadays, the only way Xu Aiguo has left is to run a dumpling shop well. If he fails, he will really be alone and unemployed.
On the other side, Crazy Cui, who had never shown up, noticed the dumpling shop owned by Xu Aiguo and others.
Crazy Cui lives up to his name, and can often do crazy things that no one expects.
After living in anonymity for many years, his purpose for reappearing is very simple - he has no money.
Their profession of licking blood may be gone one day. They pay attention to timely gratification. They are accustomed to spending money lavishly. Even if they have decided to wash their hands with gold, they still do not change their bad habits.
After several years of squandering, there is not much left of what Madman Cui saved back then.
If a drug lord has no money, he must return to his old business if he wants to make money.
However, due to the increasing intensity of the country's crackdown on drugs in recent years, Crazy Cui felt that he could not work in the country for long, so he had the idea of developing abroad.
But to open up new markets abroad, you have to have someone with money, so Madman Cui gathered a group of people and planned to do a big job, and then run away abroad after making money.
Now, he has accumulated a lot of goods and wants to find a big buyer to sell them all at once, but he has never found a suitable one.
He wanted to continue waiting, but his subordinates could not see Qian's complaints. In order to appease people, Cui Crazy could only choose to go forward in two ways.
While shipping bulk goods myself, I'm also looking for big buyers.
In order to ensure the safety of shipments, Crazy Cui wanted to find a foolproof solution, but he had no idea until he was reminded by the dog-headed military advisor and came up with the great idea of delivering food.
The plan is like this, find a store, pay some money to join the franchise, then simply set up a few branches as a cover, and then deliver food, and this delivery is actually to deliver goods to buyers who have been contacted in advance.
As for why you are looking for a franchise, firstly, there is a layer of skin to block it, so as not to arouse suspicion. Secondly, if something happens and the police want to investigate, they have to start with the old store first.
Of course, this plan has a lot of loopholes, which may be fine for a short period of time, but will definitely be exposed over time.
But what Crazy Cui wants is this short period of time. He can not only ship some bulk goods to appease his men, but he can also take the opportunity to continue contacting big buyers.
The infamous dumpling shop has become the target of Crazy Cui...

PS: It was my fault that "Dumpling Detective" replaced the original fried chicken or lobster with dumplings. At that time, I just considered that the dumplings were more popular among the people, but ignored the plot logic.
By the time I realized something was wrong as I wrote it, it was too late to correct it, so I had to forcefully smooth things over. I hope everyone will forgive me.
I will skip this movie soon, and I will learn from it in the future and try not to make such stupid mistakes.
Finally, I continued to shamelessly ask for a monthly ticket... (No money is required for this paragraph)
