Chapter 54 Stir-fried liver and stewed
Chen Dazhong said: "Put the statue of the god, there is always something to ask for." I know that many people on the road in Hong Kong City, or people in the entertainment industry, worship Guan Gong and ask for blessings. ”
Han Zhou nodded.
Chen Dazhong is right. In Hong Kong City, both black and white worship Guan Gong.
"Guan Sheng Emperor Jun Jue Shi Zhenjing" said, "Life in the world, noble loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, so that humanity is worthy of it, and you can stand between heaven and earth." "Guan Gong has been loyal and benevolent all his life, and his integrity is famous all over the world, and Guan Gong is not only a culture, but also a spirit.
In the southeastern coastal areas with strong clan culture, Guan Gong is highly worshipped.
With the footsteps of Cantonese and Fujianese, this culture has spread all over the world. Chinatown.
Hong Kong's worship of Guan Gong is not only a tradition, but also a kind of psychological comfort. According to the analysis of psychological experts, if the police force gives up worshipping Emperor Guan, it may make the police officers who have always had the habit of worshipping feel uncomfortable: "It's like everyone is used to carrying a mobile phone phone, and suddenly it is gone, and there will be a feeling of psychological unease." ”
As a community of interests, we need to be a human being, and loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the basic requirements of this bottom line. At the same time, Master Guan is also the God of Wealth, which has the meaning of attracting wealth, so it has become a tradition for gangsters to worship Master Guan.
The famous actor who is well-known to the Chinese people because of the Crazy Boy series, Brother Crow Zhang Yaoyang, when filming "One Hand Covers the Sky", because of the need to highly restore the historical scene, the director decided to focus on the details of the statue of Guan Gong.
The actor who smashed Guan Gong's statue is Zhang Yaoyang. It also put him in a dilemma. Because Guan Gong represents the ultimate in loyalty, courage and benevolence, he is a martial saint worshiped by the people for thousands of years.
Half of the people on the road like Zhang Yaoyang think that disrespecting Guan Gong will be unlucky for a lifetime.
He couldn't get past the psychological hurdle anyway.
So the director wanted to spend money to solve it, and wrapped a 6.66w red envelope and stuffed it to Zhang Yaoyang, which can be regarded as compensation for his performance of blasphemy against the martial saint.
However, as far as Zhang Yaoyang is concerned, smashing the statue of Guan Gong after receiving the money is not forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit?
Zhang Yaoyang is completely unacceptable.
But if you don't smash it, you can only quit, this play is coming to an end, and it is even more unkind and unjust to do so.
According to tabloid news, Zhang Yaoyang, who remembered that he had no choice at the time, had to make a decision by flipping a coin. As a result, the coin was tossed and fell to the ground, and after a few clicks, it rolled into a crack and got stuck. It seems that God is not willing to help him choose.
Zhang Yaoyang was a little at a loss, but the director still had a lot of ideas: he asked Zhang Yaoyang to reshape Guan Gong's golden body after smashing the statue of Guan Gong, and quit meat and alcohol to express his gratitude.
Zhang Yaoyang agreed, and when he was shooting, he was ruthless, and threw the statue of Guan Gong out violently, and it was over again.
Afterwards, Zhang Yaoyang reshaped a statue of Guan Gong with a golden body, fasted for a month, and did not touch wine and meat.
Of course, he resolutely refused to accept the red envelope given by the director, and when the play was completed, the crew also burned incense for seven days on the set, which was also to apologize to Guan Shengren.
Only then did the matter settle relatively satisfactorily.
This also reflects a kind of psychology in the bones of Chinese.
The gods can be unbelieving, and they cannot be disrespectful.
In particular, Emperor Guan, Guanyin Bodhisattva and other good gods in the Buddhist and Taoist circles are widely recognized by the people. There is always a respect in my heart. When you're young, you might say something like that, but the older you get, the more respectful you become.
Han Zhou said: "I want to 'invite' a statue of Emperor Guan with a background to sit in my private museum, Lao Chen, do you have a way here." ”
You have to say "please", you can't say "buy", the nature is different.
Chen Dazhong said: "I'll help you ask, and I'll contact you when I have news." “
Han Zhou said: "Okay." “
......
The next day, Han Zhou flew back to the capital.
Received a message from Du Ziyuan.
Lao Du: Lao Han, two days later, I will come to the capital to give you a report. Report on the basic situation of domestic local pig breeds.
Happy Little Jumping Frog: Okay, waiting for you.
Han Zhou did not go home directly.
Let's have dinner on the side of the road first.
What is it to eat?
A little old, a little old, a little bit
Stir-fry the liver. One of the traditional snacks of old Beijing. With the pig's liver, large intestine and other main ingredients, the soup is oily and bright and the sauce is red, the liver sausage is fat, the taste is thick but not greasy, thin but not sluggish.
Although fried liver is called fried liver, the material is actually mainly pork fat intestines, and pork liver only accounts for 1/3.
So why is it called fried liver, not fried fat sausage? This starts with the origin of fried liver.
During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Xianyukou Hutong of Qianmen will live in Xianxian.
The Liu brothers and sisters of Huixianju initially operated white water offal, but after a long time, the business was sluggish, and the brothers discussed how to improve the practice of white water offal. It just so happened that Yang Manqing, the host of "Beijing Xinbao" at that time, often frequented Beijing snack bars and was very familiar with the Liu brothers. If someone asks why it's called fried liver, you say that the liver has been fried.
It is difficult to reflect the ingenious conception and packaging methods of the old Beijingers.
Han Zhou ate the large intestine in the fried liver, which was fatty, chewy, meaty, and delicious.
People who have eaten this thing say that it is good, and those who don't eat it will not dare to eat it for the rest of their lives, but it's a pity.
Foreigners don't eat fat sausages since they were young, and they don't dare to eat them when they grow up in China. Chicken feet are the same, how delicious the food, soaked in the soup of the meat and crab pot is really fragrant and glutinous, it is a pity not to eat it for the rest of your life.
Taste the stew again. It is also a famous local traditional snack in Beijing, a hodgepodge of various sewer offal.
It is to boil the roasted, stewed pork intestines and pork lungs together, buy a bowl of staple food, and have both non-staple food and hot soup.
Braised boiled originated in Nanheng Street in the south of Beijing. It is said that during the Guangxu period, because the Suzhou meat boiled with pork belly was expensive, people used pig's head meat and pig water instead. After the spread of folk cooking masters, over time, it has created a braised fire. It is estimated that there are few authentic Beijingers who don't know how to boil and burn.
A bowl of hot stew, fire, tofu, and lungs have absorbed enough soup, and the small intestine is soft and thick but not greasy.
Han Zhou asked for another piece of rice.
Eat it with braised and fried liver, especially with rice.
In fact, these so-called "traditional snacks" made from pigs were cheap foods that were not elegant in the old days.
Who can afford to eat meat and is willing to eat pig water? Even if the large intestine is counted, few people are really willing to eat pig lungs and pig small intestines.
But after all, the bottom talents are the majority, and when the world changes, the people turn over and become the masters, and the taste memory of these low-level foods is retained.
Coupled with the status and affluence of the capital, these foods, which were regarded as identity and childhood memories by old Beijing, have become "famous traditional snacks".
If you don't eat, you're not authentic.
