There are five flavors in life - sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

Xiao Zhang is a chef who runs a small restaurant, because of the location, in addition to daily operations, there are often crews who go to nearby film and television cities to order food from him, which is the bulk of his income.

Just after the Chinese New Year, the small restaurant opened on the first day of the new year.

The major crews are still resting, and even most of the group performers have returned to their hometowns for the New Year, and the business is very cold, and there is not a single guest in the morning.

For this situation, Xiao Zhang has long been accustomed to it, he lit a cigarette, bored behind the cash register, looking at the empty streets outside from time to time, thinking in his heart, if there are no guests in two hours, he will close the door in advance today, go to the nearest cinema to watch a movie, that "Thai Embarrassment" is said to be very good, I haven't seen it yet.

Unexpectedly, in such a calculation, the guests came-two young people of the same age, who looked stunned, knew at a glance that they were newcomers.

Also, if it weren't for the newcomers, how many old fritters would choose to come here at this time? It's hard to find work, and it's a waste of money.

The two of them took the menu and looked at it several times, and finally ordered the cheapest noodle soup in two nights.

Xiao Zhang didn't look down on them because of this, most of the people who came here were begging for a living, just those group performances, unless they took a special job, they would come here for a luxurious meal, and most of the time they ate very plainly, and even sometimes when the crew was less and there was no work, it was normal for two or three people to eat a bowl of noodles.

Xu was in a good mood just after the Spring Festival, and Xiao Zhang "showed great compassion" to them and added more noodles to them, and also gave them an extra poached egg.

Soon, two bowls of noodles were served, and the two young men were obviously hungry, so they started eating without saying a word, and soon the noodles bottomed out, and the two drank the remaining noodle soup slowly, and chatted without a word.

And Xiao Zhang, who was bored on the side, simply joined their chat with a cigarette in his mouth.

............

Time flies quickly, and as the Spring Festival passes, the major crews have started work one after another, and it has become lively again.

Xiao Zhang's luck was very good, and soon a familiar life producer came to the door, and the two quickly negotiated a medium-sized crew for lunch for the next month and a half.

Xiao Zhang, who was originally a little more idle because his apprentice came back from his hometown, immediately got busy again.

As usual, at noon, he handed over the small restaurant to his apprentices to take care of, and Xiao Zhang took the two restaurant guys to drive their own Wuling Shenguang to deliver food to the crew.

Don't look at the size of other crews, but the investment is not a lot, and the food supply is relatively high-end among all the crews, four dishes per meal, and there must be meat, plus a soup, such specifications, even Xiao Zhang's "old rivers and lakes" have never seen too much.

When I arrived at the crew, I followed the life producer who had been waiting there for a long time and went inside, and put the meals that had been packed one by one, of course, Xiao Zhang didn't need to do it, otherwise what would the two guys do.

Xiao Zhang and the life producer walked aside, skillfully handed a cigarette, then took out a lighter and lit it, and lit one by the way, looking at the scene of filming in the distance and chatting.

"Didn't you say this was a big production? Why don't I know any of those actors?" asked Xiao Zhang.

"Don't you understand this?" The life producer glanced at the distance and said in a suppressed voice, "Aren't there only those two possibilities?" ”

Of course, Xiao Zhang knows that he is either trying to praise newcomers or laundering money.

Of course, I know but I can't tell it, the two smiled tacitly, and each smoked a cigarette and didn't say more.

At the end, the life producer smiled: "It's not all newcomers, many of the supporting characters are familiar faces or even big names, hey, look over there, isn't that." ”

Xiao Zhang looked in the direction pointed by the life producer, and sure enough, he saw a familiar face.

That's also an actor, or to be precise, he's a stuntman.

............

In costume martial arts dramas like this, stuntmen are always tired, especially in the current environment where cutting out pictures and slapping face stand-ins is commonplace.

The stuntman was very tired today, and he was sweating profusely when he came to fetch food.

Xiao Zhang deliberately gave this acquaintance an extra meal, the two looked at each other and smiled, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then continued to go their separate ways.

Such a peaceful life did not last long, on this day, Xiao Zhang, as always, took two guys to deliver food to the crew, however, the people in the crew were obviously not in the mood to eat today, because a major event attracted them.

In the same film and television city, not far from them, in another studio, there was an accident in the shooting.

A Ming drama that caused a fire because of the negligence of the demolitionist.

This is not the point, the point is that the male and female protagonists of this drama, as well as the two more popular stars nowadays, are trapped in the fire.

At this time, how could anyone be in the mood to film or eat, and they rushed to see the excitement, Xiao Zhang is a layman, of course, he is not exempt from vulgarity, after ordering the two guys to set up the lunch box first, he hurriedly followed the crowd and ran over there.

Unfortunately, he still went a little late, and when he arrived, the fire department had already arrived and began to direct the fire extinguishing, and at the same time, the people in the fire were rescued one after another.

Xiao Zhang only saw that the actor of that play was carried on a stretcher and put in an ambulance, and his hands and face were exposed and severely burned!

............

The crew is on fire, and the news that the male and female protagonists are seriously injured has caused a huge reversal in the outside world, and the lack of attention to the safety of filming in the Chinese film and television industry, as well as the worries about the male and female protagonists, have become the hottest topics.

As the center of the topic, the film and television city was quiet very early.

The studio where the accident occurred was closed, and the crew had been completely withdrawn, while the rest of the crew continued their filming, the only difference was that they received a notice from the management of the film and television city to increase safety protection, as for whether the increase has increased, only those crews themselves know.

Of course, there is still an impact, after the filming of this batch of crews was completed, there were fewer crews who came to the film and television city to shoot in the follow-up than before, and Xiao Zhang's work of delivering boxed lunches to the crew could not be continued, so he could only return to the identity and daily life of the owner of the restaurant.

Although there is no income from the crew's food ordering, the business of the small restaurant has been good, and Xiao Zhang is in a good mood, sitting behind the cash register most of the day, smoking a cigarette and watching the crowded streets outside, and occasionally chatting with the guests in the restaurant when he is interested.

On this day, a special guest came to the tavern.

It was a child, a little chubby, and he looked very cute, but he didn't seem to like to talk, and he didn't say a word from the moment he entered the restaurant.

His parents kept talking to him, and they were always gesturing with him, of course, in Xiao Zhang's opinion, this was just a way for his parents to make him happy.

Of course, this perception changes as the child responds to his parents, who still do not speak, but responds to his parents with gestures.

Xiao Zhang understood that those gestures were not to make the child happy, but to communicate, it was sign language, and the child was deaf and mute.

............

The child's parents brought the child here to visit the film and television city, so that the child can see the world, and it can be seen from the expression on the child's chubby face that today's visit made him very happy.

After eating, the family checked out and left.

Xiao Zhang stepped forward and began to clean up the leftovers on the table, looking at the plate of fried bitter gourd on the table, he suddenly picked up a piece of it and put it in his mouth to chew carefully.

Soon, one of his faces wrinkled.

There are five flavors in life - sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

It's fucking miserable!
