Chapter 43: Turning the Page
In November 1982, the TV series "Wasted Years", adapted from Ye Xin's name of the same name, ended its broadcast on China Television Station.
This TV series not only caused a national sensation, but also triggered a review of the lives of educated youth.
Guan Mucun's TV series theme song "An Unforgettable Song" sang popular all over the country.
Xiao Xiong, who played the heroine Du Jianchun, also left a deep impression on the audience, and won the Best Actress Award at the first TV Golden Eagle Awards.
As for the reason why the response of this work is so strong and it will become a cultural hotspot, it is mainly because it shows the road that a generation has walked together, and it is inseparable from the background of the times.
Thousands of educated youths with similar experiences, it is from this TV series that they suddenly remembered the appearance of their laid-off labor when they sang "Three Sets of Carriages", and the ups and downs of fate and the hardships of life.
Naturally, if you empathize, you will feel the emotion because of the touch, giving birth to a complex taste that is both bitter and comforting.
May people's years never go back forever! May the years become history forever!
Fortunately, this is indeed the case, and a new page has been quietly turned in history.
Now, four or five years have passed, and most of the educated youth have not only found their new life coordinates, but also almost all of them are looking forward to the future with a longing gaze and welcoming changes.
Like Shou Zhen and Hong Yanwen, as one of the luckier members, they are naturally typical representatives of this generation of elites.
Although one has gone abroad, the other is starting a family in China and is about to become a father.
But this is only a difference in choice, their fundamental purpose is still the same, they are all working hard for how to realize their personal value.
And just because those of them who have experienced real hardships know how to cherish their time and seize opportunities, they are not destined to do nothing.
The same applies to water clearing.
Although after returning to the city, her experience was more bumpy.
Just because he was alone with a child who was supported by his friends, his studies were interrupted, and all aspects of his life were seriously negatively affected.
But life will not completely fail a person after all, especially under the unremitting and diligent efforts of this person, it is common sense that the east is not bright and the west is bright.
No, because Shui Qing is dedicated to his work, his performance is excellent, and his achievements are remarkable.
Not only did she gain the unanimous trust and reliance of Sister Wei of the trade union and the old director of the factory office, but even the company's Youth League Committee fell in love with her, and wanted to transfer her to the Youth League Committee several times.
If it weren't for the fact that the factory didn't want to release people at all, and every time they used the excuse of personnel tension to stay, Shui Qing would have become an officer of the Youth League Committee long ago.
Of course, the factory will inevitably owe water because of this.
Therefore, in order to compensate, Sister Wei took the lead and asked the factory to put aside many activists who were waiting to join the party, and give priority to the development of Shui Qing to join the party.
This is enough to prove the sincerity of the factory to promote reuse.
Therefore, don't look at Shui Qing's position and rank for the time being, but everyone knows that it is only a matter of time. Almost everyone treats her as a middle-level cadre.
If we take into account the institutional problem, the larger the unit, the less effective the use of human resources.
Objectively, Shui Qing's current state in terms of career is better than her classmates who have obtained official university diplomas but have nothing to do every day.
Xiao Heping is also a member of the team of educated youths who are admitted to university, but his characteristic is that he almost does not eat fireworks in the world.
He has no pursuit of job title treatment. I don't have the slightest interest in finding a partner.。
He devoted almost all of his mind to painting and creation, he loved both Chinese and Western paintings, and his salary was spent on painting tools, buying albums, and watching art exhibitions.
It stands to reason that a person like him can't tolerate anything else in his heart, and it's hard to get excited about something mundane.
No, Hong Yanwu can make him so happy that he can't sleep.
It turned out that because Xu Chongya was pregnant, Hong Yanwen dispelled the idea of moving and returned the dormitory key to Hong Yanwu.
As for Hong Yanwu, seeing Xiao Heping sleeping in the studio all day long, he couldn't bear it, but he also admired his perseverance.
Thinking of friendship, he generously lent the house to him again, and he didn't even want rent.
In this way, Xiao Heping will be able to paint more freely in the future, and his living conditions will improve linearly, so can he not be beautiful?
So the gratitude in his heart is even more not.
For this reason, he not only spent half a month's salary to invite Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to have a big meal, but also gave them cigarettes and alcohol.
He also took the initiative to say that he was willing to paint a portrait of Hong Yanwu's parents as a gift.
And repeatedly promised that he would never stay on his laurels. When needed, as long as he says hello a few days in advance, he will be able to move in time.
This is called sensibility. If he wasn't such a person, then he wouldn't be worthy of Hong Yanwu's favor.
After talking about it for a while, of course, in the end, we have to go around to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
This month, the biggest gain of the two of them is that there has been a breakthrough in their relationship with "Zhang Dascoop".
Finally, I got permission to enter the kitchen while "Zhang Dascoop" was cooking.
For this, even Hua Ying said, "You two are really blessed, I didn't expect Master Zhang to make an exception this day......"
Of course, everything has a reason, and it is also gradual, and there has to be a process.
First of all, since Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan arrived in the small kitchen, relying on hardships and hard work, they have cast the eye of "Zhang Dascoop".
Don't look at "Zhang Dascoo" scolding them like others, they are all picky and scolding in eggs.
But after all, there is still a difference, their different and dedicated earnestness, but "Zhang Dascoo" knows it best in his heart.
And "Zhang Dascoop" likes people with real skills.
Just because the two of them made the "fried liver" is really delicious, they got the true legend of "Tianxingju".
He looked at them and felt that at least they were masters with skills, and they were not waste.
Secondly, "Zhang Dascoo" can also see that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan sincerely appreciate his craftsmanship.
Because if this were not the case, who would be so ecstatic to pay such an expensive price to eat one of his dishes?
And can you say things like "the art is extreme, almost like the Tao"?
To put it bluntly, this is the same as the principle of "when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent", the higher the level of the chef, the more he likes the diners who know how to appreciate.
Only in this way can we live up to our craftsmanship, otherwise it will be in vain to favor the blind and flatter.
In addition, don't look at Hong Yanwu's low-eyed and respectful attitude towards "Zhang Dascoop" on weekdays, but he dares not to "urine" the factory leaders.
His dissatisfaction with the deputy secretary is reflected in the bright side, he will do whatever he wants, and he is not afraid of confronting the leader and affecting the future.
This kind of "Sanqingzi"-like style, although it seems stupid to others, proves that Hong Yanwu is not a snob who licks the leader's buttocks, and his attention to "Zhang Dascoop" is indeed sincere.
So this also makes "Zhang Dascoop" a little appreciative and comfortable.
In short, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have the right appetite for "Zhang Dascoop" everywhere, and this may be fate.
If he hadn't died of heart and would never accept apprentices, most of them would have loosened his attitude by this time.
However, although it is not possible to officially pass on the art, once the feelings are in place, "Zhang Dascoo" treats them a little differently.
Like chatting, sometimes I'm willing to give you some tips on cooking.
Of course, he wasn't talking about delicacies from the mountains and seas, but home-cooked dishes made with the most common and cheap ingredients.
And there are words in advance. Although these methods are effective, the purpose is to be opportunistic, and it will inevitably lose the true meaning of cooking, which is not a real skill.
But having said that, the key is to see who is the person who transmits the art?
"Zhang Dascoop" has such a skill, such a temperament, and is willing to tell you, how can it not work?
And it is precisely because he just talks and doesn't practice that he is particularly trouble-free and easy to master.
Basically, you can listen to it, and it can improve the quality of life in a straight line, and it has the effect of turning decay into magic.
For example, fried peanuts are a common appetizer, but the oil temperature is not easy to master.
The average person does not make it easy to paste, and it turns black and zoom. It's just that it's unfamiliar on the outside and unfamiliar on the inside, the skin is soft, and it smells a little earthy.
"Zhang Dascoop" told Hong Yanwu that you should first pour the peanuts into a basin, drip a few drops of white vinegar, and pour water to soak. After that, it will be fried slowly on low heat, and it will be different when it is cooled before eating.
Sure enough, Hong Yanwu tried it at home, and the fried peanuts were extremely delicious.
Crispy and fragrant, the appearance is not burnt or mushy, and it is by no means comparable to the ordinary level of fried peanut kernels.
Not to mention that the family was full of praise, so I gave it to the neighbors to taste, and they all received rave reviews.
Unexpectedly, Lao Ding in the courtyard was not a taste.
I asked Hong Yanwu directly behind his back, where he learned it, and who told him.
After that, he repeatedly told him not to expand the scope of transmission.
Dare to love This is also one of his tricks of "Breaking Beanding", which is an untold secret that he relied on to make a living back then.
There is also the dish of "roasted elbow", which is indispensable on the dining table of people in Beijing.
But the most annoying part is dealing with raw elbows.
Because raw elbows have peculiar smells and hairy roots, if you really want to get rid of the odors and hairy roots, you must use the method of burning.
Generally speaking, the method of the people in Beijing is to use fire chopsticks, stuff them in the stove to burn them red first, and then carefully and slowly dispose of them.
It's for fear that the elbows will be burned, and it will make a room full of hairy smells. It's a lot of trouble.
But "Zhang Dascoop" told Hong Yanwu that there was no need to bother at all.
Let him wait for the time when he does it again at home, grab the raw elbow, turn on the gas stove, and burn it directly with the fire.
It's good to burn until the skin is all black, and there is no need to be afraid at all, because only the cuticle and hair follicles are burned, and as long as you scrub it in alkaline water, it will be clean.
Hong Yanwu remembered to relay it to his mother, and later Wang Yunlin did it once, and the result was beyond imagination.
The elbow that dares to be treated like this not only does not have any hair cones on the exposed inner skin, but also has no "coaxing" at all.
Especially when used to make elbow dishes, it has a special faint burnt aroma, and the taste is more than a step higher.
