Background:

It happened at the Huige barbecue restaurant at the entrance of an urban village on the edge of an international metropolis.

Two kilometers to the north, new buildings are brightly lit by high-tech companies. One kilometer to the south, the façade of the XX Villa community, which has only been delivered for three years, is still brand new. On the leaflet issued by the intermediary, the house price has risen from 60,000 square meters to 81,000 square meters.

The neighborhood is heavily guarded, but through the walls, you will find that the greenery of the neighborhood is getting better and better every year. 1.5 kilometers to the east, is a subway station and a commercial complex. There was also a tidal crowd of people, all with the same face at nine o'clock in the morning.

Protagonist: Brother Hui.

Dressed: Wearing a military coat in winter and a gray vest in summer, Brother Hui's right leg is lame, and it seems that the center of gravity is a little unbalanced, and no one knows why he is lame.

There's also a supporting guy in a supporting role.

The lad was nimble, but equally taciturn.

Barbecue restaurant environment:

The ground floor room is small, with four tables on the street outside, selling barbecue and some cold dishes in the evening, and in late autumn and winter, it is changed to wontons, mixed sauce noodles and bean juice that the old Yanjing people like to eat.

The standard configuration of the late-night canteen is a special canteen that is open from 10 a.m. to 7 a.m., with a quiet owner and a few regular diners.

First to appear: a stray dog.

Strings, yellow hair mixed with black, medium height, neither fat nor thin, neither disabled nor miserable, single figure. He never begs for food, and he also knows how to avoid urban management.

The old wild dog was originally raised by the mother-in-law of a nearby breakfast stall, and the mother-in-law was colorblind and looked at everything white, so he was called the dog Xiaobai. Later, the mother-in-law was thrown down by the stall and died not long after, leaving Xiaobai to occupy a place for her every night.

It's a pity that his master never came again.

The second character: Chengguan Lao Yang, who is almost fifty years old, wears a washed and somewhat old uniform, is thin and thin, and his hair is a little white.

Chengguan Lao Yang also often comes, loves to eat chicken skin and baked gluten, and can drink snowflakes to sweep the street on the street.

Lao Yang took the initiative to work the night shift, and two years ago, when he found that he couldn't get off the third road, he began to work the night shift all the time.

When he gets off work, he comes to eat and drink, sometimes with colleagues and friends, sometimes by himself. He only drank more than once, and that day his son came to pick him up, and it sounded as if he had died in a nursing home.

After that time, Lao Luo's son Xiao Luo also came back from time to time. He is a planner of an advertising company, working overtime every day to make PPTs, taking a salary of less than five figures after tax deductions, and worrying about those billions of projects.

I don't know why, but his drinking buddies are all men. Xiao Luo once let the person at the next table beat him, because he drank too much and liked to learn Hong Kong films and speak Cantonese, and the big brother next to him thought he was a waste of Xiangjiang.

The last character: a Yanjing old cannon, a retired BJ old cannon for many years, suddenly found that the rivers and lakes have changed, the righteousness of the rivers and lakes has made way for interest disputes, and the brotherhood has avoided being promoted and making a fortune, so he simply accepted the burden, retired to the market, walked the birds every day, and took a look at the small shop.

Mingguang looked carefully.

"Husband, the characters are interesting, there are all kinds of people.

"It's meant to write the stories of ordinary people." Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "This is the only way to be grounded." ”

"Hmm"

Mingmei nodded.

"I haven't started writing the plot yet."

"Aren't you thinking about it, I'm going to write it as a series, the plot doesn't have to be too long, and I complete a story in two or three episodes." Yu Dongqing explained.

"Have you thought of one?" Mingmei asked again.

"Yes, but it's immature."

"Tell me about it." Mingmei in a coquettish tone.

"Okay." Yu Dongqing told a complete story: "I will tell the story of this Yanjing old cannon." ”

When Lao Pao'er appeared in the late-night cafeteria, it was about to close at six o'clock the next day, and in the early morning, he was carrying a birdcage and draped his clothes over his shoulders.

Brother Hui glanced at it and teased, "Everyone else is here for my Manchu and Han banquets, no matter how bad it is, it's a home-cooked meal, you can do it, just like my bean juice." ”

After the fermented soybean juice is boiled, the remaining soy milk is added with a spoon in batches, and each time it is added, it must be boiled and then added a second time. Bring up a few soaked hot bean juices, put two "burnt rings", and a plate of very finely cut mustard gnocchi with chili oil.

Lao Pao'er sighed with satisfaction, "After drinking this, the day has begun!" ”

Lao Pao'er rarely appears in the middle of the night, except for that time, his son got into trouble and offended the second generation of officials with more background and background, Lao Pao'er went alone to ride a bicycle and fight alone, wave after wave, accidentally involved in a huge political conspiracy, and inadvertently got hold of a huge check remitted abroad.

Everyone persuaded to call the police in time, you are old, don't get involved in this matter, Lao Pao'er insisted on not calling the police, and decided to solve it in Lao Pao'er's way, and made an appointment to fight alone at the ice rink in Houhai. called some brothers who were fighting together back then, and had a barbecue in the late-night cafeteria.

Brother Hui is also particular, and personally went out to barbecue the mutton skewers and lamb kidneys on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant, and deliberately put a little cumin that Lao Cannon likes to eat.

When Brother Hui came out, he only saw this group of forty or fifty-year-old old men expressing their attitudes one after another, "Sixth brother, I'll go!" "A stubborn and lonely force.

In the morning light, Lao Pao'er rode his bicycle and went there, and Brother Hui only saw Lao Pao'er throw a roll of things on the balcony of Da Sa Mi and rode away.

After that group fight on the shore of Houhai, Brother Hui never saw Lao Pao'er again, only his son began to sneak in the birdcage early in the morning to drink bean juice.

"Husband, your story can actually be written into a movie." Mingmei said.

Oh, yes

In fact, this is the original "Lao Paoer" filmed by Feng Xiaogang in that time and space, Yu Dongqing thought it was very interesting, and made a simplified version.

"However, husband, your story is a bit too social to be placed at the front of the series." Mingmei reminded again.

"I'm going to put it in the last unit drama." Mingmei said with a smile: "By the way, point out the story of Brother Hui." ”

"The boss has a story too?"

"Who in this world doesn't have a story?" Yu Dongqing laughed.

He slowly took a sip of tea and said: "This boss is actually a brother of Lao Pao, N years ago, he was lame when he helped Lao Pao fight on the rivers and lakes, so he quit the rivers and lakes and opened this barbecue restaurant." ”

"This time, Lao Pao didn't call him if he had something, and he didn't take the initiative to go, after all, there are old and young, and his son will get married soon, and he doesn't want to cause trouble."

But then Lao Pao'er died, he decided to solve this problem in his own way, made the last barbecue that night, looked at the lights in the XX Villa not far away, closed the door early and left quietly.

"After that, no one saw this boss, and his Hui Ge barbecue restaurant was closed for a few days and finally opened, but the boss was replaced by a young man - the boss's son, who smiled and barbecued the old regulars - the whole play ended."
