Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine.

The imperial capital under the roots of the imperial city has never lacked dignitaries and nobles, so it has given birth to many luxurious restaurants.

Gu Cheng's reservation of the inheritance of the old store Ronghe banquet is hidden in an inconspicuous alley in the imperial capital.

Since its opening, the door of this mansion has revealed the elegance of traditional Chinese culture, and the decoration is elegant and chic, highlighting the historical characteristics.

The cuisine in the store absorbs the strengths of the eight major cuisines of China, and also absorbs the essence of dishes from all over the world, from the palace cuisine to the recipe of the dishes, and the folk snacks can be satisfied.

The guests invited to this dinner are all celebrities in the opera industry.

Han Zhongyi, as the matchmaker of this dinner, took the initiative to introduce Gu Cheng and Su Qi.

Peking Opera Mei School master Li Shengwen, Cheng School Wang Jiqiu, Kunqu Opera master Cai Liren, Henan Opera master Zhou Zhonghe, Cantonese Opera master Liu Hongfeng, Huangmei Opera master Han Fang, Qin dialect inheritor Xu Qin......

Those present are all famous actors in the opera industry.

In the past, no matter what occasion these people attended, they enjoyed the treatment of the stars and the moon and treated each other with courtesy.

But their attitude towards Gu Cheng was rare and kind.

This flattered Gu Cheng, and his attitude became more and more humble.

He raised his glass and opened his mouth generously.

"Since he came into contact with opera, Gu Cheng has admired all the teachers for a long time!"

"Today's blessing to Principal Han, Gu Cheng has prepared a thin seat here, and invites all teachers to come to the scene, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me."

Su Qi also smiled and agreed: "Yes! Recently, it has been busy, and the dinner has been delayed until now. ”

"Today, take this opportunity today, I have a cup with Gu Cheng, all the masters!"

The two sang and harmonized, just like husband and wife.

Everyone stood up and chimed in.

"You're so polite!"

"You guys are really talented and beautiful!"

"Cheers, everyone!"

……

After the toast.

Gu Cheng asked the waiter to re-order the menu.

"Teachers, I don't know what you want to eat today, so I just looked at it and ordered some signature and special dishes first."

"I don't know if there are any teachers who are taboo, why don't you look at the menu and add more?"

Su Qi also echoed: "Yes, if you have anything you want to eat, you are welcome!" ”

"Enough is enough!"

Han Zhongyi didn't expect Gu Cheng to arrange it so thoughtfully.

Almost everyone's taste is catered for!

"Gu Cheng, you have enough of this, no matter how much you have, you won't be able to eat it all!"

"It's rare for everyone to get together once, so you have to eat openly!"

Gu Cheng turned his head to look at Li Shengwen.

"Mr. Li, I remember that you don't like spicy food, and you like seafood as much as Mr. Xu, right? Why don't we add two more dishes of seasonal seafood? ”

Li Shengwen shook his head, "There are already a few seafood dishes on the table, so there is no need to order any more!" ”

"Then the teachers eat first, it's really not enough, let's add more!"

……

The food here is really good.

While Gu Cheng greeted the teachers for dinner, he did not forget to give Su Qi food.

This golden crispy hairtail fish and home-roasted yellow croaker are one of the signature dishes of Ronghe Banquet.

The hairtail fish is only taken from the middle essence, the entrance skin is golden and crispy, and after biting, it is snow-white meat, the taste is delicate and thick, and the tenderness blooms on the tip of the tongue.

The meat of the home-roasted yellow croaker is white, and the meat is made of wild yellow croaker, which is tender, and handmade rice cakes are added.

The soup is fresh, coupled with the umami of the yellow croaker itself, it becomes a taste bud bomb, and then the rice cake is dipped in the soup, which is soft and glutinous with some fresh and salty, which is simply a fairy match.

These two dishes alone made Su Qi smile when he ate it.

And like her, she likes the two dishes, and the only child in the banquet is the only one who eats happily.

Su Qi knew Tong Ling, but it was the first time he saw it.

Judging from Li Shengwen's attitude towards him, it is known that this child was cultivated as a male dan, that is, a dry dan.

"Teacher Li, this should be your legendary retreat disciple Liang Shiping, right?"

Li Shengwen nodded, "Yes!" I started late, so I took it with me to teach more. ”

Speaking of Liang Shiping.

Xu Qin sighed with jealousy and envy.

"Don't look at Shiping's young age, his acting age is not low!"

"Shiping has been learning to sing since he walked, and he was taught by Li Lao when he was a child, and he is the future successor of the Mei faction!"

Li Shengwen does not want Liang Shiping to be influenced by the outside world.

Mei Pai finally found a good seedling with high talent, he only hopes that he will practice well and not be ruined by the world of flowers!

So in the face of Xu Qin's killing, Li Shengwen only modestly resolved.

"Shiping is less than eight years old, and he hasn't experienced the collapse yet, and he is still a Qinghai-Tibet Railway away from Chengjiaoer, far away!"

Liang Shiping's expression was very calm, looking like a little adult.

Su Qi looked very interesting, and said with a little curiosity: "Shiping, are you still studying now?" ”

"Naturally, I want to read."

Liang Shiping nodded, and said crisply: "The master said that literary and artistic workers are compared to culture, and if you want to become famous and talented, you have to learn how to do it." ”

The crowd was amused with laughter.

The atmosphere of the meal was suddenly much more joyful.

Between meals, Gu Cheng kept looking at these opera seniors.

Although these artists are old, the whole process is like a spring breeze, not far away, not near, not powerful or cheap, with their own temperament.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but think of Jiu Ye.

The first time he met Jiu Ye, he learned about it from the news.

Gu Cheng was young at the time, and he only remembered that it was said on the news that Jiu Ye often performed overseas to promote opera culture, and when he came back from performing in Italy, the love letters he received were all packed in postal bags and sacks.

When he grew up, he knew what Jiu Ye meant to the Peking Opera and opera world.

As a junior, he didn't dare to judge these seniors, at most he could only look up at the mountains and miss the passing water.

Different fields have different flag needs.

The rigorous and virtuous family style of the two generations of the Mei family has erected a spiritual banner for Peking Opera.

And the artists present in front of him are not the spiritual banner of the opera industry.

It is their existence that prolongs the life of the traditional cultural art of opera, which is more important than the simple inheritance of art.

After three rounds of drinking.

The crowd began to chat.

Xu Qin looked at Gu Cheng with admiration.

"The lyrics of your song "The Goddess Splitting Views" are really well written!"

"Especially that sentence, Qu Gao may not be unknown to anyone, he has his own bosom friend and clear words!"

"Nowadays, people have only heard opera in general, but they don't have much of a concept."

"And you used a song "The Goddess Splitting the View" to let the audience understand the difference between northern and southern operas and the characteristics of different operas, which is really terrifying!"

Gu Cheng smiled and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Opera is the culmination of traditional Chinese culture and customs, and it is a concentrated embodiment of the Chinese national spirit and people's life style. ”

"The opera has cast China's traditional music, dance, art, literature, martial arts, acrobatics, history and other categories, and embodies the unique life emotions and moral sentiments of the Chinese nation."

"The revitalization of opera art is also an important part of traditional culture and art, and it is incumbent on us as a Chinese person!"

"If only every young person in China had such an awareness!"

Han Zhongyi said with a heartache.

"A while ago, I counted and found that in just half a century, there are hundreds of dramas that have not been passed down, and the rate of loss is amazingly fast, and in some areas, there will even be an average of one drama every two or three years."

Su Qi's pupils were shocked, and he couldn't help frowning: "Are there so many?" ”

"The Liyuan opera is almost extinct, the city drama is difficult to continue, and the opera is rarely heard. is the current cruel status quo of opera! ”

"The big drama genre is still faltering, and the small drama genre is even more difficult."

Han Zhongyi sighed silently.

"In addition, the phenomenon of brain drain and fault lines is becoming increasingly severe, and there are still some opera genres that are on the verge of extinction, lack of personnel and funds for rescue, and the scattered materials of the people are gradually facing loss."

"Therefore, according to the current development status of opera art, the most important thing is how to better promote the art of opera."

"Do you have any good advice on this?"
