Chapter 260: Favor Investment
Although Chen Xiaoxu, the daughter-in-law, has a lot of small problems, sometimes a few words can make Gu Bei half angry, but there is one thing that is particularly good.
No matter how big the matter is, a good meal can solve it.
What's more, I was in a good mood today, I won the second prize in the fashion design competition, and with a hot pot, the joy value was directly doubled.
Although that competition was a straw chicken in Gu Bei's eyes.
The broth is churning in the copper hot pot, the mutton is put into the pot, and a few side dishes are put on it, and of course, the Erba sauce of the shabu-shabu in the old capital is indispensable, and the taste is simply amazing.
"Delicious!"
Chen Xiaoxu smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and his chopsticks kept pulling in the copper hot pot.
They came to an old restaurant in the alley, and the self-fighting policy is becoming more and more relaxed, and these time-honored brands that have been hidden for many years have also reappeared.
People say that the food in the capital is hidden in the hutongs, and this is not wrong at all.
Those who open shops on the street, although the signboard is loud, can't help the baptism of time.
Take roast duck as an example, a certain virtue has begun to fool at the moment, and the things made are becoming more and more incompatible with the word "authentic".
Just like a certain steamed bun shop in Jinmen, the price is getting more and more expensive, and the things are getting more and more unpalatable, and they are not even as fragrant as the big buns in the dog food restaurant.
It's a small shop, with six tables in two rows, all against the wall, and the space is a bit cramped.
Just in time for the meal, the water vapor rose in the copper hot pot, and it was like a fairyland for a while.
Gu Bei couldn't help but think of the days when he filmed "Journey to the West" in the CCTV No. 1 studio hall and put dry ice. 33
I don't know what happened to Lao Li, who was choked back then?
After filming "Journey to the West", the old man will retire, and he should be at home at this time, enjoying the happiness of his children and grandchildren around his knees!
"Boss, another plate of cucumber strips."
"Okay!"
The boss, wearing a Muslim hat, answered, turned around and went into the kitchen, and soon came out with a plate of freshly cut mutton.
Just look at the knife work and know that it is ancestral.
Although Gu Bei can't cook, he is very good at eating, whether the mutton is good or not, just stand up the plate and know it, and if it can stick to the plate without falling off, it proves that it is fresh.
Of course, people can't afford to use freezers these days.
"Boss, add a plate of brains."
Chen Xiaoxu also raised his hand, which was obviously happy.
"Daughter-in-law, it's all nine plates, can you still eat?"
Chen Xiaoxu rolled his eyes, too lazy to take care of Gu Bei.
As soon as he came in just now, Chen Xiaoxu was recognized by many diners, fortunately, there was no illegitimate meal in this year, everyone just greeted each other in a friendly manner, and the chat at the adjacent table was definitely not too disturbing, and the quality was extremely high.
Unlike later, celebrities don't hide their heads, and they never dare to go out.
Everywhere you go, you can hug each other, and if you eat a hot dog, you can be uploaded to the Internet and made into an emoji.
While eating, the curtain of the cotton door was opened, and a cool breeze blew in.
"Yo! It's full! β
The visitor looked around and saw that the six tables were occupied, and his tone was a little regretful.
Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have found something, and walked straight towards Gu Bei's table.
"Teacher Gu!"
Belch?
Gu Bei raised his head when he heard this, and was slightly stunned when he saw someone coming, and then smiled.
"Feng ......"
The visitor also laughed: "It's me, you still remember me!" β
Feng pants!
That highly recognizable face was run over by the donkey cart, and Gu Bei could also recognize it.
When I took Chen Xiaoxu to Gui Street, I met Ma Weidu, Wang Shuo and others, and I also saw Feng Pants.
It's still the slightly obscene and unlucky appearance, and there is a woman by his side, a little taller than Feng's pants.
"This is my daughter-in-law Zhang Di."
Gu Bei knew that he would become his ex-wife in more than ten years, and then Feng Pants married Xu Fan, a famous Da Qingyi in the circle, which can be regarded as a complete class leap.
"Hello!"
Gu Bei said hello and introduced Chen Xiaoxu to the two of them.
This step is obviously a bit redundant, how can anyone in the whole country not know Lin Daiyu.
Zhang Di was obviously a little excited, and when he greeted Chen Xiaoxu, his voice was trembling.
"There's nowhere to go, let's go together!"
Chen Xiaoxu took the initiative to send out an invitation, and when he heard the tone, he knew that he was not polite, if he was polite, he would say "together", with an inquiry, he would naturally not bother.
Chen Xiaoxu still had the coolness of a Northeast girl in his bones, and he started directly as he spoke, pulling Zhang Di to sit next to her.
Feng Pants hesitated for a moment and sat down next to Gu Bei.
Gu Bei raised his hand, called the boss over, and ordered the menu on the wall again.
"Have a drink?"
"Then drink some!"
"Boss, another bottle of Erguotou."
The weather was cold, and I should have drunk some chrysanthemum white to warm my stomach, but unfortunately there was no one in this store.
The old people in Beijing have to drink Erguotou, Moutai, Wuliangye or something, all of which are placed in the wine cabinet and flushed the faΓ§ade.
Haven't you heard Master Jiang's words?
Erguotou, drank the courage, Miss Qiu was not afraid to call.
Chen Xiaoxu didn't drink it just now, he just ate it, and when he saw the liquor on the table, he also handed over the cup.
There is no simple woman who dares to serve a glass at the wine table.
Feng Pants is really good at talking, and he smiled and praised two sentences, and said that Chen Xiaoxu was also laughing.
"On the hour!"
Gu Bei raised the cup, and the other three responded one after another, Zhang Di is a nurse who usually never drinks alcohol, and when he saw his idol today, he made an exception.
Ha......
Looking at Feng Pants taking a sip of wine, grinning his teeth, Gu Bei felt uncomfortable.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with lately? Listening to Lao Ma, you went to the TV drama production center in Beijing and Taiwan? β
Gu Bei and Ma Weidu can often see each other, and the old horse brings two things from time to time, and comes over to let Gu Bei help Changyan, and sometimes when he can't take it, he will introduce it to Gu Bei.
Over the years, Gu Bei has saved a lot of good things in a small courtyard in Chaoyang, thanks to Ma Weidu.
"Hey, foolish, I'm just an artist, and I can't compare with the group."
When Feng Pants spoke, his tone was full of envy.
Gu Bei is definitely the ceiling in the artist team, a newcomer who has just entered the industry, his first work, can actually be mixed with the second-in-command of the crew, it is said that the artist develops across industries, even if he is a professional director and management, I am afraid that without more than ten years of accumulation, he will not be able to be as clear as Gu Bei.
Feng Pants was originally a cultural and sports officer in the trade union of the Urban Construction and Development Corporation in Beijing, and later was introduced to the Beijing and Taiwan TV Drama Production Center, and because he had a painting foundation, he was arranged to work as an artist.
Compared with his ideals, it can be regarded as a big leap.
Gu Bei knew that this guy had always wanted to mix in the cultural circle, so he was willing to be a horse boy for Wang Shuo, serving him before and after the saddle.
He also said the sentence: Look up and see the Big Dipper.
suddenly said that Wang Shuo was beautiful.
Later, people knew that Feng Pants could mix well in the Chinese film industry, ranking among the top three, relying on talent and connections, but in the early days, if there was no support from Wang Shuo, a nobleman, who would know who he was!
In this regard, Gu Bei has no contempt at all, he has a clear goal, and he does not hesitate to press himself into the mud in order to achieve it, this determination is worthy of admiration.
"Teacher Gu, what have you been busy with lately?"
When he spoke, Feng pants had a little hope in his tone.
"Me? The stage is preparing for the next play, and I may have to follow it then. β
Hearing this, Feng Pants fumbled with the wine glass, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You...... If it's convenient, can you bring me one!? β
Belch?
Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How can you bring this?" You are from Beijing and Taiwan, I am from CCTV, let's ......"
Although CCTV is the main station, because they are both in the capital, the two are more or less competitive.
Feng Pants has a formal establishment in Jingtai, and even if Gu Bei wants to borrow someone, I'm afraid it is not very convenient.
"I usually don't have anything to do in our unit, if you open your mouth, our director will definitely release you."
Gu Bei originally thought that Feng Pants was just talking casually, but he didn't expect it to be serious.
Speaking of which, it can really work.
Looking for someone to borrow from Jingtai, you can let Ruan Ruolin come forward, and the old lady's face must be given over there.
When Beijing and Taiwan filmed "Plainclothes Police", director Lin Ruwei borrowed it from CCTV.
Favor debt is not okay.
Moreover, this can be regarded as a good relationship with Feng Pants.
"Okay, after this matter is officially established, I will ask Director Ruan to greet you there."
Feng Pants listened, although he didn't know if Gu Bei was perfunctory, he was still very happy.
He was so desperate for an opportunity.
When he was able to enter the TV drama production center in Beijing and Taiwan, he was so excited that he couldn't do it, but after he really went, he found that the reality was far from as good as he thought.
Everywhere pays attention to seniority, like him, his ability is average, he has no background, and he looks stumbling, and he has not been welcomed in the center.
Although he has the title of an artist, he has always done a crushed job in the crew, and he is so humble that he can't do it.
He just had the courage to try it just now, after all, he was not familiar with Gu Bei, he had only met him once before, but he never expected that Gu Bei would be able to agree.
"Gotcha! Teacher Gu, I thank you for borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and I salute you for this glass of wine. β
Feng Pants got up as he spoke, and touched Gu Bei respectfully.
The meal was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, and when Feng pants left, both legs were weak, and Zhang Di hugged him to say goodbye to Gu Bei and his wife.
"You...... Think he's also a talent? β
Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu walked home, the two of them drank a lot just now, and now the wind stopped, and they just walked to sober up.
"Who? Lao Feng? He...... Sort of! β
Feng Pants is a geek among many well-known directors in the film industry, when others are still pursuing art and have no regrets, people have already begun to think about how to make money from movies and take the road of commercialization.
This vision alone is worthy of Gu Bei's investment in favors.
"He ......"
"Don't mention him, let's go faster."
Chen Xiaoxu was stunned: "I just ate enough, why do you go so fast?" β
Gu Bei looked at Chen Xiaoxu with blazing eyes: "I want to get drunk and mess ......"
Chen Xiaoxu directly slapped Gu Bei's mouth and blocked the keyword back.
"You...... Stinky rascals! β
Some people died, but not completely......
