Chapter 137: Brotherhood
Cao Ping prepared all the quick frying, the materials are relatively simple, but it is more troublesome to wash the pot, call Xue Zhiqian back to help wash the pot, Cao Ping used another pot to continue to fry the next dish, almost Xue Zhiqian just washed the pot, Cao Ping fried the dishes and changed the pot, and the efficiency was indeed greatly improved, and after a while, the dishes were placed on a full table.

Several people sat around the dining table, looking at the various delicacies on the table, Li Xian raised his head and said in surprise: "Master Ping, brother, I only know that your kimchi is delicious, but I didn't expect you to cook so many dishes! What are these dishes?"
Cao Ping smiled and introduced them one by one: "Red plum beads, Hunan cuisine, Li Xian you should eat the habit, is to boil the pigeon eggs, peel the shell and remove the yellow, fill in the thin ham, sea rice, mushrooms, dried scallops and other finely chopped together, steam in the upper drawer, and then simmer with chicken soup to taste, hook the sauce and put the outer ring of the flat plate, this head is the minced ham, this head is the green pea grains: the shrimp shell and remove the shrimp line, fry it with fifty percent hot lard until it is fully cooked, become bead-shaped, boil it with tomato paste, salt, wine, sugar, stock, etc., thicken it, drizzle it with sesame oil, the taste is fresh and fragrant, refreshing and palatable...... By the time the subsequent Buddha's hand gold rolls, steamed eight-treasure duck, osmanthus fish sticks, scallion fried beef tenderloin, and chrysanthemum loin were introduced one by one, the table was already in a mess.
Seeing that the dishes were almost gone, Cao Ping hurriedly stopped, picked up chopsticks and grabbed the vegetables to eat, otherwise he would be exhausted by these masters after a while, and after a busy day, Cao Ping didn't want to sleep on an empty stomach.
Although Cao Ping and Zhang Yishan ate in the cafeteria at school, they had tasted the kimchi made by Cao Ping, but Xue Zhiqian had never tasted it at all, and was shocked by Cao Ping's craftsmanship, and couldn't help but admire: "Oh my God! Cao Ping! With your craft, what kind of chef do you invite?"
Cao Ping snatched a piece of beef tenderloin from under Hong Yang's chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, while saying, "Where am I busy coming here alone?"
"No need!" Hong Yang waved his chopsticks and said: "As far as Pingye's craftsmanship is concerned, we will supply it in limited quantities, and a dish will sell him for a few hundred yuan, and we will also play a hunger marketing ......."
Zhang Yishan stepped on him under the table, stopped him from talking, and pretended to joke and said: "What? Does Ping Ye look like the master of the kitchen? People are going to be action superstars in the future!" Saying that, he glanced at Hong Yang, but Hong Yang didn't react, and said suspiciously: "Didn't Ping Ye terminate the contract with the emperor......?"
Seeing that they looked at each other and didn't speak, Cao Ping smiled suspiciously: "What? Which dish is not to the taste? Just to give an opinion, I will fine-tune it according to the local taste." β
Hong Yang reacted at this time, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry! Cao Ping, I can't talk more than my brain, don't take it to heart." β
Cao Ping's chopsticks paused, glanced at them, smiled, put down the chopsticks and said: "This matter is over, I didn't want to mention it again, but you said it, I'll just talk about it!"
Cao Ping raised his head and said: "Actually, I had this idea a long time ago, I was brought into this circle by Jackie Chan, but after I came in, I realized that this circle was more complicated than I imagined." β
Cao Ping rubbed his fingers against the edge of the bowl, frowning and thinking, as if thinking about what he could say and what he couldn't say, he raised his eyes and smiled: "Yishan, you have also made movies, and you know more about the things in this circle than I do, so I just talk about my opinions! I have been in the circle for more than half a year, although I have only entered the two groups of "The Grandmaster" and "Embroidered Spring Knife", but I can see some problems. The film industry, in my opinion, is still a relatively barbaric place, there are no rules, occupy the mountain as the king, sit on the ground and share the spoils, of course, the words are not good, but the truth is like this, Zhang Yishan, what I said is right?"
Zhang Yishan grinned and said, "Hey!
Cao Ping nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe it's right! After all, I did this business as soon as I came out, and I don't know much about other industries." Anyway, I think the film industry is more like our martial arts circle, with many sects and complicated relationships, the only thing in common is that it is the most common thing to survive in a group, the seniors promote the juniors, and the seniority is the most common thing. β
Haha smiled, Cao Ping said: "Of course, I'm not saying that I'm in a hurry, it's just that there are my personal reasons in it, and I can't wait for such a step-by-step climb." β
Zhang Yishan also took it seriously and said: "However, with Jackie Chan's big brother covering, it is the safest and safest way? It is much faster than ordinary people! What can't we wait? Do we have to rush this time?"
Cao Ping was silent, the powerlessness of the body to hit the tip of the stabbing knife came to his heart again, Xiao Fang's injury made Cao Ping realize that there is still a big gap between his skills and the top masters, that Japanese stabbing ninja, when he first met in Hengdian, he didn't have the talent to practice, and he couldn't even take a move, fortunately, the stabbing task was in his body, and he immediately escaped after a blow, and he didn't care about himself, so he left a life. Assassination ninja master heavy assassination, head-to-head ability is less than one-tenth of the assassination ability, this time at high speed, he even took out the last hole card, but he is not his opponent, not to mention the bald man who easily rounded and flattened him, that hand is out of the clothes eighteen falls, Cao Ping believes that if he goes up by himself, people don't have to do it, Cao Ping himself can fall to death, this skill, how to talk about revenge?
He more or less guessed the identity of the bald man, Buddhist kung fu, and the relationship with the police, most of them were from the legendary Third Bureau. Seeing that he was no more than thirty-five years old, he already had this terrifying kung fu, which somewhat hit Cao Ping. Cao Ping realized that there would never be a chance for revenge if he practiced the exercises step by step, and according to the current progress, when he reached his grandfather's age, he might not have the skills of his grandfather, so how could he take revenge? I am afraid that the enemy will die of old age by then! I need money now, I need a lot of money, and I want to be fast, the natural treasure that helps the growth of power is not a bargain that can be bought casually, as he is gradually exposed to the public, the enemy will come to the door at any time, with his current skills, if he doesn't want to wash his neck and wait for death, use that method as the last way.
"Cao Ping?" Zhang Yishan exclaimed suspiciously.
Cao Ping came back to his senses, smiled, and said: "It's nothing, I just thought that Xiao Fang made a joke with me before the accident and asked me if I was the illegitimate son of Jackie Chan and why he praised me so much." I admit 100% that Brother Jackie Chan is my benefactor, and I can have today, and he is inseparable, but his light is so dazzling that I have some doubts, is my work really that good? It won't be that everyone looks at Jackie Chan's face and perfunctory me, right? haha!"
Cao Ping laughed self-deprecatingly: "Just like Hong Yang just said, you must also feel a little bit that if I leave the Emperor, it is equivalent to losing the qualifications to enter the circle, right?"
Hong Yang just wanted to deny it, but Zhang Yishan opened his mouth and said directly: "Pingzi, we are brothers, so I won't tell you those scenes, to be honest, my brother does think that your decision is a little hasty, you are so good, it is indeed a pity." β
Cao Ping nodded, not surprised, and said: "You think like this, I also understand, including myself sometimes wonder, is this decision wrong? In fact, since Xue Zhiqian came to Beijing, I have already figured out that I have to earn my own life, and I can't always think about relying on others. You just met, he is a friend I met in Shanghai, he is a singer, although he is out of breath now. β
"Hey, I'm getting hot again now, okay!" Xue Zhiqian smiled.
Cao Ping nodded with a smile and said: "When he was the poorest, he never gave up music, everything he did was for music, I am not as good as him, but my love for movies is not lower than him." β
After a pause, Cao Ping continued: "I temporarily withdrew because I found that I was not able to become the person I expected to become, and I was even a little ashamed of Jackie Chan's expectations of me. Do you know? At the beginning, Jackie Chan flew to Hengdian to find me and told me that I would become the next Bruce Lee, whether he was serious or not, but I believed it, and I also worked hard in this direction, but after all, this road still has to be walked by myself, Jackie Chan is not my nanny, and he can't carry me forward. Iron also needs its own hardness, if you want to reach that height, I still lack a lot, first of all, a team of my own is a must, it takes time, spends money, and I don't have these, so I have to be as soon as possible, I can't wait for Jackie Chan to feed me, in that way, I will look down on myself. β
Zhang Yishan nodded, this is the first time Cao Ping told him these things from the bottom of his heart after returning from Chifeng, to be honest, when Cao Ping said that he was going to drop out of school and move out, he was somewhat disappointed, after all, they slept in a dormitory for half a year, creating a myth of a male dormitory 242, and there are still feelings, and, as the senior brother of the performance department, Zhang Yishan still admires Cao Ping very much, and when he learned that he terminated the contract with the emperor so hastily, he felt a little bit of hatred in his heart, and stopped him at that time, because he was afraid that he would be discouraged and return to his hometownγ He would rather pay his own money to keep Cao Ping in Beijing, relying on the fact that he and Jackie Chan filmed "Looking for Jackie Chan", licking his face and begging his eldest brother, maybe there will be a slight turn for the better. However, hearing Cao Ping's words today, Zhang Yishan still unraveled the knot in his heart, Cao Ping can say this, which means that their friendship of 242 is still there, and they also recognize their three brothers, which is more important than anything else, Zhang Yishan got up and took out a cold beer from the refrigerator, opened it and raised the bottle to Cao Ping and said: " If you can say that, the brothers will be much more relieved, we are just afraid that you will be discouraged and want to quit the entertainment industry, but since you have your own ideas, the brothers will fully support you, only one point, you remember, no matter what happens, with brothers, it will not matter!"
Cao Ping smiled and raised the bottle and said, "Yes! Five words floated in the sky, that's not a problem!"
Hong Yang also smiled and raised the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "If it's a matter, it's annoying for a while, and it's over in a while!"
Li Xian smiled: "Ah! It's quite rhyming!"
Even Xue Zhiqian picked up the wine glass and said, "I can't drink it, but I have to drink this glass of wine, brother respect!"
"Brother respect!" the five bottles collided together, making a crisp sound, like a brotherhood without the slightest impurity.
