attack stream of life

Recently, it seems that a new game production company has moved in. Every day after ten o'clock, a group of customers will come. They are in a hurry, and they have to continue to work after filling their stomachs. It seems that staying up late and working overtime is a common thing.

"Young people nowadays are really tired. The fatigue can be seen on the face. Compared with physical strength, mental fatigue may be more serious. Especially the employees of game companies, it is said that it has become a social problem. Many of them died suddenly at a young age. Life is too difficult, and the elders should be more considerate of these young people."

"It's true. I often see a group of tired young people these days. Are they all employees of the game production company?"

"It's not just game companies. There are other companies that have moved in." A customer said, "Just across from us, there is a 52-story office building. Someone finally came in a few days ago. A famous entertainment company settled in, There are record companies and game production companies under its umbrella. There is a team of security guards standing at the door, looking very mighty."

"It's Dingfeng Entertainment, no wonder the rent has risen so much recently. It's strange why you come to a third-tier city like ours. Whether it's convenient transportation or other things, you should find a first-tier city."

"If it's a first-tier city, such a building would cost hundreds of millions, but here it only costs 4000 to [-] million. The difference is huge. Moreover, Guli was originally an ancient town, and there are three film and television bases nearby, so it's very convenient for filming."

"That's right. I sometimes meet dream chasers waiting for opportunities there. Groups of people stand there, whether it's windy or rainy. It's really persistent."

The guests joined the discussion one after another, discussing the current situation of Guli and guessing the possible future.

The entry of one of the top entertainment groups in China is really a big event for the local residents. It has brought a lot of job opportunities and new things, and also introduced many customs and characteristics of big cities, such as young people who are in a hurry and look tired.

Qing Chuan thought that the mansion was two streets away from his tavern, no wonder there were more young and new customers recently.I don't know what the impact will be in the future.

His area is an old commercial area, all of which were rebuilt from the original Ming Dynasty houses. There are two-story brick and tile buildings on both sides of the street, and there are still one-meter-wide eaves and two red-painted pillars. The modern city outside is like two time and space.

Most of the business in this street is cloth and clothing business, probably because the local area has grown mulberry and silkworms since ancient times and is rich in silk fabrics.It used to be called Silk Street, but now that a larger and more comprehensive cloth market has been built, it has not fallen and has become an 'old street'.

They are all open during the day and close at seven or eight in the evening, but the tavern is open from the afternoon to the night. His tavern is quite abrupt here.

Everyone finds it incredible that such an abrupt tavern can attract the favor of white-collar workers in modern commercial streets other than the old street.

Qingchuan never even distributed leaflets or advertised, but diners wandering outside, like zombies smelling meat, drifted here one after another smelling the smell, waiting in line for food.

Careful people calculate carefully, even if they use the best ingredients, they can earn this amount in a month, five to sixty thousand. In a third-tier city like this, many people's annual salary is no more than that.

I still feel uncomfortable working for others, unlike the freedom of owning a shop.

I don't know how many people around here looked jealous, inquired openly and secretly, and even secretly brought vegetable soup to test, hoping to find out if there were any contraband in it.

"Of course it's because it's delicious. It's delicious in color and fragrance, and it's beautifully arranged. After taking pictures, it's like a work of art. It explodes your circle of friends in minutes." The fashionable woman took photos of the dishes from several angles with her mobile phone with exquisite decals I reluctantly set down my chopsticks.

"It feels like I bought a first-tier international brand at the price of a third-tier domestic brand, which is great value. The most important thing is that the little boss is very handsome, my favorite little tender grass, I can eat two more bowls of white rice just looking at him hahaha Ha ha."

Another girl who looked very quiet with glasses said so.

"Things are made with care, whether it is the ingredients themselves or the production, there is no sloppy and willful. In addition, most of the dishes that are launched are seasonal, and they are also in line with the needs of the seasons, and they are very considerate of the diners. How should I put it, there is a kind of gentle treatment I'm afraid my girlfriend will misunderstand this sentence."

The young man rubbed his ears in embarrassment, but couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the camera.

"Me, the reason why I care about it every day... well, it's probably the sense of anticipation. Because there are different dishes launched every day, which is very mysterious and very exciting. The little boss has never lived up to our expectations. Every dish It’s all great, and you can feel that it’s very hard work. Even in five-star restaurants, it’s hard to eat such thoughtful dishes, and the little boss’s craftsmanship is at least at the level of a chef.”

The middle-aged man who seemed to have a successful career said with a smile: "It seems a bit selfish to say so, but I still hope that the little boss will continue to open a tavern here, and the dishes will always maintain this level."

"The reason? I like his wine. You'll know it once you drink it. It's worth traveling thousands of miles to have a drink." The bold drinker raised his glass to the camera.

"Well, probably because the boss is a good person. Haha, I trust him, eat here, don't worry about anything else, don't worry."

"Well, it was recommended by my boyfriend. This is the most reliable thing he has done this year. Hehehehe..."

Those who are interested think about it, the ingredients are easy to handle, and the worst is to spend more money, but the craftsmanship is hard to find, and they must be good-looking, gentle and considerate.Anyone who has this ability can go directly to a big restaurant to be the chef and be paid for. The work is easy and the money is quick.

There are two most loyal creatures in this world, one is a foodie, go where it tastes good, and the other is a beauty control, whoever looks good will go there.

Hey, I can only watch the other party's business boom.

"Even such a third-tier city in the Central Plains is so spacious." An old man in a traditional Japanese kimono stood at the corner of the street. The blue kimono didn't have any creases, it was clean and tidy as if it was newly bought, but the color looked like an old one.

Standing next to the old man was a young man, wearing a three-piece suit, with some worries on his face, "Mr. Fujita, I heard that the traffic situation here is worrying, and there are many problems with social security. We are not familiar with the place here, you really shouldn't Run out alone. Ms. Shizuka will be very worried."

"Why are you more rigid than I am? Moreover, the invasion of black forces is prohibited here. Even if there are girls walking alone on the street at midnight, what do I have to be afraid of as an old man? The last time I came to China was more than 20 years ago. Changes It’s really big, even such a small county is so developed.”

"What's so good here? There's no order between seniors and juniors. Ms. Shizuka married an unknown director." There was a deep jealousy in the young man's eyes.

The old man seemed to see his thoughts, "Shizuka is different from her mother and grandmother. She doesn't want to put all her heart and energy into the family. She wants to have her own career and her own life circle. As a grandfather, I respect Her opinion is based on Shizuka's own wishes."

Now that this exotic love has been approved by the elders, the young man can only swallow his unwillingness, "Anyway, let's act together after the bodyguards come over."

"Don't mobilize the crowd."

"You are our national treasure master."

"I'm here to attend my granddaughter's wedding this time. I'm not a master, just an ordinary grandpa. You're too nervous." The old man took out a note and squinted his eyes carefully for a while, "The one recommended by Shizuka The restaurant is nearby. Let's go and see what the restaurant that she strongly recommends is like."

The address on the note was very detailed, so it took a quarter of an hour to find the tavern.

Now is the busiest time of business. There is a long queue outside the tavern. The people waiting are very patient, chatting or holding mobile phones to pass the time. Although I noticed an old man in a kimono, it was nothing. Too much reaction, nothing is as big as eating at this time.

"Mr. Fujita, there are too many people. I'm afraid we will have to wait for a long time. Let's go eat elsewhere. There is a famous restaurant not far from here." The young man looked at the long queue and frowned.

"Be patient." The old man shook his head and walked over to line up, "It must be a great restaurant that can make people line up in such a long line spontaneously. Word of mouth is the best sign. Is there such a long queue?"

In Japan, only restaurants that focus on cooking have such a scene.People who are devout about food deserve such advocacy.

"Hi, is it like this every day here?" The old man asked the young man to translate for him. He was really curious that a century-old store with a good reputation in Japan can attract so many loyal customers, but most of these customers are nostalgic The tastes of the old and the young are more changeable and free.

But now, there are many young people in the queue, and young people are often impatient in this fast-paced era, but at this moment they are standing in a long queue without complaint.

The person who was questioned was an office worker nearby. Seeing that the person who asked him was an old Japanese man, he was very proud to introduce this store out of some kind of psychology.

"It's like this every day. If you come late, you won't be able to eat what you want. The small boss has limited energy, and the dishes he can cook every day are limited. If you increase the quantity, the quality will decline. Please ask other chefs to cook the same dishes." The taste. The line starts here at 03:30 every afternoon, and everyone likes his products.”

"It takes a lot of time to choose the ingredients. I heard that even the rice is ordered from the fish pond rice in the countryside, and the water is alpine spring water. All the ingredients are the freshest. The tableware in the tavern is custom-made. Yes, in order to match the dishes, the utensils for serving them are the most suitable. It is precisely because the little boss has high requirements, and the food he is not satisfied with will never appear on the guests' plates, so it is difficult to increase the quantity. If you come to eat, you have to fight for it." Another young man said.

"Really, it's really amazing. Only people who are very dedicated to their careers can do it." The old man is looking forward to it more and more. This kind of excellence, from materials to production, and the spirit of making details to the extreme are exactly his tradition. The "Tao" respected by craftsmen.

They waited for nearly 10 minutes before entering. The head chef was actually a young man like a student. In Japan, where seniority is very serious, even an assistant at this age is not enough.

In comparison, young people in China are more likely to stand out, but the chef in front of him is really too young.

"Hello, what do you need?" Qing Chuan asked with a smile, as if the type of customer had no effect on his service attitude.

This young man looks very immature, but his temperament is very calm.

The old man nodded secretly. Although this place is small, everything is in order and not messy. It is amazing that a restaurant with no waiter and only one person can take care of every customer.

Every customer will find a seat by himself after ordering, and the customer who left before has wiped the table clean with the wet wipes on the table. Everyone is abiding by the rules here and is very conscious.

He asked his assistant to translate for him and introduced the menu.

It seems that every serving is good, but today I don't really want to eat rice... oh, this.

"Then, let's have a bean cake."

The bean cake was served cold, so it was served quickly. Of course, it was his assistant who brought it.

The reddish-brown wooden tray feels smooth and absorbs like a baby's skin. It is made of pure solid wood and has a simple shape.

There is a very smooth polished bamboo tube on the reddish-brown wooden tray. There is tea in the bamboo tube. It is not a common tea, but a very thoughtful bamboo tea. People who are not familiar with Chinese tea ceremony can also judge the quality of this cup of tea.

The fragrance of bamboo leaves floating here and there gives people a simple and elegant enjoyment, just like the black pottery tea set he made, which is low-key and heavy.

This kind of tea is actually just an accessory. What kind of refreshment should be used as an accessory?

The question was quickly answered. It was a piece of celadon vessel like a split bamboo tube. It was long, with two arc-shaped sides. It was smooth and translucent like jade, and its color was as restrained and poetic as the blue sky after rain.

Three square pastries were arranged on the celadon vessel. The first piece was the color of new shoots in spring, pure and flawless. He picked up a wooden chopstick made of the same material as the wooden tray, and picked up a small piece.

The sand is not delicate or even has a slightly frosted taste. It is sweet, but it is the cool and sweet feeling of spring water moistening the throat.It looks like a pastry made of mung beans, which retains the cool taste of mung beans, and also has a little fragrance of osmanthus honey.Even with his picky and keen tongue, he couldn't taste a single mistake. This is the first-class food made with the simplest ingredients, full of the fragrance of the wilderness.

The second piece is a milky white pastry inlaid with dark red beans, with a scent of coconut and the sweetness of red beans, girls should like it very much.The white part probably uses lotus seed paste, which is smooth and delicious. It has the taste of glutinous rice but is not sticky to the teeth. Coupled with the obvious characteristics of the grains of the round red beans, it tastes unique.

With these two things alone, the old man felt that his trip was worthwhile, and he also had the same expectation for the rest.However, after eating the last one, he was still deeply surprised. He even felt for a moment that his imagination of delicious food was still too shallow.

It was a piece of pastry that was not particularly eye-catching, most of it was warm yellow, and only one corner was pure white.

Delicate and pure, as soon as it touches the tongue, it seems to turn into a cold spring and spread on the tip of the tongue. This is really an excellent dessert with a lingering aftertaste.

The purest ingredients, the purest food, discarding all unnecessary extras, just to maximize the beauty of an ingredient.A pea's triumph for the taste buds.

The ordinary appearance of the pastry has a rich connotation inside, just like a black pottery tea set, plain black, pure black.

But this is black pottery, and only this kind of pottery can be called black pottery.

But now many Japanese young people are obsessed with the appearance, using a lot of tricks to make things very delicate, but gradually ignoring the most essential things.

Like this, he is obsessed with his career and pursues the ultimate. This young man has the "artisan spirit" most respected by traditional craftsmen like them.

Sticking to his own path in this flashy world, and not being confused by the noise of the outside world, the old man felt as if he saw the back of a generation of masters walking alone.

No matter what occupation, age, or nationality, this is a respectable 'craftsman'.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"How come? It's right to work hard when you should work hard. Instead, I, an ignorant old man, messed up a bit. I accidentally ate a very appetizing snack, so I did such an impolite thing. "

The old man in kimono and his assistant waited for several hours until Qingchuan got off work.

It was around seven o'clock when all the guests dispersed. He hung up the sign that he was resting, made two more cups of tea, and brought out a box of snacks.

Just now the old man's assistant wanted to ask him to do something, but at that time Qingchuan was really too busy, he didn't have time, and he couldn't take care of the other side.Unexpectedly, the other party had been waiting for several hours, just waiting for him to get off work.

These old people are really choking when they are persistent.

The old man spoke, and the young man next to him translated in a low voice.

"I don't know if the store provides reservation service? I just inquired and said that take-out is not allowed here, and reservations are not allowed, but I still made such a request with the audacity. When people are old, they seem to be too obsessed with certain things. The age of the store It's light, but the craftsmanship is outstanding. The human body cannot be deceived, and when you eat food that suits your appetite, you can't help but feel happy."

"The old gentleman looks dusty, because he's leaving soon?"

"Yes, I came to my granddaughter's wedding. Seeing her happy, I can leave contentedly. So it is very presumptuous to make such a request. I want to order some pastries like that just now and take them back as souvenirs. Relatives and friends We didn’t come here, but we still have some doubts about our daughter marrying so far away, and I can relax a little bit after eating such happy food.”

That's a weird but plausible statement.

If you can't come, and you don't trust the information you get from the Internet and other people's mouths, then a box of delicious snacks from that place may give you a little peace of mind.

The taste of food has associations. What you taste with your mouth is more intuitive and profound than what you see with your eyes or hear with your ears.

"Do you want to bring it back to your hometown as a souvenir? That's a lot of weight, can you bring it on the plane?"

"It's a private jet, so it's okay. About thirty copies are needed. I suddenly felt the taste of happiness in this strange country, and I wanted everyone to share this joy, so I made a very capricious request."

"Thirty copies, yes." Qing Chuan nodded, his tenderness and considerateness seemed to be revealed in his gentle smile, "Because it's such a happy thing as marriage, so what's the point of making an exception once?"

"That's great."

The author has something to say: Your Majesty, today...

Concubine Wan Gui, I am determined to cultivate my body and mind, and I will live in the Imperial Study Room today.
