Return To 1977 Chapter 776: Turn over the story

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

In November 1982, the TV series "Wasted Years", adapted from Ye Xin's novel of the same name, ended its broadcast on China Television.

This TV series not only caused a nationwide sensation, but also triggered a wave of reviews of the lives of educated youth.

The TV series theme song "An Unforgettable Song" sung by Guan Mucun became popular all over the country.

Xiao Xiong, who played the heroine Du Jianchun, also left a deep impression on the audience and won the Best Actress Award at the first TV Golden Eagle Award.

As for the reason why this work has such a strong response and has become a cultural hot spot, it is mainly because it shows the path that a generation has traveled together and is inseparable from the general background of the times.

Thousands of educated youths who have had similar experiences, it was from this TV series that they suddenly remembered how they were laid off and working while singing "Troika", and their struggling destiny and life. hardships.

Of course, if you feel the same way, you will be moved by the scene, giving rise to a complex taste that is both bitter and comforting.

I hope people’s time will no longer be wasted! May the wasted years become history forever!

Fortunately, this is indeed the case, and history has quietly turned a new page.

Four or five years have passed, and most of the educated youth have not only found their new life coordinates, but they are also looking forward to the future with a longing gaze and welcoming changes.

As one of the luckier ones, Shouzheng and Hong Yanwen are naturally typical representatives of this generation's elite.

Although one has gone abroad, the other is starting a family in China and is about to become a father.

But this is just a difference in choice. Their fundamental goals are still the same, and they are all working hard to realize their personal values.

Just because people like them who have experienced real hardships know how to cherish time and seize opportunities, they are destined not to be inactive.

This article also applies to Shuiqing.

Although after returning to the city, her experience was relatively rough.

Just because I was alone with the children who were supported by my friends, my studies were interrupted, and all aspects of my life were seriously negatively affected.

But life will not completely disappoint a person after all, especially with that person’s unremitting and diligent efforts. It is common sense that when the east is not bright, the west is bright.

No, it’s because Shui Qing worked hard, performed well, and achieved great results.

Not only did she gain the trust and reliance of Mrs. Wei from the labor union and the old director of the factory office, she was even taken aback by the company's Youth League Committee, and she tried to transfer her to the Youth League Committee several times.

If the factory didn't want to release him at all and always used the excuse of staff shortage to force him to stay, Shui Qing would have become the youth league committee officer long ago.

Of course, the factory will inevitably owe something to Shuiqing.

So in order to compensate, Sister Wei took the lead and asked the factory to put aside the many activists waiting to join the party and give priority to Shui Qing to join the party.

This is enough to prove the sincerity of the factory in promoting reuse.

So even though Shui Qing's position and level have not changed yet, everyone knows that it is just a matter of time. Almost everyone treats her as a mid-level cadre.

If we take into account the problem of the system, the larger the organization, the less effective its human resources are.

Objectively speaking, Shui Qing's current career situation is actually better than that of her classmates who have obtained official university diplomas but have nothing to do every day.

Xiao Heping is also one of the educated youth who jumped in line to get into college, but his characteristic is that he is almost unworldly.

He has no pursuit of professional titles and benefits. I don't even have the slightest interest in finding a partner.

His mind is almost entirely devoted to painting and creation. He loves both Chinese and Western paintings, and all his salary is spent on painting tools, buying albums, and attending art exhibitions.

Logically speaking, a person like him cannot tolerate anything else in his heart, and it is difficult to get excited about mundane things.

No, Hong Yanwu could make him so happy that he couldn't sleep.

It turns out that because Xu Chongya was pregnant, Hong Yanwen gave up the idea of ​​moving and had already returned the dormitory key to Hong Yanwu.

As for Hong Yanwu, he could not bear to see Xiao Heping sleeping alone in the studio all day, but he also admired his persistence.

Thinking of friendship, I generously lent him the house again without even paying rent.

In this way, Xiao Heping will be able to paint more freely in the future, and his living conditions will improve rapidly. How can it not be beautiful?

So let alone the gratitude in his heart.

For this reason, he not only spent half a month's salary on treating Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to a feast, but also gave them cigarettes and alcohol.

He also offered to paint a portrait oil painting for Hong Yanwu's parents as a gift.

And he promised again and again that he would never wait to leave. Whenever he needs it, as long as he says hello a few days in advance, he will be able to move in time.

This is called being sensible. If he was not such a person, he would not be worthy of Hong Yanwu's kindness.

After talking for a while, of course we have to turn to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan in the end.

This month, the biggest gain for the two brothers is that their relationship with "Zhang Dashao" has made a breakthrough.

I finally got permission and was able to enter the kitchen when "Zhang Dashao" was cooking.

For this reason, even Hua Ying said, "You two are so lucky. I never thought that Master Zhang would make an exception one day..."

Of course, everything happens for a reason, and it happens step by step. There has to be a process.

First of all, ever since Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came to the kitchen, they fell in love with "Zhang Dashao" because of their hard work and hard work.

Don't look at "Zhang Dashao" scolding them as nitpickingly as he did to others.

But there is a difference after all. Their distinctive and dedicated seriousness is something "Zhang Dashao" knows best in his heart.

And "Zhang Dashao" likes people with real abilities.

The "fried liver" they cook is really delicious, and they are the true successor of "Tianxingju".

He just took a high look at them and felt that they were at least capable masters and not considered useless.

Secondly, "Zhang Dashao" can also see that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan truly appreciate his craftsmanship.

Because if this were not the case, who would be willing to pay such an expensive price to eat one of his dishes and be so ecstatic?

And he can also say something like "The art is so perfect that it is almost Tao"?

To put it bluntly, this is the same as "when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent." The higher the level of the chef, the more he likes diners who know how to appreciate it.

Only in this way can you live up to your own craftsmanship, otherwise it will be a waste of efforts to wink at the blind.

In addition, even though Hong Yanwu usually treated "Zhang Dashao" with a submissive and respectful attitude, he dared not to "pee" the factory leader.

His dissatisfaction with the deputy secretary is reflected on the surface. He does whatever he wants without fear of confronting the leader and affecting his future.

This kind of "three young man"-like character, although it seems silly to others, proves that Hong Yanwu is not a snob who licks the leader's buttocks, and his regard for "Zhang Dashao" is indeed genuine. .

So this also made "Zhang Dashao" appreciate it and feel comfortable.

In short, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan fell in love with "Zhang Dashao" in every way. This may be fate.

If he had not given up his mind long ago and would never accept a disciple, he would probably have relaxed his attitude by now.

However, although it is not possible to formally transfer the skills, once the relationship is in place, "Zhang Dashao" treats them a little differently.

When chatting, sometimes I am willing to give you some tips on cooking.

Of course, he is not talking about delicacies from mountains and seas, but home-cooked dishes made with the most common and cheapest ingredients.

And there are words first. Although these methods are effective, the purpose is to take advantage of others, which inevitably loses the true meaning of cooking and cannot be regarded as a real skill.

But having said that, the key is who is passing on the art?

With such ability and temperament as "Zhang Dashao", if he is willing to tell you, how could it not work?

And precisely because he talks but does not practice, these tricks of his are very easy to master and easy to master.

Basically, you can master it as soon as you listen to it, which can directly improve the quality of life and have the magical effect of turning decay into something magical.

For example, take fried peanuts. This is a common dish to go with drinks, but the oil temperature and heat are not easy to control.

What most people do is not easy to blur, turn black and zoom. It's just undercooked on the outside and soft on the inside, with a bit of an earthy smell.

"Zhang Dashao" told Hong Yanwu that you first pour the peanuts into a basin, add a few drops of white vinegar, and pour in water to soak. After drying, fry it slowly over low heat. Once it cools down, it will look different.

Sure enough, when Hong Yanwu’s family tried it, the fried peanuts were extremely delicious.

Crispy, fragrant and tasty, not burnt or burnt on the outside, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary fried peanut kernels.

Not to mention that my family was full of praise for it, I gave it to my neighbors to try, and they all received rave reviews.

Unexpectedly, Old Ding in the courtyard was not feeling well.

I asked Hong Yanwu behind his back where he learned it and who told him.

After that, he repeatedly told him not to expand the scope of communication.

I bet this is also one of his secrets to "collapse the beans". It can be regarded as the secret that he relied on to make a living back then.

There is also the dish "roasted elbow", which is indispensable on the dining tables of people in the capital during holidays.

But the most annoying part is dealing with the raw elbow.

Because raw elbows have odor and hairy roots, if you really want to remove the odor and hairy roots, you must use burning method.

Generally speaking, people in the capital use fire chopsticks, put them in the stove to make them red hot, and then handle them carefully and slowly.

I am afraid of burning my elbows and making the whole room stink. Very troublesome.

But "Zhang Dashao" told Hong Yanwu that in fact, there was no need to bother.

Ask him to hold the raw elbow while he cooks it at home, turn up the gas stove, and burn it directly with the fire.

It's so burned that it makes the skin completely black. Don't be afraid at all, because only the cuticles and hair follicles are burned. You only need to scrub them in alkaline water and they will be clean.

Hong Yanwu remembered and relayed it to his mother. Later, Wang Yunlin did it again, and the result was an unexpected surprise.

The exposed inner skin of the elbow treated in this way not only does not have any hair cones, but also has no "gas" at all.

Especially when used to make pork elbow dishes, it has a special and faint burnt aroma, and the taste is even better.
