The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 245: The birth of the food column
Because the dissemination of information in ancient times took a certain amount of time, after about five or six days, people began to come looking for Zheng Ping, and the number of people gradually increased. Zheng Ping was acquainted with the old every day.
Many children were not very old when they parted, and when they saw the news directly or indirectly, they felt new and excited. Although we haven't seen each other for many years and don't remember much of what happened back then, but after we met, everyone would still cry.
Fortunately, Yun Yanhui organized a party and invited all the people who were currently looking for him to a restaurant.
The scene after the meeting was really touching. When it came to the past, everyone burst into tears.
Li Zeyun followed him to record and actually cried a few times.
Yun Yanhui was numb when she saw Li Zeyun crying, she took out the handkerchief from her arms and handed it to him to wipe her tears. No way, Li Zeyun's own has long been wiped and can't be used.
"Woooo..." Li Zeyun wiped his tears and said, "Sir, when I go back these days, my wife is wondering why my eyes are swollen."
Li Zeyun's wife didn't dare to ask at first, thinking that he was wronged at work, for fear that it would hurt his self-esteem.
"Haha, the people who read your report cry the same as you do." Yun Yan smiled back.
Li Zeyun has published three reports on this matter in the past few days, and one is a follow-up report on the search for rice cakes.
The editor-in-chief didn't ask him to do it at first, but he was really touched that day. After he went back, he wrote a report with sincerity. After handing it over, the editor-in-chief immediately typed it and decided to use it.
The editor-in-chief felt that their "Tokyo Daily", as the first and only official media of the Song Dynasty, should not only stand at a high position to reflect social phenomena, but also focus on these small details, which also showed the folk customs of the Song Dynasty.
As a result, the publication of this report was indeed very popular, touched many people deeply, and made a lot of tears. Yun Yanhui learned of the reaction from Li Zeyun. She was a little surprised at first, but then she understood.
The people of this era are limited by their standard of living and are more "sentimental" because their communication is different from that of modern people, and their parting is even more different from that of modern people.
Therefore, the kind of "missing" described in the text, everyone feels the same, has had a similar experience, the subject is very grounded.
In addition to the magical role played by the Tokyo Daily News, you can see that through a piece of news published in the newspaper, two people who have not met for decades, and were even just a relationship between customers and vendors at the time. , to achieve a trivial but elusive wish... For them, this is a wonderful miracle.
Thin paper can speak to the world, carrying the vision and happiness in people's hearts. It can be said that this is not only a touching little story, but also an extremely successful marketing, which fully reflects the The influence of "Tokyo Daily" has once again elevated its status.
Many people were interested in the story after seeing the report. Some of them went to visit Mr. Fan, and some even asked him how to make rice cakes that can be remembered for so long.
The follow-up report on the search for Salesianzhuang also came out, and the long-lost partners reunited after a long absence, which made it even more attractive. Everyone who hadn't seen each other for so long was reunited because of an announcement.
——I heard that some people have already moved to other places. Although they don't read newspapers, there are people in the local area who are loyal readers. After seeing this, they mentioned this to others and let them know. Although this person could not come in person, he sent a letter to the address left by the notice.
People who were still on the sidelines turned to the Tokyo Daily, hoping to pay for the publication of various notices.
They all have people and things they want to find. Some people, like Zheng Ping, want to find friends they lost many years ago. Some people, like Fu Yunfeng, never forget a certain food that is no longer there. Some people even Log out the clue, claiming to have lost a child many years ago, with a certain birthmark somewhere, what if the child could see it?
Li Zeyun's fame has grown because of those reports. Many people also say that they like the rice cake news written by him the most. His wife cried a lot after seeing the news, and then she realized why her husband came back with red eyes every day.
Li Zeyun wiped away his tears and said, "Sir, our editor-in-chief said that we should consider opening a column to report on the more interesting follow-ups of people and objects."
"It's a good thing, did he ask you to be the main writer?" Yun Yan replied with a smile.
"You guessed it? Yes," Li Zeyun wanted to cry and laugh, "I'm afraid, you say, if I keep doing this in the future, will my eyes be better?"
"Then I'll show you another direction." Yun Yan replied seriously.
Li Zeyun scratched his head, "What direction?"
Yun Yan replied: "After I heard that your news was published in the newspaper, many people went to look for Mr. Fan, some who studied art, and some who wanted to try the rice cake at a high price. I also read the report, and I felt that in addition to In addition to the emotional bonus, it's also because you described the rice cake well, and it's not bad..."
Li Zeyun faintly felt that he had touched something, "You mean..."
Yun Yan replied: "You might as well apply for a food column. Although this love column will be a big hit in a short period of time, in the end, food will last forever. Remember when I told you that day, food is the most moving thing. things?"
"..." Li Zeyun said numbly, "I thought you were joking."
Yunyan replied dissatisfiedly: "How could I joke about eating!"
Li Zeyun said bitterly: "Sir, why do you have to associate everything with food?"
Yunyan strangled him back, "Why, you don't want to write?"
Li Zeyun said bitterly: "Sir, I still want to write a report that can be remembered and more influential..."
This is also understandable. Li Zeyun, at his age, has ideals. He also shared his true thoughts with Yunyan. Although a lot of tears may be shed, no matter how you look at it, this love-seeking column has more connotation.
It is conceivable that there will be many followers of food, but Li Zeyun feels that he may be embarrassed to tell others that he is the reporter who wrote this...
Yunyan let go and hummed: "It seems that you and I are not fellow travelers."
Li Zeyun complained: "Who can be the same traveler as you...I only have one pair of legs, so I can't walk so much."
"...For the sake of your good ass, I won't say anything about you." Yun Yan rubbed her hands back, "But I still think it's a pity, it's a shame to write about food. It's a pity that it has potential!"
The influence of the Tokyo Daily News is undeniable, but there is a lot of potential that has yet to be tapped. Yun Yanhui regretted that Li Zeyun refused to do something big with him, and wanted to do something again, so she thought about finding another writer.
Think about it, maybe most of the "Tokyo Daily" reporters have the same idea as Li Zeyun. It's better to find someone else and play it as an interest, so that they can see what is an eternal hot topic .
"What?! Are you Shuang Yi? You've changed a lot!" Someone's exclamation caught Yun Yanhui's attention, he turned his head to look, but there was a little friend over there looking at him in surprise Double Yi.
Shuang Yi took Shen Kuo's arm and nodded reservedly.
The man: "It's really... long time no see, I'm Ximei, do you remember? At that time, we both liked Saburo, and we always quarreled."
Shuangyi: "..."
Shen Kuo: "..."
Shuang Yi snorted, "Children like to play with older children, do you have children? How old are you?" Shuang Yi was afraid that his own child would not be safe enough, and pushed Shen Kuo to Yun Yan back again.
Shen Kuo reluctantly walked to Yun Yanhui's side and said dullly, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Yunyan laughed back and died, thinking how Shen Kuo was like Zhao Yunchu, "How old was Shuangyi at that time? It's not that children like to play and play together, and Ximei is too exaggerated."
Children also have hobbies and are willing to play with popular children. This kind of liking is very pure, just like Zhao Youwu likes to play with little tigers.
Shen Kuo died, and what Yun Yan said back was the same, that he was stingy when compared with children, but Ximei's words did sound uncomfortable.
Yunyan recalled that Shen Kuo's writing was also very good, and he had a taste for life, so he invited him to write a food review, making a lot of noise.
"...Although I can't open a column for us, but we can be a clear stream in the literature and art section, and submit food essays there, I will be in charge of planning, you will be the main writer, and we will eat together..."
Shen Kuo waved his hand, "I'm not going, I'm busy."
Yun Yan asked what he was busy with, and he said, "I'm busy with weapons, and I'll accompany Shuangyi after I'm done..." Shen Kuo whispered a little shyly, "Shuangyi's body has been recuperated." /
As soon as Yunyan heard this, she knew what it meant. She was about to have a baby.
Shen Kuo said this, Yun Yanhui was embarrassed to bring others in, he was still waiting to be an uncle, so he put on Shen Kuo's shoulder and said, "Since this is the case, then you should work hard and strive to be a father next year. Your family is a medical heirloom, I can rest assured!"
Shen Kuo nodded with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and asked cautiously: "Zhufeng, you are not too young..."
Yunyan has received permission from Renzong to return, so she is even less anxious, "establish a career first and then start a family."
This reason seems to be very sufficient for a workaholic, but Shen Kuo always felt that something was wrong. He only came to Beijing two years ago, so it was a bit strange to see Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu.
However, Shen Kuo didn't dare to say this kind of speculation, he didn't dare to mention it on Shuangyi's side.
At this moment, Shen Kuo is also inconvenient, but his doubts are getting heavier and heavier.
Yun Yanhui knew that Shen Kuo and Shuang Yi were preparing for pregnancy. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She felt that holding a baby next year should not be a problem, so she decided to prepare some maternity supplies and baby supplies in advance.
……
After the party on this side was over, it was already in the afternoon. Everyone vented their emotions, made an appointment to meet in the future, and said goodbye to each other.
Li Zeyun went back to write the manuscript, Shuangyi couple and Zheng Ping couple went home respectively, Yun Yan went back to Kaifeng Mansion.
The half-year time is approaching, but Yun Yanhui at the Salesian Bureau didn't want to leave for a while, and couldn't leave, so he decided to continue for two months and come back after finishing his work.
Therefore, Yun Yan had to go to Kaifeng Mansion to go through the formalities. Anyway, living close to home was just a matter of course.
After Yunyan returned to the mansion to complete the formalities, he went to Zhao Yunchu's study. Zhao Yunchu was looking at the file when he saw Yunyan coming back and said with a smile, "How was the party today?"
"I cried a lot." Yun Yan replied relaxedly, "but they all cried with laughter."
The two exchanged information about what happened today. Yun Yan replied that Li Zeyun went to pursue his ideals and refused to partner with him to do big things. Shen Kuo and Shuang Yi wanted to prepare for pregnancy, but he refused.
Zhao Yunchu is busy with government affairs every day, and his writing is too dry for describing food Ah!"
Zhao Yunchu blew Yun Yan back thousands of times in his heart, how wonderful it is to have a delicious meal with three or five friends, and then write down essays and submit them to the newspaper, so that all the old eaters in the city will know how interesting it is to live!
It's boring to do this alone, at least that's what Yun Yanhui likes. It won't be bad if you taste it alone, but it's even more interesting if you have friends with like-minded interests.
Yun Yan replied: "Well, I also think that the big deal is that I will wait a few more years before Fatty Su will grow up..."
Zhao Yunchu heard his vague second half sentence and asked curiously, "What fat man?"
"Nothing." At this time, Yun Yanhui suddenly heard a familiar voice from outside.
"Pharaoh, there's less **** in the fish soup in the morning, I only drank half a bowl, it's too fishy!" Bai Yutang's voice came from a height.
Old Wang is the cook in the cafeteria, he explained: "Five masters! Today is not enough ginger, so I put a little less, really just a little, you can taste it?"
Yun Yanhui pushed the window open, and saw Bai Yutang sitting on the roof, and he was emphasizing solemnly with the chef passing by: "How many times have I said, you must be careful and careful, there is no ginger, why didn't you prepare earlier? Good?"
Yunyan sweated back, "Did he start to manage the kitchen while I was away?"
He said, but suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Yunchu.
Zhao Yunchu hesitated: "Is this okay? Bai Yutang's mouth... is very poisonous."
Yunyan replied: "High standards."
Zhao Yunchu asked again: "Then he can write?"
Yunyan replied: "Anyway, he has written poetry, so there is culture."
Zhao Yunchu: "...Then, can he agree?"
Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu looked at each other for a while, then turned their heads and shouted: "Bai Wuye——!!"
