The Beijing Film Studio is very large, with the factory area at the front door and the living area at the back. There are several tube buildings in the living area, and each floor has a long corridor connecting more than a dozen households. Each household has a small area, and pots and pans can only be piled in the corridor. When it comes to mealtime, the whole building is filled with the smell of oil smoke. It is still good now, but in the 1980s, there were more and more employees in the Beijing Film Studio, and there were not enough houses to share. Singles can sleep in the office, but married people and those with children have no choice but to fight for houses. There was an actress named Gailili, who stayed in the Beijing Film Studio for a few years. At that time, another actress got married and took a fancy to her single dormitory. When she was out filming, she pried open the door, threw out the things, and occupied it openly. I can only say that houses are very important at any time. After the filming was finished that day, in the evening, the four main creators Tang Guoqiang, Gong Xue, Zhang Jinling, and Chen Qi gathered in the tube building. "Come in, come in, you're just in time, I just bought some vegetables!" "Sit anywhere, don't be shy, eat some candy, there are also melon seeds!" Wang Haowei and his wife greeted them warmly, Chen Qi looked around the house, it was about ten square meters, very cramped, but clean, and the most stuff was books. Tang Guoqiang's wife was powerful, Zhang Jinling had just gotten married and was also allocated a similar house. Gong Xue was a little envious, she was still living in a dormitory in the army, she didn't have her own house.
As for Chen Qi, he was a freeloader, he could whore forever. After chatting for a while, Wang Haowei said: "You guys sit down first, I bought some meat and made some side dishes for you." "How can I let you do it, we'll do it!" "Don't worry, you're guests." After some socializing, Gong Xue took the initiative to help, Chen Qi could do it too, but he was lazy. He strolled outside. Every household was cooking. There were all kinds of smells, both fragrant and strange. Gong Xue looked through the ingredients and said in surprise: "You also bought hairtail?" "I finally got it. It's a genuine winter hairtail from Zhoushan. Have you been to Zhoushan?" "I went there twice when I was a child. Hairtail is really good. Look at the size. You bought the most expensive one, right? 38 cents per pound." "Look at it!" Wang Haowei got the emotional value she wanted, so she put her arm around Gong Xue's shoulders and praised: "This is called a person who lives a life. Jinling, you can't do that. You are careless!" "Yeah, yeah, I know how to eat it!" Zhang Jinling didn't care. In 1957, there was a bumper harvest of hairtail in the south. Beijing purchased 150,000 pounds of fresh hairtail, and the next year it bought more than one million pounds. This thing has a large output, is of good quality and low price, and is very suitable for promotion. Cadres from various streets and communes went out to promote that hairtail contains high iodine, can prevent goiter, and is delicious. Hurry up and buy it. Just like that, the people of Beijing started eating the hairtail from the south. The hairtail from Zhoushan is the best. The quality of this thing is determined by its size. The wider it is, the more expensive it is. "How do you want to cook it?" "Stew it. We all stew it." "Stew it? In fact, braised dishes are also delicious, and sweet and sour dishes are also good." Gong Xue suggested with a smile, but someone was like a ghost, looking for trouble behind him: "Hey, your Shanghai dishes are thick with oil and sauce, but we can't do that. We have a light taste. Director Wang's seasoning is free, right?" "Then fry it in oil before stewing, it will taste better."
"Oil is also free?" Tsk! Gong Xue turned around and glared at him. Why is he so annoying? "Go in, don't poke this in the way!" Wang Haowei drove him into the house and said, "Xiao Gong, let's stew it. It will be lively to eat it in one pot with soup and water." "Well, I'll listen to you." Gong Xue nodded, took a pot of hairtail, and cleaned it up neatly. Although the oil is expensive, she cooked it for a while since she was treating guests today. She lit the honeycomb coal stove, put in the seasonings, and simmered it slowly. Soon, the aroma filled the air. "Oh, you're treating guests!" "It smells like the hairtail fish worth 38 cents. Can you give us one?" "You didn't give us a piece of pork elbow yesterday. Come in!" The neighbors came out to make fun of her. Wang Haowei said goodbye to her identity as a director and became a homely lady. She liked Gong Xue more and more and said, "Xiao Gong, when are you going back to the army?" "I'm going back tomorrow." "You are such a good kid. There is nothing to pick on. If there is a role suitable for you in the future, we will work together again." "Well, thank you, Director Wang!" Gong Xue smiled. Due to her upbringing, she actually has a bit of a people-pleasing personality. She is afraid of offending people and cares about what others think of her. When she behaves in front of Wang Haowei, of course, she has a purposeful side. This is normal, but it is different from the fierce woman like Liu Xiaoqing. Liu Xiaoqing can risk everything just to climb up. Not long after, the meal was served, of course, a large pot of stewed hairtail fish, surrounded by a few side dishes, rice, steamed buns, and a bottle of wine. "Are any of you drinking?" "Mostly female comrades, I won't drink." Tang Guoqiang said. "It's hard to explain when you get home, right?" Tang Guoqiang rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to pay attention, Chen Qile said: "If Old Tang doesn't drink, I won't drink either." "Then I'll say a few words first..." Wang Haowei saw that he was the boss at home, and he took the initiative to say: "From the time Xiao Chen wrote the script for "Love in Lushan", it has been more than half a year, and the filming work has finally been completed. This is a very pleasant experience, everyone gets along very well, and there are not so many shitty things. You don't shoot much, you may not know how difficult it is to have a peaceful crew. So I thank you all, let's have tea instead of wine!" The few of them clinked their cups and started eating. It's not easy to have a good meal these days, so they respect food very much.
Chen Qi picked up a piece of hairtail fish, which had been stewed until the bones were soft and the meat was tender. He picked off the bones on one side with his hands, and then slurped along the main bones in the middle. Oh, it was so delicious! After eating two pieces, he quickly scooped up the soup, mumbling: "Drink the soup, the soup is the most nutritious, the essence of hairtail fish is in the soup." "Just eat it, don't keep talking, who doesn't know how to drink soup?" Tang Guoqiang was dissatisfied. "I want soup with rice, it's delicious!" Chen Qi soaked a bowl of rice, which was gone in the blink of an eye. He was embarrassed to add another bowl, so he picked up a steamed bun and looked at it for a long time. "What's wrong with you? "Tang Guoqiang said. "I was thinking, if we cut it into steamed bread slices, fry it in oil, and then coat it with a thick layer of sesame paste, and then sprinkle it with a thick layer of granulated sugar, this bite, hey!" Everyone was happy, Zhang Jinling's big face was shaking, and she laughed: "Xiao Chen, you are always like a little adult, only like a child when you eat." "What child? Have you seen a child as old as me?" "Sometimes you are a special child, and you are very naughty." Wang Haowei confirmed. "This is called childishness, you don't understand!" Without the filming task, everyone was very relaxed and had a good chat about everything. They all had their own purposes, and Wang Haowei's treat was also to win favor, but it did not prevent them from having friendship. "Xiao Gong, are you going back to the army tomorrow?" "Yes!" "Then Xiao Chen's task is also completed, are you going to leave too?" "I'm not leaving, I'm writing a new script, and I'll still live in the guesthouse and eat and drink for free. " He was shameless. Wang Haowei also said a few words from the heart: "It doesn't matter if you live in the factory as a screenwriter, everyone treats you as an outsider. Once you come in, I mean if you want to come in, you will face a different scene. " "I understand, I have already felt that some people don't like me." Chen Qi laughed.
