National Tide 1980

Although everyone celebrates the Spring Festival every year, few people know that so far, the "earliest Spring Festival" (the first day of the first lunar month) occurred on January 21, 1966.

And "The Latest Spring Festival" is the two tied for the championship.

They were February 20, 1920, and February 20, 1985.

There is almost a month difference between the earliest and the latest.

However, according to calendar calculations, this is still not the ultimate.

Because if there is no artificial adjustment to the lunar calendar, people will actually usher in the real "latest Spring Festival in history" on February 21, 2319.

Looking at it this way, we will find a very interesting phenomenon - the earliest known Spring Festival and the latest Spring Festival almost all occurred within the 20th century.

This means that in Ning Weimin's life, he not only caught up with the earliest Spring Festival in 1966, but also coincidentally encountered the latest Spring Festival for the second time.

This is really a very fortunate thing.

Perhaps, this gap between the two extremes can also be regarded as "there is God's will in the dark".

It indicates that the republic in this century must embark on the road of revival, and our national destiny will complete the transformation from decline to prosperity.

It is also consistent with the personality change that Ning Weimin himself is undergoing.

What is also interesting is that as a TV series broadcast at a special time during the Lunar New Year in the Year of Yichou, the four words "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" are as accurate as fortune telling, and appropriately summarize the characteristics of this year.

You must know that with the development of the commodity economy, 1985 has actually reached an important juncture in reform and reached a critical point in time when prices had to be overcome. Naturally, it became a year when many people were unwilling to be lonely and showed their talents.

But conversely, it must be said that 1985 was also a year when various values ​​collided and entangled.

Among all strata, value imbalance and confusion are inevitable, which is also a worrying phenomenon.

Take the self-employed as an example. They make money and they make money. Today’s households worth 10,000 yuan are no longer enough.

The first group of people to start working have accumulated several years of experience in the seller's market, and there are many people who can take advantage of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But precisely because of this, as explained in the commentator article "Professional Households Are Afraid Today" published by the People's Daily in January this year, self-employed people are increasingly worried about policy risks.

Yes, it is certain that national reform and opening up is an inevitable choice for the development of the times.

To what extent it can be developed and how it is allowed to be done is still unclear.

The businesses of self-employed people have already reached this point, and it is inertia to continue to grow their business.

But I couldn't see the prospect, and I was really scared.

The warning line that employees cannot exceed seven people is like a lifeline, tightly strangling the necks of self-employed people.

But no one would be willing to just stick to their one-third of an acre of land without moving forward.

Therefore, for self-employed people, this mentality is particularly stressful.

Compared with the financial pressure, the physical pressure is much greater.

Ever since, this contradictory psychology has led to the emergence of some special business phenomena.

In January 1985, five or six Zhejiang (general) people came to the capital for the first time.

In their hometown, they were all in the wholesale business of fabrics.

In addition to each carrying tens of thousands of dollars, they have one thing in common.

That's because the "Taiwan Association" in my hometown collapsed, and some people were jealous of their business success and took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

They had no choice but to come to Beijing with their only assets to avoid debts and look for ways to make a fortune to see if there was any chance of a comeback.

The thinking of these people is very simple. There are few people in a small place and it is difficult to do business.

Only in a big place and with a large volume of goods can they earn money quickly and pay off the debts they owed in their hometown, so they chose the capital.

Needless to say, the first thing they do after coming to Beijing is to find a business location.

Some of them fell in love with Daqianmen, while others fell in love with Hongqiao.

In both places, there are some green tin stalls recruiting people at this time. They were set up by the government to promote economic revitalization.

These people from Zhejiang took the initiative to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and asked, "Can outsiders come?"

Someone from the industry and commerce replied, "Outsiders can rent, but they must have proof of travel."

Several Zhejiang (general) people have been doing business all year round, and there is certainly proof of this.

It's a pity that when they took it out, they found that it didn't work because of a small deviation.

Because the title of their certificate says "outside the province" instead of "the capital".

People from the industrial and commercial sectors said that it was almost impossible and they had to go back and reopen.

Because of this, several people found it impossible to do business in the city.

No matter how good this place is, the city has strict regulations, but this won't work.

So when everyone gathered together, they all came out to hide from debts. How could they dare to run back?

I'm afraid I have to go to a remote place.

It's better to go outside the city. If you really want to have something in case, for example, if your business gets bigger and you get investigated or there's a dispute, it'll be easier to run away.

For this reason, they just boarded the No. 17 bus and got off at Muxiyuan Station.

To be honest, it was completely random. They got off the bus after seeing that the house had turned into a farmer's tile-roofed house.

After getting off the bus, they also asked as they walked, and first found No. 4, Haihutun.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally hit it, and I was lucky.

As soon as you enter, you will see a warehouse for emptying clothes, which is rented by a self-employed person in Beijing.

After asking around again, the rent is not expensive. The monthly rent is only 50 yuan for almost ten square meters.

But the landlord said there was no more land here and introduced them to No. 9.

In this way, passed around one by one, these five or six people all rented the houses they needed in Haihutun that day.

No one could have imagined that they would stay here for decades.

No one would have thought that even their relatives and friends in their hometown would move here to do the clothing business almost entirely because they settled here in the next dozen years.

Just because of a restriction, just because of fear of policy management.

These people who dared not go to the city to do business inadvertently contributed to the formation of the Jingnan Clothing Wholesale Market known to everyone in the capital - "Zhe (Jiang) Village".

On the other hand, they are different from these foreigners who come to Beijing looking for ways to make money.

These days, people in the capital still have certain unique advantages in doing small business.

Don't look at the old Beijing people who use "Tian'anmen is sparse and you can walk around, but Dashilan is airtight" to describe the prosperous scene of Daqianmen, a geomantic treasure land.

But as a century-old brand in Langfang Ertiao in the Qianmen area, "Baodu Feng" is a repeat business.

Feng Guangju, who was fifty years old at the time, was the third generation descendant of Baodu Feng.

In 1956, he, who had been learning the family craft since he was a child, had no use for it and had to work in a factory as a lathe.

He has been doing this for decades, and it has also been decades since the Feng family's "explosive belly" disappeared in the capital.

Originally, he had no intention of returning to his old career.

But a few years ago, an old man from overseas who had been "concerned" about Beijing's snacks for decades suddenly paid a visit.

I sincerely offered him a high price to do another belly-explosion.

And after eating the fried belly he made, she burst into tears, held his hand tightly and said, "After more than thirty years, I finally ate what I dreamed of. Thank you!"

This incident inevitably touched him, and he began to realize that Beijing snacks were more than just a bite to eat for many people, so he thought about picking up the craft again.

It was also thanks to the increasingly abundant supplies of reform and opening up that in this year, the supply of fresh sheep tripe was finally solved, so "Baodu Feng", which had been dormant for decades, met the people of the capital again.

Don't forget that Baodu Feng only has a small room after it opened. It was renovated from his own house. There are only four small tables in the room.

But since the day it opened after New Year's Day, it has been packed with diners and there is a long queue outside.

Regardless of eating Baodu'er, there aren't many tricks. It's just a "Gourd", a "Bao Dan", and the most common one is "Bang San Dan".

But this stuff is extremely cheap and satisfying all year round.

If one person wants to have a glass of wine, two portions of fried rice, and two portions of sesame seed cakes, it will be a fairy-like enjoyment.

People who are knowledgeable and know how to eat, not only will no one find fault with the simplicity of this place, but those who come in will be applauded.

For example, at noon on New Year's Eve, Feng Guangju met two really good customers. They came in and talked, and everything was on point.

"Shopkeeper, business is booming."

"Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper."

Older people, whether they are really good eaters or not, just talking can make people happy.

Feng Guangju, who was sitting on the stove, nodded happily in response.

"For your kind words, you two are too polite. Please come inside quickly. It's cold outside and I'm tired of waiting for you for a long time."

"Haha, there's a long line of people queuing up even today. It's really hard to get a bite of your food."

"Hey, it's actually normal. There are only two things in the capital that make people addicted. One is bean juice, and the other is this belly-explosion."

Listen to these words, it is a pleasure to hear them.

"What can you two eat? I have quite a lot of stuff today. I have everything you want."

Of course Feng Guangju doesn’t mean that his place will be like Xiabu Xiabu or Haidilao in the future.

Everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, runs on the ground, grows in the mountains, there are all kinds of ingredients that can be cooked.

You must know that hot pot is not hot pot, and diners cannot do it themselves.

The store will cook whatever the customer eats. Every second counts in operation. Five seconds should be used for five seconds, and seven seconds should be used for seven seconds.

Feng Guangju had to come in person, and the heat was almost inedible.

Therefore, there are no copper pots in the Paodu Restaurant, only a large boiling pot on the stove.

What Feng Guangju actually means is that the nine different edible parts of sheep tripe, tripe kernel, tripe collar, tripe collar, mushroom head, tripe silk, tripe board, food letter, mushroom, gourd, are all eaten today. have.

As expected, the responses of these two people were indeed experts.

One person said, "Bring a bottle of Erguotou and a plate of peanuts. What are you going to pop? Then have a plate of all kinds. You watch the old and young serve it to us. Anyway, eat the fragrant ones first and then the crispy ones. Eat them hot or not cold." , Eat something new and don’t leave anything behind. If you try a plate, we will eat a plate. At the end of the meal, we will finish the meal, and you can give us each a hot sesame seed cake, and we will live together. "

Another person said, "No, no, don't come all. My teeth are not very good. I can't eat gourds, mushrooms, and tripe boards. I don't want these. Can you give me two plates of tripe boards... eh , let me ask one more question, your place should be full of sheep belly, not cows, right?"

Feng Guangju quickly made a guarantee.

"No, no, don't worry, master, my shop is all pure sheep belly. There are not even blinds, only loose pills."

"That's good, that's good. Beef tripe is thick and tough. How can you eat it just by boiling it with water? Sheep tripe is better. It's the way I like it."

After confirming that both of them were real experienced eaters, Feng Guangju became even more careful in his operations.

That really gave me a lot of energy.

Not long after, a plate of gourd burst out first, and he personally brought it over, "Here, while it's hot, you two can grind your teeth first..."

Each person had a chopstick, and then made a sound like eating a crispy cucumber.

Feng Guangju was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed and asked, "The smell should be okay, right?"

The response really pleased him.

"Okay, your lamb tripe, the ingredients are not only fresh, but also washed with pure cold water. And the frying temperature is also good, just right. The shopkeeper is very kind, it's so crispy! I know you are really popping up every plate. Yes, it’s not like they’re all put into a big pot together, then taken out and then divided.”

"Well, it's true that I didn't say it. This little ingredient is good. It doesn't include chive flowers and doesn't cover up the freshness of the lamb tripe. Shopkeeper, your bowl of ingredients is better than all the fried tripe on the market. The ones from other stores. , It’s just ignorance. If we eat yours, we won’t be able to go anywhere else..."

What does it mean to meet a good talent, and what does it mean to have a close friend in life?

As the owner of "Bangdu Feng", Feng Guangju has received such an evaluation, which is even better than earning 200 yuan more than him.

He didn't do business purely for money, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted that the guests eat a plate, and he made a plate with his own hands.

In his words, he would rather make the customers impatient and leave than let the people who queue up to come in be disappointed after eating his belly.

Therefore, once someone who knows how to cook encounters something that knows how to eat, his eyes will almost become slits with joy.

Feng Guangju was so happy that he simply gave away the wine and peanuts to the two guests for free and took the money.

And by exchanging names, he also knew that these two guests who knew how to eat were named Kang and Zhang.

When Feng Guangju went back to cooking with a smile, Master Kang also filled a glass of wine for Master Zhang and talked about their own private matters.

"Brother, are you not aggrieved by inviting you here to eat today?"

"What are you talking about? This is good. If I want to eat a big dish, I will make it myself. This is what I want to eat."

"That's fine, but honestly, what do you think of this environment?"

"Environment? What kind of environment do you need to have a good meal? This is not a polite way of eating. No matter whether you wear a suit or a long coat, as soon as you enter the store, take off your outer clothes, sit down and start eating. What you want is a free and easy atmosphere... …”

"Hey, this is also a kind of environment, to tell you the truth. As soon as I sit in a small shop like this, I feel energetic. The shop is small, lively, bustling with people, and the shopkeeper can do everything. Only the fireworks are here, and the drinking is enough. Son. Isn’t that right?”

"You...are you telling me something? Are you trying to play riddles with me?"

"No, no, let me tell you this. The life my apprentice arranged for me is really comfortable, but it's also really boring. I feel like I'm not old yet, and I don't want to eat and drink all day long. It’s getting dark, and I want to do some hard work. How about your brother giving us some advice and me opening a small shop?”

"Oh? You also want to open a shop? Isn't this tiring? Look at the shop owner. He is almost the only one who works on the stove in front of the hall."

"Hey, I don't do it to make money, I just do it to make people tired."

"Well, since you said that, let's talk about it. Do you have any specific ideas?"

"I haven't been working on the stove for a while, so I just want to gain popularity and relieve my boredom. I was thinking... What do you think I opened a big wine vat?"

"Big, big wine vat? I haven't heard this word in a while. Don't tell me, your idea is really interesting..."

At this time, Feng Guangju brought another plate. "You two, while it's hot, try me again..."

PS: My body temperature has returned to normal today, so I will post this first. I continue to take medicine, but this time I am really tortured. I hope everyone can take care of themselves. Being away from illness is happiness.
