Chapter 461 Three, six, nine and so on
What is the best way to encounter difficult problems?
That is to ask people with rich experience, or talents in their own minds.
Just as Sun Ce told his younger brother Sun Quan on his deathbed, if you are not determined by internal affairs, you can ask Zhang Zhao, and if you are not determined by external affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu.
No matter what Ning Weimin encountered, if he couldn't understand, he would of course have to ask his master Kang Shude.
This has almost become a kind of dependence instinct for him to travel through this life.
It is also a kind of spiritual comfort that can be comforted by the orphan's life experience.
It is a kind of happiness.
So because of the location selection problem, he was worried for two or three days, and then he left his figure without hesitation.
Of course, if you want others, you must express something.
What's more, the old man had a blow to him the first two days.
I complained that he wouldn't buy wine for him.
So this time, Ning Weimin called and asked Huang Xinyuan of the Sugar Industry Tobacco and Liquor Company to send some "Nan Huang Chen Shao" to the old man from their internal channels.
To be honest, high-quality southern rice wine is no longer as rare as before.
Because since 1981, after Beijing opened the wine market to other places, various wineries have brought their own wine to Beijing to explore the market.
And recently, it was a coincidence that the director of Jimo Huangjiu Factory brought his old wine to Beijing to activities everywhere, and was having a big banquet for guests, giving gifts everywhere, and promoting his products.
So Huang Xinyuan was not embarrassed at all. Not only did he quickly get him two small pots of Shaoxing Yuanhong for fifteen years according to Ning Weimin's needs.
He also gave him two jars of Jimo old wine for nothing, which was considered a partner for human relationships.
You should know that although Jimo Laojiu is a "Shandong Huang" that Kang Shude doesn't like much.
But this wine has a long history, which can be traced back to the Warring States Period and was also praised by generations of emperors.
In addition, the packaging of the two jars of wine is very exquisite, and it actually makes the shape of a second dragon spitting beads, which is obviously a high-end product.
When Ning Weimin went to get the wine, he knew that the taste of this wine must be very good, and it should be far better than ordinary southern rice wine.
So he is very proud of his face when he comes home.
As expected, Kang Shude saw that his apprentice brought back such high-end rice wine, which together amounted to ten liters.
I was so happy that I couldn't hide my wrinkles, and I didn't dislike Jimo Laojiu as "Shandong Yellow", and I praised Ning Weimin for being determined.
In this way, when giving advice to the apprentice, the old man was particularly motivated and seemed to be very excited.
"Okay, I'll talk to you for a while today. But before I talk, I have to ask you something. Do you know that when we talk on weekdays, people say that we go out for dinner, so why do we always say "going out" to the restaurant?"
The old man did not go straight to the point, but asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with Ning Weimin's troubles.
Needless to say, Ning Weimin was a little confused when he emphasized the pronunciation.
He really doesn't know the answer.
Second, I couldn't understand why the master had to go around this circle, so I could only shake my head.
The old man smiled slightly with a look of "I know".
Only then did the teaching mode officially start and completely opened up the conversation.
"In our Beijing dialect, it is quite particular. Almost every word has a clear distinction and cannot be used incorrectly. To be honest, the word "you" should be called "you", and the word "he" should be called "无", and the word "无" should be called "无" and "you" have a corresponding correspondence to "you" and "they"."
"Then it is the same if you describe the place you go. For example, if you usually say "going" where you want to be, it is solemn and formal. Going to school, going to work, and going to Chang'an Street, this is OK. If you want to say "go", it will be a sense of equal ease. It's like going to a park, a shop, or a cinema."
"By the same, let's talk about the word "xia" in "xia" in "xia" and then you will understand, right? This is actually the same as "Qianlong went to Jiangnan". With the meaning of self-reliance, it can reflect a person's psychological state."
"Of course there is an exception, that is, when customers mention the specific store name. In order to show their respect for the store and their humility, they will say that they will go to Xiaochan, go to fried liver, go to Xiamiju, go to Xinmin Restaurant, go to the door frame alley..."
Ning Weimin then suddenly realized and felt emotionless.
"Hey, this is really the case. If you don't say it, I've never thought about it. It seems that our Beijing dialect is really too particular, and the details are enough to make people think about it. But... what does this paragraph have to do with my affairs? I'm asking you about the location of the restaurant?"
Seeing Ning Weimin appearing confused, the old man wanted to give him a "brain".
"You are called eating crabs alive, you are confused and anxious. Why don't you think about it? Why never say "going to a restaurant, going to a restaurant" and "going to a restaurant"?"
"Ouch!" Ning Weimin blinked, "You mean..."
The old man was too lazy to wait for his apprentice to ask, so he simply told the answer directly.
"I mean, eating is not a low-key thing. The reason why the words are used is of course mainly because the past 'curry shop' and 'diligent movement' are now called 'food industry', and they also have to be divided into different levels."
"There are highs and there are lows, and there are bigs and there are smalls. Not to mention that each has its own business characteristics. From the name, you can tell that highs and low-end products are like halls, buildings, residences, vegetarians, numbers, and records. People in the past could know what occasions were, what clothes should be worn when they were eating, and what styles should be made when they went there."
"The same goes for those who trade together. If you want to choose a suitable place for trading, of course you have to figure out the difference and then consider the location based on your own conditions. You can't be a fool, isn't that true?"
Ning Weimin was now looking for the excitement that was involved and quickly poured a cup of tea for his master.
"Master, you are right. Otherwise, why do you say that ginger is still spicy? Then take a sip first and then tell me slowly."
Kang Shude was also proud now. He took a sip and a radiant mouth began to talk.
"Then, let's go from simple to traditional Chinese. Let's first talk about what is the smallest stall in all the places where you eat. What is it? Rice stalls. There are two types: one fixed and the other mobile."
"In the past, sheep head horse, tea soup, cake cut king, small intestine, wonton hou, pie week, bean juice, cheese Wei, tofu brain white, all of them were fixed rice stalls. They were all in the market, temple fairs and streets all year round. And they continued to improve their skills, gradually retaining more and more repeat customers, so they gained great fame and set off their signatures."
"Whether there is no fixed place, purely mobile is not as good as the trend. They cannot make their own signs. They often go around the streets for life, and many people can even earn some hard money to earn night. For example, those who sell hard noodles, roast sweet potatoes, smoked fish, and donkey meat are all like this."
"Anyway, let's say that, whether it's fixed or mobile, this is the level of folk snacks. You can do it without a house, a pickup, a cart, or even a small box, and a basket on your arm. You are the bottom-level little buyer."
"If it is a better business unit that is bigger than a restaurant stall, it is a restaurant shop. This is still the level of serving the working people, because most of them are Lianjia stores (front and back, or store-to-store) or husband-and-wife stores that are run by one family. The business content is common and the customers are received."
"Of course, due to different sizes of houses and different craftsmanship levels, the restaurants naturally have different sizes. Small restaurants are mostly storefront rooms, and the store is narrow and can only be placed on a few dining tables. Some stoves can only be set outside the door. Such small shops specialize in pasta, fried cakes, fried noodles, buns, dumplings, pies, stewed cakes, screws, etc. There are only some cold dishes for serving wine, such as pine flowers, peanuts, shredded belly, pork liver, pig ears, shredded tofu, etc."
"Although the business area of medium-sized restaurants is larger, it just doesn't have to put the stove at the door. Compared with small restaurants, the biggest difference is that there is a special kitchen, and there are also stir-frying dishes. Although the number of stir-frying dishes is usually not large, it is usually just fried shredded pork, sauerkraut, and three kinds of fried pork, spread yellow vegetables, vinegar and cabbage. The soup is only two types of hot and sour soup and fruit soup. The taste is very salty and the purpose is only to serve the meal. However, the staple food can add a few more soup noodles, fried noodles, and braised noodles, and also cook dumplings and wontons."
(Guer soup, egg flower soup, people in the capital have been domineering because of eunuchs since the Ming Dynasty and are taboo about the title of eggs.)
"The large restaurants have more equipment and the store is slightly wider. Although the furniture is rough, they are all white tables and chairs, coarse porcelain dishes, and bamboo chopsticks. But half of them can have large tables, which can be served for ten or eight people to eat together. The changes in cooking are much more than medium restaurants, but not too big. The main difference is that there are many types of staple foods. Not only are there pancakes, steamed buns, flower rolls, lazi dragons, noodles, buns, dumplings, wontons, pie, pot stickers, raw fried bread, sesame cakes, fire roasts, porridge, and even tea soup."
"In addition, according to the business model and store space, such as cut-out shops, steamed bun shops, baked cake shops, porridge shops, fried goods shops, and box shops that sell cooked meat should also belong to the category of restaurants. Therefore, at this medium and low level, the number of buying and selling fonts is almost the main ones of "大" and "大". For example, Zhangji Restaurant, Liji Restaurant, and Tianfuhao, Baikui Laohao, all of which sell stew maize, Quanju Liu, who sells vegetarian dishes, and Puwufang who moves to Beijing in Shanghai are all at this level..."
Kang Shude was talking casually, but Ning Weimin couldn't help but scream.
"No, old man, do you think Tianfuhao is the same as Baikui's old man and it is also a small restaurant? Such a famous time-honored brand..."
And his doubts made the old man unhappy.
The old man blew his beard and stared at him, and he became angry.
"What are you saying? It's so strange! Tell you that it's famous, but this is different from the management method and level. Are the Beijing snacks I just mentioned not famous? Which one is not a time-honored brand? But it should be a rice stall or a rice stall."
"Bai Kui has a special feature. It started with a mutton shop and was made into a little bit. But the font size of the restaurant is called "Dong Guangshun". People in the capital don't recognize it. Because Bai Kui's roasted mutton is famous, it has always been called "Bai Kui". I gradually forgot the font size of "Dong Guangshun".
"To put it bluntly, Bianyifang and 'Judequan' are the same. They both started with small chicken and duck shops that used to sell rice seats, and later started restaurants. How can you know the real rare things? I want to tell you that they can scare you! The current Bianyifang is fake at all, and it is used to make the real ones, and it is replaced by fakes and real ones. Do you believe it?"
This is really a shocking word. Sure enough, Ning Weimin almost jumped out of the chair.
"Ah? Master, you are not teasing me!"
"Look, don't believe it, right? If you don't believe it, just ask the people in the capital. Everyone knows that the real old shop in Bianyifang is in Mishi Hutong. Later, because the transaction was too popular and it was coveted, seven or eight imitations emerged. These shops not only poached people from Bianyifang, but also replaced the word "yi" in "Bianyifang" with the "meaning" of "Bianyifang" in order to make the fake and the real thing. In the end, it really became. The authentic Mishi Hutong old shop went bankrupt, and the several opened by the apprentices merged after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which led to the Bianyifang today."
The old man calmly revealed the old things from that year, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be covered.
For nothing else, it’s just a matter of using your knowledge and age to crush the raw melon seeds.
Take a good look at the apprentice's appearance with her mouth wide open like a "toad spitting honey".
This is also a joy.
(The old news about Bai Kui's old names and Bianyifang originated from the "Old Shops in the Capital" written by Wang Yongbin, and was based on the memories of old employees of Bianyifang and cooking technician Su Dehai and others)
PS: The legality of the word "you" has always been a controversial issue in Chinese. Book friends always use this issue to pick it up. In fact, whether it is correct or not, it is a professional issue of linguists. It is not important to this novel, because academic issues only represent right or wrong, which proves that this is a phenomenon in life, otherwise there will be no controversy.
The indisputable fact is that since the 1930s, "you" has been widely used in the lives of Beijingers, and this word also appeared in the works of many writers back then. It was not until the 1990s that the frequency of use of "you" began to decrease year by year. The usage of "you" and "you" have disappeared earlier in the lives of Beijingers.
This is probably related to the accelerated pace of people in the new society, the accelerated flow of people, and the need to simplify red tape.
The purpose of this book is actually to meet a more realistic historical situation and living environment, so it is very appropriate to use "you". If those "academic experts" have any opinions, it is like people only allowing dialogue in official language and writing in printed form. It is ridiculous to deny that people's spoken language and handwriting in life. Is it just because crime is illegal, so don't admit that this is a part of real life?
This issue is particularly clarified here. Please do not pick on it and publish relevant academic opinions.
