In the fall of 1993, there was a lot of traffic on the road in Taipei. Chef Lao Zhu of the Grand Hotel was busy preparing for a family dinner on Sunday night at his home on Heping East Road. His wife had long since passed away and he was alone with his three daughters, who are now grown up. Adults, with different personalities, each have their own concerns and jobs. Although the family lives together, there is less intimacy and warmth between the family members. Only the family dinner time every Sunday night maintains the harmony of the family.
Lao Zhu grabbed a fish from the water tank, inserted a pair of chopsticks from the mouth of the fish, removed the scales and internal organs, removed the big bones and opened a knife, dipped it in flour and dipped it in hot oil, put the oil pan on the fire, and a squirrel fish was completed in one go. Afterwards, there are pork meat, chicken wings, hot double crisp, crab noodle soup dumplings, and the methodical knife work is amazing. There is no doubt about the identity of the famous chef. There are pictures of Lao Zhu and celebrities from all walks of life on the wall. In the black and white photo, the young Lao Zhu is dressed as a chef. In the color photo, he changed to a suit shirt, which shows that his fame is growing.
At this time, the phone rang, and the other side mentioned that the fish sent by Lao Zhu should be braised. Lao Zhu suggested that the good fish should be steamed, and that salt should not be applied to the fish, as it would absorb the water, so it should be placed on the side of the plate by the fire. Evaporated, half the words were said, there was something that embarrassed Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu sighed that if he didn't say it today, he would not say it until when.
Lao Zhu's eldest daughter, Jia Zhen, was listening to holy Christian songs on the bus to the church, when the Walkman suddenly made a sound of a cassette tape, which seemed to herald some episodes in her peaceful life.
The second daughter, Jiaqian, is an executive of the airline. She is working overtime in her large office, operating the computer to handle the work. At this time, a friend called her to ask her to meet and chat after get off work. She said that she had already made an appointment with Raymond, and her friend laughed badly. It turned out that Lei Meng was Jia Qian's ex-boyfriend, and after the breakup, the two would meet each other from time to time. After the cloudy rain, Raymond saw that Jiaqian was a little tired. Jiaqian said that she had too much work and had recently used her savings to buy a house, but she thought it was worth it when she thought about leaving home. Raymond said that the two often quarreled when they were together, and Jiaqian also said that the relationship is much easier now. Raymond invites Jia Qian to his gallery to see a painting by a female artist on display, and Jia Qian has to go home for Sunday dinner.
The third daughter, Jia Ning, is still studying and will go to work in a fast food restaurant when she has no classes. She needs to go home for dinner tonight, but her colleague Xiao Zhizhi forgot to take the class that she promised to take her place. Now her boyfriend Zhong Guolun is in the store When she was waiting for her to get off work, she said that she didn't like her boyfriend and wanted to torture him. Jia Ning said that the class on her behalf could just make Zhong Guolun wait for one more hour, and the two smiled at each other. Jia Ning came out of the store after get off work and saw Zhong Guolun. After introducing himself, he told him that Xiao Zhizhi needed to get off work an hour later. Zhong Guolun was so angry that he dropped the book in his hand. Jia Ning quickly apologized to him, explaining that it was because of his own reasons. Zhong Guolun complained, but he had no choice but to continue reading. Jia Ning asked him what book he was reading, and Zhong Guolun answered without looking up. After getting the answer, Jia Ning said bye to him, and after walking a few steps, he looked back at him and smiled. left.
The old Zhu at home has almost finished the dishes. There is a portrait of his wife on the wall, and his appearance is very similar to Jia Qian. The three daughters all rushed home at this time. Sister Zhang from the church who sent Jiazhen home mentioned that Brother Cai of the church likes Jiazhen's voice, but Jiazhen said she didn't want others to only like her voice.
The dinner at the Zhu family began. Jiazhen prayed alone, and the others were silent, except for the clear voice of the neighbor singing outside the window. Lao Zhu was about to talk about the embarrassing thing, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Jia Qian across the table frowning after tasting shark fins, but when Lao Zhu asked her, he didn't dare to say anything. It might be because of the deterioration of Lao Zhu's sense of taste, Lao Zhu got up angrily and went into the kitchen. Jiazhen talked about her friend Jin Feng who called from the United States to say that her mother, Aunt Liang, was coming back from the United States. Jia Ning said that Aunt Liang was difficult to deal with and was an old witch. Jia Zhen said that she quarreled with Jin Feng all day in the United States, while Jia Qian said When Aunt Liang came back, she could help Jinrong bring her daughter Shanshan, and chat with Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu, who came out with the vegetables, was very upset when he heard this, saying that it was not enough to serve the three of you, and he had to chat with others. The daughter was suddenly quiet.
Lao Zhu spoke again, and Jiaqian made a move at the beginning. When he asked what was going on, Jiaqian announced that she was buying a house. Lao Zhu was unhappy, but said that it was fine. The room, tentatively said that when it was time to move out, Lao Zhu did not answer, the phone rang suddenly, it turned out that there was a problem with the banquet at the Yuanshan Hotel tonight, Lao Zhu immediately got up and rushed to the door, and turned back to remind that there was still in the kitchen. Crab noodle soup dumplings, the three daughters did not make a sound, they seemed to be used to it.
Lao Zhu came to the Yuanshan Hotel, strode into the back kitchen, everyone said hello, the manager was sweating profusely, and finally felt relieved when he saw him coming, and helped him put on the chef's uniform. Lao Zhu asked where Lao Wen was, and his friend Lao Wen replied that he was in a mess, put on glasses for him, and the manager showed Lao Zhu with the menu in his hand. After trying it, Lao Wen frowned and nodded again. Lao Zhu instructed others to cook the dish accordingly. After serving, the manager nodded when he saw the guests finished eating, and heaved a sigh of relief.
After the three sisters had dinner, they were cleaning up the many dishes they couldn't finish, while chatting about the house that Jiaqian had bought. Jiaqian felt that her father had not liked her recently, and it was a good thing to move out. Jiazhen thought that she didn't understand her father. People argued a few words. Jiazhen came to the kitchen and sighed when she saw the whole cage of soup dumplings. At this time, Jia Ning shouted that Sister Jin Rong was coming, and Jia Zhen came out to chat with Jin Rong. After frying, he and Jia Ning went to use the computer to paint, and he also said that he wanted to paint Grandpa Zhu.
Jiazhen and Jinrong came to the yard, ate melon seeds, and chatted about Jinfeng in the United States and Aunt Liang who was about to return to China. Jinrong said that her mother would be with her sooner or later, and Jiazhen also said that her father would also be with her in the future. Hers, Jin Rong said that Lao Zhu would take care of himself and others, much better than her mother, but Jia Zhen said that Lao Zhu also needed someone to coax him, and felt that Sunday's dinner would not last long. At this time, Shanshan came over with the printed portrait of Lao Zhu and showed it to Jinrong. Jinrong also said that they should go home, and Jiazhen was going to bring them soup buns. Jinrong said that she was very embarrassed, but Jiazhen did not think that I mean, Jinrong is like the fourth daughter of their family, Shanshan is like a granddaughter, and Jinrong looks at Shanshan with something on her mind.
In the back kitchen of the hotel, Lao Zhu and Lao Wen were sitting and drinking together. Lao Wen felt that Jiazhen and Lao Zhu would not be able to marry him for the rest of their lives, unless Lao Zhu found a way to marry her, Lao Zhu sighed and said that Jiazhen's boyfriend had dumped After seeing her, she never looked at other men again. The two talked about Jiaqian again. Lao Wen said that he knew Jiaqian better than Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu also said that he didn't know several children. Now that his sense of taste has deteriorated, he has to rely on Lao Wen to make good dishes. Lao Wen said that Lao Zhu is like Bedo. Fen, a good voice is not in your ears, a good taste is not in your mouth, and a good woman is somewhere. The two changed their clothes, and in the corridor, Lao Zhu talked about the desire of eating and drinking, and Lao Wen changed the subject and asked Lao Zhu to write down his good cooking skills, lest Lao Zhu suddenly wipe it away, and Lao Zhu said go. Yours, the two walked forward with a smile on their shoulders.
Lao Zhu, who got up early to exercise the next day, woke up Jia Ning and went to Jiazhen's house, and found that she had already gone out, and went to call Jia Qian again. Jia Qian, who was sleeping on the table, was woken up and quarreled with Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu went out for a run. , Halfway through, I met Shanshan who was waiting for the bus at the bus stop. She was eating the soup bag from last night. Lao Zhu asked her why she didn't bring a bento. Shanshan took out a piece of money and said it was here. Lao Zhu looked at Shanshan who squeezed into the bus, thinking.
In the classroom, Jiazhen, a chemistry teacher, was teaching a lesson. The students in the audience were passing notes. Suddenly a volleyball flew in. Jiazhen threw the ball back downstairs. The PE teacher, Zhou Mingdao, was new here. , looks very gentleman and dashing. When Jiazhen returned to the classroom, she found the students' little gestures. It turned out that the monitor received the love letter. Jiazhen squeezed it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Jia Qian, the deputy director of the airline, finished the report at the meeting. The general manager introduced Li Kai, a master negotiator who came to support. Li Kai looked sleepy and apologized for the delay of the plane. joke.
After class, Jiazhen saw that Mingdao's arm was injured last week on the playground, and trot over to ask about the situation. Later, she was listening to music with headphones at the school gate and waiting for the bus, and she met Zhou Mingdao who was driving a motorcycle to talk to her. Zhou Mingdao said a few words to her through the headphones before she reacted, took off the headphones, and the two exchanged a few words. Sentence, Jiazhen watched him gallop away.
At the same time, Lao Zhu came to school with the bento he made for Shanshan, and told Shanshan that he didn't have enough time, so he only made a few side dishes such as Wuxi spare ribs, crab meat, cabbage, green beans, shrimp, bitter gourd and spare ribs. Eat them while it's hot. The envious classmates formed a group, and Lao Zhu smiled all over his face.
Jia Ning, who was getting off work, saw Zhong Guolun across the road with a smile on his face, trotted over and chatted with him with a smile, and then he learned that Xiao Zhizhi, who had been waiting, had left work an hour ago. The two came to the food stall to talk, Zhong Guolun was very angry, but the unintentional question touched Jia Ning's heartstrings.
Old Zhu was concentrating on looking up the prescription for nourishing the kidney. At night, the cat called Chun annoyed Jia Zhen, who was correcting her homework in the next room. She got up and drove away from the window. When she saw this, Jia Qian came over with the clothes that Lao Zhu had misclassified. The teasing cat is at least very happy, and I hope that my sister will not be heartbroken all the time. Jiazhen becomes cold and says that it is none of Jiaqian's business to find a boyfriend or not.
The next day, Lao Zhu made an agreement with Shanshan to make a lunch for her every day on the way to school, and if Jin Rong also made a lunch for Shanshan, it would be eaten by Lao Zhu.
The general manager of the company privately told him to recommend Jia Qian to take over the position in Amsterdam. After get off work, Jia Qian, who was excited, bought a lot of food and came to Raymond, and cooked many dishes, including the watercress fish that Lao Wen taught her to make, saying that she likes to cook it. It's a pity that kung fu dishes can't be made at home. Cooking in Lao Zhu's kitchen Lao Zhu will stop her. She recalled the fun in the kitchen when she was a child, with emotion. At this time, Lao Wen in the kitchen suddenly fainted, and Jia Qian rushed to the hospital. Lao Wen was very happy to see her and talked about her childhood. Jia Qian, who likes to cook, was kicked out of the kitchen by her father to study, saying that it was for the sake of She is good, but Jiaqian said that no one asked her if she would accept this love. Lao Wen persuaded him, and said that Lao Zhu held back too many worries, and if he went to the hospital in the future, it would be a big problem.
In the heavy rain, a taxi stopped downstairs at Jin Rong's house. Jin Rong led her mother out of the car. The old lady was chattering, and Jin Rong was very helpless. (Gu Yalei really played this old lady like an old witch, I recommend watching the original film. The annoying Aunt Liang is definitely a major reason for Jinrong's divorce)
After get off work, Xiao Zhizhi told Jia Ning that Zhong Guolun had not looked for her for a week. She found that she really loved Zhong Guolun and just wanted to chase him harder. When she asked Jia Ning what to do, Jia Ning kept silent.
Jiaqian and Li Kai, who were working overtime in the company together, chatted over wine. Li Kai was originally a graduate of Chengda University's Department of Chemistry. Jiaqian asked why he joined the airline. Thinking of joining this industry, Li Kai said yes with a smile.
Jiazhen found a love letter with the lyrics of a love song on her desk (it was inferred from the calendar on the desk that the movie should have been shot in the fall of 1993), and then came to the corridor and looked down at the playground, just as Zhou Mingdao saw her facing her. With a wave of her hand, Jiazhen turned around and her breathing quickened.
Jia Ning, who was off work, saw Zhong Guolun outside the store and teased him for self-abuse again, but he said that he was here to wait for Jia Ning. Jia Ning was at a loss, and then followed him to his real estate business. In a building where he lived alone, under the red light of the photo-processing darkroom, Zhong Guolun held Jia Ning's hand.
Jiazhen, who was waiting for the bus on the side of the road, didn't wear headphones this time, and stared blankly at Zhou Mingdao riding a motorcycle but speeding away.
Jiaqian brought Raymond to the downstairs of the house she bought, but learned that the house was an illegal building. She was very depressed. Raymond sent her to the hospital. Old Wen, who she wanted to visit, disregarded the doctor's request and was discharged. On the way to find the elevator, Qian saw Lao Zhu walking into a ward wearing a hospital suit. She froze in place. After Lao Zhu came out of the ward, she went over to ask and found out that it was the cardiac examination department. She came to the corridor in front of the elevator and looked at Lao Zhu who walked into the elevator alone, covering her face and crying.
On Sunday morning, Lao Zhu went to wake up his daughters before running as usual. After Jia Ning was woken up, he was thoughtful. With their heads in a trance, the two said to each other early, Jia Qian looked at Lao Zhu, who turned and left, and sighed in a low voice.
Lao Zhu, who was preparing dinner, put the chopsticks into the fish's mouth, but stopped his hand to pat the chopsticks and made a steamed fish. (Last time I made pine nuts for dinner on Sunday, but this time I hesitated. I don’t know why. I have a guess. I’ll put it at the end. We can discuss it.) Facing Aunt Liang's tragic situation every day, both Lao Zhu and Jia Qian laughed out loud, but Jia Qian looked solemn and said that she had something to announce. Lao Zhu bluntly said that she already knew about her house and indicated that she could still continue at home. Stay, Jia Qian is speechless. After dinner, Jia Qian saw Lao Zhu who was washing dishes pressing his forehead, and hesitantly asked a question, but Lao Zhu didn't appreciate it and snorted. At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Lao Zhu took off his apron and opened the door.
Lao Zhu welcomed Jin Rong Shanshan and Aunt Liang into the house with an umbrella. Aunt Liang kept talking and spoke Changsha dialect to the three sisters of the Zhu family. Lao Zhu sat with her. It was very quiet on the sofa, she talked about the matter in the United States again, picked up the cigarette, Lao Zhu took her lighter to help her light it, the three sisters watched in the corridor, Jia Qian whispered an old witch.
Jiazhen has been receiving love letters incessantly recently, and she is uneasy. She looks around the male teachers in the office and ruled out the possibility one by one. After the invigilator, Jiazhen heard a burst of singing in the corridor, and one of the lyrics happened to appear in the love letter. She came to the auditorium where the staff birthday party was being held and found that Zhou Mingdao on the stage was singing Zhou Huajian's new classic song "Let's Go" the year before. I am happy and let me worry", after he finished singing, he ordered Jiazhen to go on stage to continue singing, and Jiazhen sang a song "The True Meaning of Love" (one of the lyrics is "Love is not arrogant, not arrogant, not shy." ), Zhou Mingdao nodded repeatedly in the audience. After school, at the gate of the school, Zhou Mingdao asked Jiazhen to go on an outing to the volleyball team next week, let her think about it, and let Hou gallop away.
Jia Ning on the bus was stunned, a pregnant woman came over, and she quickly gave up her seat.
Jia Qian, who was in front of the computer, asked Li Kai, who was lying on the ground, a few words about work. Li Kai did not respond. When she got closer, she realized that he was playing games. Li Kai asked her if she had no time to help. Li Kai's son bought toys. During the chat, Li Kai mentioned that he graduated from Chengda University. Jiaqian reacted and confirmed that he went to the United States after graduating from the Chemistry Department of Chengda University.
As soon as Lao Zhu left the door with the bento for Shanshan, Jin Rong stopped him. The two laughed and chatted. It turned out that Jin Rong had already discovered that Lao Zhu helped Shanshan make the bento, and asked Lao Zhu not to let Shanshan know about it. , Jinrong felt that Shanshan would like to share a little secret with Lao Zhu. After saying that, Jinrong said goodbye to Lao Zhu, trotted away, and Lao Zhu turned his head and entered the house. (Seeing this, my idol grandmother Niang Niang found that things are not simple)
In the fast food restaurant, Xiao Zhizhi cried and told Jia Ning that she was broken up by Zhong Guolun. Jia Ning didn’t dare to look directly, and whispered that she would not approach Zhong Guolun if she knew about it earlier. Chi heard the words with resentment.
On Sunday night again, the neighbors continued to sing as usual. In the yard, Jia Ning hesitated and seemed to have something to say to Lao Zhu, who was watching the roast duck, but Lao Zhu asked her to invite her sisters to dinner. At the dinner table, Jia Zhen complained that the neighbors were too noisy, while Jia Qian said that they relied on eating to connect with each other, while the neighbors relied on singing. The four of them ate in silence. Jia Ning suddenly said something was announced, and then said that she was in love with a boy and planned to move to his house, but the main reason was that she was pregnant.
At the entrance of Zhu's house, Guo Lun loaded Jia Ning's luggage into the taxi, shook hands with Lao Zhu, and Jia Ning got into the taxi with him.
After the meal, Lao Zhu went to the bathroom alone to be quiet. Jia Qian, who was washing dishes at home, asked Jia Zhen where Lao Zhu had gone. Jia Zhen said that she had probably gone to Aunt Liang’s house, and Jia Qian carefully asked about her college boyfriend. His name was confirmed to be Li Kai. The two talked about their feelings for each other, Jiazhen broke the plate in excitement, and the two who expressed their inner feelings finally broke the knot.
In the Zhu family, Aunt Liang, who came to visit, was chatting, and Lao Zhu was humming. Then Lao Zhu went to the bathroom to calm down.
The local personnel appointment finally took effect, and colleagues wished Jiaqian one after another. That night, Jiaqian and Li Kai finished their work in the darkened office. The two of them were burning firewood and couldn't help themselves. They hugged each other fiercely and lay down on the table. Li Kai called Jiaqian's name, and Jiaqian suddenly woke up. He asked Li Kai if she really forgot her eldest sister Zhu Jiazhen. He hurt Jiazhen so deeply during college. As a result, Li Kai recalled that Jiazhen was Jinfeng's friend, and Jinfeng was his girlfriend. Jiaqian felt that Jiazhen had fabricated everything, and her heart was in chaos. She rushed to Lei Meng’s house and wanted to chat with him, but Lei Meng opened the door with his upper body naked. A woman’s voice came from the room. He apologized to Jia Qian and said that tomorrow give her a call.
When Lao Wen from the back kitchen of the hotel returned, all the cooks lined up to applaud. Lao Wen waved his hand and let everyone go to work. After speaking, he slowly walked to the chair and sat down, closing his eyes. A cook told him not to, and took his breath.
When Jiaqian came home, Lao Zhu clenched his fists on the sofa, lowered his head, his face full of sadness, Jiazhen sobbed in a low voice, and told Jiaqian that Uncle Wen was gone.
Lao Zhu and Jiaqian placed the portrait and ashes of Lao Wen in the mourning hall. The two came to the pavilion outside the cemetery. Jiaqian held an umbrella, and Lao Zhu was sobbing in the face of the bitter wind and rain. Back home, Lao Zhu sat at the dining table, Jiaqian made his favorite high mountain tea, Lao Zhu just wanted to drink boiled water, and said that his sense of taste was dead (there was no Lao Wen to help him taste it again). Jiaqian came to the kitchen to pour boiled water, and looked at the tools and ingredients full of bitterness.
Jiazhen was flipping through her love letter on the bed, and the neighbors were singing nonstop outside the window. She got up and went to the living room, moved a loudspeaker to the window, turned the volume to maximum, and played the church song to the neighbors. During the singing, she came to school with heavy makeup and bright clothes, and loudly asked the person who wrote the love letter to stand up on the radio station on the playground. It turned out that the love letters were written by the monitor and a few classmates in order to retaliate for the prank. Zhou Mingdao came to the door of the classroom and said to the students who were punished that the joke was too much, and then entered the classroom to comfort Jiazhen who was crying against the blackboard. , Jiazhen turned around and leaned into his arms, then reached out to the back of Ming Dao's head and kissed it. Ming Dao opened his eyes wide and slowly closed them again.
Raymond asked Jiaqian to meet at the gallery that day. He talked about marrying Sophia (the female painter who was doing art exhibitions in his gallery before), and also said that he could maintain the current relationship with Jiaqian, and Saying that he is free now, there is an office behind the gallery, Jia Qian hurriedly left, she came outside and couldn't help but vomited against the pillar.
When he returned home, Jia Qian saw that the manager of the hotel was persuading Lao Zhu not to retire and continue to sit in office. Lao Zhu did not agree. The manager asked Jia Qian to help persuade him, while Jia Qian said that Lao Zhu would decide by himself.
Aunt Liang of Jinrong's family peeled and ate oranges and tangerines (the tangerines reduce phlegm and relieve cough, it is quite suitable for her to smoke and eat, both are correct), and chatted with Jinrong, saying that Lao Zhu is a good person, although he doesn't talk much, but Having a good chat with her (...), Jin Rong turned around and glanced at her.
On Sunday again, Lao Zhu on the dining table held an axe and slammed the "rich earth plastic chicken", this time the fish on the table was sliced and placed in a circle, with the fish head up and the fish tail in the middle (this is not a rotten country). Do famous dishes look up at the stars? This is not). Jiazhen timidly said that she wanted to announce something to everyone, just like Jia Ning, Jia Qian thought she was pregnant too, Jiazhen hurriedly said no, but was too embarrassed to say it, stood up and said they couldn't wait , he wants, she is a believer again, they have asked the pastor to notarize it in the morning, and now Mingdao is waiting outside, she brought Mingdao in and introduced it to her family. Lao Zhu and Jiaqian took Jiazhen to the door. Jiazhen, who stepped on Mingdao's motorcycle, turned back in tears and waved goodbye, and the motorcycle galloped away (doing something shy). Lao Zhu and Jia Qian each held their hands and stood outside the door silently.
The next morning, Lao Zhu came to Jiaqian's room, looked at her sleeping, leaned down slowly, patted her shoulder lightly, and called her in a low voice. Seeing that she didn't respond, Lao Zhu stood up straight and increased the volume. After shouting, Jia Qian woke up, and Lao Zhu left that you're going to be late and turned away. Jiaqian went to Jiazhen's room after washing up. Lao Zhu was helping Jiazhen to pack her things. Jiaqian said that she liked this room the most since she was a child. Lao Zhu said that he went to Jinrong's house yesterday to tell Aunt Liang about Jiazhen. Aunt Liang said This room is suitable for a bicycle. Jiaqian told Lao Zhu not to move things by himself. When she came back to move, Lao Zhu smiled comfortably.
In the evening, Aunt Liang came to visit again, and it was another long talk about the affairs of the children. She also grabbed Lao Zhu's hand and patted him on the chest to persuade him to think more about himself. Lao Zhu went to the bathroom again to let the master relax his muscles and bones.
Jiazhen, who brought Mingdao back with luggage, chatted with Jiaqian in the yard. Jiaqian said that Aunt Liang came to chat with Lao Zhu every night in the past few days, and asked Jiazhen how she would marry Mingdao, who was not a Christian. Jiazhen told him Yes, Jia Qian pursed her lips.
Jiaqian asked Li Kai to chat in a teahouse. She said that although she had the opportunity to go to work in Amsterdam, she wanted to stay with her father because of so many things happening at home. Couples, otherwise they would lose a good friend. The two shook hands and agreed to be good friends, but their smiles were not so calm.
On Saturday night, Jiaqian went to Jianing's house to see her. Jianing's belly was getting bigger and bigger. The two talked about their childhood. Jiaqian said that she was leaving and went to buy Sunday's food with Lao Zhu. Jianing asked. Why did Lao Zhu send an invitation letter this Sunday dinner? Jia Qian said he had something to announce, and the two guessed it was about him and Aunt Liang.
The next afternoon, Jiazhen sat on Ming Dao's galloping motorcycle, hugged him tightly against his back, her skirt fluttered, revealing her thighs (this may suggest that she is a married woman and no longer dresses as conservatively as she did before marriage). Jia Ning and Guo Lun were grooming themselves at home, preparing for the banquet. Jin Rong's mother and daughter are also ready to go. When he arrived at Zhu's house, Lao Zhu was in a hurry in the kitchen, overturned the wok, swiped his hand to carve the wax gourd, picked up the big knife with his back and chopped the wax gourd. Shouting and pointing, the scene is very chaotic. Jiaqian opened the door to welcome the three of Jinrong. Aunt Liang, who was wearing a cheongsam, gave Lao Zhu a tie and wine. Jiaqian took it and said a few words of courtesy. People take their seats.
Before moving the chopsticks, Jiazhen prayed alone as usual, and then Lao Zhu raised the glass to toast to everyone, and Aunt Liang, who was sitting on the right of Lao Zhu, also invited everyone to start, and everyone feasted. Lao Zhu brought the winter melon soup (the winter melon that could not be carved), and Aunt Liang admired Lao Zhu's craftsmanship, and then poured wine for him. Old Zhu Yiyi toasted with his daughter and son-in-law, and Aunt Liang whispered to persuade him to drink less (there is really a big thing to say, he had already messed up in the kitchen before, and now he has to borrow wine to strengthen his courage). Lao Zhu cleared his throat, stood up, and said that it is fate that everyone can get together for dinner. Aunt Liang smiled and said to help that although we are not a family, we are as close as a family. A family, then there is nothing to say. I have a few words in my heart for a long time. The reason why I don’t say it is not because I want to hide something. I just feel that I don’t want my personal affairs to affect my family and become a kind of Burden, in fact, the family lives under one roof, and they can still live their own lives, but the kind of scruples that arise from the heart is the meaning of a home. Now, I just don’t want to make compromises. I can’t do anything in my life. I can’t think of cooking. I gather all the ingredients before cooking. Of course, it’s ups and downs in my mouth. Now, let’s talk about it after dinner.” Lao Zhu sat down, and his daughters asked him to speak, and Aunt Liang also persuaded him to say something, the dishes were cold (Neihan, you are getting cold too 2333). Old Zhu slammed the table, stood up and said, this house has a lot of old memories for him, but now that he is almost gone, he decided to sell it. He found a very good house in Guandu, and he can move in within a month. Aunt Liang was overjoyed, saying that the new house had a new look, and she shyly lowered her head. Lao Zhu poured Aunt Liang a glass of wine, she raised the glass, and Lao Zhu said: "Aunt Liang, I really didn't take good care of Jin Rong, but I can swear to God, as long as my Lao Zhu has a breath, I will Never let their mother and daughter starve and freeze, our family will always welcome you to come and play." After speaking, he took out a document from his suit jacket and said, "This is the health examination report I did last month, please Aunt Liang has fulfilled us, and I will do it first as a respect." Aunt Liang still held up the glass blankly, Jiazhen said that Lao Zhu was drunk, Lao Zhu asked Jin Rong to speak, and Jin Rong also expressed that she was willing to talk to Lao Zhu. Then Aunt Liang trembled, with tears in her eyes, and fell down. Everyone rushed to help. Aunt Liang scolded: "You old man who killed thousands of knives, you actually kidnapped my daughter! I still have a breath to think about!" I want to go back with Jinrong (Gu Yalei's Changsha Mandarin is really refreshing, and she is like a movie queen). There was chaos at the scene, and everyone sent Aunt Liang out of the house , Lao Zhu looked back at Jia Qian, who was leaning against the door of the restaurant, and turned to take Shan Shan out. Jiaqian looked at everything, thinking about how in just over a month, the family that seemed to be neat and harmonious had spread out like this. She glanced at the room and closed her eyes, trying to stop her tears.
A few months later, and on Sunday, Jiaqian was busy cooking in the kitchen (the grandmother immediately saw that Jiaqian had bought Lao Zhu's house). At this time, Guo Lun called and said that Jia Ning didn't sleep well last night while taking care of the child, so he couldn't bear to call her. Jia Qian hurriedly told her not to call her, and let her sleep well for a few months before she came back to see them. Lun thanked her for taking care of her for the past few months. Tuo Jiaqian said hello to Ming Dao Jiazhen. Jiaqian said that they could not come because of something. Today is their big day. At this time, Ming Daozheng and the pastor in the church were standing in the baptismal pool. After some questions and answers, the baptism was completed. The music of Ode to Joy was remembered in the church, and everyone sang.
In the new home, Lao Zhu packed up and came to the living room to ask Jin Rong, who was sitting on the rocking chair, how he was feeling. Jin Rong said it was okay, let Lao Zhu go first, Lao Zhu let her have a good rest, and he came back and took Shan Shan with him. return. Jin Rong stood up, holding her waist. It turned out that she was pregnant (remember Lao Zhu had checked out the prescription for nourishing the kidney before). Jin Rong helped Lao Zhu to straighten his collar, and said to Lao Zhu that he loved you, and Lao Zhu had a loving smile on his face.
The taxi came to Heping East Road and stopped in front of his hometown. Lao Zhu got out of the car and found that the previous key could not open the door. He sighed slightly and rang the doorbell. Jiaqian hurried out to open the door, telling everyone else that they couldn't come, and asked Shanshan and Jinrong again. Lao Zhu said that Jinrong was not feeling well, and Shanshan was at her grandmother's house (Aunt Liang still accepted the reality).
Lao Zhu glanced at the old house, Jia Qian in the kitchen greeted him to sit down, and poured the braised fish in the pot into the plate. The two were seated, Jiaqian scooped a bowl of fish soup for Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu tasted it and said that there was too much ginger in the soup, Jia Qian tried it and said that the seasoning recipe was exactly the same as the previous mother made, let Lao Zhu didn't point and point when he entered the kitchen. Lao Zhu couldn't say a word, he just criticized a little (the kitchen is now owned by Jiaqian, and the father and daughter's right to speak about the food has also changed). Lao Zhu reacted at this time, drank another two mouthfuls of soup, and said, "Jiaqian, I have tasted your soup." Jiaqian also understood that his father's sense of taste had recovered, and helped him to serve more. Lao Zhu held Jia Qian's hand holding the bowl with both hands, and slowly called to Jia Qian, "Daughter." "Dad!" Jia Qian responded in a low voice and affectionately. At this moment, the two people's deserted family banquet has more warmth than before.
"Diet Men and Women" is a Taiwanese drama film directed by Ang Lee and released in 1994. A large number of family food clips in the film should be closely related to Ang Lee's 6-year home cooking experience. Eating men and women, people's great desires, appetite and sexual desire are the instincts of human survival and reproduction. The opening of the film is a 4-minute food production, which corresponds to the theme of "diet", and the emotional experience of Lao Zhu's family corresponds to " Men and women", there are 5 family banquets in the story, and each time there is a dish corresponding to the fish (the time when Jia Ning announced that he was pregnant, the dish could not be seen clearly), which seems to imply the love of fish and water between men and women, especially the most At the beginning, Lao Zhu gave Jinrong fish, but she was burnt. This is the second time I have seen the foreshadowing of the fish delivery. I have watched it once a year for the past four years, and I can see new details every time. This time I watched it with my grandmother. I also found that Raymond mentioned the object of his marriage at the beginning. The first time the grandmother saw that Lao Wen had no children, so it was Lao Zhu's father and daughter who helped with the funeral, not to mention the vagueness of seeing half of it. Guessing the relationship between Lao Zhu and Jinrong, seeing Jiaqian cooking in the kitchen and saying that she bought Lao Zhu's house is a hidden attribute with her own delicate mind. The next sentence of "diet men and women" is "death is poor, and the great evil of man exists." Lao Wen's death corresponds to this sentence to some extent. Death is not only the end of himself, but also brings pain to those around you who care about you. , which is unavoidable. Interestingly, everyone's experience in the film makes people feel that the reversal is very big: Jia Ning, who looks like a little sister, was the first to get pregnant and married, or to win love with a knife, and Xiao Zhizhi also overplayed and overturned the car; It was always said that Lao Zhu would be with Jiazhen, who was his whole life, and he was impatient and did something shy with Mingdao, but maybe because of the early death of her mother, Jiazhen gave up the opportunity to study abroad, and made up the fact that she was kidnapped by a man. Lies that friends hurt, staying at home to play the role of a mother, so it seems that she has made a lot of sacrifices; Lao Zhu seems to be old and stubborn, but in fact it is the most unexpected, and at the end of the dinner table, the meaning of family is revealed, and the self-righteous Lao Zhu is also The newlywed Aunt Liang was so angry that she fainted to the ground; Jiaqian was in a hurry to escape from Lao Zhu's house at first, but in the end she was the only one who stayed. She was open and strong in pursuit of freedom, but she was also the one who missed her family the most. Only at the end did I realize that a home really requires everyone to have their own real life, so that even if they don't live together, they will still be full of warmth between family members.
