Chapter 20 wash your hands to get dirty again

Do you feel suffocated? I still feel bored to this day, let alone when I was a child. Someone told me that Wang Xifeng in the film is very good at dealing with people, and I am very confused—— Is Wang Xifeng so powerful?Are there any friends who are better than those of mom?Is there anyone better than Aunt Shirley? (Aunt Shirley forced her man to spend the night in his underwear on the street.) Is it better than Xiao Tao's mother? (Xiao Tao’s mother’s method of testing servants is to put diamond rings all over the house.) Probably because there are often “many Wang Xifeng” coming in and out of the house. When I look at it, I think Wang Xifeng is “normal”!

Some people also told me that Grandma Liu in the film is very funny, and I was also puzzled when I was a child-because Obasan, the laundryman in our family, saw the flush toilet for the first time, and he was very happy to throw all the clothes in it and flush it again. , seems to be better than Grandma Liu, right? In the whole book, except for Wang Xifeng and Grandma Liu, there are really no characters that can attract children.After I grew up, of course I was able to appreciate the subtlety and denseness, but unfortunately I still often couldn't hold back my temper and couldn't get into it.

Once, I was asked by the novelist Mr. Bai Xianyong to help adapt his movie script of "The Legend of the Immortals". After rewriting and rewriting, he began to tell another story he wanted to write, which was about a pair of childhood sweethearts who learned Kunqu opera. Actors, he talked more and more vigorously. When he talked about the scene of the couple performing Kunqu opera, he simply stood up and showed me—— Mr. Bai gesticulated and sang a few lines, but found that I had no reaction, so he stopped and looked at me: "Huh? You don't like it?" He asked me. "I don't like it." I answered honestly, "Tang Minghuang, who is an emperor, babbles and dances fan dance with Concubine Yang with his little finger up. I don't like it."

"Oh!" Mr. Bai Xianyong paused, regretting his opponent playing the piano. He didn't give up and wanted to save me: "Then you like Kunqu Opera "A Dream in the Garden" right?!" Mr. Bai asked. "I don't like it either." I honestly replied: "The protagonist sleeps, and the audience sleeps too." "Alas!" Mr. Bai Xianyong stamped his feet twice, regretting that his sea cucumbers were regarded as fat leeches by me. He has the heart of Tang Sanzang, he still does not give up, he still wants to save me: "Then you always like it?!" He held on to the last glimmer of hope.

"No. They're always eating," I replied. "Alas! Alas! Alas!" He stamped his feet three times, Tang Sanzang witnessed with his own eyes that I, Zhu Bajie, swallowed his ginseng fruit alive. Bai Xianyong gave up. Probably has reached his "bottom limit". "How can you not like it..." He held his forehead and muttered to himself. Children who read Chinese must like it more than they like it. There is no way—— "Journey to the West" is all about animals eating human flesh, and "Red Mansion" is all about people eating animal meat.Children who love to rebel, of course, like "Journey to the West".

But compared to, I prefer. I can't stand Tang Sanzang. If I were to escort this monk to learn scriptures, I would be the first to eat him before all the monsters. Sun Wukong is of course strong enough. When he was making troubles in the heavenly palace, he punished a bunch of unintelligible gods and officials. He is a hero. Unfortunately, his skills are not as good as others, so he surrendered to the heavenly government.The degree of disappointment in my young heart is like watching Yang Guo become some kind of "Condor Hero". They become "kind", and they are also discouraged.

In it, there is the supreme power, which cannot be defied.This is really disappointing. Children don't have any metaphysical thinking. Children instinctively believe that the world is for adventure, rules are for breaking, and washing hands is for re-soiling. Once a child finds out—all these adventures, violations, and soiling are just to serve the highest Yizhi and obey the highest order, they will definitely feel very useless! I watched "Journey to the West", and when I saw that at the end, Zhu Bajie was named the marshal of what a shit, I threw the book aside with a "chi":

These guys are really worthless! Children don't have much wisdom, they only rely on their will and their breath. For me when I was a child, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms competed for the world, which was very energetic.What about Tang Seng and his disciples?It's too much like being a "bodyguard"! He is messy, you are refreshing! Is it that the more mature and rotten our attitude towards the world, the more mature and rotten our taste in food? Cooked and rotten is a very important style of Shanghai cuisine.When I was young, I played mahjong at home, and my afternoon snacks were often Jiangsu-Zhejiang zongzi, which were longer than ordinary Taiwanese zongzi. After steaming, they were messy and sticky, and they looked very self-defeating.

Although my sister and brother don't participate in the poker game at all, we do have a share in the dim sum. Every time we encounter this messy rice dumpling, my sister and I keep making disgusting expressions and lose our appetite. I still watch cheap horror movies, and when I see the skin on the faces of those walking dead, falling here and there, I still think of the sad scene of picking up rotten meat dumplings with chopsticks. Of course, I am not afraid of rotten meat dumplings now.Well-cooked food actually tastes easier and has more layers. Compared with raw food, it has another kind of worldly sophistication.This is very similar to being in a relationship. You will like a lover who eats raw and domineering, but slowly, as life becomes more mature, you will also like a lover who cooks slowly.

For those who are not familiar with Shanghai cuisine, if they see the name of the dish on the menu, such as "rotten paste pork shreds", they may feel a little weird. When I was young, the most respected person in my family was my grandmother.Grandma's chopsticks are very strange, a pair of thin silver chopsticks not much thicker than a toothpick.What grandma eats is even more peculiar, always a bowl of yellow "bad noodles". The dish used to match the rotten noodles is also peculiar, which is "duck brain".In front of grandma's seat, a duck head split in half is placed every night, like a violin waiting to be completed.

Thin silver chopsticks, rotten yellow noodles, and a split duck head, these are the "titles" of dinner every night, and my association with "old age". I've come to believe that "bad mush" is an indicator of "aging". I don't even like bad dishes. It takes a lot of time to make "bad paste" dishes, and it's not like shark's fin and sea cucumbers that take a lot of effort to make, and they can win everyone's admiration when they are served on the table.Things like rotten pork shreds and rotten noodles won't get much applause and can't be raised. When the old man eats these messy dishes, it seems like he is chewing his own life... When I was a child, of course I couldn't appreciate the fun of "wasting life".However, all the civilizations that are heavy, decadent, that will not be thrown away even if the sky falls, and that pay attention to "style" all take "wasting life" as their basic attitude. No matter how much you squander, it is impossible to be more generous than "wasting life". Excessively lengthy scrolls, excessively lengthy Kunqu opera, bonsai with twisted branches, embroidery, back rubbing, opium smoke, and food that is cooked slowly. At auctions of Chinese antiques, it's easy to see a whole lot of hysterical detail.Faced with such a lengthy civil society, life is ridiculously short.But we were inspired with a libertine determination— This civilization must be comprehensive.Therefore, our life is only suitable for putting all our eggs in one basket and giving it a go, so that we may have some fun...
