After finishing work, Yang Ye and Qiu Shuzhen drove to the typhoon shelter in Causeway Bay.
The so-called typhoon shelter was originally a harbor with less wind and waves where ships stopped to avoid typhoons at sea. Later, it also became a gathering place for people on the water when they were returning from fishing.
In the 1960s, there were not only Chinese fishermen in Hong Kong’s typhoon shelters, but also fishermen from Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines.
Fishermen from all over the country cooked on boats, communicated with each other, and inherited the delicacies of their respective hometowns, forming the unique flavor of typhoon shelter delicacies.
The Typhoon Shelter has also become an outlier among Cantonese cuisine, because Cantonese food is generally not spicy, but the Typhoon Shelter is famous for its spicy food.
With the rapid economic development of Hong Kong, the typhoon shelter in Causeway Bay has become more and more famous and has become a tourist attraction. Many people go to the boat to eat spicy crab.
Yang Ye asked Qiu Shuzhen: "Why did you think of going to Xiji for a late-night snack?"
Qiu Shuzhen said: "I feel very good eating delicious food in the sea breeze, the sound of oars and the shadow of the lights. Interesting! ”
“It’s good, but I can’t eat it now.”
“Ah, why?”
"Don't you watch the news? Because people on the water dump their food waste directly into the sea, causing water pollution, the Hong Kong government issued a decree two months ago to ban that place."
"Ah , where should we go to eat?”
“In fact, there is still something to eat, because those fishermen have to make a living when they go ashore!”
Yang Ye took Qiu Shuzhen around. , came to the bottom of a bridge and found a stall pushing a food cart.
There are a few simple tables and chairs in front of the stall. A middle-aged man is cleaning up with his head down, and a little boy in his teens is helping to wash the dishes. He is his son.
Yang Ye shouted: "Ah Xi!"
The man turned his head and said in surprise: "Sir, you are here!"
Yang Ye pulled Qiu Shuzhen to sit on a small stool. , and said with a smile: "There is no business today?"
"It's not comparable to what I was on the boat before, but it's okay. I just left two tables."
Yang Ye nodded. , start ordering.
Ah Xi was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly brought out the signature spicy crab, fried clams with black bean pepper, mud mackerel soaked in oil and salt water, and a portion of Tingzi porridge.
Although Yang Ye is worth hundreds of millions, he is a businessman and likes to eat at small stalls on the corners.
Qiu Shuzhen said she wanted to come to Xiji for a late-night snack, but she was just following her fancy.
Actually, a little fairy like her prefers a more refined place.
She would never come to a place like this that was not even a food stall.
Yang Ye brought a large crab claw to Qiu Shuzhen.
"Thank you!" Qiu Shuzhen ate a lot and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ye, why are you different from those rich people?"
"Which rich people?"
"The Zhou family, the Li family, those." Qiu Shuzhen was talking about the four major families in Hong Kong.
However, the four major families in the British Hong Kong period were different from those later. They are now the Zhou family, the Li family, the He family and the Li family.
Cucumbers and others who started their fortunes in real estate are all rising stars.
Yang Ye said: "What's different?"
"You hardly interact with them, and you never look down on people. You are also very friendly to roadside vendors and can get along with them. For example Rich people will never come to eat at this kind of stall. "
"Because I am in the entertainment industry. Movies, music, games, etc. are all for ordinary people's entertainment. If I am superior. , if you are separated from the masses, how can you know their needs and create works that they like?”
Qiu Shuzhen suddenly realized: “That’s it!”
"Everyone is born equal. Are you tired of pretending to be superior all day long and looking at people with your nostrils? I don't want to live like that!"
Qiu Shuzhen couldn't help but giggle when she heard this!
"Besides, everyone has their own circumstances. In the market, there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons. How do you know that an ordinary person you look down on today and humiliate at will will not become famous in the future? There is nothing wrong with being kind to others. Okay."
Qiu Shuzhen sighed sincerely: "Brother Ye, no wonder everyone likes you, you are so amazing!"
"Do you like me then?" br>
"I like...I like it!"
Yang Ye asked so straightforwardly that Qiu Shuzhen felt a little sweat on her forehead.
Spicy, it must be spicy!
The stir-fried crabs in typhoon shelters these days are different from those of later generations. The seasonings used now are tempeh, garlic, dried chili peppers and fresh chili peppers.
Soak the tempeh in water to remove the saltiness, mash it, add garlic and cook together, then add dried and fresh chili peppers and fry them together with the huge Vietnamese crabs.
Because it is really fragrant and spicy, it is called spicy crab.
Yang Ye asked someone to bring a bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it to Qiu Shuzhen.
“Drink some water!”
“Thank you, Brother Ye!” Qiu Shuzhen drank some water and continued to eat crabs.
Spicy, spicy, delicious and really delicious.
Yang Ye saw that Qiu Shuzhen was a little embarrassed, so he turned to Ah Xi and said: "Ah Xi, the crabs were fried well, and they still taste the same when they are landed."
A Xi sighed: "It's done. After arriving, the former diners could not find a place and stopped coming. They could only do business with nearby neighbors, and most people couldn't eat spicy food, so the business was not as good as before."
Yang Ye said: "You can cater to it. According to the taste of diners, a non-spicy version will be introduced.”
Ah Xi said: “What Sir Alex said is that I am currently working on a less spicy version, but if we simply reduce the spiciness, there is no way. It’s special. I hope it can increase the flavor while reducing the spiciness.”
Yang Ye gave a thumbs up: “Not bad, very business-minded. I’ll come back to support you when you succeed in your research.”
"Then it's such an honor for me, thank you Sir!" Ah Xi was very happy.
Axi’s name is Liao Xi, and he really succeeded in developing a version with reduced spiciness and increased flavor.
He invented the golden garlic version of Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab by frying it with a lot of garlic until fragrant and then frying it with crabs.
Based on this, we have developed a series of typhoon shelter delicacies such as Typhoon Shelter Sea Shrimp, Typhoon Shelter Dongshan Abalone, Typhoon Shelter Taihu Whitebait, and Typhoon Shelter Durian Piao Piao.
He has promoted Typhoon Shelter cuisine and opened more than 50 Xiji restaurants around the world.
He also returned to his hometown of Zengcheng, Guangzhou, and opened a Xiji Food Factory, specializing in developing a series of typhoon shelter condiments.
In the marketplace, crouching tigers, hidden dragons, who would have thought that a middle-aged man pushing a mobile stall to fry crabs would one day become a billionaire?
……
Because she ate a lot of chili peppers, Qiu Shuzhen kept fanning her mouth with her hands.
Yang Ye said funnyly: "You can't eat spicy food, but you still eat so much?"
Qiu Shuzhen pouted and said: "It's delicious!"
Her lips were slightly red and swollen due to the stimulation of spicy spices. They looked smooth and very attractive.
Yang Ye's heart moved and he said: "I have a way to relieve spicy food. Do you want to try it?"
Qiu Shuzhen asked: "What way is it?"
"Close your eyes!"
"Oh!"
Qiu Shuzhen closed her eyes as instructed and waited obediently for Yang Ye to help her relieve the heat.
Yang Ye lowered his head and kissed her seductive red lips...
After a sweet kiss, Qiu Shuzhen opened her eyes shyly, only to see Yang Ye looking at her with burning eyes. , said softly: "Is it still spicy?"
"Still...a little bit!" Qiu Shuzhen's voice was like a mosquito, but Yang Ye heard it clearly, lowered his head, and continued to help her relieve the spicy taste.
This time, Qiu Shuzhen became more proactive. She stretched out her hands and hooked Yang Ye's neck.
......
Yang Ye ate the breakfast Qiu Shuzhen made for her and said, "Doudou, you have taken some time recently to learn cooking skills."
Qiu Shuzhen When Zhen heard this, she immediately grimaced. She tried so hard to make a love breakfast for Yang Ye, but in the end she was criticized for her poor cooking skills.
"Does it taste bad?"
Qiu Shuzhen took a bite of the noodles she cooked and felt pretty good.
“Ah, don’t get me wrong!” Yang Ye quickly took a big mouthful of noodles and said incomprehensibly, “I love eating the noodles you cooked.”
Yang Ye He swallowed the noodles, took a sip of water, and then said: "I was so hot last year that I released three movies, but I have no movies to show this year.
The company still hopes that I can make one. The movie comes out and supports the show!
So, I thought of a script. As the heroine of this movie, I think you are very suitable. "
Qiu Shuzhen said oh, very happy. Sure enough, after becoming Yang Ye's woman, the resources will come immediately.
Speaking of which, Yang Ye is too realistic.
But Qiu Shuzhen said curiously: "Shouldn't I learn kung fu?" Why are you learning cooking? ”
Because most of Yang Ye’s movies were action/war movies, Qiu Shuzhen’s first reaction was that she should learn kung fu.
Yang Ye shook his head: "It's too troublesome to make an action movie. I have a lot of things to do and can't spare the time. This time... it's a romance film."
"A romance film?"< br>
"What happened to romance movies? The "Lover" I played back then was a box office hit!"
Qiu Shuzhen suddenly remembered, yes, Yang Ye was still the leading actor in a third-level film Woolen cloth.
Qiu Shuzhen said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you used to make up a love story every year and make it into a movie. Even the master said that you are not only a kung fu master, but also a love master.
< br>
It's a pity that those movies were all acted by others. I always thought, what would it be like if you acted it yourself? "
"Well, you will accompany me this time, okay? "
"Okay! "
"But if I don't act in action movies, the box office won't be as popular! "
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can be with you, I will be happy! ”
"So good!" Yang Ye was very satisfied and scratched Qiu Shuzhen's nose lovingly.
Qiu Shuzhen wrinkled her nose and asked: "Brother Ye, what is the name of our movie?"
Yang Ye looked into Qiu Shuzhen's eyes and said slowly: "I, I like you!"
Qiu Shuzhen said happily: "I like you too!"
Yang Ye laughed: "I was talking about the name of the movie!"
"What kind of story is this?"
Yang Ye waved: "Come here!"
"Oh!"
Qiu Shuzhen came over obediently and sat on Yang In Ye's arms, Yang Ye hugged her soft and fragrant body and said:
"Last night we went to eat spicy crab, which made me think that if we combine food and love, we might be able to shoot A very interesting movie.”
When Qiu Shuzhen heard this, she felt very interesting and said with some admiration: "Did you think of the story so quickly?"
Her head rested on Yang Ye's chin, and she shook her head slightly, her soft hair Rubbing Yang Ye's neck, it felt itchy.
Yang Ye was very pleased. He put his arms around her slender waist and said, "Well! This time, it's a story between a domineering CEO with a net worth of tens of billions and a pretty little cook! "
"Bossy boss, little cook? It feels very interesting!"
"After thinking about this theme, I designed this story based on the two of us. I am the president, and you are my lovely little cook.”
The story Yang Ye told is "Like You" starring Jin Chengwu and Zhou Dongyu in later generations.
For later generations, this movie is a relatively old-fashioned story, not much of a classic.
However, the reputation was not bad, and in the end it got a box office of 200 million, making it the top box office romance film of the year.
Later, Zhao Lusi made another TV series version, and the ratings were also good.
But this theme was relatively new in the 1990s.
This movie is about: Gu Shengnan, the second chef of a hotel's Western restaurant, has been secretly in love with the hotel general manager. As a result, the hotel encountered a business crisis and the general manager broke up.
After Gu Shengnan suffered a double blow from love breakup and career, he met Lu Jin, the domineering president who came to acquire the hotel.
The two people with different personalities developed a love in the process of getting along with each other, and Lu Jin eventually became Gu Shengnan's loyal boyfriend.
After the baptism of "Meteor Garden", the audience has generally accepted the concept of a domineering president.
It is more timely to make a serious movie about a domineering president at this time.
For Yang Ye, he always feels that some of the movies of later generations are good in themselves, but the people are not good enough, and in the end the movies are not good either.
For example, in the movie "The Sword of the Third Young Master", the Third Young Master played by Lin Gou was very subpar, and neither was Murong Qiudi played by Jiang Yiyan.
After Yang Ye translated this movie and cast Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Rosamund Kwan, and Xiao Qiang to star, the look and feel was completely different, and the reputation was very good.
For another example, the movie "Mermaid" was played by Deng Chao in the original version, and it felt almost uninteresting. Yang Ye asked Zhou Xingchi to play the role, and it felt right.
This is not because Yang Ye favors one over the other, favoring the past over the present. The actors of the golden generation of Hong Kong films are really the ceiling of the Chinese film industry.
For example, Jet Li's appearance, kung fu, and acting skills are all top-notch. Such a trinity of actors is unprecedented and unprecedented.
Zhou Xingchi's comedy skills are unrivaled in the Chinese world. No one can use them. The key is that he is handsome.
Like actresses, many actresses in this era are truly gorgeous and charming.
And there are many classic works to show their beauty and style. People and works complement each other and complement each other, which will naturally leave immortal legends.
Even if the actresses of later generations have very good looks, it will be in vain without good works to highlight and amplify them.
In the end... I can only rely on polished photos to show off.
But everyone uses the same software to refine photos, the ideas are basically the same, and the effects they present are also similar.
In the end, they all turned into the same, featureless wooden beauties.
Unlike the 1980s and 1990s, each place is beautiful in its own way.
Following this line of thinking, Yang Ye feels that many movies can be transformed.
For example, in "Like You", the original version cast Kim Sung-wu as the boss and Lin Chi-ling as the boss's assistant. There was no problem.
But if Zhou Dongyu is cast as the heroine, it will make people feel that this CEO has some special sexual fetish.
Otherwise, how could you let Lin Zhiling go and ask for his mother-in-law Zhou Dongyu?
Of course, there is a reason for this movie to be like this, because it was originally made for women.
Photography like this can satisfy some women’s fantasies.
Yang Ye didn't need to do this. He made this movie just to pick up girls.
Yang Ye himself is a domineering CEO with a net worth of tens of billions, which is very suitable for the identity of the protagonist in the movie.
The heroine is a pretty and cute beauty like Qiu Shuzhen, which is interesting to pick up. (End of this chapter)
