Social media is his position to openly criticize others, because he doesn't feel soft without looking at the other person's face. Not many people in life call him Tong Lei the name, everyone likes to call him "Brother Pants", and his personality is actually very different from the Feng Pants in "Days Related to Youth".
He is straightforward, nostalgic, free-spirited, lectured, never climbed the ladder, his social media account name is "Leisurely Old Way", he claims to be a practitioner, not a star.
For those friends who disappointed him, he was ruthless, and he would also criticize the phenomenon he was not accustomed to, he shelled the entertainment industry actors and actresses not well filmed, but the pomp was bigger than one, and said that he never despised to be with some so-called traffic stars.
He has very high requirements for friends, he once said: Those who set friends with you are all suitable for themselves and do not care about you at all, you are just a stepping stone for his greed for wealth, although my face is thin, but my method is to let the fake friends pit me a little, and I have a reason to ignore him again.
The non-stop life is not Tong Lei's pursuit, and "eating and getting drunk" with his really good brother is his lifelong pursuit. He once said: I am not in the restaurant, or on the way to the restaurant, three full and one fall is the true meaning of my life.
Tong Lei has not worked much over the years, but they are all impressive roles, in fact, Tong Lei's resources are good, but he deliberately keeps a distance from this circle, and he also believes that filming is actually a physical work, he only picks up good roles, he thinks that he can only make money and has no spiritual core Of the role he will not take, so over the years basically ten plays he has to push away eight.
He wants to leave himself more time to enjoy life, and many people speculate that unlike many people, Tong Lei is not a rich second generation, his parents are ordinary workers, he is crowded in a 27-square-meter old house in The Drum Tower, his family is counted as five generations of Beijingers, and his ancestors have lived in the Drum Tower for generations and have never left.
He has no mansion, no luxury car, and not much money, but because the audience loves him too much, many people will take the initiative to set up a banquet to entertain him, and he never distances himself from the audience, he is more like a jianghu person, who is willing to meet him, he does not refuse.
If he had asked for dinner at Tieba and other social media, he would have been scheduled for this time next year.
During the epidemic period, Tong Lei had to say goodbye to the restaurant temporarily, and he used this time to improve his cooking skills a lot. The lamb of NiuJie, full of a broken pepper, and finally sieved out a small bowl of standards, and the rest will be put at home for dehumidification and deodorization. It took more than an hour to crush, sift, and wash, and the lamb skewers that came out of the roast were amazing.
His fried sauce noodles are also rare opponents, he claims that his fried sauce two points rely on craftsmanship and eight points by the next ingredient, the ingredients must be carefully selected, the taste is not good Today's meal would rather not eat than make it up.
The pork used in the fried sauce is all black pork, and the large meat is cut through the spine, and the taste is good and fragrant. Add a little sea rice to play the role of MSG to enhance freshness, Liu Bi Ju yellow sauce, Tianyuan sweet noodle sauce, when others use water, he uses French beer 1664. He said modestly, "Any fried sauce noodle in any restaurant is standing on my side."
He claimed that this was the difference between a eater and a foodie, that he clearly belonged to the former, and that he was really exquisite in eating.
Tong Lei, who claims to be the master of eating, also has his own set of logic and experience, and he summed up the principle of eating and drinking in Beijing, that is, affordable and good taste.
Of course, don't be fooled, there must be three statements: 1, don't listen to the three words of "old Beijing", hear it and leave, it is really the old Beijingers who make a deal to say this; 2, don't look at the introduction on the Internet, even if it is delicious enough to add his advertising promotion to hire Internet celebrities to add money to the dishes, the cost performance is reduced, not to mention that few children are really delicious; 3, a bunch of young people queue up in the place don't go, the emperor's new clothes.
Of course, for the native Beijing children, now Beijing's local catering is to eat a roughly, in his view, the entire old Beijing food culture is shrinking, and then in ten years and eight years it will be completely replaced by pseudo-culture, so take advantage of the fact that there is still can drink fried liver, there is a delicious brine, try to eat as much as possible to drink more, not sure which day will be completely gone, just like the old Beijing city, the place name is left.
Of course, the small room of 27 square meters on the side of the drum tower is estimated to be almost impossible to live in, and it has become a tourist area, and everywhere there are young people holding selfie sticks and holding SLR, which is about to become a tangible cultural heritage. The original taste has long since been lost.
People often worry that sooner or later, the land where they have lived for several generations will face retreat, and how many people are unwilling to leave, but Tong Lei has a different view: "I am definitely willing to move away, and the use of the hutong that has lost its soul is simply chaotic."
After all, but sometimes when the love is strong, he will also shed tears on the wine table, after all, this is the thought of his childhood, saying that he and a lifetime of food mixed with alcohol gushed out. The face was already indistinguishable from tears or drinks, like washing his face, which was exactly the same as "Feng Pants".
After waking up drunk, Tong Lei will also explain publicly to everyone, fortunately, vomiting into the sewer did not dirty elsewhere, he gritted his teeth and promised, the next time honestly drink beer to get over the addiction, drinking liquor is really not that amount.
Speaking of such a good dish, it is not surprising that you unconsciously drink more, after all, for Tong Lei, there are not many restaurants in Beijing that can make old flavors now, and eating is a feeling.
In addition to the sights and familiar architecture of Beijing, Tong Lei is also sad that Beijing's traditional old rituals are slowly disappearing.
In the past, the old Beijingers, that is really called there is a face, no matter what, is a grandfather should have an explanation, the appointment is late or not to come can not wait for others to ask, to take the initiative in advance and the appointment bureau friends to make it clear, can not temporarily break the contract. Promise other people's things, may be because of busy or drinking and forget, but as long as others remind you, you must accept with an open mind, quickly double the things you promised, this is Tong Lei's principle of being a person, but also his requirements for friends.
Nowadays, communication is more developed, people are more punctual, eat a meal without seven or eight phone calls, he can't get to the scene, either in this traffic jam, or temporarily encounter something, said that a moment will arrive, not half an hour and forty minutes you can not see others.
He also specially popularized the rules of eating for old Beijingers, and in the past people often said that they were "covered with a hat", what does it mean? Said today sitting in the right seat of the owner, he invited guests to dinner, the first dish he will start first, make a sample, the remaining table people hear the name of the dish he ordered basically know what the standard of today's meal is. Everyone turning the menu, should understand, who ordered the dish can not exceed the price of the first dish, this is called "cap", which is actually a cryptic way for the owner to express the scope of their own acceptance, today's children who still understand this, are holding the menu blind, no cap, impolite.
In the past, watching "Days Related to Youth", I knew that the "Feng Pants" played by Tong Lei was a classic character image, but no one expected that Tong Lei was such a cultured, profound, deep,and deeply obsessed with Beijing's traditional culture.
Tong Lei said that life is such a pair of skin bags for decades, saying that it is gone, in a limited time, there is a little pursuit of life, some remembrance of the past time, and some nostalgia for the lost culture, which is his faith and the wealth of his life.
