Mr. Zhang Liming, an expert in literature and history, said that when he was a child, the fires were all personal, and there was no neighborhood committee before liberation. Since Laowei County, there are "three dozen", playing idle (1), striking iron, and fighting fire. Low cost, fast money, Weixian poor preferred industry.
By the time I was young, The small business of meat fire, chicken and duck, and music was owned by the street committee. The street committee is also called the street family committee, also called the wife committee, referred to as the committee. At that time, it was said that the committee was a neighborhood committee. There are many groups under the neighborhood committee, such as the sewing group that takes over the work of making clothes, the construction group that pushes sand and plasters lime and satchel cement, and the food group that steames steamed buns and burns them, commonly known as stalls or shops.
Most of the people who burned the fire were street housewives, and the main hits, supervisors, and backbones were mostly elderly women. The old woman who has seen the head of the meat burning shop not only presides over the division of labor arrangements for each staff member to work, but also has to open up the income and expenditure of the entire business and trade. When the meal is busy, there is an endless stream of people who come to eat meat and fire, pay money and pay food stamps, queue up to pick up goods, whether it is how much money has been received from seven or eight ten people in front of you, eating and taking away here? How many are you given? A few meats of a few vegetarian a few noodles of a few noodles or something, Zhang San Li Si, who comes first and who comes after, one five and one ten can be clear, there are plates and eyes, accurate, not wrong, said Baba drops. Then from the perspective of the composition and technical content of the members of the fire shop, the high-end experience experience that can represent or control the taste buds of this city is actually some elderly women who can nest strangely four lines. Even, we can responsibly say that the core force that once influenced the right to development of Weifang's famous meat-burning right to development and made a major contribution was a bunch of street wives.
The façade of the fire-burned shop is not located in a high hall house, but a small grass house with a low thatched eaves on the street corner. Mud walls, land, pay attention to the point is only that the upper side can be tied with a false shed, the bottom can be paved with bricks, and the exposed beams and purlins and houses cannot be taken care of. Narrow space, in addition to a few plates of fire stoves, noodle cases, tables and stools with stuffing pots, the work is very crowded, and it is impossible to directly adjust the stomach, so it is often seen that the primary school apprentices of the fire shop are preparing materials on the roadside outside the house, bending down to rub coal and charcoal, sitting on a small bench Mazazi to pick vegetables and peel onions. The house burned on fire, lined up outside the house, collected money and food stamps from the small window, and then handed out the meat burned in the stove, stood or squatted to eat, and then you took it, did not put down the eight immortals table bench for you to sit and eat, and still wait to drink salty porridge and eat tofu brain? That's all for the rest of your life. Plug in the car (bicycle), line up, take a thick paper cushion with your hand and put it on the back shelf of the car, pick up a mouth, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Whether you are a Weifang person, the tunnel is not authentic, will not eat meat fire, posture standards are not standard, norms are not standardized, it depends on whether you eat meat fire is squatting.
In the past, there were many meat and fire shops, the streets and alleys were dotted, not far away, the quality was not bad, and the smell of fragrance was half a street away. The meat fire in the South Street next to the Yulu Spring Bathhouse is very famous, and when I work at the Changwei Exhibition Hall, there are more people who go near, and a few young people often do not go home at noon, and they all take turns to invite guests here. Not only did I, but I often met Ding Hong, Zhang Hong, Wang Hong, And Li Hong, a bunch of explainers, explainers, strange tricks, and twittering. I don't know which of them the steward's wife and daughter-in-law want to get which one to get, always make an exception to let them eat directly in the house without queuing, and when they arrive at it, they will eat an ancient ancient (dialect: referring to no story). One of my classmates, however, took advantage of the meat to burn a sister and later became his wife.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Weifang was a bit stable and a little later, and around 1986, when enterprises were restructured, workers bought out or retired early, and Weifang's private self-employment began to prevail. The initiator of the meat fire burning family in the City God Temple had earlier worked in the fire shop of the Beimen Avenue Neighborhood Committee, and then she took her family to open it, and some close neighbors often went to find food, plus the ten doors and nine relatives of Weixian County, and the reputation spread. In addition to going to the City God Temple every three or five minutes to eat meat and burn it, I also said that the eldest son of the lady who started the meat fire in the City God Temple was my comrade-in-arms Wang Antai. In fact, it doesn't matter who is authentic, authentic is not judged to create drops, authentic are eaten by word of mouth by word of mouth, authentic are baked out of the earth stove charcoal flue smoke. "Authentic Meat Burning Capital" Any drop is a self-sealing drop.
There is also an old saying in Weifang that the fire shop does not stop burning all year round, except for the few days under the root of the year. The meat is not burned like selling a bunch of fire in the morning and selling it for a while at noon, and in the second half of the day, it will live and not wait, but it will be twenty-four hours, and it will be eaten as you go. Therefore, those factory workers who worked three shifts (2) at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night and still wore overalls, office secretaries who wore glasses and sleeves to fight at night to make a surprise draft at dawn, and even those card friends who had been hungry all night around the road teeth under the street lamps and shouted all night hungry, all jumped to eat meat and burned in the middle of the night.
My cousin Officer Yan is a big cap old detective, when he was young, he worked overtime at the police station at night, walked the streets and alleys to patrol and turn around yo-yo wood, there was no place to slip out, and he knew which meat was burning for twenty-four hours and ate delicious people, so he said that he inquired about what place including eating Damen er had to go to find Jing Cha Shu, so it was said that Jing Cha Shu Was known more - Dongfeng Street Big Cross West Road North, Checkerboard Street Xinhua Cinema opposite, Xiangyang Road Intermediate Court opposite, Xiangyang Road North Section of the former cross south, Xiangyang Road North Section of the former cross south, Xiangyang Road next to the water alley entrance, next to the small intersection, the middle section of Beimen Street, Nangong Street, the south of the West Head Road of Grocery Street, the north side of the Radio Factory in Dongguan North Xiahe Street, Lijia Street, North North Street, the south exit of Nansiqian Street, the corner of the wall wall of Weichai Department Store, the north end of the dormitory of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau of College Street, the location of the original Dahua Shopping Mall is a souvenir shop, where there is also a home.
Not far north of the railway station, there is a meat fire shop open all night in the west of Heping Road South Shou Road, many business trips are night trains to the station, just out of the station there is a strong and strong, aroma attacking, can fill half a street of meat fire smell rushing in, do not feel a warm current in the heart, nose a sour corner of the eye a hot, this is the official drip to Weifang La.
Meat fire is hard currency, and the guest is meat fire, and there is no invitation to drink or eat. At that time, all units had to hold their own "class education exhibitions" or "reminiscences and sweet exhibitions", and those of us who were professional artists or some amateur masters would be invited by some units to help others run exhibitions and carry out propaganda activities after work. Somehow, I looked at my wolf-devouring partner and kept saying the old saying, "Horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat."
Bets are also bets on a few meat fires, then bets, no money, no meals, no box of cigarettes, a bottle of wine, feel unaffordable, nor do you say a few bowls of peace, a few rolls of chaotian pot, a pack of snacks, a drawer of buns, a pound of fritters, feel troublesome. It is not as painful, clear and quantitative as gambling on meat fire, a meat fire burned 8 or 9 cents, one or two food stamps, easy to implement operation.
Betting is better than strength, than ability, martial arts, more skill, more knowledge, than poker, more chess, more than running, more jumping, than taking a handle to break the wrist, than moving a stone, than carrying a big bag, than flipping a lever, than push-ups, than touching a high, than throwing a wall, than taking a big roof, than being far away, than being accurate, than swimming, than holding your breath, than sinking to the bottom, than climbing a tree, than going to the house, than hitting a flying foot, than wrestling and pulling a rudder, than being bolder than not being afraid of ghosts, walking through the cemetery at night, than seeing who dares to go down to the grave and drill the grave... It's all about gambling on meat fire, meat fire, meat fire. In order to win, he ate a meat fire, which was simply omnipotent in heaven and earth, and he gambled everything he could eat and drink.
Wen you Dagui once said a story about their young workers betting on eating meat and burning fire: Once, they bet that they would set up a meat fire at one end of the workshop, and asked the gamblers to go through the entire workshop from the other end of the workshop, blindfolded, and groped through the entire workshop, and the terrain in the workshop was extremely complex, all kinds of machine tools, various machine parts, various tools, all kinds of production materials, irregularly set, stacked, stored on the floor of the workshop tens of meters long, outsiders seem to be a trance array, you also have to grope through blindfolded, The body cannot touch anything, otherwise it will lose. If you don't touch the head and break the blood flow on those iron sharp objects, and if you don't fall on all fours and eight forks without being mixed up by the obstacles on the ground, you are already burning high incense. The difficulty and even the danger are conceivable. Unless you are extremely familiar with the environment of this workshop, Cu Ding is very familiar with the cattle, raise your hands and throw your feet without any obstacles, go around perfectly, and go straight to the gambling meat fire, it is difficult to walk down and win the game.
Small bets on two meat burns, generally five or six bets, no bets on ten, ten is too greedy, you can't eat. But there was a story in the radio factory, the workers bet between them who could eat ten meats at once, one ate eleven at a time, over ten won, but let the teacher Fu hold a good scolding and pout to say good approval, the work did not let him do it, and kept him slipping away from the White Wave River Cliff for an afternoon. It seems that the working class is an advanced class The working class is the leading class The working class leads everything is not nonsense, and the level of betting with hard currency meat fire is also higher than that of the general masses.
exegesis:
(1) Idleness: refers to the empty person taking a bar, a rope, waiting in front of the station, collecting work, doing some money, and trading the fastest.
(2) Three shifts refers to the 8-hour work system implemented in China, changing shifts every 8 hours. The morning shift is the main shift, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the second shift is 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m., also called the small night shift, the third shift is also called the big night shift, 0:00 to 8:00. The cycle repeats, "resting people without stopping horses".
