Chapter 3 "Family Food"

Let's recall this person from his past works together, indirectly interspersed with the speeches of relatives and friends. From the speeches of these relatives and friends, Wen Can pieced together a more complete Dongxiang.

Dong Heng's best friend before his death, a screenwriter who has collaborated with him in many works, and a big player in the industry, laughed and talked about Dong Heng's interesting things during his lifetime with red eyes.Speaking of the movie "Family Food" they collaborated on about the food of the Chinese people, the movie mainly revolves around the father cooking for his children. He will try his best to make a good dish on various holidays to attract the attention of the children who left home, and let them The children wrote down every dish and used it to remember their old father. Until the first festival after the old father passed away suddenly, they realized that what they wrote down was not the taste of the food, but the father's craftsmanship.The whole film starts with a fish head soup and ends with a fish head soup.

This film was made entirely because Dong Heng suddenly wanted to eat fish head soup one day, so he searched everywhere, tried, and ate, and found that none of them tasted delicious to him, so he set foot on During the journey to find fish head soup, a movie was also shot during the process.

That movie described the cooking process of the fish head soup very meticulously, from killing the fish to scales, removing the guts, slicing the fish, and putting it into the pot, every step was shot delicately and elegantly, which was not done by myself. If you can’t get it out, Dongheng feels that many emotions and cultures of the Chinese people are hidden in the food. If you dig carefully, you can taste a different Chinese taste.

This fish head soup is actually an ordinary southern family dish. When putting sauerkraut and tofu, add a little pepper. Although Dongheng is a mixed race, he is mixed with northern Chinese blood. This kind of bland and delicate taste, It's not like his favorite food at all, but he suddenly wanted to eat it at that time, he will do whatever he thinks of, and once he decides to do it, he won't look back.This should be the quality that every artist should have, which is different from ordinary people.

Wen Can is from the south, and his mother often made fish head soup. He stole this fish head soup from his mother. It is not difficult to make, but because they lived in the mountains at that time, they caught the fish by themselves. Good mountains and good waters produce good fish, so the fish head soup he made is more fresh and sweet than before. Dong Heng has been searching for so long but can't find what he thinks is delicious. Maybe he overlooked the simplest problem , the time when the dish appeared and the material itself determine that it is so delicious, a taste that no one else can replicate.

Wen Can had heard the story of 'Looking for Fish Head Soup' at the beginning of filming this film, and he lamented Dong Heng's persistence on this issue, and he didn't want to understand the simplest reason.

Later, after the movie came out, he secretly went to the cinema to buy a ticket to watch it. Others only saw the long-lasting emotions between relatives, and how we should face the sudden departure of such emotions.But Wen Can saw from the language of the movie that Dong Heng talked through every detail of the protagonist's cooking, and every flavor has a story about him, which cannot be copied.

Some small details will make Wen Can smile knowingly. These small details are not superfluous, but they are not obvious. If Wen Can hadn’t killed the fish to remove the internal organs, he would have put a towel on it. In the details, everyone just thinks that the protagonist is a clean old man.Wen Can smiled and remembered that when Dong Heng was watching her cooking this dish, she was curiously observing her every move like a primary school student.

At that time, the first few days before they started cooking, they were all made by Dongheng. One day he suddenly asked Wen Can if he could cook, and Wen Can said yes, so he suggested to cook some southern dishes for him to try. He has always felt that there are too few southern dishes.Wen Can knew that he was not used to southern tastes, so he thought of making a fish head soup with the fish they caught in the tank that day. It couldn't be pure southern ones. Adding chili would spoil the taste, so let's try adding some pepper.

They spent the whole morning cooking the next day. In fact, he also cooked several other dishes, but Dongheng was particularly fond of this fish head soup, not because it was so appetizing to him, he said, but just Because there is heart in this dish.

What do you mean?Dong Heng said: "You have thought hard about making this dish. It seems that you are not a person who is particularly particular about food. For my suggestion to eat southern dishes, if you want to be southern, but not too southern, you have to add some spicy. But I can’t let the chili gun taste, and when I finally made it myself, I was very satisfied, but I was worried that the northerners still couldn’t get used to it, Wen Can, you are a gentle person.” Wen Can smiled without saying a word.

You are a gentle person who can appreciate the meticulous thoughts of others.

This incident just passed, Wen Can never expected that he not only tasted the 'sincerity', but also remembered the 'sincerity', and later made such a delicate movie.
