There is a classic close-up shot in the well-known movie "Stock Madness" in Shanghai: a row of faucets dripping, pots and pans clinking, and the "symphony" played here is The most beautiful fireworks on earth. Yesterday, the famous comedian Wang Rugang was a guest at the 2024 Shanghai Summer Music Festival misa talk, and talked about Shanghai summer delicacies, including Zhou Baichun's bowl of red bean soup, Yang Huasheng's private fan cold noodles, and Wang's "exclusive secret recipe" for cooking mung bean soup... Sharing in just one hour will leave people with a lot to learn. At the end of the show, a grandma took out a cheat sheet and shared it with the little sister: "You just know how to laugh? I have written down the menu, and I will try it when I go back to bake it."
A qualified artist is usually an activist, appreciator Home and gourmet, a complete home is complete if you have all three "homes". In the comedy world, leading figures all like to eat and know how to eat. When Zhou Baichun was in his later years, Wang Rugang collaborated with him. In order to avoid the old man running around, Wang Rugang, a junior, always comes to ask for advice in daily rehearsals and running-in. Shanghainese people have the habit of eating dim sum in the afternoon, which is also known as "afternoon tea" in ancient times. One time when he went there, it happened to be the dim sum period, so Zhou Baichun invited him to have dim sum together. A bowl of red bean soup, he called it a "rough snack", but it was very particular. The red beans and red dates are plump, sprinkled with golden osmanthus, and the aroma is overflowing. Zhou Baichun told him that eating good food, regardless of price, "The red beans I chose are called Dahongpao, and the red dates are from Shanxi."
Yang Huasheng also knows how to "eat". Every summer, every household in Shanghai will make cold noodles. Although it is a common food, the flavor varies from house to house. So far, the most delicious cold noodles Wang Rugang has ever eaten was at Yang Huasheng’s house. Their cold noodles are clear in color, distinct in texture, moderately soft and chewy, and so delicious that you can’t put down your chopsticks. One time, Wang Rugang couldn't bear it anymore and asked him for the "secret recipe". The old man glared, "You're here to learn acting, or you're here to learn how to make cold noodles." In the end, she relented and told him: "What I call fan cold noodles. In the process of cooling the noodles, you have to add oil and mix the noodles while constantly fanning them. It looks like an ordinary bowl of noodles, but it really needs a lot of effort. "It's the same as singing."
all say that Shanghai is a city of gourmet food. When world-class artists come to Shanghai, they have to set aside time for food. Little do they know that in Shanghai, the most authentic delicacies are hidden in the "zao pi rooms" of every restaurant. The painter He Youzhi is originally from Ningbo, and his wife cooks authentic Ningbo dishes. My friend Ding Cong and others came from Beijing and were obsessed with Hejia's yellow croaker soup with pickles. This dish takes a lot of effort to make, and He Youzhi has to go back to "routine" his wife, "When Ila comes to Shanghai, it's not good not to entertain her, but all of them are naughty and refuse to go out to eat. It's really troublesome to come home. What can we do..." After decades of mutual affection, the wife responded, "What can we do? I will buy yellow croaker the day after tomorrow and ask Yi Laye to come for dinner."
Among the painters, Dai Dunbang also likes to eat. Wang Rugang said: "It is said that words are like the person, and so are the paintings. If you look at Dai Dunbang's food, the style is the same as his paintings." He has a strong taste, and he has to dip everything in soy sauce when eating salty food, and add soy sauce to the sweet rice dumplings. A lot of sweets, "Yi Huan likes to eat them to the extreme. Just like his paintings, the colors are bright, red and green contrast, and the various lines are very delicate." Artists love to eat, and many of his classic works are related to food. Take comic plays as examples: "Satisfaction or Dissatisfaction", "Spring Scenery in the Garden" and "Little Deyue Tower". Wang Rugang said: "Art comes from life. Only when you eat well can you laugh more happily." Nowadays, food safety issues have been paid attention to again and again, and it is indeed worth paying attention to, "because eating and laughing are the keys to people's health and longevity."
