In the early 1980s, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew through the morning bells and evening drums in the Forty-Nine Cities. Feng Fengshan, a well-known "stubborn master" in Xicheng, became a businessman with a "Yeluzi" background with his quick thinking. Following the pace of the great era, he "stitched things together", played with IT, and engaged in crude oil, and for a while he became an unparalleled trend-setter. But the god of luck did not always favor him. The stamp and coin market collapsed, causing Gao Fengshan to lose all his wealth. When he encountered youthful rebellion in his middle age, Fengfengshan didn't understand why the former "three good students" refused to enter the "good school" arrangement, nor did he understand why his son, who was originally excellent in both character and academics, suddenly became the "boss" in a vocational school. Until he saw his son who was born in the 1990s enter the society and gradually develop a hard-working temperament after experiencing a series of setbacks such as confusion, helplessness, and hitting a wall, he felt that the time had come. After all, "wild ways" are not the last word. The best "business rules" are integrity and integrity. The father and son decided to start with Qinxing. Since then, there is a braised pork restaurant on Huangsi Street that can not only accompany you to chat about ordinary things in the alleys, but also tell you about Beijing's 50 years of politics. A bowl of braised and roasted food can bring out all kinds of flavors in the world. The world still exists, and the rules still exist.
Reader comments
In the book, Feng Fengshan and his son Gao Shu respectively represent two generations, two eras in Beijing. When he was young, Feng Fengshan relied on his intelligence and wisdom to become a very popular businessman by using "Ye Luzi". However, "Ye Luzi" was not a long-term solution and eventually became a failure. Many years later, when they saw their son Gao Shu grow up and enter the society, after experiencing setbacks and hardships, the father and son opened a stew shop to chat about the little things in the alleys and the Jianghu affairs of Beijing in the 1950s, and gradually got on the right track. This stewed stew restaurant has been open to this day and is very popular among everyone. This story also tells us that if we want to do something well, we cannot just take wild paths and seek temporary happiness, but we must be down-to-earth and work towards success step by step.
I saw this book from the homepage recommendation. My homepage recommendation was originally about tomb robbers and supernatural beings, but suddenly this book was recommended to me. When I first saw this book, I gave it a pass because I felt that the name was not good. I felt that people in their 40s and 50s read the novel and then paid no attention to it. I also clicked in and read it myself. I read it from three in the morning to eight in the morning. I admit that I underestimated this book. I felt that the writing of Fengfengshan in it was very real. I also like the old people in Beijing, so I thought it was true. Based on my eight years of reading experience, this is definitely a rare book. I hope more people can read it. After reading it, you will discover the magic of this book.
The above only represents my personal opinion
"Stewed and Fired" describes the lives of little people in a truly down-to-earth way. When I read the description of Beijing in the 1960s in the book, and watched the protagonists, father and son, struggle passionately, solve one difficulty after another, and finally live a better and better life, my heart will also change with the characters' emotions. It is the little people in the big era that can move people, because the characters in the book have the shadow of the people around them, and the storyline in the book also has the flavor of life. The loyalty of old Beijing is really bloody. There are many familiar place names, and there is also Huayu Fashion Shopping Center. Haha, if you have the opportunity, go to Huangsi to try braised pork.
This book is clearly the personal experience of Mr. Gao, the famous Huangsi Luzhuhuoshao on Douyin. I've heard the past events he shared on Douyin. The names and places are exactly the same. It seems that this is Boss Gao's life memoir. I am born in the 1970s and grew up outside Germany. The places and events in the book such as Binhe Road, Rending Lake, Beijiao Market, etc. Are all vivid in my mind. I have heard about them or experienced them with great emotion. It all seems like yesterday. Thanks to the author for his wonderful writing. Let yourself recall that time again!
20251231: Spreading Flowers🌸In a short space of time, the growth of two generations of father and son Gaoshu Gaofeng is described! I envy the endless tossing in Fengfeng Mountain. It is really like "any pig standing in the wind can fly." Opportunities of the era are like cheating. They always seize the opportunity. A group of brothers and friends who are righteous... The "rebellious" Gao Shu finally did not go astray. From "hating his father" to "understanding his father" to "becoming a father", he grew up step by step to become the backbone of the family, a strong imprint of the times, endless aftertaste [laughing]
In the 1980s, China's stamp coin market gradually emerged, attracting a large number of investors and collectors. With the development of the market economy and the increase in people's wealth accumulation, the collection and trading of stamps and coins have gradually increased. The stamp and coin market has become a unique investment and communication platform. People realize the appreciation of wealth and the inheritance of culture by buying and selling stamps and coins. It is here that our protagonist, Gaofengshan, rises and falls, and writes a heavy chapter in his life. This book is a series of historical stories surrounding Gaofeng Mountain. If you are interested, you can read more.
It was so touching. I watched it in one night. I saw the righteousness and heroism of Jianghu. As a Beijing kid, I really yearn for such a life [face covering]. The ending is very well written. I would like to advise all young and old men not to imitate Young and Dangerous and live a good life.
Yes, the life of old Beijingers is described very realistically. Because I have also experienced that era. While reading, I thought back to my childhood. Full of memories. Now when I go to Beicheng to see it, it becomes very strange. This is how the times have changed.
Wow! Is the author really writing about the prototype of the current Huangsi Street braised food? [Laughing and crying] The son of the owner of this store seems to be named "Gao Shu", and his name in the book is "Gao Shu". I went to their store to eat braised pork some time ago.
Real and very good. It reminds me of every bit of my past. Recommended reading
It took me one night to read "Braised and Fired" in one sitting. This is the first time I read a Beijing-style novel, and I have a deeper understanding of the Beijing people's righteous, informal, and teasing character. This book tells a passionate history from the perspective of a small character. This history is real, picturesque, and full of worldly atmosphere. The book talks about corruption, gangs, crude oil, going to sea, collecting stamps, opening shops, demolition and many other things that the previous generation experienced. It not only laments the rapid changes in China.
How to say it? I just start from my own perspective, and I learned a lot from this book. Whether it's dealing with people or anything else, it has given me great inspiration.
Well, although it is very short, it describes all aspects of life. This is life.
It's very good. It describes the warmth and coldness of the world, and even the harshness of the world. After reading it, it makes people think a lot. I can't help but sigh about my own life. I love it very much.
A portrayal of life in the alleys of old Beijing!
So pyrotechnics, super real, awesome
Shows old Beijing and Beijing flavor
A song, a glass of wine, a beam of light, a tipsy atmosphere, and me crying while listening to the song
Suddenly I really like this kind of books, they are very interesting.
The author's writing style is average, but he writes about the characteristics of that era. The growth experience of the two generations of father and son has a certain degree of authenticity and is worth reading! !
Very nice. I wonder if this store still exists? Go check it out next time you go to Beijing.
Really well written
Write about all kinds of things in the world!
Plain and simple is the truth
The book is good and has a feeling of old Beijing!
Don't ask why, just watch it.
Thousands of words are all true feelings
Read it in one sitting, pretty good
Glory can be buried, but loyalty is like a big wave of gold rush.
It's flesh and blood and it's all said in one breath
